It allows you to choose freely the place where you want to be delivered:

The different delivery options are proposed to you when you finalize your order basket.

For Colissimo parcels delivered to the address of your choice, if the recipient of the parcel is absent at the designated address, a notice of passage and pending of the parcel is left in the mailbox of the recipient. This notice indicates the address of the post office or relay point where the recipient will be able to collect the parcel.
