Never forget who ruined the beautifully working Swedish postal service. Maud Olofsson screwed us over by taking on one of the worst deals in history. The Danish must have laughed their asses off when they offloaded their failing postal service onto the Swedish people.
I’m sure Denmark has hurt you greatly and will do so again, but the ownership is 60/40 between Sweden and Denmark. PostNord operates the same in Denmark as it does in Sweden.
I think you might be misunderstanding me. I’m not trying to attack the danish people in any way.
What I’m trying to say is this.
- Sweden had a great postal service and Denmark not so much
- A incompetent Swedish politician got us into a crap deal
- Now both Sweden and Denmark has crappy postal service
- And just as you point out, Sweden is now stuck paying for 60% percent of this clusterfuck while Denmark only pays for 40%.
No wonder the Danish people often is considered some of the happiest in the world.
I’m also trying to remind people that things like this is what happens when you elect politicians that don’t have the peoples interests in mind. And looking at the current people in charge such a reminder is unfortunately highly relevant.
Post Danmark actually wasn’t that bad. It was a bit old school, but the prices were decent and the service was high quality. A year after the merger and absolutely everything was shit.
It’s a shame that Sweden had to lower their standards to the Danish level. PostNord gotten a lot worse in Sweden since the deal with Denmark
