Investigator Britt Bohlin has submitted his report to the current government and proposes that the mail should be distributed every three days instead of every second, as it was changed to last year.
Bohlin says the proposal will make Sweden the country in the Nordics with the “best and cheapest” postal service, compared to neighboring countries Denmark and Norway where postage is more expensive and mail delivery slower.
The proposal is expected to enter into force on 1 July 2024 .

The change that mail delivery should take place every other day instead of every day was part of these efforts.
