Yes, you will have to pay Rs. 2000/- as refundable security deposit the first time you schedule a shipment. 

3. Why do I have to pay Rs. 2000 deposit? 

When you schedule a shipment, you pay according to the weight that you have entered. When the courier company measures the weight of the consignment at their hub and in cases where there is a discrepancy between the weights, the difference amount is billed on a monthly basis. Once the monthly bill is sent to you, the bill needs to be cleared within 7 working days. Back when we did not charge the security deposit, we had several cases the client refused to pay the pending amount and we had to pay the courier company  ourselves. This resulted in financial losses for us. To make sure that we have a buffer amount in such situations, Zepo charges the Rs. 2000/- to protect our interests in such situations. 

Packaging and Weight calculation

1. How do I weigh my Package accurately?

In order to get an approximation of the actual chargeable weight of your product, you need to measure its physical as well as volumetric weight.

The calculation for volumetric weight is as follows :-

Air shipment

L x B x H (in cm) / 5000

Surface shipment using Fedex

L x B x H (in cm) / 4500

Surface shipment using DotZot

L x B x H (in cm) / 4750

* L - Length;  B- Breadth; H - Height

The volumetric weight should be compared with the physical weight of the shipment and the higher weight is used to calculate the shipping cost (actual chargeable weight).

This actual chargeable weight is determined/finalized when the shipment reaches the courier companies warehouse.

For example, a pillow is light but occupies more space as opposed to a book which is heavy but occupies less space. Hence, even though they are the same weight, the pillow might cost more to ship than the book due to the difference in volumetric weight. 

2. How should I pack my items before shipping?

We advise you to follow some basic guidelines:

  • Make sure the box or bag you use is suitable for the contents you are sending and use a strong tape to seal it.Use fillers like crumpled newspaper, bubble wrap and other cushioning material to protect your items.

  • And finally, make sure that you do not have any labels on your box apart from the ones generated from the dashboard.

  • It is advisable to try to reduce the size of the final package which will in turn reduce the volumetric weight of your shipment.

  • Please note that your shipments should be well packed as any damage caused to due improper packaging will not be entertained in case of a claim.
