4 Inventory Removal Fee

The Inventory Removal Fee applies to items you request to be returned from Namshi’s fulfillment center. This fee is calculated based on the higher of the product’s volumetric weight or physical weight.

Delivery Request

Follow these steps to calculate the Inventory Removal Fee for delivery requests:

  1. Calculate the Volumetric Weight
    Use the formula:
    Volumetric Weight (kg) = Length (cm) x Width (cm) x Height (cm) / 5000

  2. Compare with Physical Weight
    Choose the higher value between the volumetric weight and the physical weight.

  3. Calculate Fees
    Multiply the higher weight by the applicable delivery fee (same-city or cross-city) and add the handling fee.

Inventory Removal Fee Calculation Example:

  • Dimensions: 25.2 x 119.9 x 46.6 cm

  • Physical Weight: 20.6 kg

  • Volumetric Weight: (25.2 x 119.9 x 46.6) / 5000 = 28.16 kg (higher than physical weight).

Fee Calculation:

  • Delivery Fee: Volumetric weight x the Handling Fee and the Same-city delivery Fee

            28.16 kg x 1 SAR (same-city) = 28.16 SAR

  • Handling Fee: 0.3 SAR

  • Total Inventory Removal Fee: 28.16 + 0.3 = 28.46 SAR


Collection Request

For collection requests, calculate the fee as follows:

  1. Calculate Volume in Cubic Feet (CBF)
    Use the formula:
    Cubic Feet (CBF) = Length (cm) x Width (cm) x Height (cm) / 28317

  2. Calculate Processing Fees
    Multiply the cubic feet value by the processing fee.

  3. Add Handling Fee
    Add the handling fee to the total.
