Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Digital age brings Denmark’s postal service to a historic end
If your business has shrunk to one-tenth and sees no chance of
recovery, what would you do? That was the situation that PostNord, a Nordic mail
and parcel delivery company jointly owned by the Swedish and Danish governments,
faced in Denmark, as correspondence and message deliveries have shifted from
paper to online in the last two decades. The postal company removed 1,500
mailboxes last year and delivered its last letters on December 30, closing over
400 years of conventional mail service. The company now focuses on delivering
parcels as online shopping keeps increasing. Even though almost all Danes are
digitally proficient, there are people, mainly older citizens, who still rely
on postal services. They may either use a collection service by a private
company at home or drop their letters off at kiosks in stores. If you travel to
Denmark and want to send a postcard, you need to look for a kiosk, not a mailbox.
Which country will follow suit?
