This
comprehensive guide outlines Noon’s packing guidelines for DirectShipping,
ensuring the safe transit and delivery of products to customers. Adhering to
these guidelines is vital for maintaining Noon's commitment to quality and
customer satisfaction.
General
Packaging Guidelines and examples
Use
only Noon-provided or printed QR codes on each package. Avoid using
multiple QR codes to prevent confusion.
Ensure
the correctness of the item's brand, color, and model.
·All items in Noon packages must be securely sealed.
·For items that fit within noon packaging, please use noon
packaging materials. For items that do not fit, ensure they are properly
shrink-wrapped or bubble-wrapped, and use noon-branded tape along with the QR
code on the wrapping.
·Use 'fragile' or 'liquid' stickers when applicable.
·Bulk items also must be shrink-wrapped properly, and noon brand tape should be used along with the QR code on the wrapping.
·Multiple items for a single order can be packed together if
within the size and weight limits; otherwise, they must be shipped separately.
For
shipments exceeding size or weight limits (130cm x 50cm x 50cm or 30kg),
logistics won’t accept them, and a cancellation fee may apply (click here for more details).

My item broke after I packed it. What should I do?
A: If you have another unit of the same SKU, you can repack
it. The pending orders will show the shipment as generated, allowing you to
reprint the QR code and attach it to the new package.
If you don’t have a replacement unit, mark the item as lost.
Please note that a cancellation fee will apply.
Application of QR code sticker.
The packing pouches for your order will eventually have the QR Label pre-printed on the packing material. We recommend you not to apply a secondary QR code on the shipment as each shipment should have only one QR code.
However, incase the QR code printed on the packing material is un-scannable or doesn't work you need to apply a QR code sticker on top
of the pre-printer QR label on packing pouches. Please refer to the images to understand how to apply or use the QR code.
Return Items Accountability and Dispute Resolution for Non
delivered items
