When sending parcels, many people look for a convenient pick up point where they can drop off their packages without waiting at home for a courier collection.
Pick up points provide a flexible alternative to doorstep pickup, allowing senders to bring their parcels to designated locations such as courier partner outlets, retail collection points, parcel lockers, or service centres.
For individuals and businesses, understanding how pickup points work can help you choose a delivery method that fits your schedule, location, and shipping needs.
Through EasyParcel, users can compare courier services, choose available pickup or drop-off options, and access guides to help locate courier collection points across Singapore.

What Is a Pick Up Point?
A pick up point is a designated location where customers can send, collect, or drop off parcels as part of a courier delivery network.
Depending on the courier service, a pickup point may include:
- Courier service centres
- Retail partner outlets
- Parcel lockers
- Collection points
- Post offices
- POPStations or similar parcel collection networks
Instead of waiting for a courier driver to arrive, users can visit a nearby pickup point at their convenience.
