Online shopping has become really popular these days. When we want to buy something, we don't even have to step outside. We can simply use our phones to place an order. And if we end up not liking what we get, we usually have the option to cancel the order without any hassle. However, that might change soon for those who shop on Flipkart.
Cancellation Charges Are Coming!
According to reports, Flipkart, one of the largest online shopping sites in India, is planning to start charging fees when customers cancel certain orders. This is a change from their current policy, where customers can cancel without any charges. In the near future, if you want to cancel your order, you may have to pay a fee, and this fee will depend on the price of the item you ordered.
An internal message from Flipkart suggests that this decision is meant to help sellers and delivery partners cover the costs and time they lose when orders are canceled. The cancellation fees will kick in after a specific time frame during which you can cancel freely.
Myntra responded to India TV, stating, "Myntra is not charging any fees, and the screenshots on Twitter are fake and not from the Myntra app." However, we did not receive any comment on this matter from Flipkart.
Why This Change?
While Flipkart hasn't officially announced this policy yet, sources indicate that the new rules are being introduced to prevent fraud and reduce losses for sellers on their platform. This change might also apply to Myntra, another shopping site that falls under the same parent company as Flipkart.
In short, if you enjoy online shopping, it’s important to be aware of these new rules that might affect how you cancel orders in the future.
