COD & Delivery Free:

As an organization Ecohoy does not interfere with the decision with respect to offer free delivery or free COD to the customer. As per recent online trends it has been observed that offering free delivery or COD facilities increases the appeal of the product, thereby having a positive impact on sales. Vendor may opt for free delivery, in such case the actual delivery charges will be charged from the vendor, in case they do not opt for the same, the charges will be passed on to the customer and same collected at the time of purchase. The vendor may also choose if COD is being offered for a particular product or not. If COD is being offered the vendor may decide if they want to pass such cost to the customer or absorb the same themselves. Passing COD costs to customers is not a trend which is common in the Indian Market, as such the vendor should be cautious if such costs is being charged from the customer. Shipping Costs and other charges (free delivery & COD) are real time, meaning that at the time of purchase the same is calculated and actual expense charged there by reducing the time for reconciliation and maintaining highest standards of transparency between all stakeholders.

Packaging Dimension & Weight:

To ensure highest accuracy with respect to Shipping Costs and other charges (free delivery & COD), Packaging dimension and packaging weight need to be as accurate as possible. As shipping costs are real time, meaning that at the time of purchase the same is calculated and actual expense charged, any ambiguity in the mentioned dimensions will require the need of reconciliation after actual shipping (as per the actual applicable prices). This will only increase the need of constant reconciliation and need of human intervention. In extreme cases it may also impact the profitability of a vendor as profit is a function of shipping costs along with other costs.
