Denmark's postal service to stop delivering letters
Published On Mar 6, 2025, 5:55 AM
Denmark's postal service, PostNord, is set to end letter deliveries by the end of 2025 due to a significant decline in letter volumes—down 90% since 2000. The company will begin removing post boxes starting June, and approximately 1,500 employees may lose their jobs. This move reflects broader trends in Europe, with other postal services, like Germany's Deutsche Post, also cutting jobs. Digital communication has become dominant in Denmark, impacting traditional mail services, which PostNord will cease as they focus on parcel deliveries.

PostNord's shift away from letters to parcels could be seen as a strategic move to adapt to changing consumer behavior, but it may also signal continued challenges faced by postal services in Europe. This could lead to a negative business outlook for similar companies that are still heavily reliant on traditional mail services.
