5. pakadoo services at the pakadoo point / your parcel locker

The pakadoo services are available to you as a pakadoo user during the opening and pickup times of the pakadoo point specified by the pakadoo point operator.

Please note: pakadoo point can also mean a pakadoo parcel station, this is not always explicitly mentioned in the text below.

Parcels can only be picked up at pakadoo point after receipt of the notification of receipt. This message contains either a QR or a barcode or, if the pakadoo point is equipped with a parcel locker, depending on the locker model, the information of the locker compartment in which your parcel is stored as well as a TAN to open it.

When picking up your parcel at a manned pakadoo point, the QR code must be shown for scanning either as a printout or on a mobile system and, if necessary, a personal four-digit PIN must be entered.

You agree that the package may also be handed over to a third party who has the pick-up information provided in the notification of receipt, such as the QR Code or TAN, your PAK ID if applicable, and your four-digit PIN if required, and who can be assumed under the circumstances to be entitled to pick up the shipment. You should therefore handle all data required for collection with care – such as your bank card.

The parcel must be collected within a storage period of ten (10) working days – Monday to Friday – within the opening and collection times of your pakadoo point. In case of non-collection, you will receive a reminder email at the latest two days after delivery. Please note that there is no claim that pakadoo returns parcels that have not been collected. Your return deadlines may expire as a result. Uncollected parcels can be either auctioned or destroyed after 90 days.

If your parcel is delivered and stored at your pakadoo point and is not picked up by you or a person authorized by you within a maximum period of ten (10) working days, pakadoo is entitled, after a reasonable period of time (usually 6 months) has elapsed, to dispose of the shipment in accordance with the statutory provisions.

If a parcel delivered at a pakadoo point cannot be identified (missing PAK ID), pakadoo or a person authorised by pakadoo is entitled to open the parcel.

If the recipient of the parcel (pakadoo user) is unknown and cannot be identified even after the parcel has been opened, pakadoo is entitled to dispose of the parcel in accordance with the statutory provisions after a reasonable period of time has elapsed (usually 6 months).

Unusable or spoiled goods/consignments can be destroyed by pakadoo immediately after opening the parcel.

Deviating regulations for the receipt of parcels at a pakadoo parcel locker or at a pakadoo self-collection point s. Item 5.1. resp. 5.2.

If returns are permitted or possible at your pakadoo point, the return of a parcel will only be carried out with the free return label provided by the online retailer. Returns can only be returned via DHL and Hermes. If a private parcel arrives at pakadoo point without or with an incomplete PAK ID, the pakadoo point employees are entitled to open the parcel to determine the recipient.

5.1. pakadoo parcel locker

Once your parcel has been stored in the parcel locker, you will receive a notification of receipt by email or via myPAKADOO App. Depending on the type of locker at the pakadoo point, this contains the number of the relevant locker compartment and a TAN to open it. When picking up a parcel at a pakadoo parcel locker, either the transmitted TAN must be entered for opening at the specified locker compartment or your PAK ID and your four-digit PIN must be entered on the central operating display.

For technical reasons, each parcel is stored in its own compartment. A separate TAN for each locker compartment is required for each parcel at a locker with TAN entry. On a parcel locker with a central operating display, all you need to do is enter your PAK ID and PIN once and all the compartments in which parcels are stored for you will open.

If the parcel locker is full or your parcel is too large for one of the compartments, it is stored in the so-called overflow point. You will be notified of this in the notification of receipt and informed of the location and opening hours of the overflow point. With the data contained in the notification (QR or barcode) you can then pick up your parcel there.

Returns can also be returned via a pakadoo parcel rack (see FAQ for pakadoo users).

5.2. pakadoo self-collection point

After your parcel has been stored, you will receive a notification of receipt with the storage location and a button to click on. Click on this button to confirm the pick-up of your parcel. This changes the status of your parcel to “collected”. Please proceed in the same way when picking up your parcel. Parcels that are picked up without you having clicked this button or alternatively the button in your parcel overview are considered as not picked up in the system. You will then receive reminder emails for collection.

Please note that there is no supervision by pakadoo point employees at the pick-up point. You as the user bear the sole responsibility for the correct removal of your parcels. Liability at the pick-up point s. Item 9.2.

If returns are permitted at your self-collection point, they must be handed over directly to the pakadoo point employee.

6. Complaints and refusals of acceptance

As a pakadoo user you agree that the pakadoo point can refuse to accept delivery of parcels that are, in its view, obviously damaged.

When collecting parcels from the pakadoo point you must check them for visible damage / incorrect quantities and immediately inform the pakadoo point of any issues.

Please note that you can only complain to the pakadoo Service Team about a missing or undelivered package within a period of max. 90 days.

The pakadoo team is only entitled to refuse the acceptance of damaged packages or packages that do not comply with the terms of use. Refusal of acceptance for other reasons or at your request is not possible.

7. Communication

pakadoo would like to keep you up to date on website updates, new developments, services or offers. When you register, we therefore ask you to indicate whether you would like to receive a newsletter from us or not. If you are already a registered pakadoo user, you will of course continue to receive the necessary information about important changes in connection with the use of the pakadoo service.
Offers that pakadoo sends to registered pakadoo users via its newsletter are expressly directed at these users only and do not constitute an offer for third parties.

8. Exclusion from pakadoo services
