Get soilkind ready for the journey
To ensure that soilkind can travel safely, it is important that it no longer contains any organic waste and/or compost. Before packing soilkind, please run the throw-out process twice. This will ensure that there is no more biomass in the device. You can find detailed instructions further down on this page.
Pack your soilkind
Pack the item so that it cannot be damaged during transport. This also means that the transport lock on your device must be activated. Include a copy of your invoice in the package and be sure to put the repair slip with barcode in the package - this is the best way for us to identify your soilkind. We will send you the repair slip in advance via email. Note any transport instructions in the soilkind user manual.
Collecting your package
As soon as we have received and checked your request, we will confirm your shipping date via email. On your collection day, the dpd courier will bring a shipping label, stamp your package and get your soilkind ready for the journey. Please make sure that your soilkind composter is properly and safely packaged (see “How do I pack my soilkind?”)
Important: It is absolutely necessary that you are at home on the agreed date.
