Dutch postal service PostNL is facing competition for domestic deliveries for the first time in years.
Spotta, a company that delivers door-to-door advertising, has applied to the Dutch competition regulator ACM for a licence to deliver addressed mail.
CEO Yme Pastma has said his company plans to invest €20 million in expanding its business to compete with PostNL for advertising mail, but there are no plans to deliver letters or postcards.
He also called on economic affairs minister Dirk Beljaarts to relax the laws on deliveries to make it easier for new operators to enter the market.
PostNL has had a monopoly on the service since it took over its last competitor, Sandd, in 2019. The company also wants the rules to be relaxed so that it is no longer obliged to deliver letters within 24 hours.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
