Denmark to End Letter Delivery After 400 Years

PostNord cites a 90% drop in letter volume since 2000 and will shift focus to parcel services, cutting 1,500 jobs.

PostNord, Denmark's national postal service, will stop delivering letters by the end of 2025 after centuries of service.
The decision comes as letter volumes have declined by 90% since 2000 due to the rise of digital communication.
Approximately 1,500 employees, or one-third of PostNord's workforce in Denmark, will lose their jobs as part of the restructuring.
PostNord will begin removing Denmark's 1,500 public mailboxes starting in June, signaling the shift away from traditional mail.
The private distributor DAO will take over remaining letter services in 2026, maintaining a free market for mail delivery in Denmark.
