Where do we deliver?
We ship to almost all locations in India where there is reach of the Indian Postal Network or courier.
How much does Shipping and Delivery cost?
Shipping and delivery charges are according to the weight of the book.
Some items may attract Handling Charges, which are payable extra. Handling Charges, when applicable are clearly mentioned in the Product Specifications page. Handling Charges are applied wherever the volumetric weight of the item is more and/or the item needs special packing & shipping care. Few remote locations need extra payment beyond this for Bulky Sports equipment (e.g. North East, Andaman Island etc).
Octroi
Certain states in India levy Octroi or other forms of excise duty on all in-bound goods in certain categories. Should your shipping address be in any of these locations, you may have to pay the Octroi or the appropriate levy. This amount of money will be collected from you by the shipping/courier/transport company.
How long does the delivery take?
Major destinations are serviced by known national courier companies and deliveries normally take 1-7 days. You can track the status and location of your parcel after dispatch on the respective courier’s website using the parcel’s tracking code. Remote locations where there is no coverage by our empanelled couriers get serviced through Speed Post. Delivery through India Post normally takes longer for some locations and rare situations.
When you place an order, the estimated shipping/dispatch and estimated delivery time will be specified based on the availability of the item, your delivery location and coverage by our empanelled couriers. Generally the dispatch timeline falls under below categories:
