How to return packaging
If you want to return packaging and have it collected, please follow the procedure below for fast and correct handling:
- You register the packaging to be taken in with the Fust Online service via computer (webview application) or via the Royal FloraHolland Fust Online app on your cell phone.
- The auction employee from LDK (Logistic Services for Customers) will see your notification on the handheld scanner and will come over to you.
- This LDK employee will scan your packaging card, check the quantities and packaging codes, and read the packaging for collection digitally with the handheld scanner.
- If you and the LDK employee both agree with the quantities and packaging codes on the handheld scanner, this person will scan your packaging card once more and the collection will be finalized. By allowing this scan to take place, you approve the transaction and the associated financial settlement.
- Please take care to always first check the quantities entered, together with the LDK employee, as subsequent claims will no longer be possible once approval has been given.
- In the case of deviations, count the packaging again with the LDK employee, after which the LDK employee can enter the correct quantities.
- After finalizing the collection, you will receive confirmation by email stating the quantities of the packaging units returned.
We no longer work with paper receipts. All packaging returns are registered digitally using the handheld scanner.
