Abstract

Courier companies deliver their services in a rapidly changing environment where technologies, methods and means of communication and customer requirements are changing. The aim of this article is to present selected aspects of the assessment of the quality of customer service logistics processes using examples of courier companies in the KEP industry (courier, express and parcel shipments) in Poland and around the world. Literature research has identified important factors influencing the quality of management of logistics processes in courier companies, in particular the management of customer service processes in Poland. The article presents the results of literature studies and juxtaposes the characteristics of customer service quality. The typology of courier customers and customer requirements are presented. On the basis of the research of selected courier companies, trends in their quality assessment are presented as a result of logistical customer service, technical, technological and organizational innovations
