paper considers two types of costs. There are costs of services which are associated with increasing or decreasing system
capacity. Additional costs are the costs of rejected customers which are costs associated with deciding customers to leave
the post office. Aim of this article to indicate the methodology of costs allocation of queuing system of post office and display
the costs calculation method of rejected customers. Primary research using the questionnaire and the simulation method
proved to be an appropriate tool in this analysis. The results of this paper show the need to take into account the substitutability
of the individual services provided at the post office and the repeated arrival of the rejected customer. In the case
that a rejected customer requests a service provided also by other postal operators, the post office can deal with loss of customer.
