1. Delivery Timelines
In the current deployment phase, AnythingKart operates a standard 3 to 5 business days delivery window across all serviceable locations. Timelines are indicative and subject to logistics and force-majeure conditions.
2. Checkout Fee Components
Final checkout invoicing comprises:
- the absolute item value;
- variable logistics tiers;
- explicit HSN-mapped GST lines; and
- a standard Handling Fee of Flat ₹3 per cart checkout.
3. First-Order Incentive
New buyer profiles receive Free Delivery + a flat 5% discount (capped at ₹50), applicable strictly to PREPAID transactions only.
4. Shipping Tiers
- Cart subtotal above ₹999 → Free Shipping.
- Cart subtotal below ₹999→ localised logistics weight metrics apply.
5. Cash-on-Delivery (COD) Conditions
- COD is entirely disabled for any customer’s first order.
- COD is blocked for any order total below ₹499.
- Eligible COD orders incur an unavoidable logistics risk premium of Flat ₹79.
- High-value COD profiles require a Mandatory Partial COD prepayment of ₹100.
6. Night-Order Verification
COD requests placed between 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM are queued for an automated WhatsApp confirmation at 7:00 AM, followed by manual telephonic validation by our operations team prior to dispatch.
7. High-RTO Geofence Controls
Shipments mapping to geographies with a localised history of >30% RTO trigger automated UI warning flags and stricter verification protocols before dispatch.
8. Delivery Handshake
Out-for-delivery shipments expose dynamic rider-contact parameters. All fulfilments require a verified 4-digit Delivery OTP to be provided to the delivery agent before an order is marked successfully delivered.
