History
The pick-up point delivery service was created on April 15, 1992.[3]
In 2018, having previously specialized in the delivery of small parcels (up to 30 kg), Mondial Relay launched a delivery service for packages weighing between 30 and 150 kg, which customers can pick up at dedicated collection points called 'drives'.[4]
In the 12 months up to March 2021 the company handled 140 million packages.[5][1] In 2021, Otto Group sold Mondial Relay for €565 million to InPost, a Polish package delivery company.[6] The new owners have continued to operate the service using the same name.
In 2024, Mondial Relay became an official partner and the official relay provider for the Tour de France starting flag.[7][8]
In 2025, due to the increased use of automated lockers, the company announced it is reducing its merchant partner network.[9]
