Overview
- PostNord completed its last letter rounds in Denmark on December 30, closing a centuries-long chapter of state letter delivery.
- The final letter was delivered to Copenhagen’s Enigma Museum, where it will be kept sealed as a time-capsule artifact.
- About 1,500 postal jobs are being cut and roughly 1,500 red street mailboxes have been removed, with many sold for charity amid heavy public interest.
- Paper correspondence must now be dropped at retail kiosks for collection and delivery by private carrier DAO, while PostNord focuses on parcels.
- Letter volumes have fallen more than 90% since 2000, and the change applies only in Denmark, with PostNord continuing normal letter service in Sweden.
