What is the difference between shipping and delivery?
Shipping refers to the packing and dispatching of your order. While placing an order, you may find a shipping timeline on the products displayed on the website (e.g., dispatched within 5 days). All orders which are in stock are dispatched within 24 working hours of the order placed (except weekends and national holidays). This refers to the number of working days it will take to dispatch the product from our end. The delivery may take another 5-7 days depending on the address specified for the order. In case of remote areas, the orders are delivered within 7-8 business days. Bulk orders have a predefined delivery time which would be mentioned during order placement.
