packages crossed a provincial border to reach their destination.
Trucks, distribution centers, and neighborhood businesses. That physical network is what lets commerce reach farther: an entrepreneur in the north can sell to someone in the south, with the package arriving in record time.
Cutting logistics costs and delivery times is what enables e-commerce to grow.
In 2025, Mercado Libre operated 45 logistics centers and 1,142 delivery and pickup agencies. 2 out of every 3 packages crossed a provincial border to reach their destination.
Cutting logistics costs and delivery times is what enables e-commerce to grow, and benefits small, peripheral, and low-ticket sellers the most. Mercado Libre's logistics map, which started out concentrated in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area, gradually expanded toward the central region, with Córdoba and Rosario, and later toward Cuyo, the NOA, Patagonia, and the NEA.
This reach integrates the domestic market, connecting regional economies with high-demand hubs, and spreads opportunities more evenly, bringing the network closer to smaller cities it didn't used to reach. The last mile — the delivery and pickup agencies, many of them neighborhood businesses — is the most visible tip of that process.
51%
of the SMEs that sell on Mercado Libre reached a city they had not sold to before.
