Today, with the growth of e-commerce in Europe, end-consumers can simply go to their favourite webshop: Click, Buy, and Get their purchases. Because The Post Delivers for Europe.

Aurélien de Meaux,
Cheerz“Cheerz’ customers are very demanding. We do our best to print and send their photos as quickly as possible, and we ask postal operators to deliver fast. We look at the price of delivery, and we value the fact that the posts deliver to every corner in Europe. We look to sell outside of France because it makes good business sense – a market of 500 million is better than a market of 65 million inhabitants – but we have found it works better if we localise our service because, like it or not, consumers often prefer to buy in their own country.”
