The aim of this paper is to design a methodological procedure for determining the costs of companies in the process of travelling the last mile in the context of changing the business model. At present, traditional services such as delivery by post or by courier to a particular consumer’s place of residence are still used to deliver consignments to consumers. In recent years, however, new delivery methods have begun to be used, such as ParcelShops, lockers located at specific locations, or dispensing points where the consumer comes to pick up the shipment. In order for each of these methods of delivering goods to consumers to work as efficiently as possible, it is necessary to incur certain costs. The results of this paper contain a mathematical relationship for calculating the total costs that a postal company has to incur in order to deliver goods to consumers within the last mile using the available delivery options.
