What DPD France does

DPD France is the French operating subsidiary of GeoPost, the express-parcel arm of La Poste's DPDgroup, headquartered in Issy-les-Moulineaux with 2,871 employees and a network of 35+ agency/site locations across France. The company provides domestic and international parcel delivery services to B2C consumers, e-commerce merchants, and B2B shippers, reaching 220+ countries through its parent's pan-European network. Its service portfolio spans home delivery with the Predict one-hour time-slot option, an out-of-home delivery network of 8,000+ Pickup relay points and DPD agencies, parcel lockers, and dedicated international shipping and returns-management solutions tailored to e-commerce exporters.

The underlying platform combines a physical last-mile infrastructure with a digital ecosystem: the myDPD mobile application for consumers (iOS and Android), the myDPD for Business portal for merchant account management and shipment tracking, and the Espace Expéditeurs shipper interface for label creation and bulk operations. Delivery operations are supported by route planning, real-time tracking, and the Predict ETA engine that underpins the one-hour window commitment. Integration capabilities and volume-pricing tiers indicate a B2B go-to-market focused on e-commerce platforms and mid-to-large merchants alongside direct consumer use.

DPD France generates revenue on a transaction-based model — per-parcel pricing for one-off shipments and consumers, combined with subscription and volume-discount tiers for B2B accounts on myDPD for Business. Complementary monetisation comes from Pickup point operations (B2C footfall into partner retailers), returns management services for e-commerce merchants, and value-added international shipping via the DPDgroup network. Operational credibility is reinforced by six consecutive Service Client de l'Année designations and an EcoVadis Platinum sustainability rating in 2025.

Direct peers

• Mondial Relay: Pickup-point parcel delivery specialist (part of InPost) with an extensive French relay network for e-commerce parcels. Direct competitor to DPD France's out-of-home offering and a frequent alternative in e-commerce checkout.
• Colissimo (La Poste): The French national postal operator's parcel arm and historically dominant B2C parcel delivery service in France, with nationwide home delivery and pickup point network. Most direct competitor to DPD France across enterprise shippers and consumer recipients.
• Relais Colis (PICKUP / ex-LP Logistique): France-focused pickup-point parcel delivery network serving e-commerce shippers with a relay/shop model comparable to DPD's Pickup network. Direct competitor in the OOH e-commerce segment.
• DHL Express France: French operation of DHL Group's express parcel and cross-border business, competing for time-sensitive international B2B shipments and premium e-commerce volumes. Comparable on cross-border enterprise shipping and time-definite service tiers.
• GLS France: French arm of GLS Group (Europe-wide parcel network), offering B2B parcel delivery and B2C services with a comparable Pickup/Shop network. Directly comparable on cross-border enterprise shipping and pickup-point strategy.
• Chronopost: Express parcel subsidiary of La Poste Group, focused on time-sensitive B2B and B2C deliveries across France and internationally. Closely comparable offering to DPD France's Predict and express services, with overlapping e-commerce shipper accounts.

Broad incumbents

• FedEx France: Global integrator's French subsidiary offering express parcel and freight services. Competes with DPD France on international express and cross-border enterprise shipping.
• UPS France: US-headquartered global integrator with a French operation covering parcel, freight, and supply chain. Overlaps with DPD France on cross-border B2B shipping and e-commerce but operates a much broader portfolio.

Emerging players
