It Would be Sad to See it Go

For me, I would be sad to see the letters go. I like getting post even if it's junk. I do miss the days of writing letters. Do you? Denmark is ending the posting of mail now. Would you like to see that happen in your place?
PostNord blames sharply falling demand - will other post firms around the world follow suit?

Mostly, we just get junk mail and a few bills a month. I wouldn't miss them. Used to, I had lively, ongoing back and forth letters with several family members but all of that is text messages now with the few family members who are left. The US should probably end the postal system here, too, and save the money.

Just think of all the lovely decorative mail boxes just sitting there empty.

@RebeccasFarm Our city pulled all of them except for two right in back of the Post Office years and years ago. So did most small towns around us.

I think it would be odd and take a lot of getting used to it. I get mainly junk mail and bills, but do perfer the paper statement bills vs. paperless. To easy to forget about paperless!!

I remember writing many a letter when I was young. My BFF moved and so we would write long letters to one another. Others down through the years too. It's sad, but most changes are for a while.

I feel like it is almost done now here in Canada. Our crown corporation, Canada Post, has been on strike twice since last November. They are 'working' now but no one considers them reliable.

I know of people who only get communication by mail or phone calls at a public phone. No private phones, no texts, no internet, no e mail. I hope the mail continues to be an option.

That's amazing that letter delivers are ceasing in Denmark. People really need to be internet and/or phone savvy these days.

It would be sad except for the junk mail I receive. I do wonder how they would substitute important mail such as car registration and licenses. Online safety might be an issue. And having to go to DMV in person and wait on a line would be a hassle.

That is sad. I like writing letters but not now when emails are fast way to communicate. I don't think it will end here in India because most of the government communication is still being done through the post. So it won't end here.
