The Gurgaon consumer commission recently decided that charging consumers Rs 30 for three carry bags is an unfair trade practice and this amounts to deficiency in service. President Sanjeev Jindal and Members Smt. Jyoti Siwach and Smt. Khushwinder Kaur of the Gurgaon consumer commission said that Sub Section 5 of Section 36 of the Sale of Goods Act 1930, clearly states that unless otherwise agreed, the seller is responsible for the costs associated with making the goods ready for delivery.
So, according to legal provision, all costs related to packaging And similiar expenses should be borne by the vendor (shop) to ensure the goods are ready for delivery.
