Delivery Timings
Delivery time slots indicated are “preferred” and must not be considered as “mandatory”. However, we try to execute orders as per customer’s preference whenever possible. Generally, we categorize the timing in two-hour time slots. Same day orders are accepted till 3 PM, after which the orders are eligible for next day delivery[1].
Cash On Delivery
It’s not applicable for midnight services and we may not accept it in case we do not find it comfortable with some customers, areas or products[1].
