Same in Finland. I believe under 15 Posti-operated dedicated post offices remain - just yesterday they closed their former HQ post office in the Post Building: https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/end_of_an_era_as_posti_exits_former_helsinki_head_office/11455654 https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/end_of_an_era_as_posti_ex...
There are 900 post offices and approx. 2000 parcel lockers (population 5.5M).
They have also taken steps due to the dramatically decreased amount of mail in the last decade (over 50% down since 2010 - this year yearly decrease has been 15-20% so far):
- Yearly price increases of letter mail (50g letter stamp is now at 1.75€).
- Slowed down the basic letter services (first class stamped letter went from 1 day to 4 days).
- Reduced delivery frequency (no mail delivery on Tuesdays if possible).
- Mail may now be delivered later during the day.
And of course large layoffs, which have probably resulted in a reduction of service quality - public complaints seem to have increased.
