Avoiding Handover Penalties

The safest habit is to hand over the same day you mark items ready to ship, well inside the SLA. If pickups are unreliable in your area, keep proof of manifesting so a courier delay isn't counted against you. Chronic late handovers stack penalties and reduce your visibility.

If a pickup keeps failing, see Meesho pickup not done. A tool like TrackEcom does this automatically — it reconciles every order, flags each deduction, and shows your real per-order profit so nothing slips through.
