It is just a trick to make this official!
I hardly know anyone who receives mail (not registered) on Mondays.

I have nearly stopped using TNT post services; they deliver to the wrong address, or never at all very often. I don't think stopping delivery on Mondays will make any difference in the overall bad service.

I cannot rememeber the last time I got post on Monday. If this means keeping the price of stamps the same, I'm all for it!

The Monday postal delivery has already ceased to exist in our village, as far as I can tell.

With at least 80% of post arriving through the internet, who cares anyway?

Most of the physical post consists mainly of bills & legal stuff. If there was only a delivery on 2 weekdays, no one would care.

For the last 20 years, I never received post on a Monday anyway. If any post is that urgent, we have plenty of courier services, right?

I agree with all the above - we never have mail delivery on Monday's here in Wassenaar - keep the stamp prices down I say. They go up EVERY year!

Monday deliveries? Didn't know they existed. What next? Instead of delivering registered items to your door, postal workers will instead stand by your mail box writing out a form that advises you to go collect your item from the designated post office. Oh, wait. That's what happens already.

The biggest non-news story of the year!

On Mondays they deliver only private letters and cards. They never deliver bills, magazines and other stuff.
In any case this repeated story about the "pure" PostNL that is pushed by cheap competitors etc are PURE LIES. None else deliver letters and cards. So there is no competition. Who are these competitors. Only Sandd is alive with 10% of the market.
They wanted a private monopoly and they got it. All secure, full-time hobs disappeared. They are a monopoly, they give 15 hours / week contracts, they pay the lowest wage (cleaners receive more), and they are not satisfied. THEY WANT MORE.

I didn't even know that mail was supposed to be delivered on mondays! In the 3 years that I've been here I've never once gotten mail on a monday.

Canada Post has had its share of problems to be sure, but I've never heard so many complaints about the post as I have living here. I find it kind of hilarious that the post is reliable in a country that is 240 times the size of NL but PostNL can't seem to get their act together.

I'd rather they stopped the Saturday delivery. My experience is that all businesses and government correspondence is posted on a Friday, arriving on Saturday. Normally such correspondence is inflammatory and requires an incandescent phone call to their helplines, which are closed on the Weekends. This gives you the weekend to cool off before berating a minion of the organisation. I'd rather be able to berate the organisation immediately after receiving the correspondence.

There's a Monday post delivery? I haven't had one in yonks.

Monday post is items that have to be delivered on a monday, such as herstelpost (post that has to be forwarded to another address) or rouwbriefjes (letters to inform of the death of someone).
@Nikos competion like Sandd and Selekt deliver business mail, as well as advertisements at a ridiculously low cost by paying their workers per letter. Low cost = More customers, which are then stolen from PostNL which pays its workers a fair wage.
