💳🌳📬 Green Card delivery [Collective topic]

TwitNour

I got the message too. If I look at the history it indeed seems that the package went from NL 🇳🇱 to Belgium 🇧🇪 to eventually go back to NL 🇳🇱 again... Not so 'green' as I expected... 🌲

I have received a message from DHL that I will receive a package today, but sadly nothing from bunq...

Hemmik

Mo Dit is echt absurd..Hoe kan dit door gaan als DHL Go green? Gaat mijn kaart zo dan ook van Amsterdam -> Eindhoven -> Brussel -> Amsterdam?

johannes

Hemmik DHL has probably no "main hub" in Amsterdam, and so it's always going to the nearest one first. GoGreen is not about a short way for a package, with GoGreen you support projects that compensate the CO2 emissions caused by your package

Hemmik

There are several ways to look at this of course, perhaps it's a different hub in Amsterdam and this way they don't need to put additional cars on the road. Even though it looks very strange it doesn't necessarily have to be like that. I have to agree it doesn't make sense at first sight though.

Hemmik Goeie vraag, ik heb de kaart net binnen. Die overigens wel bezorgd is op de fiets bij ons op kantoor in Rotterdam. Een persoonlijke mening: veel rumoer en harde uittingen vanuit Bunq omtrent deze kaart. Het is een coole kaart maar daar is alles mee gezegd. De kaart bevat geen RFID chip, dus contactloos betalen kun je vergeten. Hiernaast is de levering alles behalve groen.

J-at-bunq

Hier net zo. Nu wachten wanneer ze het land nog eens door gaan voor de uitlevering.

Daar zijn geen bomen tegen te planten 😋

Hemmik

Johannes 🇦🇺 Sounds really backwards to me. Instead of compensating CO2, they should also focus on reducing CO2. I'd rather just come over and collect the card @bunq headquarters in that case! I'm pretty sure mailing the cards with PostNL for customers in the Netherlands would have a smaller footprint..

Mine has just arrived. No SMS, no Mail, first name begins with S, Berlin, Germany
Shipment information received from AMSTERDAM (bunq friday) -> First scan at EINDHOVEN (yesterday) -> BRUSSELS -> LEIPZIG (via AIR?) -> BERLIN

johannes

Hemmik Well, Brussels and Amsterdam are pretty close, I don't think that it is actually that huge of an issue. And having such "main hubs" is generally more efficient than sending 10000 trucks directly from city to city, but it will never be perfect with a normal package, but at least there is compensation :/

Mar

Johannes 🇦🇺 Perhaps, but my route was Amsterdam->Eindhoven->Brussels->Amsterdam.
Doesn’t sound very efficient. 😂

johannes

Martin Well Eindhoven is between Amsterdam and Brussels, so it was just a "quick stop" on it's way to the main hub :D there are probably not a lot of DHL express packages from Amsterdam to Amsterdam or they would build a main hub there :/

Jos-Golden-Unicorn

Johannes 🇦🇺 Mine was Amsterdam -> Eindhoven -> Brussels -> Eindhoven -> Me.....
I think they could skip entire Brussels, but atleast the Green Card now has seen something from the world 🌍

Simon-Magenta-Zebra

Bij mij iets bijzonders aan de hand 🙄

johannes

Simon You can contact DHL or click on "tracking details" to see more about it, we can't really help you here :/

SimonM

Simon Try this: https://www.dhl.com/en/hidden/component_library/express/local_express/dhl_de_tracking/de/sendungsverfolgung_dhlde.html?AWB=JD014600007691579327&brand=DHL looks like it would be delivered today...

JohnDo

Simon don’t worry. I have seen this a few times before... in fact also I have it. It will go away within a few hours and will still be delivered today.

johannes

Jos Eindhoven is probably just a step on the way to the main hub in Brussel, logistics is much more complicated than people might think, but keep in mind that it's also in the interest of DHL to do it as efficient as possible, to save money.

Simon-Magenta-Zebra

Simon M Shipment is on hold for some reason..

Yesterday I read a topic about a ‘sad story in 3 words’. One of them was ‘delivery by DHL’.

I’m part of a sad story now

No email, no SMS, no IAN, yet the card arrived today.

Bunq is really playing with out emotions here. They should be super transparent about this process. It is already delayed and now there is not even any communication.

The card looks nice and sturdy, uses the same packaging as Revolut plain plastic cards!
