Well I should hope so! Who’s hanging onto letters more than 400 years past their postmark date?

    Because some people in Canada are suggesting that we eliminate the Canadian Postal Service as it is constantly running large deficits and has been on a slope of losing delivery business for many years now.

    the danish part of postnord is the reason the entire cooperation is losing money. let's hope this helps.

    Ahh yes of course, because you can't legally backdoor the mail?

    Another company (Dao) will deliver mail instead.

    This is really sad ... I still send letters, sometimes it's nice to get a post card or letter in the mail. 😔

    Announcing the decision earlier this year to stop delivering letters, PostNord, formed in 2009 in a merger of the Swedish and Danish postal services, said it would cut 1,500 jobs in Denmark and remove 1,500 red postboxes amid the “increasing digitalisation” of Danish society.

    I thought this was decided when the merger happened in 2009. This has been known in Sweden since right after the merger happened and it completely fucked our old postal service.

    Christmas cards aren't really a thing in Denmark. Like we don't ever get physical mail. Perhaps one letter once a month or something? Everything goes through our digital mail or email

    I always assumed one day the separate mail and parcel services would become one. In my mind letters would be delivered as a parcel, so driven to your door instead of a service that passes every door.

    Though another comment says in this case another company will be picking up the service.

    I recently had problems with my government ID login that could only be resolved by sending a physical letter.

    This is horrific.

    this makes no sense. you going to deliver a parcel but you can't be bothered to drop some letters at the same time?

    What about birthday, Christmas and Mother’s Day cards?

    They'll probably just have to be sent as a parcel in stead, using PostNord or one of the International carriers. It already costs about the same to send a parcel (up to 1 kg) as a letter, and service and shipping speed is infinitely better anyway.

    Well that's one way to counter spam mail.

    As someone who sends birthday cards, this would be quite annoying

    A postal service that doesn't post things as a service? What is the world coming in?

    All I get through post is junk mail.
