In a recent study, the Universal Postal Union compared postal companies in 170 countries in terms of reliability, reach, relevance, and resilience. And although there are often complaints in Germany about rising postage costs and misdelivered packages, Deutsche Post performed well. As the graphic shows, the mail and parcel carrier landed in third place in the international ranking with almost 91 out of a possible 100 points – an improvement of two places compared to the previous year. Swiss letter writers, therefore, must be absolutely delighted: their postal service secured the full 100 points.

The Universal Postal Union still regulates international cooperation among postal authorities and the international framework for cross-border postal traffic. The study incorporated data from more than 3 billion items as well as survey data.

For a recent study, the Universal Postal Union compared the postal operators of 170 countries in terms of reliability, reach, relevance, and resilience. And although there is often grumbling in this country about rising postage costs and wrongly delivered parcels, Deutsche Post does well. As the chart shows, the letter and parcel delivery company came in third in the international ranking with just under 91 out of a possible 100 points – an improvement of two places over the previous year. The Swiss letter writers must, therefore, be hopelessly happy: Your mail secures the full 100 points.

To this day, the Universal Postal Union regulates international cooperation between postal authorities and the international framework for cross-border mail. The study included data from more than 3 billion mailings and survey data.
