Both the crossdock B2B and Fulfillment by noon business models require transfers of stock between you and noon.
In the event that there are discrepancies during this transfer process you can address them with us via the disputes mechanism.
You raise disputes for transfers within 7 days of the completion of the transfer.
In the event of dispute relating to a return transfer you will need to receive it first before you can raise a dispute.
Types of Dispute
If you think that there is a unit which you should be paid for or returned back to you, you may raise a dispute with noon. These disputes will be raised in the form of tickets to our seller support which will coordinate and confirm receipt of these tickets. There are 2 types of disputes which you can raise.
Transfers
Disputes raised under Transfers will be for the forward flow of units from you to noon.
Below are reasons you can raise disputes on:
- Wrong unit received by noon - If you feel that you had sent a different unit from what noon has received, you may raise a dispute ticket
- Unit not received by noon - If you feel you have sent a unit/s to noon and we haven't acknowledged it in any form, you may raise a dispute ticket
Returns
