Denmark's state postal service calls time on letter deliveries
Published: 8/20/2025

Denmark's state postal service PostNord is ending letter deliveries due to a steep decline in letter volumes driven by digitalization. The shift away from physical mail has led to a workforce reduction as the company focuses on its profitable parcel business. This trend is mirrored across Europe and the US, with other postal services also facing job cuts and service reductions. Alternative private delivery firms like DAO are stepping in to fill the void in Denmark, but concerns remain about how elderly and rural populations will adapt to the changes in mail services.
