There are several hassles in running a business. Having an eCommerce store does not necessarily mean every problem will also be online. There are much more severe, tangible problems that business owners/ managers face.
One such problem is when the product gets lost. Maybe it got lost in transit due to service failure or some other reason, it becomes a seller’s reason for worry.
At Shiprocket, we strive to keep our sellers happy and satisfied with our services, including processing total loss refunds.
What is Total Loss?
Total loss is the stage where the courier company has marked the package lost after a certain number of days from their end.
In case of a total loss, Shiprocket returns* the entire amount back to the seller in 10 working days.
Below is an example of how Shiprocket helped Vijay, owner of an online electronics store from Ranthambore, Rajasthan, to process his order in a situation of total loss. Listen to the conversation below.
* only if blanket cover is activated.

Seller: Yeah, Hi, I am Vijay from Dream Computers. I have had it with Shiprocket yaar. I had shipped an order with you guys way back on 20th March. The customer cancelled the order because he wanted a different product, so ek hafte ke baad on the 26th, my package was marked as RTO. Ab aap log kya hi karte ho pata nahi.. it’s been more than two months, and I have still not received my package back.
