ColiPoste launches e-stamping for parcels (FRA)

Coliposte, La Poste’s parcel branch, launched a new stamping method for its parcel product “Colissimo” by introducing e-stamping via Internet to private customers.

The customer can fill in his shipping bill and indicate the weight, destination and shipping method of his parcel before paying with a credit card. After that the customer can print the bill on a A4 sheet, one part of which will be attached to the package and the other one stamped by the dispatching clerk.

The online stamping of the parcels that is available at the same price as stamping of a classical parcel from a post office does not generate any extra costs for the customer. Currently available and recommended for domestic shipments, the e-stamping service will also be available for international shipments and the French overseas departments in a few months, ColiPoste said in a statement.

Parcel flows among private customers, boosted by the growing number of online retailers, have grown like never before in recent years, the company pointed out. ColiPoste has already adapted to this trend by simplifying the tracking and delivery of the shipments, especially with its service “ e-como” which enables the customer to trace the route of his shipment and “Cityssimo”, its 24/7 delivery service.

Online stamping saves time and thus meets the needs of private customers whose number is increasing rapidly when it comes to selling or exchanging their belongings online. ColiPoste handles one million shipments every day and is registering an annual 10 pct increase in its C2C operations which is generated by the boom of retail sites among private customers.

Once the parcel is stamped, the customer can thus ship his parcel in a quicker way from the post office or numerous express counters set up since 2006. In addition, the software of the clerks has been adapted in a way to back up the transaction.
