Please note: Blink Dispatch reserves the right to withhold the refund to the extent of any amounts outstanding or owed by you under the Service Agreement. The refund will be processed only after all outstanding dues are settled.

CLAUSE 5.2

Shipping Charge Deductions

Shipping charges are deducted from your Wallet at the moment of booking a shipment. Additional charges are applied as and when they arise during the shipment lifecycle.

At Booking

The shipping charge displayed on the rate calculator is deducted immediately when you book a shipment. This amount is confirmed at the time of booking and will not be altered retrospectively.

Weight Discrepancy Charges

If the courier partner records a higher weight than declared, the difference in shipping charge is deducted from your Wallet when the discrepancy is processed.

RTO (Return to Origin) Charges

If a shipment cannot be delivered and is returned to you, RTO charges are deducted at the same rate as the applicable forward shipment charge for that AWB.

COD Fees

Cash on Delivery handling fees are deducted as COD orders are processed. Rates: ₹50 flat for orders up to ₹2,000; 3% of COD amount for orders above ₹2,000.

In the event of insufficient Wallet balance, these charges may result in a negative Wallet balance. See the Negative Balance Recovery section below for details.

CLAUSE 8

Weight Dispute Charges

Shipping charges are calculated on the weight recorded by the courier partner — whichever is higher between actual weight and volumetric weight (L × B × H in cm ÷ 5000). If there is a discrepancy, you have a window to contest it.

1

Charge is Uploaded

The courier partner uploads the revised weight on the platform. A hold is placed on your wallet for the disputed amount (we add a 15% markup on the courier's charge).

2

7-Day Dispute Window Opens

You have 7 days from the upload date to raise a dispute. Disputes submitted after this window are not entertained and the charge becomes final.

3

Submit Mandatory Evidence

To file a valid dispute you must submit all of the following:

  • Photograph of the packed & sealed shipment with AWB label visible, taken before courier handover
  • Photo/video of shipment on a calibrated weighing scale showing AWB and weight simultaneously
  • Photographs showing all three dimensions (L × B × H) with measuring tape clearly in frame
  • Copy of the original invoice or product description
4

Resolution

Blink Dispatch will raise the dispute with the courier partner on your behalf. The final decision lies with the courier partner. Once issued, the matter is closed with no further escalation for that AWB.

Pro tip: Always photograph and video-record every shipment — packed, sealed, labelled, and weighed — before handover. Evidence collected after handover is not valid for dispute resolution.

CLAUSE 6

COD Remittance

T+2
Remittance basis
Every Sunday
Processing day
NEFT
Transfer method

For COD shipments, the courier partner collects payment from your customer. Blink Dispatch remits this amount to your registered bank account every Sunday on a T+2 basis ("T" = date delivery is confirmed by the courier partner).

Remittance Cycle Example

COD amounts for shipments confirmed delivered on or before Friday of any week (where T+2 falls on or before Sunday) will be remitted that Sunday. Deliveries confirmed on Saturday or Sunday carry over to the following Sunday's cycle, as T+2 falls on Monday or Tuesday of the next week.

Your registered bank account must be in your individual name or registered business name (for current accounts). COD will not be remitted to accounts in any other name.

Any change in bank account details must be communicated to Blink Dispatch in writing at least 7 days before the expected remittance date.

Blink Dispatch reserves the right to adjust any amounts owed by you (outstanding shipping charges, weight dispute charges, etc.) directly against COD remittances.

CLAUSE 7

Negative Balance Recovery

A negative Wallet balance can arise if weight discrepancy charges, RTO charges, or other deductions exceed your available Wallet balance at the time of deduction.

1

COD Adjustment First

If your Wallet goes negative, Blink Dispatch will first adjust the outstanding amount against any COD remittances payable to you, without prior notice.

2

15-Day Written Notice

If the negative balance cannot be fully recovered through COD adjustment, a written notice will be sent to your registered email address. You must pay the full outstanding amount within 15 days from the date of that notice.

3

Recovery Proceedings

If payment is not made within 15 days and the balance is not under an active documented dispute, Blink Dispatch may initiate recovery proceedings including arbitration. If a valid dispute is raised within the 15-day period, the recovery timeline is paused pending resolution.

CLAUSE 14.3

Account Termination & Final Refund

On Account Closure

  • All amounts outstanding from you become immediately due and payable upon termination.
  • Wallet balance refunds are processed per Clause 5.3 — after adjusting all outstanding dues.
  • Shipments already in transit will be handled to completion by the assigned courier partner.
  • Charges for in-transit shipments will be deducted from your Wallet or invoiced accordingly.

Termination Notice

Either party may terminate the service agreement by providing 30 days' written notice via email to the registered email address.

Blink Dispatch reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate an account (without prior notice) in cases of agreement breach, suspected fraud, prohibited item shipments, unpaid negative balance beyond 15 days, or actions that expose Blink Dispatch to legal or reputational risk.

IMPORTANT

Non-Refundable Items

Shipping Charges

Shipping charges deducted at the time of booking are non-refundable once the shipment has been handed over to the courier partner. This includes the base shipping charge, regardless of whether the shipment is delivered or returned.

RTO Charges

Return to Origin (RTO) charges apply when a shipment cannot be delivered and is returned to you. These are charged at the same rate as the forward shipment and are not refundable.

Cancelled Bookings

Shipment bookings that have been manifested (AWB generated and accepted by courier) cannot be cancelled for a refund. Contact us via WhatsApp before handover if you need to cancel.

Penalty Charges

Penalties levied for violations (e.g., manual/handwritten AWB: ₹1,000 per AWB) are non-refundable. Ensure compliance with platform guidelines to avoid penalties.
