Managing a customer's answer

Updated over 3 months ago

Once you’ve notified the owner of the lost item, they will be able to choose from 4 possible responses:

  • Send it to the address of my choice

  • Collect it on site

  • Abandon my item

  • This item does not belong to me

You’ll receive a reply by email, and a card will appear in your TO DO tab.


What to do depending on the response?


The item needs to be sent

Prepare a shipment

  1. Go to the "TO DO" tab in your PeeK'in account

  2. Click on the card for the item in the “Shipping” column

  3. Prepare the parcel 📦

    • Place the item in the selected packaging

    • Click on “Print marketing message”

    • Insert it into the parcel

If the item is fragile (e.g. glasses, smartphone, tablet, etc.), use a parcel. First place it in a padded envelope and make sure to protect it well with offcuts
If the item is not very fragile (e.g. cuddly toys, clothes), a foam enveloppe or pouch is perfectly suitable.

Print the shipping documents

  • Click on the “Print shipping documents ” button

  • Then place it in the document holder on the packaging

For international shipments, don’t forget to add 3 copies behind the delivery note in the document holder. This will be requested during customs clearance.

Hand the parcel to the carrier

The parcel is now ready to be sent to the recipient.
Two options depending on your client’s choice:

  1. Express shipping (FedEx...): hand the parcel to the carrier who will come on the date shown on the item card.

  2. Economy shipping (Royal Mail): drop it off at your nearest post office or collection point.

Once the parcel is sent, click “Confirm pickup”.
The item card will disappear from your “TO DO” tab as you no longer have any actions to complete.


Track the parcel

Want to check the delivery status?

  • Go back to the item card via the “Lost Items” tab

  • Click “Track parcel”

  • You’ll be redirected to the carrier’s tracking page

This link is also sent to the customer so they can follow delivery themselves.

The parcel has been delivered. Great news! 🎉

Once delivered, the item card will reappear in the “Shipping – To close” column to keep you informed.
Click “Close” to finalise the management of the item.


Prepare an on-site collection

  1. Go to the “TO DO” tab in your PeeK'in account

  2. Click on the item card in the “Collect” column

Prepare the item for return

  • Retrieve the item from your stock using its Reference

  • Click on the “Print the proof of owner” button

  • Leave it ready for the designated collection day

The date and time of the collection, as well as the name (owner or representative) of the person coming to collect, are listed at the top of the item card.

Hand over the item in person

It’s collection day. The item’s owner or their representative arrives at your reception to collect their item:

  • Ask them to fill in the pre-prepared certificate

  • Hand over the item

  • Click “Confirm hand delivery” to close the item’s case

Well done, you’ve just made a customer happy! 👏


The owner has chosen to abandon the item

Destock an item

The owner does not wish to collect this item. The item card appears in the “Destocking” column of your TO DO tab.

There are several ways to remove it from your stock:

  1. Individual destocking:

    • Click on the item card in the “Destock” column

    • Then click on “Destock item”

  2. Bulk destocking:

    • Click “Print list” to facilitate physical removal

    • Then click “Destock abandoned items” to destock all items in the column at once in PeeK'in


The person notified is not the item’s owner

The client you notified is not the owner of the item. The card appears in the “Notification – To restart” column of your TO DO tab.

You have two options:

  1. You know who the correct owner is (maybe there was confusion with another guest) and want to notify them

  2. You don’t know who the owner is

You want to notify someone else

Change the owner's details 🕵️‍♀️

  • Click on the item card

  • Then click “Reset owner information”

  • Update the contact details (First name, Last name, Phone, Email) with those of the new person to notify

  • Click “Save”

  • Then click “Yes” to notify them

Now just wait for their response.

You don’t know who the owner is

  • Click on the item card

  • Then click “Reset owner information”

  • Click on “Unknown owner”

  • Then click “Save”

The item will now appear as having no contact information.
If the owner calls you, you’ll find the item in the “Found Items” tab.
