Mexican e-commerce logistics startup PuntoPost secured a US$4.64 million investment round backed by department store retailer Liverpool and venture capital firms to scale its out-of-home last-mile delivery network across Mexico. The capital injection addresses elevated domestic parcel shipping costs that constrain digital commerce growth, offering price reductions of up to 80% through local merchant collection points. This development impacts digital retailers, logistics aggregators, and small neighborhood businesses navigating Mexico’s MX$941 billion e-commerce market.

Mexican last-mile logistics startup PuntoPost closed a US$4.64 million investment round, incorporating department store retailer Liverpool as a new investor alongside existing venture capital backers 4Founders Capital, JME Ventures, Lanai, and Inclimo. The capital injection aims to scale PuntoPost’s out-of-home delivery network to lower parcel shipping fees, which remain a primary obstacle for digital retail expansion in Mexico.
“E-commerce in Mexico requires a logistics infrastructure capable of growing at the same pace as digital sales,” stated Alberto Leroy, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of PuntoPost. “Our objective is to bring delivery points closer to consumers and offer a more efficient, accessible alternative for brands and shoppers.”
High parcel delivery costs present a structural bottleneck for Mexican e-commerce platforms and merchants. Standard parcel shipments within Mexico typically range between MX$150 (US$8.33) and MX$300 (US$16.67), representing a cost structure up to five times higher than several European markets. By operating an out-of-home collection network rather than traditional home delivery routes, PuntoPost offers shipment rates starting at MX$60.00 (US$3.33), enabling digital merchants to reduce last-mile shipping expenses between 60% and 80%.
PuntoPost was established in late 2023 by logistics industry executives Alberto Leroy and Erick Guerrero. Leroy previously served as an executive at European out-of-home delivery operator InPost, where he directed the expansion of parcel pick-up points across Spain and Portugal from 3,000 to 12,000 locations. Guerrero formerly served as Operations Director for Mercado Libre across Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. Following an initial seed capital round of US$1.5 million in January 2025, the co-founders designed PuntoPost to optimize distribution routes, diminish last-mile transit distances, and reduce reliance on large legacy parcel operators.
PuntoPost’s Growth Strategy in Mexico
Rather than deploying dedicated vehicle fleets for direct-to-door delivery, PuntoPost partners with small neighborhood commercial establishments that function as secure parcel drop-off and collection points. The model provides a predictable secondary revenue stream for participating small businesses, generating up to MX$400 (US$22.22) in daily income. This translates to additional monthly revenues between MX$9,000 (US$500.00) and MX$12,000 (US$666.67) for affiliated shopkeepers, while driving higher physical foot traffic to brick-and-mortar storefronts.
PuntoPost currently operates an infrastructure of more than 2,000 active delivery and collection points across 11 Mexican states, including Mexico City, State of Mexico, Jalisco, Nuevo Leon, Puebla, Tlaxcala, Queretaro, Hidalgo, Guanajuato, Veracruz, and Tabasco. The network is currently integrated into the fulfillment operations of digital commerce platforms such as fashion marketplace GoTrendier and shipping technology aggregators Skydropex and Envía.com to optimize parcel dispatches.
The fresh US$4.64 million capital allocation will support national network expansion into new regional markets, including Aguascalientes and Colima. Proceeds will also finance proprietary technology development, the expansion of the affiliated merchant network, the strengthening of commercial partnership teams, and logistics infrastructure enhancements required to serve large-scale enterprise e-commerce retailers.
Mexico Emerging as Global Leader in E-Commerce
Liverpool’s investment in PuntoPost arrives as Mexico consolidates its position as Latin America’s second-largest e-commerce market and one of the fastest-growing digital economies globally. According to the Mexican Association of Online Sales (AMVO), total national e-commerce sales reached MX$941 billion (US$55.35 billion) in 2025. This represents a 19.2% year-over-year expansion — growing roughly 25 times faster than the broader domestic economy — and is supported by an active base of 77.2 million digital shoppers.
The rapid expansion has elevated Mexico’s e-commerce penetration to 17.7% of total retail sales, ranking the country eighth globally in digital adoption and positioning its growth rate ahead of mature markets like the United States. The market breakdown reflects strong momentum across digital channels, with pure-play online platforms growing 23.7% in 2025, while omnichannel “brick-and-click” retailers expanded by 14.9%.
Pierre-Claude Blaise, CEO of AMVO, noted that Mexico’s digital growth curve closely mirrors China’s expansion trajectory from roughly a decade ago, highlighting significant untapped market potential as online retail deepens across regional corridors. This market evolution is driven by a mobile-first consumer base — where 85% of purchases are completed via smartphone and 66% of buyers finalize transactions within 24 hours of product discovery — making out-of-home collection networks and efficient last-mile logistics critical to supporting ongoing transaction volumes.
