Paperfly, one of the country’s largest logistic networks, sent a legal notice to controversial e-commerce company Evaly on Monday over Tk 70 million dues.
Rahath Ahmed, co-founder and chief marketing officer of Paperfly Ltd, told The Bussines Post that they had not been paid since January.
“We dedicatedly provided them service for a very long time. Evaly did not respond to multiple attempts to resolve the payment issue. So, we sent them a legal notice as a warning. The next step will be to take legal action against the company,” he added.
Earlier, in two different submissions to the commerce ministry, Evaly informed that they owe Tk 311 crore to customers and Tk 206 crore to the merchants.
Evaly got the money in advance payments by luring people with heavy discounts on products on its site and promising delivery in 7-45 days. Many buyers are yet to receive the items they had ordered.
And the refund cheques given to customers have bounced because of an insufficient fund in Evaly’s bank account.
Meanwhile, the Anti-Corruption Commission has written to several government organisations seeking related documents on Evaly.
