To avoid long term storage fees / non-saleable storage fees, the inventory removal requests for aging inventory should be placed by the 25th of every month


3. Return Administration Fee

This fee is charged to the seller for processing items returned by the customer for specific seller-controllable reasons. 
These reasons include items being different from the listing, fake, damaged, defective, used/pre-activated, missing parts, extra items in the order, 
exceptional return cases, and post-RTC.
The fee will be the lesser of 15 AED or 20% of the referral fee for the returned item.

4 Inventory Removal Fee

The Inventory Removal Fee applies when you request items to be shipped back to you. The fee is calculated based on the volumetric weight or physical weight, whichever is higher.

Follow the below listed guidelines to determine the Inventory Removal fee for each item you request for removal from a Namshi fulfillment center depending the retrieval method.

Delivery request:

1. Start by calculating the item's volumetric weight using the following formula:
Volumetric weight (in kg) = Length (cm) x Width (cm) x Height (cm) / 5000

2. Next, identify your product's physical weight in kg.

3. Choose the highest weight (either the volumetric weight or the physical weight). After that, refer to the fees in the below table to multiply the highest weight by the Same-city or the Cross-city Fee, whichever is applicable depending on your shipment transfer mode. Then add the Handling Fee to the total.

 Inventory Removal Fee Calculation Example- Delivery:


Dimensions: 25.2 x 119.9 x 46.6 cm

Unit Physical Weight: 20.6 kg

The volumetric weight = 25.2 x 119.9 x 46.6 / 5000 = 28.16 kg

We'll use the volumetric weight (28.16 kg) because it's higher than the physical weight (20.6 kg).

We'll determine the Inventory Removal fee by multiplying the volumetric weight by the Handling Fee and the Same-city delivery Fee.

Inventory Removal Fee = (28.16 x 1) + 0.3 = 28.46 AED

Collection request

1. Start by calculating the item's volume in cubic feet using the following formula
Cubic feet (CBF)= Length (cm)* Width (cm)* Height (cm)/28317

2. Next refer to the processing fee in the below table. Multiply the processing fee to the cubic feet value of the item. 

3. Lastly add the handling fee as mentioned in the table to get the Inventory Removal fees.

 Inventory Removal Fee Calculation Example- Collection:


Dimensions: 25.2 x 119.9 x 46.6 cm

Cubic feet volume = 25.2 x 119.9 x 46.6 / 28,317 = 4.972 CBF

We'll determine the Inventory Removal fee by multiplying the cubic feet (CBF) by the Processing fees and adding the Handling Fee

Inventory Removal Fee = (4.972 x 0.8) + 0.3 = 4.277 AED

Since this is lower than the minimum fee per request, 15 AED fee will be applicable.
