AU is switching from priority post (A) to economy post(B) due to price increases

Due to price increases at Post Danmark, as a general rule, all letters will now be sent by economy post (B post) starting on January 1 2016.

Currently, letters sent from AU are sent by priority post (A post) as a general rule. However, this will change on 1 January 2016, after which letters will be sent by economy post (B post). This is due to the fact that Post Danmark has announced significant increases in postal rates that will take effect on 1 January 2016.

Aside from the difference in price, the only difference between priority post and economy post is that priority post is delivered on the following business day, whereas economy post is delivered no later than four days after it is sent. 

AU’s internal mail service handles franking of all letters. If it is absolutely necessary that your letter be delivered the day after it is sent, it must be sent by priority post. To indicate that your letter should be sent by priority post, write the letter ‘A’ at the top centre of the front of the envelope, and Internal Mail will take care of the rest.
