Auctioning with CC-containers
Responding to your customers' wishes
The majority of flowers and plants are auctioned on trolleys. But if your customers are exporters who want to transport your plants directly to their customers, then auctioning with CC-containers is more efficient. Your customers do not have to transfer the products. Auctioning with CC-containers is possible at the Aalsmeer, Naaldwijk and Eelde locations.
Your benefits
- Satisfied customers who can leave to transport their purchases sooner
What does it cost?
Auctioning with CC-containers is done in clusters. You pay one
lot levy for the 'sample trolley'. For each associated
CC-container, you pay a surcharge of €1 on top of the trolley levy.
For the 'sample trolley' you pay only the trolley levy.
If Royal FloraHolland has to transfer the products to another
trolley because you did not follow the guidelines, then we charge a
fee of €20 per CC-container.
How does it work?
When auctioning with CC-containers, only a 'sample trolley' appears at the clock. The lead CC-container and the linked CC-containers remain in the deployment area. The sample trolley and the CC-containers together form a CC-cluster. The auctioneer can sell the sample trolley in several transactions. The CC-containers are sold individually.
If you want to auction your plants on CC-containers, it is important to comply with the following checklist closely:
- Seal cold-sensitive products, unstable products and products that protrude from the CC-container.
- Are you working with mixed trolleys? Ensure that the mixture of products on the sample trolley matches that on the CC-containers.
- Do you deliver your products mixed in one package? Ensure that the mixture of products on the sample trolley matches that on the CC-containers.
- The number of packages or loose plants on the sample trolley may deviate from the quantity on the CC-containers.
- Fill in the delivery forms correctly. For more information, see the completion instructions under 'Link to'.
- Use a document holder; they are available at the container depot (code 52).
- The original form from the lead-CC remains in the document holder of the lead-CC. Staple the original form from the sample trolley and a copy of the form for the lead-CC to the sample trolley. Place the staple in the lower left corner.
- Affix an A4 sheet of paper to the front (lock plate side) and the side (auction room side) of the sample trolley specifying the number of CC-containers.
- Make sure you have an EDF, it is mandatory for the physical lot at the auction. If the EDF arrives later, a surcharge will be imposed.
