Chronopost International, a member of the La Poste
group, provides express
shipping
and delivery
service both domestically (in France
) and international
ly.
Domestic services comprise mostly next-day services, with some variation depending on the exact delivery locations, for packages and documents weighing up to 30 kilogram
s (66 lb
).
International services vary much more by location, due to the increased distance between origin and destination and lack of a substantial distribution system at the destination. As is the case with domestic shipments, most services provide delivery for items weighing no more than 30 kg.
The Chrono Mission product line, available for both domestic and international shipments, provides for the delivery of items weighing up to 1.4 tonne
s (3080 lb) and up to 14 m3 (490 ft³) in size.
The website Amazon.fr
uses Chronopost exclusively for delivery to international addresses.
For some of the delivery of packages in the United States, Chronopost express packages are delivered by FedEx
as International Priority.
