Edeka closes post office: Heikendorf is facing a parcel bottleneck!
A change in the postal service is looming in Heikendorf. From January 2026, the only remaining post office in town will be in a Rewe store. The Edeka partner branch, which has been a DHL partner since 2006, is closing its doors on Tobringer due to massive problems with increasing parcel numbers and insufficient commissions. This reports kn-online.de.
The decision to close was necessary because the number of packages has increased significantly since the corona pandemic. According to Dennis Thimm, authorized representative at Edeka Ristow, this leads to intolerable working conditions. Two to three containers are currently being picked up every day, but there is no longer enough space in the goods receiving department to handle the constantly growing number of packages. Similar difficulties can also be observed in the Edeka branch in Mönkeberg; the future of the DHL partner branch there remains uncertain.
New partner for parcel services
For the people of Heikendorf, the Rewe post office remains the only point of contact for their parcels. Opening hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Wednesday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. DHL is committed to working with new partner branches in Heikendorf and plans to offer a comprehensive range of services. Loud dhl.de There are a total of around 38,000 delivery points in Germany that make it easier to use parcel services.
Not only are these drop-off points convenient, they also offer flexible opening hours and friendly, knowledgeable service. Parcels can also be sent and received at packing stations that are accessible around the clock. This represents a valuable addition to the services offered by post offices, which now go far beyond just sending parcels.
A look into the future
After the closure of the Edeka DHL branch, there will be fewer options for parcel delivery in Heikendorf. Nevertheless, the packing station at Tobringer remains available to customers. The essential search for new solutions appears to be in the starting blocks as DHL is in discussions with potential new branch partners. These strategic considerations are crucial, especially considering that post offices are now used not only for shipping, but also for financial transactions and digital services.
