On 13 June 2024 the Bundestag passed a reform of the German postal law. Until then, at least 80 percent of the letters posted on a working day had to reach the recipient on the next working day. The reform sets the first binding target only for the third working day after posting, at 95 percent. By the fourth working day, 99 percent must have arrived. A report on t-online described the public mood. Most letters are no longer urgent, and for many people it no longer matters so much whether a letter arrives today or tomorrow. Hauptsache, er kommt irgendwann zuverlässig an. The main thing is that it arrives reliably at some point. In a YouGov survey of 2,577 people on 11 June, 50 percent supported this central point of the reform.
