Disparition Mondial Relay?

Good evening, there is no need for a code to deposit in a locker as you just need to scan the barcode. However, you do need a code received by email and/or SMS to retrieve!

Hello, I have a question please, I no longer see my usual Mondial Relay point. I wanted to make a purchase and it directed me 30 km from my home, whereas on Wednesday I was able to collect packages near my home as usual. I fiddled with the account settings, shipping, but nothing worked.

Can someone tell me the steps to follow? Thanks in advance, have a nice day.

Hello, maybe the local pickup point is overloaded and not accepting new packages. I’ve experienced this before.

Hello, thank you for your reply. It would seem I’m blocked from receiving and not from sending. Just yesterday, I dropped off packages and asked about it. They couldn’t really give me an answer… so now I can sell but can no longer buy. I’ve contacted Mondial Relay, and they’re directing me to Vinted. According to them, my Mondial Relay account listed on the app shows no issues… Now I’m waiting for a response to my email sent to Vinted… To be continued. Have a nice day :wink:

They’re shooting themselves in the foot with this short-term vision that could impact a loss of revenue. Lockers are really not popular, and rightly so: saturation, boxes not adapted to formats (deformed packages), uncertainty about the number of available lockers which can lead to multiple trips and for some, a good number of kilometers to travel for a random result, etc., etc… the list of disadvantages of this method is long :slightly_frowning_face:… that said, I live in a large urban area and 2 businesses in the neighborhood have removed these famous lockers. Has Vinted been touched by grace in deciding to make its users’ lives easier? :thinking: :joy:

Personally, I much prefer lockers. They have better operating hours. I’m happy to do without human interaction: no more guys asking for ‹ proof of ID â€ş when I pick up a package, and it’s easy to pick up a package for a friend. For shipping, I have better control over the very first handling step (that’s already something).

I agree with @Faune as a buyer. I much prefer Lockers to Relais points.
2 or 3 significant advantages:

  • No need to wait for opening hours or rush before closing time at the Relais point; you can go whenever you want or can.
  • No queues (especially when the Relais point prefers to take its time with its customers rather than quickly scanning your package).
  • Fast shipping (no queues either).
  • You can park right in front (which is convenient when you have multiple packages).
  • You can even ship on Sundays and public holidays.

Personally, I must have been lucky, but I only encountered ÂŤ The Full Âť problem once.

Personally, I really like the lockers for the same reasons that Faune mentioned, but when I have big days and have to send dozens of packages, I clearly prefer to go to a relay point.

For me, it’s the customer service at Leclerc, which is 3 minutes from my place. They know me and let me go ahead of the queue with their scanner. It’s fast, efficient, and I can move on to other tasks.

Besides, I have a locker just next to my home and one across from my work, which makes my life easier and doesn’t add any cost because I optimize my shipments with my work schedule.

I’ve never had a situation where the locker was full.

And to get back to the topic, I’ve never had this situation where I wasn’t offered a Mondial Relay drop-off point.
