A parcel to drop off, a parcel to collect, keys to hand to a tenant: three self-service points share the room with the machines. The key box is fitted outside, so it stays reachable even when the launderette is closed.
The new-generation Mondial Relay locker. Send and collect (Vinted, online shopping).
Available Every day, 6am to 11pm
A smart locker for DHL, UPS, GLS and Relais Colis parcels. Collect your orders or send your returns, on your own.
Available Every day, 6am to 11pm
Ideal for Airbnb and Booking lets. The unit is outside, so it is open around the clock, every day.
Available 24 hours a day, every day (outside)
And for Relais Pickup
Colissimo and Chronopost go through the Relais Pickup point at the King Vita bakery, 140 rue de Saussure, three steps from the launderette door. Open Monday to Saturday, 9am to 9pm, and Sunday, 2pm to 9pm.
Coming by car or on two wheels
Rue de Saussure and the streets around it have plenty of parking spaces, and there is almost always one a few metres from the door, even with a boot full of washing. On two wheels it is simpler still: you pull up right outside the launderette, just long enough to drop off or collect your bag.
It is the service automated launderettes do not have: someone at the other end who knows the room and can act on it.
WhatsApp or FaceTime, from the launderette, no appointment.
The machine, the terminal, the message on the screen.
The machine or the terminal, while we are talking.
The cycle restarts, two minutes later as a rule.
I answer during opening hours, and often well into the evening. If the door has closed behind you with your washing still inside, I can open it remotely.
Parcels, keys, drop-offs: what people ask me about everything that is not laundry.
Yes. This is a good deal more than a launderette: 📦
You can drop off and collect parcels right here, in the Mondial Relay lockers. 📦
The “no label” service lets you send a parcel without printing a label beforehand.
Simple, and it works. ✅
Parcel Pending is the smart parcel locker at the back of the launderette. 📦
For deliveries, it takes:
There is a printer built in, so no need to print a label at home.
Yes, but only with two carriers: ⚠️
For those two the locker prints the label on the spot, so there is nothing to prepare.
The other carriers (DHL, GLS, Joybuy) are for deliveries only. There is no point coming in with a DHL return, it will be refused.
For Mondial Relay sending, use the locker beside it, with the “no label” service. And for Relais Pickup (Colissimo, Chronopost), it is the King Vita bakery next door, at 140 rue de Saussure. 🥐
No, and that is deliberate. ☕
The King Vita bakery is three steps from the door, at 140 rue de Saussure: coffee inside or on the terrace, pastries, sandwiches. It beats a vending-machine cup, and you can still see the launderette from the tables.
It is open Monday to Saturday, 9am to 9pm, and Sunday, 2pm to 9pm.
Inside the launderette there are two comfortable chairs and a big folding table if you would rather stay put. 🪑
Keycafé is a key-safe unit reachable 24/7, fitted on the outside of the launderette. 🔑
Ideal for:
Available at any hour, even when the launderette is closed. 🕐
