What are the criteria to become a Colis Privé Store pickup point?
As a retailer, you might be wondering if joining the Colis Privé Store pickup point network could help you attract new customers, grow your local business, or generate additional income through parcel delivery.
The answer depends on several specific criteria, particularly related to the location of your store. So, what factors are considered when selecting future Colis Privé Store pickup points?
- Geographical location: a strategic criterion
When you submit your store to become a pickup point, your request is evaluated based on your store’s location. The goal is to ensure a well-distributed network for efficient local delivery without overloading already covered areas.
Before submitting your request, it is advisable to check the map of existing pickup points around you. If several pickup points already exist in your area, adding a new one may be less of a priority. Conversely, an underserved area presents high potential for joining the delivery network.
- Optimal accessibility for customers
Stores that are well-located, visible from main roads, close to transport links, or easy to access are particularly sought after. Good accessibility improves the delivery experience and customer satisfaction—two essential factors for loyalty.
Wide opening hours are also an advantage: the more accessible your store, the more useful it will be as a parcel pickup point.
- Adequate space for receiving parcels
By joining the Colis Privé Store network, you agree to receive, temporarily store, and hand over parcels to customers. A secure space, even a modest one, is essential for efficient delivery management.
The provided digital tools allow computerized tracking of shipments, with complete traceability at every step. Receiving parcels, registering them, and handing them to the customer are simplified through an intuitive interface, letting you focus on what matters most: customer service.
- A growth opportunity for your business
Becoming a Colis Privé Store pickup point is not limited to parcel delivery. Your store is listed on an online map, visible to hundreds of customers daily when choosing a delivery method.
Each parcel pickup is an opportunity to:
- Increase foot traffic in your store

Additionally, you receive compensation for each parcel handled, making it a profitable supplementary activity with no marketing costs or changes to your product offerings.
