Shipping Policy
This Shipping Policy explains how ABHITA ships your orders, expected timelines, charges, and what happens if delivery fails.
1. Service area
We ship across all of India, including remote pincodes. Some far-flung locations may incur additional time or charges — we will inform you before dispatch if this applies. We do not currently ship internationally.
2. Order processing time
Order processing happens in two phases:
| Phase | Time | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Quote confirmation | 4 working hours (typical) | For URL/custom orders, our team reviews and confirms final price |
| Queue + printing | 1-3 business days | Your order enters print queue and is manufactured |
| Packaging + dispatch | 1 business day | Quality check, packaging, courier handover |
| Transit (depends on region) | 2-7 business days | Courier delivery to your address |
3. Estimated delivery times
| Region | Standard | Express |
|---|---|---|
| Vapi local pickup | Same day | Same day |
| Gujarat / Maharashtra metros (Mumbai, Pune, Surat, Ahmedabad) | 3-5 days | 2-3 days |
| Other Tier 1 cities (Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata) | 5-7 days | 3-4 days |
| Tier 2 / 3 cities | 6-9 days | 4-6 days |
| North-East, J&K, Lakshadweep, Andaman | 9-15 days | Not always available |
4. Shipping charges
Shipping charges are calculated at checkout based on:
- Package weight and dimensions
- Destination pincode
- Selected timeline (standard vs express)
For most orders within India, standard shipping is included for orders above ₹999. Below this threshold, a flat shipping charge applies (typically ₹49-₹149 depending on region).
5. Courier partners
We work with reputed courier services for reliable delivery, including but not limited to:
- Delhivery
- BlueDart
- DTDC
- India Post (for remote areas)
- Local couriers for nearby Vapi/Surat areas
The courier is selected at our discretion based on destination and package size.
6. Tracking your order
You can track your order at abhita.in/track using your order ID. Once dispatched, you will receive courier tracking information via WhatsApp and email (if provided).
7. Failed delivery / address issues
If the courier is unable to deliver due to:
- Incorrect or incomplete address provided by you
- Recipient unavailable on multiple delivery attempts
- Refusal to accept package
- Pincode unservicable
The package will be returned to us. We will contact you for clarification or to arrange re-delivery (you may need to bear re-delivery charges). If unresolved within 14 days of return-to-origin, the order will be considered cancelled — refund will be processed minus original shipping costs and a 15% restocking fee for custom orders that cannot be resold.
8. Damaged / lost in transit
If your package arrives damaged:
- Take photos before opening (if visible damage to outer package)
- Take photos of the contents
- Contact us within 48 hours of delivery via WhatsApp/email with your order ID and photos
- We will arrange replacement or refund per our Return Policy
If the courier marks "delivered" but you have not received it:
- Check with neighbors and security/reception
- Contact us within 5 days — we will file a claim with the courier
- If unresolved within 7 days, we will reprint and reship at our cost (or full refund)
9. Local pickup (Vapi)
Customers in Vapi can opt to pick up their order in person — no shipping charge. We will provide pickup details and timings on order confirmation. Please bring your order ID or WhatsApp confirmation.
10. International shipping
We do not currently offer international shipping. We may consider international orders on a case-by-case basis for bulk B2B orders — please contact us via WhatsApp before placing an order.
11. Customs and duties
For all India shipping, no customs duties apply. GST is included in the displayed price (we are GST-registered for B2B invoices on request). For B2B with GST invoice, please share your GSTIN at order time.
