What are the delivery charges?

Delivery charges varies with each Seller. Sellers incur relatively higher shipping costs on low value items. In such cases charging a nominal delivery charge helps them offset logistics costs. Please check your order summary to understand the delivery charges for individual products.

Why does the delivery date not correspond to the delivery timelines of X-Y business days?

It is possible that the Seller or courier partners have a holiday between the day your placed yur order and the date of delivery, which is base on the timelines shown on the product page. In this case, we add a day to the estimated date. Some courier partners and Sellers do not work on Sundays and this is factored in to the delivery dates.

      3. Seller does not respond to the inquiry calls and/or communication through other modes sent by us to procure missing documentation, proof, and information in support of Seller's claim from the Seller; in such cases Seller's dispute will be settled against the Seller.

In such cases, within forty eight (48) hours of resolution of Seller's dispute, we shall deduct and adjust the value of the returned product (in case the amount for such Shipment has already been transferred to the Seller) from Seller's sale proceeds that are collected by us from the Buyer(s) or any other amounts that we are required to pay to the Seller; or

2. in Seller's favour, if it is concluded by us that document/ proof/ information submitted by Seller along with Seller's dispute are sufficient to justify Seller's claim and match with Evidences collected by us, then we will approve Seller's dispute. While remitting the monies to the Seller in relation to the claims approved herein, we reserve a right to charge a fee ("Claim Processing Fee") for remitting the amount of refund to the Seller. The Claim Processing Fee shall be deducted from the total amount of the refund to be remitted to the Seller.
