Denmark ends Postal Service...

[Fatrat]

Unreal...
, Denmark's state-run PostNord is ending traditional letter delivery by December 31, 2025, shifting entirely to parcel services due to a massive drop in letter volumes (over 90%) driven by digitalization, with another company (DAO) taking over the remaining letter needs, marking a major shift in postal services.
Key Details:

• End Date: PostNord delivered its last letter on December 30, 2025, with the full transition complete by the end of the year.
• Reason: A sustained decline in physical mail, with volumes plummeting by over 90% since 2000, making letter delivery unprofitable.
• New Focus: PostNord is pivoting to become a parcel-focused logistics company, expanding its infrastructure for e-commerce.
• New Letter Service: Dansk Avis Omdeling (DAO), a private logistics firm, will handle remaining letter delivery needs, especially for those exempt from digital mail.
• Impact: Iconic red mailboxes are being removed, and the service ends a 400-year tradition in Denmark.

Fuck you Jootube, the notation about Al Jazeera being funded by the Qatari government is unnecessary.

I always thought we could go down to two or three times a week service.

That's really possible...

I always thought we could go down to two or three times a week service.

For personal/residential service that makes some sense. For small medium size businesses who are constantly chasing accounts receivable via phone calls it would be a nightmare.
