Items are collected in two ways: they are collected for free by our collection service or you take them to the thrift store yourself.

What are the conditions for having things collected?
Getting your things picked up for free at your home is easily arranged. To make this as smooth as possible, we have listed a few points.

Due to the new measures, we request everyone to leave the items dry outside the home. We currently do not remove items from the house. Our employees also do not enter buildings and homes.

  • Preferably offer the goods on the ground floor in a central location which is easily accessible for the truck.
  • Do you have things outside? If necessary, cover it against the weather.
  • Do you live in a campsite or leisure park? Preferably you offer the items at the entrance. The driver only enters the site if the pick-up location is easily accessible and the barrier is opened.
  • If you are not present, we are not allowed to take things out of a shed or garage, unless you have indicated this carefully.
  • Furniture must be offered for transport and, if necessary, be disassembled by you. Our employees cannot help with that. If goods are offered disassembled, a photo and the dimensions must be present. These can be sent by email to customer service @rataplan.NL. State the postcode and house number from where the product is to be picked up.
  • Offer small household items and loose items in a box or bag.
  • Offer clothing in a sealed bag.
  • If an entire household is collected, we will only take with us what is salable.
  • The driver / warehouse employee ultimately decides whether the goods can be used.

Just now rataplan Hoogvliet visited. I belong to the risk group and I liked it after more than a year, finally using one shop appointment to be able to browse corona safe. Unfortunately, it didn't feel like that. Because as a visitor you are very neatly and clearly pointed out to the corona rules, including keeping your distance and a mouth mask required. Unfortunately, I have not seen any employee who adhered to it. They themselves have the mouth caps hanging under the nose or on an ear, so not at all safe. And where I am looking at a shelf, a co-worker comes standing next to me to replenish things. I said something about it and got no response, she just does it a second time. Tis that I myself walk back to keep my distance. Sorry, but I think this is not possible for (vulnerable) visitors. In addition, I think rataplan the most expensive among the thrift stores.

Response from RataPlan

Dear Arie, thank you for the response. We will deal with this internally immediately. Our employees are supposed to be Stick to the rules, because many of our employees also belong to the risk group and are therefore more vulnerable. We apologize for the inconvenience and we hope that you have nevertheless been able to find nice things during your shopping session.
