The same high delivery quality

Delivery quality achieved a very good score of 91 points again this year. This is the eleventh time in a row that the score has exceeded 90 points.
Customer satisfaction surveys conducted for nearly 20 years
To obtain a Group-wide and representative picture of customer satisfaction, Swiss Post has had annual surveys of around 23.000 private and business customers conducted by an independent research institute for the past 19 years.
The information collected includes customer views both on satisfaction with Swiss Post in general and on specific topics such as the range of products and services, customer contact, advice, prices, problem solving and communication.
The annual survey allows Swiss Post to obtain feedback from customers on the quality of its services and to improve continually. The results are used as the basis for defining measures to place an even greater focus on customer requirements in the future.
