Payre is out to create “the post office of the 21st century,” an automated distribution system that will allow customers of any European direct merchandiser or mail-order house to pick up — at selected gas stations or convenience stores — orders placed via the Internet, phone or television.

Kiala has delivered 50,000 parcels in Belgium since its launch in July.

The Vision Thing: "We are trying to build a service in line with the lifestyles of modern consumers."

Forward Spin: Payre expects private express mail firms to sign up for Kiala’s service and hopes for 6,000 pick-up points by 2003. them expand globally.
