E-commerce company Amazon is now charging its customers a marketplace fee on orders, which is up to Rs 5 per order. According to Amazon, the marketplace fee is a flat fee that enables Amazon to provide convenient access to a large range of products from millions of sellers to customers. According to Amazon, this fee is not refundable, and this fee is applicable to every customer.
Nowadays, online orders are surging, whether it's groceries, a fridge or a TV. Along with this, almost every e-commerce company is offering a 10-minute delivery service to its customers, and the goods are being delivered to people's homes within 10 minutes of ordering.
Meanwhile, many e-commerce companies are adding different types of charges to their bills. These charges are so high that customers now have to pay an additional 30 to 50 rupees on every order. Now, e-commerce company Amazon has started levying a new charge on its users.
This includes handling charge, which is fixed on every order. This charge ranges from about 10 to 21 rupees. Apart from this, many charges like GST, small cart fee, rain fee, platform fee handling charge, and delivery charge are included. This will make Amazon purchases quite expensive.
