Colis Colis collects lost orders, which are then sealed by kilo… but closed. The customer pays but doesn’t know what.
Lost orders are common. Buy any product by kilo too. The two things together… not really.
A Parcel Parcel was founded by Frenchmen Marc Colpart and Alexis Meideck, childhood friends. Your business is take advantage of unclaimed orders.
These orders became more and more frequent and began to “clog” the warehouses of postal and delivery companies.
They were then destroyed – but many are no longer destroyed.
This company, Colis Colis, started going to the “lost and found” at the post office (or just the lost ones, actually) and started to sell those lost orders.
The packages are sold by the kilo and are closed. Without announcing what is inside.
That is, the customer buys without knowing what they are buying. You pay but you don’t know what you’re paying for.
And it seems like there are a lot of people wanting to find out what’s inside a box. Or better yet: there are many people willing to pay to find out what’s inside a box.
It’s just that the business was growing in the original country, France, and now the company has settled in Portugal. It arrived two weeks ago at the Ubbo shopping center, in Amateur.
And, even before opening, there was already fila at the store door. They were hundreds of people waiting, reports .
People come in, look at all the packages (all the packages are closed, remember, and have no name or original address), they can’t open the package and take what they want. When leaving, weigh and pay.
Oh, and the price? 21.99 euros per kilo. Less than a kilo costs R$ 24.99whatever the price.
A stock out it was almost immediate. In five days, 13.5 tons of unclaimed orders were sold.
“25% of people leave happy with what they get, and another 15% to 20% enjoy the experience itself. The idea is for people to enjoy the experience and for it to be a moment of pleasure”, summarizes Marc Colpart.
Os CTT also sell unclaimed parcels, but only in three auctions per year. These auctions take place on the last Wednesdays of January, April and October.
