Shipping

What are the delivery charges?

Delivery charge varies with each Seller. Sellers incur relatively higher shipping costs on low-value items. In such cases, charging a nominal delivery charge helps them offset logistics costs. Please check your order summary to understand the delivery charges for individual products.

Delivery Charges vary with the Product, Quantity and Delivery Location.

It is possible that the Seller or our courier partners have a holiday between the day you’ve placed your order and the date of delivery, which is based on the timelines shown on the product page. In this case, we add a day to the estimated date. Some courier partners and Sellers do not work on Sundays and this is factored into the delivery dates.

 

What is the estimated delivery time?

Sellers generally procure and ship the items within the time specified on the product page. Business days exclude public holidays and Sundays.

Estimated delivery time depends on the following factors:

The Seller offering the product
Product’s availability with the Seller
The destination to which you want the order shipped to and location of the Seller.


What Is COD Charge?

COD is the Charge which is Only Applies on the COD Orders as cash handling Charge. It is Rs-25/- Only for Each Order. One can save this by making the online mode of payment.

Are there any hidden costs (sales tax, Service etc) on items sold by Sellers on Umekart?

There are NO hidden charges when you make a purchase on Umekart. List prices are final and all-inclusive. The price you see on the product page is exactly what you would pay.

Delivery charges are not hidden charges and are charged (if at all) extra depending on the Seller’s shipping policy.

 

Why does the estimated delivery time vary for each seller?

You have probably noticed varying estimated delivery times for sellers of the product you are interested in. Delivery times are influenced by product availability, geographic location of the Seller, your shipping destination and the courier partner’s time-to-deliver in your location.

Please enter your default pin code on the product page (you don’t have to enter it every single time) to know more accurate delivery times on the product page itself.

 

Seller does not/cannot ship to my area. Why?

Please enter your pin code on the product page (you don’t have to enter it every single time) to know whether the product can be delivered to your location.

If you haven’t provided your pin code until the checkout stage, the pin code in your shipping address will be used to check for serviceability.

Whether your location can be serviced or not depends on

Whether the Seller ships to your location
Legal restrictions, if any, in shipping particular products to your location
The availability of reliable courier partners in your location
At times Sellers prefer not to ship to certain locations. This is entirely at their discretion.

 

Why is the CoD option not offered in my location?

Availability of CoD depends on the ability of our courier partner servicing your location to accept cash as payment at the time of delivery.

Our courier partners have limits on the cash amount payable on delivery depending on the destination and your order value might have exceeded this limit. Please enter your pin code on the product page to check if CoD is available in your location.

 

What do the different tags like “In Stock”, “Available” mean?

‘In Stock’

items listed as “In Stock”, Sellers will mention the delivery time based on your location pincode (usually 4-5 business days or 4-6 business days in areas where standard courier service is available). For other areas, orders will be sent by Registered Post through the Indian Postal Service which may take 1-2 weeks depending on the location.

‘Available’

The Seller might not have the item in stock but can procure it when an order is placed for the item. The delivery time will depend on the estimated procurement time and the estimated shipping time to your location.
