Why choose reusable shipping with Prinoa?
The decision to use reusable packaging was significantly influenced by dental technicians, who are responsible for unpacking and disposing of cardboard packaging. By using reusable shipping packaging, a large portion of packaging waste is eliminated.
Customer feedback shows: The system works smoothly. hey circle's packaging solution is actively embraced by some customers, while for others it is barely noticeable – a sign of seamless integration into the ordering process.
How the reusable cycle works
"Most reusable packaging providers have a very strict workflow for deployment and especially for the return shipping of the packaging. Usually, the packaging circulates individually between sender and recipient. We, however, collect the packaging from the customer over a few days to minimize the effort of return shipping for the customer and reduce incurred shipping costs,"
explains Marcus Kalb, Managing Director of Prinoa Dental GmbH, regarding the special
shipping cycle between his company and its customers.
- Receiving reusable packaging: Customers receive their order in a reusable box or bag from hey circle.
- Space-saving storage: The packaging can be folded and collected.
- Return shipping from ten packages: Customers automatically receive a return bag when ten packages have been collected.
- Free returns: The collected packages are placed in the return bag, sealed, and provided with the enclosed return label.
- Automatic pickup: The shipping service provider GO! picks up the return on the next business day – without additional effort for the customer.
