Price adjustments as of January 1, 2023

Dear customers,

however much we’d all like to hear the opposite, there’s no end in sight to the difficult economic situation that’s been with us for two years now. Quite the opposite, in fact. The effects of the COVID pandemic, the war in Ukraine and above all the exploding diesel, electricity and gas prices are pushing operating and transport costs to previously unimaginable heights. There’s also a tangible staff shortage in transport, for example, alongside absences due to COVID, requiring us to deploy expensive solutions to try to compensate and keep the quality of our services stable for you.

Sacrificing quality in the name of savings is simply not an option for us. As one of the world’s leading logistics providers we are keenly aware of our special responsibility. We’ve been paying fair wages, significantly higher than the minimum wage, for years now, earning us the loyalty of our highly qualified and skilled workforce. And we are sticking to our climate protection goals, continuing to invest in our infrastructure in order to cut carbon emissions across the value chain and to become a climate-neutral provider of mail and parcel services. We are also in no doubt that we can only be successful in the market, together with you as our customer, if our price-performance ratio remains attractive.

Yours Deutsche Post
