5. Shipping Charges
Shipping charges are calculated based on origin pincode, destination pincode, weight (or volumetric weight, whichever is higher), service type (Surface / Express), and COD value. Charges are auto-debited from the seller's Dropzo wallet at the time of label generation.
6. COD (Cash on Delivery)
COD orders attract an additional COD fee (flat fee or % of order value, whichever is higher) as per the rate card. COD amounts are collected by the courier and remitted to your bank account on a weekly cycle.
7. NDR (Non-Delivery Reports)
If a delivery attempt fails (customer unavailable, address incorrect, refused, etc.), the shipment goes into NDR. You will receive a notification on the dashboard and can take action (re-attempt, update address, or RTO) within 72 hours. After 72 hours, the courier will auto-RTO the shipment.
8. RTO (Return to Origin)
RTO charges as per the published rate card are debited from the wallet. The shipment is returned to the vendor / pickup warehouse address. The forward shipping charge is not refunded for RTO shipments.
9. Tracking
Every shipment gets a unique AWB number that can be tracked from your dashboard or via the public tracking page dropzo.co. Tracking updates are pulled from the courier in near real-time.
