Contexto cultural
Finns love parcel lockers (pakettiautomaatti). It is common to have a 'favorite' locker at your local grocery store. The 'Posti' app is on almost every Finn's phone. The phrase is often triggered by a notification from this app. Picking up a package is a valid reason to decline a social invitation or leave early without being considered rude. In winter, 'going to get a package' is a common reason to brave the cold and get some light exercise.
Use 'Oon' for 'Olen'
In casual conversation, always use 'Oon menossa...' to sound more like a local.
