The Post Office
Post Offices are integrated in various shops; grocery stores, kiosks, gasstations etc. The opening hours therefore differ according to the specific store. Generally the opening hours are very generous. Look for the blue postal sign.
Stamps are available for sale at Post Offices, in some shops and most
newsstands.
There are two different types of mailboxes. The blue box
is for local deliveries only (in Skåne, for post codes beginning with
2), and the yellow box for national and international deliveries.
