The network opens in Laval. Carriers and location hosts can talk to us now.
Out-of-home delivery · Québec
OutOfHome is an open network of smart parcel lockers and staffed pickup counters. Carriers deliver once, to a place that is ready to receive. People collect their parcel when it suits them.
First site: Laval, Québec.
Why out of home
01
A courier drops a whole batch at one locker bank or counter instead of stopping at every door on the street.
02
Lockers open around the clock wherever the site allows it. Counters receive during their opening hours. No missed-delivery slip, no second trip.
03
The parcel waits behind a door that opens only with the customer’s code, or behind a counter with a person who checks it.
For carriers
Route parcels to an OutOfHome point as the destination, or as the fallback after a missed attempt. Drop the batch, scan it in, and the delivery is done.
For location hosts
A locker bank stands against a wall in a lobby, a parking lot or a store entrance. A counter point is a business that hands parcels over the counter. Either way, people come to your door who were not coming before.
For stores and shoppers
Online stores can offer an OutOfHome point as a delivery choice, and shoppers drop their returns at the same places through ReturnStation, our returns service.
Two kinds of point
Best for apartment lobbies, transit, parking lots and store entrances.
Best for dépanneurs, pharmacies, print shops and hardware stores.
How it works
The carrier, or the shopper at checkout, picks an OutOfHome point as the destination.
The courier scans the parcel into a locker or hands it over the counter.
The customer receives a pickup code and the point’s address.
The customer opens the locker or shows the code. The carrier gets the pickup scan.
The network
We are opening the first sites close together in Laval and on the North Shore, so the network is useful where it begins instead of thin everywhere.

Any carrier, once we have agreed how parcels are handed over and tracked. It is an open network, not tied to one company. Use the form below to start that conversation.
They share the same points. OutOfHome is the network carriers and hosts work with. ReturnStation is the returns service shoppers see.
Counter points earn a fee for the parcels they handle. Locker sites are arranged case by case, depending on the space. Tell us about yours and we will walk you through it.
The first site is our MesColis counter in Laval. Smart lockers and more sites in Laval and on the North Shore come next.
