FD / INTAKE BOOK 34.10

The description arrived first.

The sample can still arrive separately.

RECEIVE
COMPARE
RETURN

A desk with limits.

We receive up to six ordinary, non-hazardous material samples in one intake. Each should fit inside a 30 × 30 × 10 cm parcel and weigh no more than 2 kg. Packaging, sender reference and visible condition are recorded before opening.

A package is opened only with a named permission. Liquids, biological material, loose batteries and controlled goods need a specialist route; they cannot be made ordinary by calling them samples.

01 / RECEIVED

At the outside.

Count packages. Note the labels supplied by the sender and any visible damage. A courier's arrival is not acceptance of the object inside.

02 / COMPARED

Within the scope.

Describe handling, surface and visible variation under ordinary desk light. We do not infer certification, chemical composition or suitability from appearance.

03 / RETURNED

With a route.

A named carrier and recipient are agreed separately. The desk can hold the closed package while a return route is chosen.

The object and the note
have separate prices.

Receive up to three samples: €32 per intake group
Material comparison note: €48 for the intake
Return by named carrier: Quoted by distance

Four to six samples require two intake groups. The comparison charge is once per intake, across its agreed samples. Reference prices cover ordinary handling and up to seven calendar days at the desk; longer holding requires agreement.

An estimate creates no purchasing authority. Procurement decisions stay with the commissioning party.

PRIVATE INTAKE MANIFEST

Bring the boundary
with the parcel.

Describe the sample instead of selecting a purchasing outcome. “Read the label” and “open the package” are different permissions.

Receipt records an agreed act after it happens. Touchstone handles a separate material provenance review. Last Mile can carry an object after its route is agreed.

Private conversation and comparison notes are excluded from the public completion record unless their release has been agreed separately.
