I was just today writing about the importance of sending physical mail as a form of non-violent action compared to sending email. Paper mail implies that the sender cares more about the issue in question and also ensures a more personal touch with a greater literal presence if enough physical letters can be mailed. Ofcourse there is a trade off with it being less easy and requiring postage, it depends on the context. I guess it’s just no longer an option for people in Denmark.
It used to be day to day delivery and cheap.
But now, just before the closing, it would have cost me 4 euros to send a postcard to my neighbor, and she wouldn’t receive it until next week, maybe longer, maybe not at all. And then as the sender, you should also consider the additional weeks that people might take between checking their mailbox.
No wonder people don’t use it. It’s straight up unprofessional to communicate by letters here.
I did receive a letter last year, but I actually thought it was weird of them to use physical mail - as if they didn’t want me to have the information.
If was important, they certainly shouldn’t do it like that.

Our physical mail has been degraded a lot.

You can still send physical mail. The service is being taken over by a different company.
Oh ok, hmm I guess one could self deliver too.
