Since the end of August, much of the parcel activity for private individuals has been centralized: in case of absence during delivery, users must therefore go to the ZI. A “temporary solution” according to the group.
The transit notice is formal: the parcel that the postman was unable to deliver to the absent user in Nîmes is in fact waiting for him “at the post office”, but in the one… in Grézan. Or in the middle of the industrial area which borders the road to Beaucaire.
Precisely at 161 rue Nicolas-Appert where the brand inaugurated its new “multi-flow platform” last summer with great fanfare. Since the end of August, most of the parcel activity for private individuals has also been centralized alongside the vast departmental sorting center.
From Maison Carrée: 30 ’round trip by car
Bigre, does not mind the old slogan, which invites you to “move with La Poste”. Move a bit far for once: about fifteen kilometers round trip from Maison Carrée and about half an hour by car (for those who have one) if the traffic conditions are not too bad, for 1.50 kg of CO2 carbon footprint side (source: Viamichelina). Strange service strategy, right?
“This is a temporary solution, this situation will be resolved in the coming weeks”, informs the Regional Communication Center, acknowledging that “customers complain”.
Without an interlocutor available this week and choosing to reply to Midi Libre “in writing”, La Poste supports the opening from Monday of two “Duo lockers” (device through which the user collects his parcels independently) in the offices of the Cadereau and the Spianata. Other solutions are being studied.
According to our information, La Poste originally planned to allow its interested customers in Nîmes to continue to collect their parcels at the Gambetta and Esplanade offices, but faced serious storage problems. Hence the return of these objects to Grézan. Far from the city center.
The six collection points of Nîmes
La Poste, “in the desire to satisfy all (its) customers”, claims “six collection points currently available throughout the city”.
The pro space of Nîmes Grézan, therefore, but which at the moment not only welcomes the authorities of the professionals as the parcels of private individuals are temporarily diverted there … The professionals can also collect their parcels at the offices of Saint-Césaire and Mas bees.
For private individuals, in case of absence at the time of delivery, some parcels sometimes also wait, nearby, at the Cadereau, Esplanade or Beausoleil offices.
