The Hague - Mail deliverers, sorters, truck drivers and parcel deliverers at PostNL turned in a top performance in the festive period. Mail deliverers have delivered millions of Christmas cards, also today, and almost 212.000 elderly persons throughout the Netherlands were made happy with a beautiful Christmas card thanks to the cooperation with the National Foundation for the Elderly (Dutch: Stichting Ouderenfonds).
