    So y’all have less services by default, and yet your side of the company is also losing the largest amounts of money? For helvede Mads 🫠 haha. Though on the bright side, I assume they’re still probably better than UPS or FedEx? If I have some home delivery from UPS/FedEx, I don’t even attempt to be at home… I already know that that their tracking will say “we tried to deliver you, but you weren’t home” despite them not even attempting to drive into my neighborhood.

      Spot on lol. Maybe them insisting on taking over every delivery sent from or even through Germany no matter who, what, and when explains some of the money hemorrhaging lol.

      If I had a sandwich for every time a package of mine has been delayed several days because PostNord insisted on taking over from a more competent international carrier at the southern border, I’d have lunch for a week, maybe two 🤦

        You mean packages that are originally DHL, or what other companies? DHL is a bit special, because they have many different divisions.

        Small parcels from DHL (Deutsche Post) are technically like Varubrev/Quickbreve/whatever name you have there. DHL in that case is exactly like PostNord, USPS, Royal Mail, etc, where they’re simply Germany’s national mailing division. PostNord in that case is following UPU’s rules about “parcel post”, and in return PostNord gets what’s known as remuneration (compensation) for the transport within Denmark.

        But if PostNord DK is taking over DHL Freight or DHL Express deliveries…? That sounds really messed up in that case. Interesting how much they differ despite being in the same group.
