In Denmark, postmen will no longer be postmen. This is because they will stop delivering letters and postcards and focus solely on parcels. 1500 people will be left without a job. It is the first European country to adopt such a measure.
Traditional mail is about to come to an end in Denmark.
As of January 1, 2026, a service with 401 years.
“A PostNord will deliver its last letter in Denmark at the end of 2025 and, from 2026, will concentrate its activity on a single central service: parcels”, announced the company, in .
“Our goal is to become Danes’ preferred parcel courier. We want to be the best where Danes really need us — in orders“, he highlighted.
Denmark is the first European country to adopt such a measure, which will involve the elimination of 1500 jobs.
Started in that country in 1624, the simple and noble act of delivering letters began to be entirely replaced by new technological tools.
The letters will now go to email. Postcards are sent via Facebook. Postmen are left without jobs.
This decision by PostNord was explained by the fact that, over the last 25 years, the volume of letters delivered fell by 90%.
In addition to this, in 2024, the postal market was opened to private users, which caused prices to rise and traditional mail sending to fall by 30%.
The historic post boxes will now be mere museum pieces.
