Norwegians may lose mail delivery

Quick Summary:

Right in the middle of the busy Christmas card- and package rush comes news that Norwegians may no longer get any mail delivered to their mailboxes at home.

A government-appointed commission has concluded that it’s simply “no longer sustainable,” either for the state or the public.

Even though the price of a stamp for both domestic and international letters or cards has risen from around NOK 5 in 1990 to as much as NOK 37 (USD 3.40) today, postal revenues don’t cover the costs of delivery to residential addresses around the country.
