FAQ

The questions people ask
before they trust us.

Everything below is how Bylox actually works — pickup, security, retrieval, and what it costs.

Getting started

How a pickup actually works, and what we'll take.

How does pickup work?

Book a pickup online. We bring the bags, boxes or wallets your order needs, QR-tag and photograph each one, and add them to your digital inventory. Consumer Bag/Box pickups run on scheduled zone-days; business Wallet pickups are booked to a slot.

Is my Bylox Box airtight or waterproof?

The box itself isn't sealed inside an airtight container. It gets three-layer protection instead: bubble wrap, a corrugated box, finished with tamper-evident seal tape on the outside. Sealed wallets, by contrast, are stored in airtight plastic containers, and Vault wallets go into secure lockers.

What can I store, and what's not allowed?

Each plan has its own allowed list (see Services): Bag for soft goods & clothes, Box for personal items, and Wallet for business files & documents — with a Vault level for confidential or sensitive ones. Across every plan we never accept cash, gold, jewellery, original property or title documents, hazardous or perishable goods, illegal items, weapons, or living things. Anything a stranger could misuse — a title deed, a share certificate — is best kept as a certified copy with us, with the original safe elsewhere.

Should I store gold, property documents, or other valuables?

No — and that's by design. Our security is strong (biometric access, CCTV, tamper-evident seals, weekly photo logs), but we still don't encourage storing what fraudsters actively target: gold, cash, or original property and title documents. In the wrong hands those are exactly what's used to defraud you, so we simply don't take them. Bylox is built for things that are important to you but valueless to a stranger — your books, records, files, keepsakes, and business archives.

Getting things back

Retrieval, timing, and getting a single item without the rest.

How fast can I get something back?

Standard retrieval is next-business-day in-city. For sealed wallets, scan-on-demand emails you a single file the same day without moving the wallet. If you need faster collection at the start, priority pickup gets you collected within 24h instead of waiting for the next zone-day (priced in your cart).

Can I get back just one item, or do I have to retrieve everything?

Just one is fine. Retrieval is per-item: add the specific wallets or boxes you want back to your retrieval basket and leave the rest in storage. Return delivery is free when you schedule it ahead (a same/next-day return has an express fee); you only pay any daily storage due for what you actually retrieve.

Can I choose when my items are delivered back?

Yes. Tell us your preferred timing when you request a retrieval, or save standing delivery and release preferences under Retrieval conditions in your profile, and we plan the return visit around them.

Can you scan a document instead of returning it?

For sealed wallets, yes: scan-on-demand emails you the file the same day without moving the original. This is never available for Bylox Box or Bylox Bag (physical goods) or Bylox Vault, whose items we never open, even with your consent.

Security & trust

Who can open what, and what happens if something goes wrong.

Are my boxes and wallets insured?

We don't hold a third-party insurance policy. Instead we guarantee compensation directly, no claims process. If a seal is ever found broken without your consent, or an item goes missing due to our error, we pay 10× the monthly charge on any plan — Bag, Box, Wallet, or Vault. For other loss or damage, our liability is capped at the lower of ₹10,000 or your declared value per box, with an optional declared-value upgrade for contents you value more highly. Full terms are in our storage agreement.

How do you verify it's really me before opening or returning anything?

We verify you by mobile OTP before pickup and again before any handover back to you. Digitizing a sealed wallet or destroying any stored item needs a second layer of consent: a fixed PIN you set at signup plus a one-time passcode emailed to you for that specific request. Bylox Vault is never opened by us under any circumstances.

Is it really more secure than a cupboard or godown?

Your boxes and wallets are stored in an access-controlled, professionally managed facility with CCTV and biometric entry on every floor, QR chain-of-custody, and trained staff, not a dusty warehouse.

Is there a minimum number of boxes or wallets?

No minimum for Bylox Bag, Box or Wallet. Start with as few as you like, and add more anytime.

Billing & records

Minimums, retention, destruction, and GST.

Do you handle confidential business records?

Yes. Records are handled by vetted staff under defined processes, stored access-controlled, and never disclosed. For the most sensitive documents, Bylox Vault keeps your wallets in locked lockers, our most secure tier.

How long can records stay, and can you destroy them?

As long as you need. Bylox Wallet is built for multi-year statutory retention. We never destroy anything without your explicit consent (a fixed PIN plus a one-time emailed passcode), and offer secure, certified destruction, fully photologged, when a retention period ends.

What about GST?

All plans attract 18% GST, added on top of the listed price at checkout, the same for individuals and businesses. GST-registered businesses can claim input tax credit, so the effective cost is lower for them.
