E-commerce festive season squeezes seller margins with higher fees, penalties

Amazon and Flipkart have revised cancellation penalties and logistics fees ahead of the festive season, impacting seller margins. Flipkart charges flat fees for delays and cancellations, while Amazon links penalties to order value. Rising logistics costs add to the burden.

Why it matters

Textile and apparel sellers on e-commerce platforms should factor in higher cancellation fees and logistics costs when planning festive season inventory and pricing.

IRDAI extends feedback deadline for insurance distribution reforms

IRDAI has extended the deadline for feedback on proposed insurance distribution reforms to October 31 after receiving over 650 comments. The reforms aim to cap commissions and lower expense limits but face opposition from brokers.

Why it matters

Textile MSMEs should monitor IRDAI’s final norms, as tighter credit insurance rules may affect trade finance costs.

E-commerce platforms hike fees, penalties ahead of festive season

Amazon and Flipkart have increased penalties for late dispatches and cancellations, along with new fees on every order. Delhivery has also added a surcharge for D2C brands. These changes impact sellers, especially those handling low-value orders, amid rising production and fulfilment costs.

Why it matters

Textile and apparel sellers on e-commerce platforms should review their dispatch timelines and cost structures to avoid penalties.
