PostNord, Denmark's state-run postal service, has announced a significant change: as of December 30, 2025, it will stop letter deliveries. This decision is accompanied by a new refund policy for unused postage stamps, specifically for those not used in 2024 and 2025. From January 2 to June 30, 2026, collectors will be able to claim refunds for these stamps, addressing concerns about having invalid postage as Denmark transitions away from traditional mail.
The last day for sending basic mail in Denmark will be December 18, 2025, which will also mark the end of stamp sales. As a farewell to the long-standing postal practice, PostNord released a special souvenir sheet featuring reproductions of Denmark's first stamps from 1851, encapsulating the end of an era in Denmark's postal history.
This legislative shift stems from the January 1, 2024 Postal Act, which dismantles the country's universal postal service, allowing PostNord to concentrate on parcel delivery. Consequently, the postal network has already begun decommissioning its extensive mailbox infrastructure, signalling a drastic change in postal services. Collectors are encouraged to adapt to this new landscape and watch for further details on refunds and upcoming changes.
