Simulator of an order pick-up point.

Step behind the counter of a neighborhood parcel depot and learn what it takes to keep daily operations running smoothly. Every delivery that arrives needs a spot on your shelves, and every customer who walks in expects their package found without delay. Matching labels, tracking storage spots, and moving boxes around quickly become second nature as you settle into the rhythm of the workday. As the hours pass, the workload shifts and grows. You'll deal with fluctuating volumes of incoming shipments, occasional misplaced items, and the steady pressure of a waiting line. The game rewards calm decision-making and smart organization over speed alone, turning a simple job into a satisfying puzzle of space and time.

What is Simulator of an order pick-up point.

Manage a busy pick-up point where every box has a place and every visitor needs attention. Master the flow of packages and people to keep the day on track.

How to Play

Accept incoming parcels, assign each one to a free shelf spot, and note where you placed it. When customers present their order details, locate the right package and hand it over before the line grows too long.

Tips for Playing

Group parcels by customer name or order number to cut down retrieval time.
Reserve the closest shelves for the most recent arrivals, since they're often picked up sooner.
Stay focused on the current queue rather than trying to reorganize the entire room at once.
Double-check labels before storing a package to avoid mixing up similar-looking boxes.
Use quiet moments between rushes to tidy up cluttered areas and free up shelf space.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if a package is placed on the wrong shelf?

The parcel stays where you put it, but you'll need to search longer when its owner arrives. Careful placement from the start speeds up every later step.

Is there a penalty for taking too long with a customer?

There's no strict time limit, but the queue keeps growing when you stall. Longer waits make the rest of your shift more stressful to manage.

Can I move packages after they've been stored?

Yes, you can relocate any parcel to a different shelf at any time. Rearranging mid-shift can help, but it takes time away from serving customers.

Are all incoming packages the same size?

No, parcels come in different shapes and sizes. Larger boxes take up more shelf space, so you have to plan your storage more carefully.

Does the difficulty increase as I play?

The pace gradually picks up with more deliveries and a busier customer flow. Your organization habits determine how smoothly you handle the added pressure.
