Approximately 15,000 private customers surveyed rated Swiss Post’s units very positively, with scores ranging from 74 to 88 points.

Wide acceptance of the “branch with partner” agency format

This year, 1,900 private customers and 1,360 business customers also answered a separate survey on the postal services “branch with partner” and “home delivery service”. The “branch with partner” service received 75 points for overall satisfaction. The customer-friendly opening times were particularly appreciated. Customers also described themselves as “satisfied” to “very satisfied” with accessibility, the execution of services and the care taken handling postal items. The home delivery service also obtained a high score of 78 points in terms of overall satisfaction.

The same high delivery quality

As part of a separate survey, Swiss Post also put questions on delivery quality to around 2,400 private recipient customers throughout Switzerland. Customers were asked for their views on correct, complete and undamaged deliveries, the conduct and appearance of delivery staff, and the management of P.O. Box facilities. 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.
