Become a BPD Express drop-off point in Italy
An extra €150–400 a month for your store — no investment, no equipment.
You accept a box from a neighbour and photograph it in our app — a courier picks it up the next day. You earn €0.55 for every kilogram. No IT systems, no lease contracts, no buying stock.
For every kilogram accepted
€0.55
A 10 kg parcel — €5.50 for you. About one parcel a day — €154 a month, about three — €401.
We reply within 2 minutes during business hours. We’ll walk you through the terms and show you the app.
How much you’ll earn
€0.55 per kilogram. One rate for all partners.
We pay for the weight of every parcel that passes through your location. Parcels range from 1 to 31 kg — the figures below assume an average of 10 kg. Payouts once a month, by bank transfer or as agreed.

A location in an area where many people from the diaspora live: family parcels plus regular senders.
We bring the customers to you — with our own advertising.
We invest our own budget in advertising your location: Telegram, Instagram, diaspora bloggers, ads targeting your area of Milan, Bergamo or Brescia. Customers arrive already knowing the address, the rate and what they can send.
- What we do — ads targeting your area and a card for your location on the drop-off map
- What we don’t ask from you — no commissions, no entry fees, no marketing spend
- When we pay you — once a month, based on the kilograms actually accepted
Who this format fits
If people from the diaspora already come to you, your location is ready to accept parcels.
We need people their neighbourhood trusts — the places the diaspora already visits as “their own”. Warehousing and logistics are on our side.
- 01 Perfect fit
Russian / Ukrainian grocery store
The audience is already yours. The same people who buy buckwheat and salami send parcels to their parents — and they’d rather do it at a place that feels like “their own”.
- 02 Perfect fit
CIS travel agency / visa centre
A steady flow of clients from Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus. Document parcels, sending things to relatives — exactly your clientele.
- 03 Great fit
Beauty salon with Russian-speaking staff
Loyal regulars and a trusting atmosphere. A “send mum a parcel while you’re in for a manicure” service is a natural extension.
- 04 Great fit
Café, restaurant or deli with Russian cuisine
A meeting point for the diaspora. If you have a dining room and a counter — a box can easily sit behind the till until the morning courier.
- 05 Good fit
Tabaccheria / edicola in an area where the diaspora lives
You already work with other brands’ parcel services and know how it works. With us there’s one rate for the customer and a courier every day.
- 06 Good fit
Copy centre, language school, private clinic
Someone is at reception 5+ hours a day and people come in regularly. New visitors from our advertising are a bonus.
Don’t see your format?
Describe your location on WhatsApp — within two messages we’ll tell you whether it’s a fit. We’re honest
about saying no when we can see there won’t be enough volume — your time shouldn’t be wasted.
What your day with BPD Express looks like
Five steps. 7 minutes per parcel, start to finish.
Logistics, rates and customs questions are on our side. Your job is to accept the box and photograph it.
- 01
The customer messages BPD Express on WhatsApp
Our manager calculates the price, agrees the day and gives the customer the address of the nearest drop-off point — yours.

They already know the weight, the price and what’s inside. No arguments at the counter. You accept the box and put it behind the till.
2 min - 03

Get paid at the end of the month

What you get from BPD Express
Everything you need to work — we provide, free.
We take care of everything that isn’t accepting a box at the counter. From you — space for boxes, a smartphone and knowledge of Russian or Ukrainian. We do the rest.
- 01 iOS / Android · online training
An app for photo check-in
Works on any smartphone. Scans the label, generates a tracking number and sends everything to our system. We teach you in 15 minutes.
- 02 Monday–Saturday
A courier every day
The courier comes every day within a time window agreed with you — even if there’s just one parcel.
- 03 From 1 kg · 10 CIS countries
One rate for the customer
The price in our calculator is the same one you quote at the counter. No arguments about “it’s cheaper at the other point”.
- 04 We pay for the traffic
Advertising for your neighbourhood — at our expense
Ads in Telegram and Instagram targeting your area, posts by local diaspora bloggers. The budget is ours.
- 05 When you join
Your location card on the drop-off map
Storefront photos, services, opening hours and WhatsApp contact. We’re launching the drop-off map on our website together with our first partners — your location will be on it from the first days.
- 06 We deliver the materials
BPD Express branding for your storefront
A door sticker, a poster, a “parcels to the CIS accepted here” sign — passers-by see straight away that they can send a parcel from you.
- 07 Replies ≤ 2 minutes
Our manager answers customer questions
If a customer asks “will it arrive?”, “what about customs?”, “how long will it take?” — you give them the BPD Express WhatsApp number. No promises you have to make yourself.
- 08 Claims department
We handle disputes
Loss, damage or delay is handled by our claims department. You don’t argue with the customer.
- 09 In the app, at any time
Clear reporting
The app shows how many parcels went through, how many kilograms, and how much you’ve earned this month.
What we need from you
Six simple conditions. No entry fee.
We’re not a franchise. We don’t sell rights, charge royalties or require a branded fit-out. We’re a postal operator that needs drop-off points run by people their neighbourhood knows.
- requirement 01 ~ 0.5 m³ of free space
-
Space for boxes until morning
A shelf, a corner behind the counter, a back room — anything dry and closed. Parcels leave the next morning; they don’t pile up for weeks.
- requirement 02 iOS 14+ / Android 9+
-
A smartphone with a camera and internet
Any modern phone. The app is lightweight and only needs the camera for photo check-in and a connection to send the data.
- requirement 03 Standard retail opening hours
-
Someone on site 5+ hours a day
Not necessarily the owner in person. What matters is that a customer can come during business hours and reliably find you open.
- requirement 04 Conversational level is enough
-
Basic Russian or Ukrainian
It doesn’t have to be perfect. Enough to understand “I’m sending this to my mum in Karaganda”, “it weighs about 12 kg”, “when will it be picked up”.
- requirement 05 BPD Express rulebook · 1 page
-
Willingness to follow the rulebook
No “own” prices, no prohibited items (we give you the list), no promises about transit times or customs. This protects both you and us.
- requirement 06 30 minutes on Zoom / WhatsApp
-
Willingness to do a short training
A 30-minute online call: we show you the app, explain what to do in unusual situations and answer your questions.
After you say yes
Your location live in a week. Advertising for your neighbourhood — from day one.
We invest our own budget so that customers head specifically to your location. Here’s what happens in the first week.
- 01 Day 1 · Zoom / WhatsApp
Set up in 30 minutes
A video call: we show you the app, walk through the rulebook and answer your questions. We deliver (or ship) the storefront materials — a sticker, a poster and a BPD Express-branded sign.
- 02 Day 1–2 · photos and listing
Your location card on the map
We take photos of the storefront and interior. We record your hours, services (parcel drop-off, documents, packing) and WhatsApp contact. Your location will appear on the drop-off map on our website — we’re launching it together with our first partners.
- 03 Day 2–7 · advertising
Advertising launch for your neighbourhood
Ads in Telegram and Instagram targeting your area, posts by local diaspora bloggers, mentions in community chats. The budget is ours. The audience learns there’s now a CIS parcel drop-off point in their neighbourhood.
- 04 Day 2 · first customer
Your first parcel within a day
Our manager sends you your first customer right after setup. The courier starts coming every morning.
FAQ for future partners
What people usually ask before the first call.
-
01 How much does it cost me to start?
Zero. No entry fees, no lump-sum payments, no mandatory equipment purchases. The app is free, we deliver the storefront materials, and training is a 30-minute Zoom call. You start earning from the first parcel. -
02 What if there are no parcels — am I losing money?
You can’t go into the red — you invest nothing upfront. From day one we run advertising for your neighbourhood at our own expense. We’re currently recruiting our first partners in Italy, and we’ll tell you honestly upfront if we don’t see enough volume in your area. -
03 Who is responsible if a parcel gets lost?
BPD Express. Parcels are insured, and we’ve been resolving disputed cases for 30 years. Your responsibility ends when the courier signs for the box at your counter. From there on — it’s us. -
04 What if a customer brings something prohibited (weapons, medication, sanctioned goods)?
We give you a short list of what we don’t accept (one A4 page). If in doubt — message our manager on WhatsApp and get an answer within a minute. You’re not a sanctions lawyer — declining lawfully is perfectly fine. -
05 What about taxes? Do I need to set up a new legal entity?
No, you operate through your existing business. We’ll go through the contract format and tax questions on the first call. -
06 How and how often do you pay?
Once a month, by bank transfer to your business account. By agreement we can pay more often or another way (we don’t use cash — everything is transparent). Every payout comes with a report: each parcel, its weight and the amount. -
07 Does the courier really come every day?
Yes, Monday to Saturday. We agree a 1–2-hour window with you (for example, 10:00–11:00). The courier is there in that window every day, even if there’s just one parcel. Sunday is a day off — parcels leave on Monday morning. -
08 My location already works with a competitor. Can I combine the two?
Yes. It just needs to be clear at the counter which parcel goes via BPD Express and which via the other service. The choice is yours. -
09 How long does it take BPD Express to decide?
One day. Message us on WhatsApp — you get a reply within 2 minutes. If the format fits — a 15-minute call the same day, training the next day, and you’re live.
Ready to become a drop-off point?
Message us today. Within a day you’re accepting your first parcel.
No long application forms and no week-long approvals. One WhatsApp conversation, one online training — and your location starts accepting parcels.
In your message, tell us: location type, city, district, opening hours. Within 5 minutes we’ll know whether the format fits.
