Пункт выдачи находится рядом с метро.

Because выдачи is in the genitive case.

In Russian, one noun often modifies another by using the genitive, similar to English of:

• пункт выдачи = pickup point / literally point of pickup/issuance
• центр города = city center / literally center of the city
• чашка чая = cup of tea

So пункт выдачи literally means something like a point of handing out goods.

It is instrumental case, because the expression рядом с requires the instrumental:

• рядом с домом = next to the house
• рядом с магазином = next to the store
• рядом с метро = next to / near the metro

However, метро is a special noun: it is indeclinable, so its form does not change. That means nominative, accusative, instrumental, etc. all look the same:

• метро
• к метро
• с метро
• о метро

So even though the case is instrumental here, the word still appears as метро.

Because рядом с is a fixed expression meaning next to, beside, or near.

You should learn it as a chunk:

• рядом с банком
• рядом с парком
• рядом с метро

Russian often uses prepositional phrases where English uses a single word. So although English says near the metro, Russian says something more like beside with the metro historically, but in modern Russian you should just remember рядом с + instrumental.

Находится means is located or is situated.

So the sentence is a natural way to say that the pickup point is in a certain place:

• Пункт выдачи находится рядом с метро.
• The pickup point is located near the metro.

Russian often uses находиться when talking about location in a slightly formal or neutral way.

You could also hear:

• Пункт выдачи рядом с метро. = The pickup point is near the metro.
• Пункт выдачи расположен рядом с метро. = The pickup point is situated near the metro.
  (a bit more formal)

So находится is natural and common, especially in informational or business-style language.

Yes. Russian often omits a present-tense verb equivalent to is in simple sentences.

So both are possible:

• Пункт выдачи рядом с метро.
• Пункт выдачи находится рядом с метро.

The version with находится sounds a bit more explicit and slightly more formal. The version without it is shorter and very natural in everyday speech.

In real usage, рядом с метро often means near the metro station or close to metro access, not necessarily the whole subway system in an abstract sense.

Russian speakers frequently use метро in this practical way:

• Живу рядом с метро. = I live near the metro.
• Офис рядом с метро. = The office is near the metro.

If someone wants to be more specific, they might say:

• рядом со станцией метро = near the metro station

But рядом с метро is very common and natural.

They all relate to closeness, but with slightly different shades:

• рядом с = right by, next to, very near
• около = near, around, by
• возле = near, by
• недалеко от = not far from

Examples:

• рядом с метро = right near the metro
• около метро = near the metro
• возле метро = near the metro
• недалеко от метро = not far from the metro

In many contexts, около метро and возле метро are close in meaning to рядом с метро, but рядом с can feel a bit more like immediately beside.

Also note the grammar changes:

• рядом с + instrumental
• около + genitive
• возле + genitive
• недалеко от + genitive

Yes, the word order can be changed, because Russian word order is fairly flexible.

The neutral order here is:

• Пункт выдачи находится рядом с метро.

You could also say:

• Рядом с метро находится пункт выдачи.

This version puts more focus on the location: Near the metro there is a pickup point / The pickup point is located near the metro.

Russian word order often changes for emphasis, information flow, or style rather than basic grammar.

Because Russian has no articles.

English distinguishes between:

• a pickup point
• the pickup point

Russian does not do this with separate words like a or the. Whether something is definite or indefinite is understood from context.

So:

• Пункт выдачи находится рядом с метро.

can mean:

• The pickup point is near the metro
• A pickup point is near the metro

depending on the situation.

It is pronounced roughly like:

• нахОдится

The ending -тся is common in reflexive verbs. In modern pronunciation, -тся is usually pronounced like -ца.

So:

• находится sounds approximately like nah-HO-deet-sa

As for spelling:

• находиться = infinitive, to be located
• находится = 3rd person singular, is located

Compare:

• Пункт выдачи может находиться рядом с метро.
  The pickup point can be located near the metro.
• Пункт выдачи находится рядом с метро.
  The pickup point is located near the metro.

The main stresses are:

• пУнкт
• вЫдачи
• нахОдится
• рЯдом
• метрО

So the whole sentence is:

• пУнкт вЫдачи нахОдится рЯдом с метрО

Stress is important in Russian, because it is not always predictable and can affect pronunciation a lot.

Yes. It is very common, especially in shopping, delivery, and e-commerce contexts.

It usually refers to a place where you pick up an order, for example from an online store or delivery service.

You may also see related phrases such as:

• пункт самовывоза = self-pickup point
• выдача заказов = order pickup / issuing orders
• пункт выдачи заказов = order pickup point

So this sentence sounds completely natural in modern everyday Russian, especially in ads, maps, delivery apps, and customer-service messages.
