End with the package shipping: Laupheim post office closes soon!

In Laupheim, it will soon be said that the Post branch in the Rewe market on Biberacher Strasse will score its doors on December 31, 2023. The decision by the Rewe managing director Michael Birnbreier to end the collaboration with Deutsche Post results from organizational challenges and the desire to concentrate entirely on the food trade, as he explained in an interview. This closure is not only a loss for customers, but also for the employees who were regularly faced with problems such as waiting times and insults, says Birnbreier. Since September 2023, the banking service has also been discontinued in the branch, which underlines the tendency towards closure, as reports.

Alternative shipping options in the area

However, the Laupheimers still have options for sending packages and letters. There are two other post office available in the city: one in the Rose bakery and one in Kaufland on Ulmer Strasse. In addition, there are numerous parcel shops and packing stations of Deutsche Post, which, according to post-press spokesman Dieter Nawrath, will continue to maintain the service for customers. Deutsche Post even plans to win new cooperation partners in retail in the future in order to expand the network of shipping options. Despite these challenges, Nawrath confirms that Swiss Post does not withdraw from rural areas and sees cooperation with retail as a success.
