Letters and parcels in Denmark: postage in 2026

Short answer

Ordinary letters are sent with dao following PostNord's withdrawal from ordinary letter distribution at the end of 2025. Dao's official letter page lists DKK 23 for a domestic letter up to 100 g and DKK 46 up to 250 g. The listed international prices are DKK 46 and DKK 92. PostNord still delivers parcels.

Prices and rules were checked on 11 November 2026. Dao's table still carries a “2025” heading. These are therefore the prices published on the check date, rather than a separately confirmed 2026 tariff. Check the final official checkout price before paying.

Which operator handles the letter?

The Danish Civil Aviation and Railway Authority distinguishes ordinary letters from special services. Dao handles ordinary domestic and international letters and domestic registered letters. International registered letters still go through PostNord.

Ordinary dao letters can be placed in a red dao letterbox at a daoSHOP. Collection from the sender's address is a separate service carrying a fee. Old PostNord stamps do not count as dao postage.

PostNord's refund period for eligible unused stamps ended on 30 June 2026. That scheme had therefore expired by this article's check date.

Ordinary letter prices

Dao's published prices are:

Denmark, up to 100 g: DKK 23.

Denmark, 101-250 g: DKK 46.

Denmark PLUS, up to 100 g: DKK 36.

Denmark PLUS, 101-250 g: DKK 59.

International, up to 100 g: DKK 46.

International, 101-250 g: DKK 92.

Weigh the envelope with everything inside it. The weight bands do not mean any small object qualifies as a letter: check the service's content and format requirements too. Buy the appropriate letter code or postage for the destination.

Domestic parcel prices

PostNord's official direct-purchase tariff, effective from 4 May 2026, provides these examples:

Up to 1 kg: DKK 45 to a Service Point or DKK 60 with Home.

Up to 2 kg: DKK 56 to a Service Point or DKK 72 with Home.

Up to 5 kg: DKK 82 to a Service Point or DKK 97 with Home.

These prices include VAT. They illustrate one published tariff and are not an operator ranking or a price guarantee for every parcel. Service Point means delivery to a parcel shop; Home means delivery to a residential address. Size, optional services and applicable surcharges can change the total.

International parcels

There is no single price for every country. PostNord's official international parcel tariff lists DKK 214 for a Postpakke up to 1 kg in Europe 1, a group that includes Sweden and Germany. The listed price up to 5 kg in that group is DKK 311.

PostNord's current price index links to this sheet, although the PDF itself is dated 1 January 2026. Check the destination, weight and total at purchase. A country's tariff group does not itself determine whether customs information is required.

Describe the contents accurately and follow the carrier's documentation instructions. Use suitable packaging and retain the acceptance receipt. If an item must arrive before a deadline, check the current conditions of the selected service.
