Denmark scraps letters: Postal service will stop delivering mail

Denmark will end all national letter delivery at the end of December, marking a major shift in postal services.
Post boxes will be removed from public spaces and put on display in museums as part of the change.
From now on, only parcel deliveries will continue, as the operator pivots toward parcel logistics.
Stamps bought in 2024 or this year can be refunded for a limited period in 2026.
The shift mirrors a global trend of shrinking mail volumes and financial pressure on postal services.
Private providers may handle any remaining mail needs as the market opens post-change.
PostNord Denmark's leadership cited the plan as a move toward long-term viability in parcel logistics.
The decision followed a drop of more than 90 percent in letter volumes since the century's start.
The country will refund stamps bought in 2024 or this year for a limited period in 2026.
Denmark's move is part of adapting to online retail growth and the need for faster parcel delivery.
