drop-off points

Where packages go

Drop-off points are designated locations where people leave things—packages for shipping, children for school, recyclables for collection.

The term implies a brief stop rather than a destination: you arrive, deposit what you're carrying, and leave.

The map showed several drop-off points for donations.

In logistics, drop-off points are part of delivery networks where customers retrieve orders or return items.
