Template-ready policy
Review and adapt this page for each courier company before launch.
This policy is provided as standard website copy for courier operations. Client-specific legal, tax, payment, claim, insurance, and regulatory requirements should be reviewed before publication.
Returned Parcels
A parcel may be returned if delivery is unsuccessful, the receiver refuses the parcel, the receiver is unreachable, the address is incorrect, COD cannot be collected, the delivery is cancelled, or the shipment violates service rules.
Return charges may apply at the same or applicable route rate unless a separate merchant agreement states otherwise.
Refunds of Delivery Charges
Delivery charges are generally non-refundable once pickup, sorting, dispatch, delivery attempt, or return processing has started.
A refund or billing correction may be considered if a charge was applied incorrectly, a duplicate charge was created, or a service issue qualifies under a written agreement or approved claim process.
COD Adjustments
COD settlement may be adjusted for delivery charge, COD fee, return charge, refund, cancellation, dispute, customer payment issue, claim, billing correction, or other approved deduction.
Merchants should review settlement reports and contact support promptly if an adjustment appears incorrect.
Damage, Loss, and Claims
Claims for damaged, missing, or lost parcels must be submitted with shipment ID, merchant details, receiver details, item information, proof of value, packaging evidence, and relevant photos or documents.
Claims may be rejected if the parcel was poorly packed, restricted, misdeclared, uninsured, submitted late, missing evidence, or outside the applicable agreement.
Claim Review Timeline
Claim review timelines vary based on parcel status, hub investigation, delivery agent report, merchant documentation, receiver confirmation, and third-party verification when needed.
