According to Wikipedia the shared Swedish/Danish postal service is shared 60%/40% by the Swedish and Danish governments respectively, so im not sure how privatised it is really if it's completely owned by government.
"The owners of PostNord Group are the state of Sweden (60 percent) and the Ministry of Transport of Denmark (40 percent)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostNord
PostNord (in Sweden at least) is partially privatized. It's government owned and operates its own logistics network, but the customer facing side of it is privatized. Instead of dedicated post offices staffed by PostNord employees, you mail and pick up packages at partner businesses staffed by retail workers. In my experience these are usually gas stations, grocery stores and tobacco shops.
Fair enough, I was extrapolating from a comment from a Finn who indicated that they privatized their post and handed it over to PostNord
