This offset limit was set up to prevent Royal FloraHolland having to transport large quantities of boxes between locations. With the flower box Fc520, most changes lead to unacceptably high transport costs.
The levy system has six main elements:
- Transport levy for the box pool applies to packaging code Fc520.
- Boxes must be handed in to the location where they were purchased.
- In each period, you may hand in a maximum of 250 extra boxes (more than you purchased) at that hub at no charge.
- There is no limit to handing in packaging code Fc520 at Naaldwijk.
- We will deduct Direct Trade, Buyer-Buyer and Grower-Grower numbers in the event of any excess.
- Is the difference per period greater than these 250 pieces? Then a charge of € 0.32 (fictitious rate) per box will be made.
Example
You have an excess of 1,500 Fc520 boxes at Aalsmeer. You deduct from this your Direct Trade transactions and Buyer-Buyer transactions (for example, a total of 1,100) and 250 boxes of leeway. This leaves you with an actual excess of 150 boxes at € 0.32 (ffictitious rate).
We inform every buyer in advance by e-mail if he/she is going to be charged a levy. We settle the charge by direct debit.
You can request a weekly Box Imbalance Report from Customer Contact Center (free).
