Abstract

Change always brings challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic must be seen as an extraordinary situation that has demanded constant adaptation to new circumstances. This paper shows how the EU Member States have adopted different solutions to cope with such an extraordinary situation. This extraordinary situation forced all the market players, i.e., postal operators, courier operators, and postal regulatory authorities, to adjust to new challenges. These new challenges include, for example, the health protection of postal workers and couriers, processing increasing volumes of parcels from e-commerce, adjustments of last mile logistics, and safeguarding the Universal Postal Service (UPS).
