Abstrakt
In the article the author tries to indicate the criteria distinguishing the postal service from the transport service in the context of the Postal Law Act 2012. The author notes that the Postal Law Act 2012 does not exclude the possibility of transporting postal items (with the exception of items of correspondence) with the omission of the Postal Law Act 2012 regime. The carrier may choose the type of contract concluded in connection with a clearance an item for displacement. In the author’s opinion, such regulation is inappropriate, as services concerning postal items (bearing the marking of an addressee and an address) should in each case be performed on the basis of a contract for the provision of postal services.
