Chronopost express international solutions
Chronopost offers express international shipping service from France to the rest of the world through their “Chrono Express” service. This Chronopost express service can be used to deliver urgent parcels in Europe in 1-2 days and up to 6 days in the rest of the world. Chrono Express is an international shipping service that only allows parcels of up to 30 kg.
If you need to ship large or bulkier items, you can use our booking tool to get instant quotes for shipping worldwide.
Chronopost pick-up/drop-off points: what are they, and how do they work?
Chronopost local depots and pick-up points are shops or businesses where customers can ship or retrieve their parcels. Whenever shipping with Chronopost, you can choose to send the package to a pick-up point instead of receiving it at home. Another advantage is that Chronopost pick-up points allow customers to receive packages and not give a personal address.
If you decide to ship or send a package from a Chronopost pick-up or drop-off location, you will have to do so during their working hours, which sometimes include the weekends. Currently, there are about 17,500 Chronopost local depots and pick-up points available throughout metropolitan France. You can locate the closest pick-up point on the company’s webpage.

Frequently asked questions about Chronopost shipping services
Who delivers Chronopost in the UK?
Chronopost offers deliveries to the UK on their own website, but they do not deliver parcels themselves. Since Chronopost is a part of the DPD Group, your Chronopost UK delivery will be carried out by DPD. Read more about how deliveries with DPD work.
Does Chronopost deliver internationally?
Yes, Chronopost provides shipping services not only within France but also within the EU, to the UK and overseas. However, not all services are available for worldwide deliveries. See below the coverage of a few of Chronopost’s main delivery services:
- Chrono Express: Worldwide
- Chrono Classic: Europe
- Chrono Relais: France
- Chrono 13 & Chrono 10: France
How does the Chronopost Priority Express service work?
Chronopost Express is the service most used for international shipments, as they offer deliveries to 230 destinations worldwide. As happens with any international delivery, any shipment has to go through export control which means any parcel can be delayed during processing upon arrival in a new country.
How does the Chronopost tracking number work and where can I get it?
When shipping with a Chronopost service that offers tracking, you will receive the tracking number that can be used to follow the progress of your delivery. The Chronopost tracking number will come in the receipt if shipping from a local shop or via email/digital confirmation if booking the delivery online.
How can I check the status of my parcel with Chronopost?
To follow the transit of your shipment booked with Chronopost, you will need to insert the Chronopost tracking number on the tool provided on their webpage. Their tracking tool works with either the parcel tracking number or with the pick-up and delivery notification numbers.
What are Chronopost delivery days and times?
In general, Chronopost delivers parcels and envelopes from Monday to Friday from 8am to 10om. The only exception is the timed delivery service, such as Chrono 13, which guarantees the delivery will be performed until 1 pm.
Does Chronopost offer Saturday deliveries?
Yes, Chronopost offers Saturday deliveries when booking the service through their website or in person on physical shops. The Saturday service may not be available for all of Chronopost’s shipping services and it may also depend on availability at specific locations. The best service alternatives to get a parcel delivery on Saturday are the timed courier services such as the Chrono 13 for deliveries before 1pm or the Chrono 10 for deliveries before 10am.
Does Chronopost offer cargo or freight transport services?
Currently, Chronopost does not offer cargo or freight transport services, as the maximum parcel weight allowed is 30kg.
Are there any Chronopost storage facilities?
Currently, Chronopost does not offer storage facilities. If you need storage for your items, we can organise it for you; all you need to do is contact us and send your requirements. The storage service will be arranged in one of the warehouses provided by our vetted logistics partners.
Does Chronopost offer shipping insurance?
Most of Chronopost shipping services do not include insurance by default, but Chronopost offers shipping insurance through their additional service called “Ad Valorem insurance”. This extra insurance coverage is optional. Shippers can insure their goods for up to €5,000 per parcel, but a receipt for proof of value is required.
Can I send a package to the UK with Chronopost, even after Brexit?
Although Brexit has had a huge impact on logistics and shipping, it is still possible to ship with Chronopost to the UK after Brexit. As part of the DPD group, Chronopost has prepared itself to handle packages to and from the UK. Customers who want to ship packages to the UK with Chronopost during this time after Brexit now have to provide customs documents and may have to pay extra VAT or customs charges.
