The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MOCI) has set maximum charges fore-marketing and products delivery to curb unjustified price hike.
The decision was made by the Committee Tasked with Determining Maximum Prices and Profit Ratios No (3) of 2020, said the Ministry in a release. The issuance of this decision falls in line with the Ministry’s keenness to crack down on the unjustified rise in e-marketing and products delivery charges, deter monopolistic practices and commercial fraud, and ensure the consumer’s right to obtain these services at affordable prices.

The maximum service price is 19 percent of the order value imposed by marketing and delivery platforms on the supplier when it comes to marketing and delivery services. The maximum service price is 10 percent of the order value imposed by marketing and delivery platforms on the supplier when it comes to marketing services only.
The decision also stipulated that the maximum delivery charge for consumers is QR10 for delivery services only.

According to the decision, marketing and delivery platforms must maintain the percentages and sums collected from suppliers and consumers prior to the date which appears on the notification letters.
