Business/Commerce (general) / will call
English term or phrase: will call
In a form to order products on-line, there is a "will call" section.
what would be a usual way to say this in Canada?

Is there something shorter than "remise au destinataire"?

Explanation:
pour le Canada

"Will call refers to a method of delivery for (purchased) goods where the customer picks up the goods at the seller's place of business, primarily in North American commerce. It may also refer to the department within a business where goods are staged for customer pick up.

The word "call" is a shortened form of "call for", which means "to come and get", so "will call" literally means "(the customer) will call(come and get)(the goods)."[1] In a linguistic process similar to initial-stress derived nominalization, the first syllable of the noun phrase is usually stressed ("WILL call") rather than the second syllable in the verb phrase ("will CALL")."

"Cueillette écologique en personne

Si vous habitez près des bureaux du Canada et des États-Unis, vous pouvez choisir la cueillette écologique en personne comme méthode d'expédition. Les produits sont alors placés dans des sacs recyclables en tissu Arbonne plutôt que dans des boîtes, et ils peuvent être ramassés à l'un des points de cueillette des bureaux de Arbonne. "
