Chronopost enhances international express and B2C pick-up services
Chronopost has improved its international shipping service by broadening its product features and is offering earlier collection times at retail locations for domestic B2C shipments.
Chronopost has expanded its “Prêt-à-Expédier” product, which since March has provided next-day delivery before 13:00 within France and international delivery of envelopes up to 500g. Customers can now also ship bubble envelopes of up to 2 kg and small boxes of up to 6 kg to 230 countries and regions worldwide. Chronopost has split international destinations into two zones: EU and Rest of World. Customers can buy the packaging and ship their goods from Chronopost agencies and post offices for rates starting at EUR 36.79.
Separately, French B2C customers can now collect their parcels half a day earlier from the 3,000 Chrono Relais service points across the country. Shipments are available for pick-up the next day before 13:00 compared to the previous option of before 17.00.
The new delivery times enable customers to pick up their parcels during the lunch break at the nearest kiosk from their home or workplace, Chronopost pointed out.
This new delivery option will allow Chronopost to continue establishing partnerships with e-businesses but also target new markets in industry, banking or even maintenance sectors by offering value-added services such as product exchange.
