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.
