The present invention relates to a method for uniformly filling a relatively large container (5) with relatively delicate products, wherein the products are supplied at a first level using a feed conveyor (17), and these products are transferred by means of a guiding device which guides the products in restrained manner from the first level to a second level, wherein at the second level the products are released into a distributing device (2) for distribution in the container. The invention further relates to a guiding device (3) for guiding products from a feed conveyor, comprising: - at least one transfer member (11) comprising means for receiving the products at a speed which can be adjusted to the speed of the feed conveyor, - a guide member (12) which is arranged substantially along a part of the outside of the transfer member for guiding the products in the transfer member.
