What happens to your donation at DAS KAUFHAUS?
After your donation arrives at the logistics center, it gets sorted first: by gender and also by quality. Then the goods are prepared for further transport to the different locations of DAS KAUFHAUS and in the respective locations the price is determined, which depends on quality and condition. If the goods are seasonal, they get stored, until the time is right to put them out on the shop space.
It all sounds quick and easy, but of course there are a number of employees involved in this process – on average up to 30 people. Sounds like a lot? People are needed for picking up the goods, sorting, picking, delivery and storage. This fact also flows into the price composition at DAS KAUFHAUS, because all these people are getting paid, of course. Therefore, the prices of individual pieces may vary depending on the brand and quality, as well as the costs for transportation and storage.
