Online shoppers expect delivery that fits their schedule. Not everyone wants to wait at home for a courier or adjust their day around a delivery window. This is why out-of-home delivery continues to gain popularity across Europe.
Meest is expanding its network of pickup locations to meet this demand. The Meest Points network is one of the fastest-growing out-of-home delivery networks in Central and Eastern Europe, giving customers more flexibility and businesses more reliable delivery options.
Rapid Expansion of the Meest Points Network
Over the past years, Meest has invested heavily in building a strong out-of-home delivery infrastructure. The goal is to make parcel pickup easier and more accessible for customers.
The Czech Republic is currently one of the strongest markets in the network. Today, customers can collect their parcels from more than 2,700 Meest Points across the country. These locations include convenient neighborhood pickup spots where parcels can be collected during regular daily routines.
The expansion continues in Romania, where the network is now growing rapidly. Another thousand locations are being added in cooperation with Poşta Română this year, significantly increasing the availability of out-of-home delivery options for customers across the country. The number is predicted to rise in the near future. The steady expansion strengthens the overall Meest Points network and brings convenient pickup options closer to customers in underserved regions.
Why Out-of-Home Delivery Is Growing So Fast
Consumer expectations around delivery have changed. Many customers now prefer pickup points instead of traditional home delivery, and Meest matches the expectations.
Out-of-home delivery allows recipients to collect their parcels at a time that suits them. They don’t want to wait for a courier anymore and adjust the daily routine to match the delivery schedule. Customers can stop by a pickup point where their parcel is already waiting for them on the way home from work, while shopping, or during other daily errands.
For cities with busy lifestyles, out-of-home delivery is becoming a natural part of ecommerce logistics.
How Growing Network Growth Benefits Businesses
A larger pickup network improves delivery performance for businesses as well. When customers can choose a nearby pickup location, parcels are delivered on the first attempt without the risk of missed courier visits.
Out-of-home delivery by Meest also helps merchants keep delivery tariffs predictable. Delivering several parcels to one pickup location is more efficient than multiple home delivery attempts across different addresses.
A dense pickup network also increases conversion rates in online stores. Online purchases become accessible to a wider audience. When shoppers see a convenient pickup point close to their home or workplace, they are more likely to complete their purchase. Our recent integration with Poşta Română is to close the gap between online sellers and customers in rural areas who previously did not have an opportunity for a convenient out-of-home delivery.
For ecommerce sellers expanding internationally, a strong out-of-home network provides reliable local delivery infrastructure without the need to build their own last-mile operations.
Meest Builds the Future of Flexible Delivery
The expansion in the Czech Republic and Romania is part of a broader effort to strengthen Meest’s out-of-home delivery infrastructure across the region. The company continues to invest in the growth of the Meest Points network, making convenient parcel pickup available to more customers every year.
For ecommerce merchants, this growing network means better delivery coverage and more flexibility for their customers. For recipients, it means a simple way to receive parcels without adjusting their daily schedule.
Meest continues to expand its out-of-home network with one goal in mind: making parcel delivery easier, more convenient, and closer to customers.
