Helthjem Delivers packages, magazines and newspapers. Owned by the media companies Schibsted, Amedia and Polaris. Sends up to three million packages in connection with Christmas shopping. A growing trend is the used market at this time of year. In the past, sales of used goods have had their peak season after the New Year and at the start of school. This may indicate that reuse is becoming more and more popular, also under the Christmas tree, says communications advisor Synne Haugsrønning Braa. According to Helthjem’s own data, over 99.9 percent of packages reach the recipient as they should. PostNord operates mainly in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.
