Summary/Abstract: Last mile logistics is considered the most expensive part of the supply chain. This is due to the high cost of deliveries related to the costs of organizing the transport of small parcels to individual customers, including the costs of fuel, vehicle operation and couriers. Considering the growing popularity of e-commerce among citizens, the growing problem of the last mile of deliveries should be analysed. The study focuses on the analysis of the literature on the subject, as well as on the existing or possible solutions to issues related to deliveries to the end customer. The main aim of the study is to present the proposed solutions to the last mile problem in the light of possible benefits for the development and improvement of urban logistics and the associated negative aspects. The indirect goal is to present solutions in Poland regarding the last section of the supply chain.
