Cancellation & Refunds — Get My Bag

Welcome — we try to keep packing, pickup and delivery simple & fair. This page explains how cancellations, rescheduling and refunds work for bookings made on getmybag.in (door-step packing & pickup, transit, delivery, courier services, and added services like wrapping and insurance). If you can’t find your situation below, contact us at +91 84313 31977 [email protected]

1. Scope & definitions

  • Booking / Order: Any request made via our Packing Request Form, Scheduling page, phone, WhatsApp or other channels to provide packing, pickup, transit or delivery services.

  • Pickup Date/Time: The scheduled date and time when our crew will arrive at the pickup location.

  • Crew Dispatched: When our team has left to reach your pickup location or has started packing at your location.

  • In-transit: Shipment has left pickup location and is with our transport partner / carrier.

  • Processing Fee: Non-refundable administrative fee charged at booking (example: ₹250).

  • Insurance Premium: Amount paid for optional insurance coverage; insurance refunds follow insurer terms.

2. Cancelling before pickup (customer-initiated)

  • Free cancellation window: Cancel free of charge up to 48 hours before scheduled pickup. If cancelled in this window, we will refund all prepaid service & freight charges minus a non-refundable processing fee (if applicable).

  • Late cancellation (within 48 hours but before crew dispatched): 50% refund of service & freight charges (processing fee non-refundable).

  • Same-day cancellation / within 6 hours of pickup: No refund for service & freight charges (processing fee non-refundable). We may offer reschedule options subject to availability.

Tip: If you need to reschedule, tell us as soon as possible — often rescheduling avoids cancellation fees.

3. If crew is dispatched or packing has started

  • Once our crew has been dispatched or begun packing at your location, the booking is considered in progress. In this case:

    • No refund of packing & labour charges already incurred.

    • If a partial job can be completed and items returned to you, we’ll provide a pro-rata refund for unperformed services where appropriate (determined case-by-case).

    • Any travel/return charges incurred by the crew will be deducted.

4. Cancellation after pickup (shipment already with carrier / in transit)

  • If the shipment has left the pickup location and is in transit:

    • No refund of freight/transport charges.

    • If the shipment is returned to origin due to customer request/refusal, return shipping & handling charges will be deducted from any refund.

    • Insurance premiums are not refundable once the shipment is in transit, except as per insurer terms.

5. COD (Cash on Delivery) specific rules

  • If a shipment is Cash-on-Delivery and the receiver refuses delivery:

    • Return shipment charges, collection fees and any bank/PG charges will be deducted before refunding the shipper.

    • If a COD amount was collected by the carrier and remitted to us, refunds will be processed after reconciliation and deduction of collection charges.

6. Fees & non-refundable items (examples)

  • Processing fee: Non-refundable. (Common amount: ₹250.)

  • Insurance premium: Non-refundable (except where insurer policy allows refund).

  • Wrapping/packing materials actually used: Non-refundable after service performed.

  • Third-party charges (customs, airport handling, duties): Non-refundable; paid to third parties.

  • Taxes: Adjusted per statute and non-refundable if already remitted.

7. Damage, loss & insurance claims

If your items are damaged or lost during our custody or transit, follow this process:

  1. Notify us within 48 hours of delivery (for visible damage) or within 7 days of expected delivery date for missing items. Use email [email protected] and WhatsApp +91 84313 31977.

  2. Provide the following evidence:

    • Booking ID / AWB / Tracking ID.

    • Photos of damaged items and of packaging (if available).

    • Original purchase invoice or proof of item value.

    • Delivery proof (if available) and a brief damage description.

    • Police FIR only if demanded by insurer or if theft is suspected (we’ll advise).

  3. We will acknowledge your claim within 48 business hours and start a claim assessment.

  4. If insured: we will submit claim to the insurer on your behalf and guide you through their process. Insurance claim timelines are governed by the insurer’s terms.

  5. If not insured: our liability is limited to the declared value or a maximum as stated in our T&C (check your booking confirmation for any declared value).

  6. Typical claim resolution time: 7–30 business days, depending on investigation and insurer.

Note: Keep all original packaging and do not discard damaged goods until instructed.

8. Refund processing & timeline

  • Refund method: Refunds are made to the original payment method (card/UPI/bank transfer). If original method is unavailable, we may offer bank transfer after identity verification.

  • Processing time: We initiate refunds within 3–5 business days of approval. Actual posting to your bank/card may take 7–14 business days depending on the bank/PG.

  • Deductions: Any bank/PG charges, collection fees (for COD), return shipping, or third-party fees will be deducted from the refundable amount.

9. Rescheduling (change of pickup date/time)

  • Reschedule requests made 48 hours or more before pickup are free.

  • Same-day reschedules are subject to availability and may incur full-service charges if crew was already dispatched.

10. No-show / inaccessible address

  • If our crew arrives at the pickup location and cannot access the premises (no access, wrong address, no one to handover), we will attempt contact.

  • If unresolved at the time, re-pickup may be scheduled and re-visit charges applied. No refund for missed pickups within 24 hours of scheduled time.

11. Force majeure & events outside our control

  • We are not liable for cancellations, delays, or failures caused by events beyond our control (strikes, natural disasters, government actions, carrier failures, airport/rail closures). We will attempt to offer alternatives or refunds where feasible, but full refunds may not be possible if third-party costs have been incurred.
