Delivery · Bordeaux
Across the 28 municipalities of Bordeaux Métropole, our partner couriers load your goods at your warehouse in Mérignac, your central kitchen in Bègles or your shop in the city centre, and take them to your customers, from Les Chartrons to Saint-Michel, from Pessac to Lormont.
Inside the ring road, the ZFE low-emission zone applies day and night, and in the centre, bollards close off the pedestrian zone, where deliveries take place from 6am to 11am. When you book, we fit each handover into the hours when deliveries are allowed at your customer’s address; if one of those times cannot be met, we tell you there and then.
Delivering in the Bordeaux metropolitan area
In Bordeaux, vehicles may not stop or unload in the traffic lanes. Monday to Saturday, from 7am to 9am and from 4pm to 7pm, the courier unloads in the bays reserved for deliveries; when you book, we plan where they stop at each customer and at what time.
Retractable bollards close off the pedestrian zone of the city centre, Les Chartrons and Bordeaux Sud, as far as Saint-Michel and Sainte-Croix. From 6am to 11am, delivery vehicles may enter freely; we place your customer’s handover in that window as soon as you book.
Bordeaux Métropole publishes in advance the dates and times when the Chaban-Delmas bridge closes to traffic, subject to confirmation by the harbour master’s office of the Port of Bordeaux. When a delivery to a customer on the other bank falls during a closure, we plan from the moment you book for the courier to cross by another bridge.
Local rules checked in October 2026.
Bordeaux and its metropolitan area
Bordeaux Métropole stretches across both banks, from Blanquefort to Bègles and from Mérignac to Floirac. Inside the ring road, the ZFE low-emission zone applies day and night; in the centre, bollards close off the pedestrian zone, where deliveries take place from 6am to 11am; and on 89% of Bordeaux’s streets the speed limit is 30 km/h, down to 20 km/h in shared-space zones, where pedestrians have priority. So we plan every Bordeaux delivery around timing and route as much as distance.
Each of our deliveries is dedicated: the vehicle carries only your goods, with no depot or sorting centre on the way. In Bordeaux, that might be a supplier in Blanquefort restocking shops in Cenon and Floirac, or a workshop in Eysines waiting for a part within the day. A job almost always covers several addresses, often on either side of the river: we link them into a multi-drop round, placing those in the pedestrian zone before 11am and allowing for the planned closures of the Chaban-Delmas bridge. That is how our same-day delivery works.
Refrigerated transport, chilled and frozen alike, is the core of our business. Central kitchens often finish their production during the night, and wholesalers, at the MIN de Bordeaux Brienne wholesale market for example, make up their orders long before daybreak. The courier collects your order at night or before dawn and, as a night delivery, hands it over to your restaurants, shops and supermarkets before they open to the public; in the pedestrian zone, from 6am. If nobody is there to take delivery, they let themselves in with the codes or keys you entrust to us.
A loading bay already taken outside a shop in the centre, a Chaban-Delmas bridge closure moved by the harbour master, a customer on the right bank who does not answer: our team reaches the courier, gives the recipient the new time and calls you only when a decision is yours to make. They follow your Bordeaux deliveries every day from 6am to 10pm, and your dashboard keeps proof of every handover.
A truck leaving a warehouse on the right bank for a customer in another region, a van bringing stock from another site to your shops in the Métropole: we take on those journeys too. Shippr has been delivering in France since 2021.
Our services in Bordeaux
Same-day delivery has its own Bordeaux page because, in the pedestrian zone, deliveries take place in the morning only; refrigerated transport has its own because your customers expect their chilled goods before they open to the public. Our other services, from regular rounds to night deliveries, work in Bordeaux as they do everywhere we deliver.
We collect your goods and hand them over within the day, before 11am for a shop in the pedestrian zone, with a van or a truck depending on your volume.
See the serviceOur couriers collect them before dawn from your wholesaler or your central kitchen, and we deliver them chilled or frozen to your customers across the Métropole before they open to the public.

Yes, in the 28 municipalities of Bordeaux Métropole: Mérignac, Pessac, Talence, Bègles and Villenave-d’Ornon to the south and west, Blanquefort, Bruges and Eysines to the north, Lormont, Cenon and Floirac on the right bank, and all the others. Beyond the Métropole, we deliver across France.
Yes. The courier loads at your warehouse, in Mérignac, in Bègles or anywhere else in the Métropole, and delivers to your shops without going through a depot. For those in the pedestrian zone, where deliveries take place from 6am to 11am, we place the handover in that window as soon as you book, and we tell you then whether your order can still be delivered within it.
No. The Bordeaux Métropole ZFE covers everything inside the ring road, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and bars only unclassified vehicles: for a van, those registered before 1 October 1997. Every vehicle in it must display a Crit’Air emissions sticker; for your deliveries in the zone, we send a vehicle that has one, at no cost to you. The ring road itself stays outside the zone.
