Introduction

This Shipping and Delivery Policy outlines the terms, timelines, and methods involved in the shipment and delivery of toy products offered through the online platform. It aims to establish transparent expectations regarding the processing, handling, and dispatching of purchased items. The policy ensures that all customers understand the procedures, options, and responsibilities related to their orders.

Order Processing and Handling

Order Confirmation

Upon successful placement of an order, the system automatically generates an order confirmation. This confirmation serves as an acknowledgment that the request has been received and entered into the fulfillment queue. It does not indicate acceptance or confirmation of shipment.

Order Verification

Before processing, all orders undergo standard verification procedures for security, payment authorization, inventory availability, and address validation. Orders may be held temporarily if discrepancies are detected or if manual inspection is required.

Processing Timeline

Orders are generally processed within 1–3 business days. During high-volume periods such as holidays, sales campaigns, or new product launches, processing may take up to 5 business days.

Business Hours

Processing and dispatching activities are conducted only during regular business hours, excluding weekends and public holidays. Orders placed outside operating hours are addressed on the following business day.

Shipping Methods

Standard Shipping

Standard shipping is the default delivery method. It ensures delivery within 5–10 business days, depending on the customer’s geographic location and regional accessibility.

Expedited Shipping

Expedited shipping options are available for customers seeking faster delivery. Depending on the service provider and region, expedited shipping may reduce the delivery timeframe to 2–5 business days.

Express Shipping

Express shipping is designed for urgent orders and typically ensures delivery within 1–3 business days. This option is available in select areas and subject to carrier limitations.

Local and Regional Couriers

In addition to national carriers, local and regional delivery partners may be used for quicker last-mile fulfillment. Delivery times may vary depending on the courier’s service range and logistics capabilities.

Shipping Charges

Rate Calculation

Shipping charges are calculated based on the delivery method, order value, total weight, and destination. The shipping fee is displayed during checkout before the final confirmation of the purchase.

Free Shipping Eligibility

Orders that meet certain promotional or minimum-value criteria may qualify for free standard shipping. Eligibility varies based on the location, order value, and product type.

Additional Fees

Remote area surcharges, oversized package fees, or delivery address corrections may incur additional charges. These charges are determined by the logistics provider and disclosed where applicable.

Delivery Zones and Coverage

Domestic Delivery

All major cities and towns within the country are covered. Deliveries to rural and remote locations may experience longer transit times or limited courier access.

International Shipping

International shipping is available for select countries. Customs clearance, international duties, taxes, and import restrictions must be considered before completing an international purchase.

Delivery Restrictions

Certain products may not be eligible for shipping to specific locations due to size, weight, carrier restrictions, or legal regulations.

Tracking and Notifications

Shipment Tracking

Once an order is shipped, a tracking number is generated and linked to the shipment. Customers may track the status of their order through the tracking portal provided by the delivery service.

Order Status Updates

Automated notifications regarding order status—including confirmation, shipment, and out-for-delivery alerts—are provided via the platform’s notification system.

Carrier Delays

Delays resulting from carrier operations, weather conditions, customs inspections, or logistical disruptions are beyond the control of the platform. Estimated delivery dates are subject to change.

Packaging and Presentation

Protective Packaging

All products are packaged using industry-standard materials to ensure protection during transit. Fragile items, such as wooden toys or electronic kits, may receive additional padding or shockproof enclosures.

Eco-Friendly Options

Eco-conscious packaging materials, including recyclable boxes and biodegradable fillers, are utilized where feasible to reduce environmental impact.

Gift Packaging

Optional gift wrapping and personalized notes may be available for an additional fee. Selections can be made during checkout.

Delivery Attempts and Re-Delivery

Missed Delivery

In cases where the recipient is unavailable during the initial delivery attempt, the courier may reattempt delivery on the next business day. The number of attempts varies by carrier.

Holding and Pickup

Some couriers may hold the package at a local hub or designated pickup point for a limited time. If the package is not collected within the specified period, it may be returned to the sender.

Re-Delivery Charges

If re-delivery is required due to customer error (e.g., incorrect address or refusal to accept the package), re-delivery charges may apply.

Shipping Errors and Damages

Wrong or Incomplete Address

Orders returned due to incorrect or incomplete addresses are subject to re-shipment charges. Customers are encouraged to double-check their address details before finalizing the purchase.

Damaged Packages

If a package arrives visibly damaged, it is advised not to accept the delivery or to document the condition with photographs. Damage claims must be reported within a defined timeframe from delivery.

Missing Items

If an order is received incomplete or with missing products, such instances must be reported promptly for investigation. Resolution may involve re-shipment, replacement, or store credit.

Lost or Undelivered Orders

Shipment Lost in Transit

If tracking indicates no movement for an extended period, or if the item is marked “lost” by the courier, a full investigation will be initiated. Depending on the outcome, the order may be re-shipped or refunded.

Marked as Delivered but Not Received

If a tracking system marks an order as delivered but the recipient did not receive the package, a claim must be submitted within the stipulated timeframe. Assistance from the delivery carrier will be sought to resolve the matter.

Customs and Duties (for International Orders)

Customs Clearance

International shipments may be subject to customs clearance procedures, which can cause delays beyond original delivery estimates.

Duties and Taxes

All duties, tariffs, and local taxes applicable in the destination country are the responsibility of the recipient. These fees are not included in the order total and must be settled separately with the customs office.

Cancellations and Modifications Before Shipment

Cancellation Window

Orders can typically be canceled within a short time after placement, provided they have not entered the fulfillment process. Once the order is dispatched, cancellation is not possible.

Modifying Shipping Address

Shipping address modifications are allowed before dispatch. Requests for changes after shipment are not guaranteed and may be subject to carrier policies.

Bulk Orders and Custom Deliveries

Processing of Bulk Orders

Bulk and corporate orders may require additional processing time due to inventory checks, special packaging, or coordinated dispatch.

Custom Deliveries

Special delivery instructions or custom delivery windows may be accommodated for large or high-value orders, subject to availability.

Seasonal and Promotional Periods

Holiday Shipping

During peak seasons such as Christmas, Diwali, or New Year, shipping timelines may be extended due to high order volume and courier delays.

Sale Events

Orders placed during promotional events or clearance sales may require extra processing time due to inventory checks and limited-edition packaging.

Delivery to Institutions or Public Locations

Schools, Hospitals, and Offices

Deliveries to schools, hospitals, and public buildings must include accurate recipient information and departmental labels. Responsibility for securing the package post-delivery rests with the recipient.

Delivery to PO Boxes

Some couriers may not support delivery to PO Box addresses. Alternative physical addresses are recommended for uninterrupted service.

Delivery Confirmation and Proof

Signature Confirmation

For high-value orders, signature confirmation may be required. If the recipient is unavailable, re-delivery may be scheduled at no additional cost for the first attempt.

Photo Proof

Some couriers offer photo proof of delivery, especially for contactless drops. These are made available upon request.

Returns Due to Delivery Failure

Unclaimed Packages

Packages that remain unclaimed at courier depots or pickup points beyond the holding period may be returned automatically. Re-shipment is available upon request and payment of return and new shipping fees.

Refused Delivery

If the recipient refuses delivery without a valid reason, the original shipping and return charges may be deducted from any applicable refunds.

Communication Regarding Shipping

System-Generated Emails

All updates concerning the shipment status, tracking, and exceptions are provided through system-generated email notifications tied to the order ID.

Liability Disclaimer
