Kõnepost

Käänepost is a Finnish term that translates to "turnaround post" or "reverse post." It refers to a specific type of postal service or delivery method where the sender also acts as the recipient, or where a package is sent back to its original sender without a new transaction. This often occurs in the context of returns for online purchases or when a service requires a product to be sent back for repair or inspection.

The process typically involves the customer receiving a pre-paid shipping label or instructions from the seller or service provider. The customer then uses this label to send the item back to the original point of origin. This streamlines the return process and reduces the logistical burden for both the customer and the business. Käänepost can also be used in scenarios where a company sends out materials for a specific task, and the completed task is then returned using the same initial packaging or shipping method. This concept emphasizes efficiency and resourcefulness in logistical operations.
