What is happening in the supply chain

Chronopost (the express parcel subsidiary of Geopost / Groupe La Poste) moves time-definite Chrono 10, Chrono 13, Chrono 18, and Chrono Relais shipments through its main French hubs in Chilly-Mazarin, Roissy CDG, Corbas (Lyon), and Jonage before reaching one of 100+ local French agencies (`Agence Chronopost`). When the morning driver scans the parcel onto their delivery round (`Tri effectué dans l'agence de distribution` → `Envoi en cours de livraison`), Chronopost Predict sends an SMS/email with a 1-hour live tracking window.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a PIN code (`code confidentiel`) to receive my Chronopost package?
Yes—for high-value electronics and marketplace orders, Chronopost sends a 6-digit security code by SMS and email on the morning of delivery that the driver must enter on their terminal.
What happens if I am absent when Chronopost attempts delivery?
Unless you reprogrammed delivery via Chronopost Predict beforehand, the driver usually deposits the parcel at the nearest Chronopost Pickup Point Relais or Pickup Station locker for collection with ID.
