Paperfly, one of the largest tech-bound logistic networks of Bangladesh, sent a legal notice to e-commerce company Evaly over Tk 70 million dues on Monday.
Rahath Ahmed, co-founder and chief marketing officer of Paperfly Ltd, confirmed the matter to The Business Post.
He said the dues, starting from January, were causing them great suffering.
“We provided them service with dedication for a very long time. But now, we are standing at the brink of our patience. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue, Evaly did not respond to any of our queries. Therefore, we have 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 owed Tk 311 crore to customers and Tk 206 crore to merchants.
Evaly allegedly got the money in advance payments by luring people with heavy discount offers on products on its site and promising delivery in 7-45 days. Buyers, however, are yet to receive the items they ordered.
The refund cheques given to customers had bounced as well because of an insufficient fund in the company’s bank account.
Meanwhile, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has written to several government organisations seeking related documents on Evaly.
