Summary
PostNL is ditching next-day mail delivery for standard letters in the Netherlands, extending it to two days starting July 12th — a move driven by plummeting mail volume and rising costs. If you need it faster, a pricey priority service costs €3.95 per letter (up from €1.40). They’re even eyeing a three-day standard for regular mail next year. With letter volume down 70% over two decades and a €35 million loss last year, PostNL is slashing costs by potentially eliminating Saturday deliveries and reducing mailboxes. Parcels? Still mostly next-day — just not on Sundays or Mondays. Snail mail is slowing down, but your packages are still speedy.
