Shipping Policy – Rafiia
This Shipping Policy describes the delivery procedures for orders placed through the Rafiia platform. It applies to users, partner merchants, and delivery drivers using the platform.
1. Rafiia’s Role in Shipping
Rafiia is a technology platform that connects:
-
customers
-
merchants
-
delivery drivers or transportation providers
Order delivery may be carried out:
-
directly by the merchant,
-
by an independent delivery driver using the Rafiia platform, or
-
by a third-party logistics partner.
Rafiia coordinates and facilitates the connection between parties but does not directly perform the physical delivery of products.
2. Delivery Areas
Delivery areas depend on several factors:
-
the merchant’s location
-
the availability of delivery drivers
-
local logistical conditions
Each merchant may define:
-
their delivery zones
-
applicable delivery fees
-
estimated delivery times
This information is clearly displayed in the application before the order is confirmed.
3. Delivery Times
Delivery times may vary depending on:
-
the distance between the merchant and the customer
-
the availability of delivery drivers
-
the nature of the ordered product
-
traffic or weather conditions
Estimated delivery times:
-
Local delivery: 30 minutes to 2 hours
-
Intra-city delivery: same day
-
Intercity delivery (if available): 24 to 72 hours
The indicated delivery times are estimates and may vary depending on actual conditions.

real-time demand on the platform
Delivery fees are always displayed before the final confirmation of the order.
6. Order Tracking

through tracking information provided by the delivery driver

9. Merchant Responsibility
Partner merchants are responsible for:
-
the quality of the products sold
-
the correct preparation of orders
-
the proper packaging of products
Rafiia acts solely as a technological intermediary between the parties.
10. Delivery Driver Responsibility
Delivery drivers using the Rafiia platform are responsible for:
-
properly collecting the order from the merchant
-
transporting the order under appropriate conditions
-
delivering the order to the address provided by the customer
Delivery drivers are considered independent contractors and are not employees of Rafiia.
Therefore:
-
Rafiia does not assume direct responsibility for actions, negligence, or delays attributable to delivery drivers.
-
Any complaint may be reviewed by the support team to help facilitate dispute resolution.
11. Proof of Delivery
To secure transactions and prevent disputes, some deliveries may require proof of delivery.
This proof may include:
-
a photo of the delivered package
-
the customer’s signature
-
a confirmation code
-
confirmation within the application
These elements may be used by Rafiia to verify the successful completion of the delivery in case of disputes.
