Why was my order not delivered/delivery attempt unsuccessful?
Sometimes, an order may be undelivered due to one of the following reasons:
Incorrect Address: If the address is incorrect or outdated, the package is usually returned to the seller by the delivery partner or the unintended recipient.
Other Address Issues: In rare cases, it is also possible that the address label was difficult to decipher during the shipping and handling process, or that the delivery partner left the package at a different address than what was printed on the label.
Failed Delivery Attempts: Most of the delivery partners make more than one attempt to deliver a package. If nobody is available to accept the delivery after multiple attempts, the package is returned to the seller. Please keep your phone handy to ensure the delivery executive can contact you once the order is out for delivery.
Damaged During Transit: If a package is damaged on its way to you, the delivery partner will return it to the seller without attempting delivery.
Logistical issues: Unexpected issues like heavy rain, vehicle breakdown, or government restrictions in an area
Rest assured, delivery partners will make a total of 3 attempts to deliver your order.

However, once your order is shipped and in transit, you can use the delivery partner’s contact details to coordinate a preferred delivery time, depending on their availability. Choosing faster shipping options at checkout may also help in getting your order delivered sooner.
We recommend keeping your phone accessible and tracking your order regularly to ensure a smooth delivery experience.
Can I club my orders from different sellers to be delivered together?
Currently, there is no option to club orders from different sellers to be delivered together as sellers could be located in different locations and the delivery timelines would vary based on the delivery partner. To ensure your items reach you at the earliest, each seller ships their products as per their individual timelines.

Delivery partners make sure that the delivery is re-attempted the next working day if you can't collect your order the first time. Overall, they make a total of 3 attempts to deliver an order.
Why are faster delivery options not available at my location?

As our logistics network expands, faster shipping options may become available for your location in the future.
Why did I receive a new delivery date for my order on the day my order was initially supposed to be delivered?
A new delivery date is provided for certain orders that cannot be delivered by the initial delivery date due to any unexpected issues faced by the delivery partner.
