In less than 30 years, Parcels Private has established itself as a key player in package delivery in France. Specialist in delivery to individuals, they offer a real cheaper alternative for home delivery but also in the relay.
Does this logo probably mean something to you? With more than 63 million packages delivered in 2020, Colis Privé is the transport partner of many large brands or pure players such as 3Suisses SFR, Leroy Merlin, Zalando, and especially Amazon.
A Major Asset: Letterbox Delivery
Colis Privé holds the ARCEP postal license, the French Postal and Electronic Communications Regulatory Authority, which gives it access to all letterboxes. It is the only private carrier to hold this license to date which gives it a major advantage, notably enabling it to significantly improve the delivery rate on the first pass and therefore reduce the time taken.
A Dense Network
Colis Privé relies on 5 national platforms, supported by a network of 110 agencies. This complete network makes it possible to offer reliable and rapid delivery solutions throughout the territory.
They also recently launched Colis Privé Store, a network of 3,500 merchants, including 1,000 in Île de France. The promise is simple: “85% of the population is within 10 minutes of a relay”.
Historically reserved for “big brands”, Colis Privé is now open to all professionals or e-merchants.
Colis Privé Store provides a deposit solution for the 1st kilometer, the packages are then sent by Colis Privé and delivery is either at home (a signature option is available) or at a relay.
