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.

Qu’est-ce qu’un relais colis ?
Les relais colis sont des commerçants (pressings, boutiques de vêtements, stations service, artisans...) qui s’engagent à réceptionner et à vous remettre vos colis, sans aucun frais supplémentaire et sans obligation d’achat chez eux. Il y en a 3 500 en France métropolitaine. Ils sont souvent ouverts jusqu’à 20 heures et parfois le week-end. Pour rechercher le relais colis le plus proche de chez vous, indiquez le code postal ou le numéro de département. Les relais colis les plus proches vous seront proposés, avec les jours et horaires d’ouverture.

pick-up point (PUP)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_order
City Software was born in 1991 with the desire to find a smarter way for Australians to buy business and educational software. In the days when the reputation of mail order was terribly slow and usually selling inferior products, we pioneered and set the standard that many have copied today.
Our growth has enabled us to successfully acquire ISWH in 2001 and eStore in 2003, adding our hardware and consumables range. To serve our many customers who prefer to PICK UP their order, we have a showroom at the Mt Waverley (VIC) distribution centre. We also have a retail store in North Sydney, plus our latest addition, a new retail store and PICK-UP POINT in Melbourne city.
