# Alternative Package Delivery Services Pickme Lets Shoppers Have Orders Delivered to Neighbors By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2022-12-07 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickme References: [techcrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/07/with-pickme-your-neighbor-can-receive-your-packages-for-you/) & [mypickme](https://www.mypickme.com/)  Pickme is a delivery service solution for shoppers to use as a way to ensure they receive their order, even if they aren't at home to get it. The service works by having [packages dropped off](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doorbox-smart-delivery-box) to [pickup points nearby with neighbors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pigybak-ride) as a way to help shoppers ensure their order is received. This also eliminates the need to have an [order shipped to a store](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coop-and-royal-mail) and could make it easier for the shopper to retrieve their delivery. Pickme will reward neighbors who hold packages at a rate around less than €1 per package and offers shoppers the ability to pick up the order at a time that suits both parties. The service is being made available in France where individuals can set up how many packages they can fit in their home.
