Shipping Policy
Shipping Policy
At Godha World, we strive to deliver every order safely, accurately, and as quickly as possible. This Shipping Policy outlines the terms governing order processing, shipping, dispatch, delivery timelines, tracking, delivery exceptions, and related logistics procedures.
By placing an order on our website, you agree to the terms outlined in this Shipping Policy.
1. Order Processing
All orders are subject to payment verification, fraud screening, stock availability confirmation, and operational review before dispatch.
Orders are generally processed within 1–3 business days after successful order confirmation. Processing times may vary during sales events, public holidays, high-demand periods, inventory audits, or unforeseen operational circumstances.
Order processing and shipping timelines are separate. Processing time refers to the time required to prepare your order for shipment, while shipping time refers to the transit time after dispatch.
2. Shipping Coverage
Godha World currently delivers to most serviceable locations across India through trusted logistics and courier partners.
Certain remote, rural, restricted, military, government-controlled, or difficult-to-access regions may experience longer delivery timelines or may not be serviceable at all.
The Company reserves the right to decline orders from locations where delivery services are unavailable or operationally impractical.
3. Estimated Delivery Time
Estimated delivery dates displayed on the website are approximate estimates provided for customer convenience only.
Typical delivery timelines:
- Metro Cities: 3–7 Business Days
- Tier 2 Cities: 4–8 Business Days
- Tier 3 & Rural Areas: 5–12 Business Days
- Remote Locations: May Require Additional Time
Actual delivery timelines may vary due to weather conditions, transportation disruptions, operational issues, public holidays, regional restrictions, strikes, natural disasters, security checks, or circumstances beyond our control.
4. Shipping Charges
Shipping charges, if applicable, will be displayed during checkout before payment confirmation.
Godha World may offer free shipping promotions, limited-time shipping discounts, or region-specific shipping benefits at its sole discretion.
Shipping charges are generally non-refundable once shipment processing has commenced.
5. Order Tracking
Once your order is dispatched, tracking information may be provided through email, SMS, WhatsApp, customer account pages, or other available communication methods.
Tracking updates are dependent upon courier partner systems and may occasionally experience delays.
Customers are responsible for monitoring shipment progress using the provided tracking details.
6. Delivery Attempts
Courier partners may make multiple delivery attempts before returning a shipment.
Customers are responsible for ensuring someone is available to receive the shipment at the delivery address.
Failed deliveries caused by customer unavailability, incorrect address details, unreachable contact numbers, refusal to accept delivery, or other customer-related reasons may result in return-to-origin processing.
7. Incorrect Address Information
Customers are solely responsible for providing complete and accurate shipping information.
Godha World shall not be liable for delays, failed deliveries, losses, or additional costs arising from:
- Incorrect Addresses
- Incomplete Addresses
- Wrong Postal Codes
- Invalid Contact Numbers
- Incorrect Recipient Information
Additional shipping charges may apply if re-dispatch becomes necessary.
8. Delivery Delays
While we work diligently to meet estimated delivery schedules, delivery dates are not guaranteed.
Delays may occur due to:
- Natural Disasters
- Weather Events
- Transportation Issues
- Public Holidays
- Government Restrictions
- Security Inspections
- Operational Disruptions
- Courier Delays
- Force Majeure Events
Godha World shall not be liable for losses, inconvenience, damages, or claims arising from delivery delays beyond our reasonable control.
9. Damaged Package Upon Delivery
Customers are strongly encouraged to inspect packages before accepting delivery.
If the package appears visibly damaged, tampered with, opened, resealed, or otherwise compromised, customers should document the condition and contact our support team immediately.
Whenever possible, customers should record an uninterrupted unboxing video from opening the sealed package through product inspection.
10. Lost Shipments
In rare cases where shipments are confirmed lost in transit by the logistics provider, Godha World will investigate the matter with the courier partner.
Resolution options may include:
- Replacement Shipment
- Store Credit
- Refund (Where Applicable)
Resolution will depend on investigation outcomes and stock availability.
11. Customer Cooperation
Customers agree to cooperate with shipping investigations by providing relevant information, documentation, screenshots, communications, photographs, videos, or identity verification when reasonably requested.
12. Policy Modifications
Godha World reserves the right to modify, amend, replace, or update this Shipping Policy at any time without prior notice.
Continued use of the website following policy updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Shipping Policy.
