Destock Colis has been the talk of the town since it opened on January 3. Located in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, it offers a unique experience. Specializing in the sale of unclaimed parcels from giants like Amazon and carriers such as DHL, this store promises a most unpredictable shopping experience.
Abandoned parcel lottery near Paris
The concept, both simple and fascinating, invites customers to blindly select a parcel that catches their eye, weighing it to determine its price. The prices, ranging from €5 to €20 for parcels weighing less than 10 kilos, and €16 per kilo above that, offer an opportunity. Purchases are made without any prior disclosure of the parcel’s contents, turning the transaction into a veritable lottery.
The items on sale come from lost or unclaimed parcels, in line with the recent anti-waste law that came into force on January 1, 2022. Destock Colis is thus part of a recycling approach, offering customers the chance to unearth little treasures. The success of Destock Colis shows that consumers are willing to take an interest in products that would otherwise have been thrown away. By buying mystery parcels, customers often discover unexpected products at attractive prices. This approach attracts curious, bargain-seeking customers, while reducing waste.
Since its opening, Destock Colis has enjoyed considerable success. The warehouse, initially loaded with 3 tonnes of orphaned parcels, has seen more than half its stock adopted. On the strength of this success, the company plans to expand to other locations in the Paris region, offering temporary boutiques for flash sales.
