Relay Point Partnership: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how e-commerce sellers can lower shipping costs for their customers by using pickup points through this partnership.
This partnership allows e-commerce sellers to offer a pickup point service to their customers.
Who it's for
This scheme is open to any e-commerce seller looking to manage their logistics more effectively. Whether you are running a small shop from your home or managing a larger online operation, you qualify to use this service to expand your shipping capabilities.
What you get
By participating in this partnership, you can provide your customers with the option to collect their items from a local "Point relais" (pickup point). This service is designed to help you provide lower shipping costs for customers who choose to pick up their parcels at these designated locations rather than having them sent directly to a home address.
What it costs you
There is no fixed contract or monthly subscription fee required to participate in this program. Instead, the cost is based on your actual usage; you will pay a fee per parcel sent through the service. This means your expenses scale directly with the number of shipments you process.
The catch to know
It is important to remember that while pickup points are a great way to save money, customer preferences vary. Many customers still prefer the convenience of home delivery. To ensure you do not lose sales, it is recommended that you offer both home delivery and the pickup point option to cater to different customer needs.
