⚠️As explained in our Reception Policy, the delivery note must be visibly attached to your goods once they arrive at the warehouse.
3. How to make an appointment at the Warehouse
- If you're shipping more than 20 boxes, it needs to be send by pallets and you'll have to make an appointment. You can take a look at our receiving policies here.
- It needs to be make by your carrier at least 48 hours in advance by filling out the Make a warehouse appointment form, which is available in the Warehouse settings of the app (Settings > Warehouses).
- Delivery times, as well as the warehouse address, are also available in the Warehouse settings.
- You must provide a copy of the delivery note to your carrier. It'll be requested at delivery.
❌ Without an appointment, the warehouse will systematically refuse deliveries.
❌ Late deliveries (> 30 min after the appointment time) may be refused. However, our warehouses always do their best to accommodate late deliveries.
