A method of transferring packing units from a receiving station to a stack building station includes the steps of delivering the packing units to the receiving station in a plurality of rows and in a plurality of tracks in a conveying direction, accepting the packing units in a plurality of rows and in a plurality of tracks at a transfer apparatus, removing all packing units of desired properties from a first row not only including packing units of desired properties, storing the at least one packing unit of desired properties, and positioning the at least one stored packing unit of desired properties in a row following the first row, so that only rows of packing units of desired properties are collected at the stack building station. A transfer apparatus ( ) for transferring packing units ( ) according to the novel method includes a receiving station ( ), a conveying device ( ), a detecting device ( ), a storing station ( ) including at least one storing location ( ) and being designed and arranged to store at least one packing unit ( ) of desired properties and to feed the at least one stored packing unit ( ) of desired properties into an empty space of one of the tracks to from a complete row, an observing device ( ), a processor ( ), a control device ( ), and a stack building station ( ).
