    Stop using your own personal experiences to talk for an entire nation of people, I send my sister postcards all the time and even buy specific stamps for them.

      The mail volume is decreasing quite quickly though. Letter volume has decreased by 65% since 2010 and most of those letters are probably not from private individuals.

      The national postal company recently decided to only empty postal boxes every other weekday instead of every weekday to the boxes often being empty.

      Before that they also decided to only deliver mail every other weekday instead of every weekday. First class parcels are still delivered every weekday.

      Sending letters is uncommon so I’m just surprised that there is a black market for stamps.
