With thanks

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Mail order products are often delivered to a local store rather than to the customer's home. In France, dry cleaning establishments often serve as pick-up and drop-off points.

Reference comments
Qu’est-ce qu’un point relais ?
Un point relais est un commerce de proximité qui complète son activité en assurant un service de dépôt et collecte de colis.
Les commerces proposant des plages d’ouverture très étendues et une large palette de services comme les débitant de tabac, les marchands de journaux, les stations services ou les superettes sont les plus adaptés. Cette activité leur permet de générer un trafic additionnel dans leur boutique et de percevoir un complément de revenu sous la forme d’une redevance par colis.
