Abstract
In logistics the key problem of last mile is how to deliver goods from distribution hub to end users in cities and
built-up areas. The paper deals with an issue of last mile delivery. The main objective of the paper is to analyse possible
solutions how to deliver consignments to end customers. To achieve the aim, we realized secondary research in which we
identified seven basic delivery models. Some of the delivery models are traditional, but there are delivery models which are
a matter of the near future. One of the most appropriate solutions how to enhance effectiveness in the process of last mile
delivery is to take advantages of every identified delivery model. Results of the research also imply a comparison of delivery
models.
