Cash Refunds Delivered by Our Authorized Delivery Agents
For your security and convenience, all approved refunds are issued exclusively in cash and delivered directly to the receiver’s address by our authorized delivery agent.
5.1 How the Cash Refund Process Works:
-
Scheduling the Delivery:
Our delivery agent will contact the receiver to arrange a suitable time for the cash refund delivery. -
Identity Verification:
The receiver must present a valid government-issued photo ID and sign a Refund Receipt upon receiving the cash. -
Authorized Collection:
If the receiver is unavailable, an authorized representative may collect the refund by presenting:-
A signed authorization letter from the receiver.
-
Valid identification matching the name on the authorization letter.
-
-
Security Measures:
-
Our delivery agents will present official company identification and a company-issued Refund Receipt for your records.
-
Refunds will only be handed to the designated receiver or their authorized representative, as per the original shipment order.
-
-
No Bank Transfers or Online Refunds:
To ensure maximum security and minimize fraud, we do not process refunds through bank transfers, credit cards, or online payment platforms.
6. Refund Processing Timeline
-
Once your refund is approved, cash refunds are typically delivered within 3-5 business days, depending on the receiver’s location and availability.
-
In rare cases, such as remote delivery addresses or high-risk areas, delivery may take up to 7 business days. You will be kept informed throughout the process.

Please ensure that the receiver’s address and contact information provided at the time of shipment are accurate and up to date.
