For all shipments, the SLC for each shipment will be 30 calendar days from date of pick-up of such shipment by us. This policy will be applicable to all shipments shipped by you for delivery on or after 1st August 2019. For the purposes of this policy, ‘you’ refers to the seller and ‘we’ refers to our Courier Partner.

Note: Except for Exceptional Cases, Shipment in scan date (i.e. date when we pick-up the shipment from seller to be delivered to the buyer) is to be considered as day 0 and in the event of any failed delivery of shipment, all such undelivered deliveries will be returned to the seller on or before 10:00 PM on the 30 th day from the date of pick-up.

  1. 1. Exceptions Cases

    This 30 days policy will not be applicable in case of any delay due to any force majeure event or reasons beyond our reasonable control. We will endeavour to provide updated and send prior communication to you regarding delays (if any).

      Delivery of Shipment to Buyer:

      We will attempt to deliver the shipment to the buyer for a maximum of 3 attempts. Note: Number of attempts will be less than three in cases, including without limitation where

      1. Buyer refuses to accept the shipment in 1st or 2nd attempt to deliver the shipment;

      2. Address not found despite 2 attempts to deliver the shipment; or

      3. Buyer asks to hold the shipment for more than 5 days.

      Note: In the event we receive a request from you or the buyer to hold the shipment, we may do so only for a maximum period of 5 days from the date of last attempt to deliver the shipment subject to availability of space in our hub. We may in our sole and absolute discretion accept or decline your or the buyer’s request to hold the shipment. In case we decline your or buyer’s request to hold shipment, we shall consider the same as a RTO and return the shipment to you.

      In certain exceptional scenarios where, the buyer has entered wrong pin code or delivery location is in a non-serviceable zone i.e. where we are not able to delivery due to unforeseen circumstances, those shipments will not be attempted to buyer and the same will be returned back to you.

    Except for Exceptional Cases, if you do not receive the RTO within the defined SLC due to reasons solely attributable to us, we will pay you the amount equivalent to the amount you would have received from the buyer in case of successful delivery of such RTO.

    Please note that in case the RTO delivery attempt happened on or before the 30th day where we were unable to deliver the RTO to you due to your unavailability, or where you rejected the delivery of such shipment, we will endeavor on a good faith basis to re-attempt delivery of such RTO and we shall not assume any liability to make payments to you for such RTO.
