10 Apr 2026 Koninklijke PostNL B.V.ACM: €6.9m fine for PostNL over late letter delivery in 2023 €6.92m
In 2023 PostNL delivered only 89.48% of letters with a five-day delivery obligation under the universal postal service on time, instead of the statutory 95%. The ACM (Autoriteit Consument & Markt, Dutch competition and consumer authority) rejected the force majeure argument based on the tight labour market and imposed a fine of 6,923,000 EUR.
A company bearing a statutory service obligation must compensate for foreseeable staff shortages in good time; labour market conditions alone are not force majeure.
