French translation:remise pour livraison aux points livraison/colis
Explanation:
This may refer to delivery to centralised drop-off points - i.e. delivery to petrol stations, etc (and even clothes alterations shops, as I discovered recently) that act as agents for the likes of La Redoute, Les 3 Suisses, etc.

Offer *alternative collection points*. You can solve the fulfilment and delivery problem of unattended deliveries by using *alternative ***drop-off*** schemes at post offices, garages, pubs and convenience stores*. Typically, Collectpoint has struck agreements with over 70 online shops enabling them to offer their customers alternative drop-off options, for a small fee. The company currently has some 3,200 retail drop off points in the UK which, claims Chief Executive, Jim Doyle, \"puts most of the population within one mile of a Collectpoint.\" Daniel Mitchell from The Source says: \"It\'s a godsend for us. It addresses a really big headache. We deal with over 1,000 claims a month and have to pick up faulty equipment as well as drop off replacements. People usually have to take time off work to wait in for the delivery from the courier but this system means they can pick up our deliveries in their own time.\". New auction bidding service AuctionAssist has struck a deal with the Post Office to allow its customers to drop off goods for auctioning in their local high street. This sort of convenience is growing, and if you\'re planning an ecommerce website, you should consider offering these flexible delivery alternatives.
