Dressing rooms in post offices
This is an initiative currently in testing phase. Since the end of 2023, the post offices at Paris École Militaire and Paris Trinité have introduced dressing rooms. The reason? To allow people who come to pick up a package to try on their purchases on the spot and then immediately return them if they don't like them or if they don't fit.

A Temporary 6-Month Test
These fitting rooms are currently being tested in 8 French post offices for a period of 6 months. Their design? That of the famous yellow mailboxes, of course! And the cherry on top: this service is completely free. While some see it as a serious advantage, others believe it encourages online shopping at the expense of physical and local stores.
