- The appointment request needs to be made at least 2 days before delivery for pallets and 7 days for container.
- As a merchant you can submit the appointment request yourself from the Delivery section of your Inbound shipment or share the public appointment link to you supplier or carrier.
- If you entrust your supplier/carrier with making the appointment, it is your responsibility to check that the appointment has been made on time.
- As soon as the warehouse will reply:
- you’ll be notified by emails
- the appointment status will be updated in the app
❌ 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.
