Cool video and idea on the mailing system. Looks to be in a country that is not the U.S., maybe European??? Anyway, a U.S. version would be pretty cool to see as well.

Looks like Denmark (the logo at the front of the Post Office is from Post Danmark).

I thought so too, thanks for the confirmation.

The authors contact page [1] mentions a Dutch mobile phone number, but the stamp [2] clearly shows Post Danmark was used in transport.

The address on [2] also shows Copenhagen (København).

People move around Europe a lot these days.

It is Denmark, very likely Copenhagen.

I am Danish and recognise things such as Danske Bank, in the beginning of the video, Post Danmark and so forth :)

Funnily enough, my first thought was that it must have been in the UK, but also because of the Danske Bank -- one of the largest banks here in Northern Ireland. Post Danmark gave it away though.

He drove on the right on the way to the post office, but I thought of the UK, too, before I noticed that :)

Definitely Denmark. Also Danish license plates on the cars, in addition to what has already been mentioned.

But US-style mailboxes in the progress indicator (bottom of video). Interesting how that iconography has spread, even though the reality outside the US is often a box on the outside of the house, or just a slot in the door.
