Mail and shipments

Internal mail delivers and retrieves mail and shipments from the Department's mail room every day between 8-10 AM for shipping and postage.

For outgoing letters/packages that need to be sent off, please place them on the shelf “Intern Post ud”. If the packages, however, are too large to fit on this shelf, please place them on the floor below your pigeon hole. As a general rule, letters are sent as standard post - delivery time is 3 to 5 days.

Shipments to private addresses: Along with the recipient address, write either your mobile phone number or your e-mail address on a note taped to the letter/package..

NOTE: the Department does not pay for shipments from Centers and/or external grants (e.g. annual reports). 

The future of letters

As reported in the media, PostNord will cease letter delivery services in Denmark at the end of the year. Starting January 2026, this task will be taken over by DAO. PostNord will continue to handle parcel deliveries.

Internal mail service are currently working on the future solution for the university’s letter shipments and will provide further information later this year regarding how this change may affect handling at individual departments and units.

At present, the most likely scenario is that DAO will be used for domestic letter shipments, while PostNord will handle parcels both domestically and internationally. Letters sent abroad will be treated as parcels.
