1 Check the size of Denmark. Then check the size of the United States. The area coverage alone makes the implementation a no go.

In the future, the postal company dao (Dansk Avis Omdeling A/S) will take over the delivery of regular letters throughout the country, as well as the shipping of letters abroad.

Although PostNord will discontinue letter delivery on January 1, 2026, it will still be possible to send regular letters with dao throughout the country. At the same time, dao will take over responsibility for letters to and from abroad.

dao will also ensure that registered mail and official deliveries can be sent throughout the country.
