From the time of delivery of the articles by the supplier, WRG aims to inspect the supplied articles for discrepancies within four working days. WRG will report discrepancies to the supplier and will charge the value of a discrepancy to the supplier, or offset it against an invoice still to be paid.

WRG reserves the right to (partially) cancel a Purchase Order and reject a deviation and return it (at the supplier’s expense) to the supplier. In the case of the return of a deviation, ownership and risk of shipment/receipt shall pass to the supplier as soon as WRG has dispatched these items.

Consequences
Failure to comply with WRG’s logistics conditions may result in:

1. Refusal of a delivery;
2. Return of a delivery to the supplier; and/or en/of
3. Charging the supplier for repairs carried out (VAS) and/or shipping costs.
4. Stopping accepting new deliveries until all previous shipments have been processed or collected.

A properly scannable barcode should be attached to articles.
When articles contain variables such as size, colour, flavour or functionality, a unique barcode should be used.
When in doubt, the decision-support tool from GS1.org can be used.

We accept the following standard barcodes:

• EAN;
• GTIN;
• UPC-A.

For additional packaging material, always take into account the scannability of the article barcode:

• Barcode should be at least 25 mm high and 50 mm wide;
• Human-readable interpretation under barcodes is mandatory.

Articles without barcodes will be irrevocably returned to the sender.

Built-up load carriers should comply with the following conditions:

• Maximum weight of pallet is 500 kg;
• Logistical units lighter than 4 kg may be stacked up to 220cm high;
• Logistical units from 4 to 20 kg may be stacked up to 180cm;
• Logistical units from 20 to 46 kg may be stacked up to 120 cm;
• Do not stack items heavier than 46 kg and always deliver on a pallet.

We accept the following load carriers:

• Roll containers (only if coordinated in advance);
• Transport containers (only if agreed in advance);
• EPAL or CHEP pallets (80*120 cm) mandatory for Big goods and XXL;
• Hanging racks (subject to hanging goods);
• Disposable pallets (80*120 cm), but only for Small goods deliveries;
• Solid size pallets for items exceeding the footprint of standard pallets;
• Block pallets (100 x 120 cm or 120 x 120 cm ) for XXL items.

We are forced to refuse load carriers for the following reasons, among others:

• Opaque stretch film for non-theft sensitive goods;
• Sagged or unstable pallets;
• Visible moisture, mould or other damage to items;
• Load carrier identification missing or illegible;
• Overall condition of load carrier is too poor to ensure safety.

Load carrier/box identification
Identification on load carriers should comply with the following conditions:

• Label format should be A5 or A6 size only;
• Use SSCC barcode labels;
• Other LPNs are permitted provided that:
  • Unique (not more frequent across all shipments to WRG);
  • In code 128 format;
  • After approval during onboarding;
• Barcode should be minimum 32 mm high and maximum 165 mm wide;
• Human-readable interpretation under barcodes is mandatory.
• Delivery is made with LPNs at box level, pallet level, or both.

If the article is a set of packages, this should be indicated on the packaging. It is sufficient if only the barcode of the set is scannable, without the barcode of the individual articles of which the set is composed being readable. If an article is made up of packages, it must always be stated on the packaging which packages it concerns and how many packages are needed for a complete article. Each package has a unique barcode applied to the narrowest side of the package.

The annexes to this Operational Annex contain a number of examples of correctly and incorrectly packed articles. If this section does not provide guidance for a particular article group, the VPC will tailor the packaging instructions.

Fragile articles
Fragile articles (such as crockery, glassware, lighting etc.) and fragile articles (such as liquids) should be packed in a way that prevents the risk of damage.
The article can be subjected to a drop test from a height of one metre; the article must be able to withstand a fall on all sides and corners without breaking.

Furniture, duvets and pillows:
Furniture (sofas, chairs, tables, cupboards, mattresses, rugs, pillows, etc.) should be packed individually for storage and delivery to customers. The packaging should be closed with strong glue or sturdy tape. The use of staples to close boxes is not allowed.
Additional packaging guidelines for this range can be found on wehkamplogistiek.nl.

Fashion, shoes and other textiles:
Fabric and textile articles are vulnerable to dirt and moisture and should be delivered sealed in a box or transparent polybag with material and dispose symbol. In addition, the following requirements apply:

• Fashion articles always tagged with the article-barcode;
• Clothing hangers are only allowed if the articles are intended for hanging storage.
• Articles may not contain any parts protruding from box or polybag (this also applies to tags);
• Price information on articles only allowed if the price matches the original retail price on the consumer website (repricing possible at VAS rates);
• Always deliver shoes in original packaging;
• Fabric articles such as soft toys should be packed in a sealed polybag or box;
• Packaging as thin as possible and as much as possible from recycled material.
• Provide articles in boxes with lids with strong elastic so that the lid cannot fall off the box during transport.

Sharp articles:

Sharp articles pose a safety risk to employees, transporters and customers. These articles should therefore be packed in such a way that sharp edges or points are protected during the logistics process.

Hygiene articles:

Hygiene articles cannot be resold after opening the packaging. The packaging should therefore always be delivered sealed. Consider the following article groups:

• Toothpaste;
• Care products;
• Erotics;
• Cosmetics.

Articles with limited shelf life:
We only accept articles with a best-before date (BBD) if the minimum best-before date is 6 months from the delivery date.

Articles containing hazardous substances:

Articles containing hazardous substances may be stored in the LSCZ only if the conditions below are met:

WRG aims for the most sustainable logistics process possible, to avoid unnecessary transports we ask you to:

• Merge shipments from multiple purchase orders into one delivery;
• If volumes allow, send one delivery per week.

On wehkamplogistiek.nl, you will find the booking form. The form distinguishes between three types of bookings and four types of registrations:

• Book a time slot: Reserve a new time slot for your delivery.
• I have a scheduled delivery: Confirm the details of an already scheduled delivery.
• Manage my delivery: Reserve another time slot or cancel an already scheduled delivery.

• CSV: Choose this option when the packing slip is provided as a CSV file. Please refer to our CSV packing list template for more information.
• (i)EDI: Use this option if a connection via (i)EDI with WRG has been established. We will ask for a DESADV number.
• WDP: Choose this option for registration as an alliance via the WDP portal.
• Pre-registration: If you do not yet have a CSV packing list, DESADV reference, or WDP reference, you can reserve a time slot without the packing slip. Please note: once the packing slip or shipment reference is available, an additional registration is required.

If it is not possible to deliver at the agreed time, WRG should be contacted first. Availability of dock and unloading equipment is only guaranteed during the delivery block.

WRG is not liable for any waiting costs incurred.

Contact your merchandise planner in the following cases:

• The physical shipment contains more boxes or pallets than have been notified.

Contact Arrivals office in the following cases:

•  The shipment does not appear on the scheduled date;
• The shipment arrives an hour before or after the scheduled delivery block.

A shipment should always be pre-notified via the portal on wehkamplogistiek.nl.
Each shipment must have a valid ASN. The following three methods to pre-notify a shipment are correct:

1. DESADV via an Electronic Data Interchange connection between WRG and the Supplier;
2. A DESADV created via the IEDI portal (after digital onboarding); or
3. Upload one CSV file in WRG format via the portal on the wehkamplogististiek.nl (see appendix 1 for explanation)

Without a correct ASN, the supplier’s shipment will be refused.

Preferably, an ASN is provided with LPNs in the digital packing note. As far as possible, the supplier should ensure that LPN stickers are scannable from the outside of the pallet. The following information is mandatory here:

• Quantities;
• Article barcodes;
• Load carrier labels (LPN); and
• Purchase order.

The alternative is an ASN at article level. The following information is mandatory here:

• Quantity;
• Article barcodes;
• Purchase order.

1. Drive through to the barrier on the LSCZ premises;
2. Driver reports with ASN at the counter of the arrivals office;
3. Driver hands over ASN and CMR at the counter;
4. Driver is assigned a dock number and assists in unloading operations;
5. Damaged cargo is rejected and signed off on the CMR;
6. EPAL pallets are only exchanged at the door, this is reported on the CMR;
7. The consignment note is signed for receipt of the smallest unit indicated on the consignment note (pieces/collo/pallet);
8. After signing off, we keep our part of the CMR for a period of 7 years;
9. Digital CMR should be sent to  [email protected].

The LSCZ always carries out a 100% check of the goods delivered.
WRG aims to communicate defects and deficiencies to the supplier within five working days of inbound.

Upon receipt of goods, WRG is entitled to carry out a random check. The driver is expected to wait for the sample to be completed.

A sample applies to the entire shipment. During the random check, it is checked whether the shipment matches the pre-notification. During sampling, boxes are opened to check numbers.

We perform the following operations at standard rates:

• Sorting: If snakewise delivery is not possible;
• Sorting: If quality control issues are identified;
• Folding and packaging: If packaging is not commerce ready;
• Masking or removal prices: If incorrect price is stated on article;
• Removing clothes hangers: If small goods articles contain hangers;
• Removing alarmtags: Removal of hard tags from clothing;
• Multipacks to singles: Break-up of articles delivered as a set;
• Singles to Multipacks: When an article is sold as a set or promo pack;
• Fragile articles: When the original packaging is not sufficiently protected; and
• Counting: If the shipment does not meet administrative requirements.
