    This is an interesting nuance to me. I guess I assumed the delivery employees are agents of the delivery company, and therefore if the employees refuse to deliver an item it is the same thing as the delivery company refusing to deliver the item.

    Where do you think the legal boundary would be? Could the delivery company refuse to deliver an item for any reason? What if the delivery employee doesn’t like the religion, type of business, etc, of the package’s destination?

    Sure, I get the idea of union camaraderie and deep cultural integration. But, that doesn’t really answer the question…

    Can a delivery company refuse to deliver mail to any person or company due to personal beliefs?

    When the mail originates from the Swedish government, sent to a company, is the delivery company allowed to block delivery?

    If you remove Tesla from the story, and generalize the question, I still wonder how this can be legal?

    Putting the whole Tesla issue aside, can someone explain to me - a casual oberver - how it’s legal for a delivery company to Sweden to refuse to deliver to a particular customer?

    In a hypothetical example, let’s say they don’t like a particular shoe store. Can they just stop delivering mail to the shoe store?

    I’m not seeing how this could be legally reasonable, once it’s generalized to pertain to any given business. Could someone explain?

    I suppose this would be especially relevant if the mail comes from a government agency? I assume the Swedish Transport Agency is a government agency. I guess it would seem reasonable if only private parties were involved… but why should a private transport company be allowed to prevent delivery of mail sent by the Swedish government? (Again, pardon me if I misunderstand the situation.)
