Third-Party Merchant Shipping & Delivery Policy Disclosure

Last Updated: October 2026

            Important Portal Disclosure: PriceHunt is an online price comparison, review aggregation, and product discovery service. PriceHunt does not package, dispatch, ship, or deliver any products. All product orders are fulfilled, processed, and dispatched directly by third-party merchant partners (such as Amazon India, Flipkart, Croma, Vijay Sales, Tata CLiQ, Reliance Digital, or brand stores). Shipping fees, delivery timeframes, courier carriers, and handling conditions are determined solely by each individual merchant store and vary on a per-product, per-seller, and per-destination basis.
        

1. Scope & Non-Commitment Statement

Because PriceHunt does not sell, transport, or deliver merchandise, PriceHunt makes no commitments, representations, or warranties regarding delivery timeframes, shipping costs, free delivery eligibility, or courier performance.

All shipping terms are set and enforced by the selling merchant. Any estimated delivery dates, shipping charges, or delivery terms displayed on third-party sites represent the commercial terms of those respective merchants.

2. Variables Influencing Shipping Rates and Timelines

Shipping costs and delivery transit times across merchant platforms are subject to several variables:

Destination PIN Code: Merchant delivery timelines depend heavily on whether your address is located in a metropolitan area, Tier-2/3 city, or remote location. Certain items may not be serviceable in specific PIN codes depending on seller logistics networks.
Product Size & Weight: Large appliances (such as Refrigerators, Televisions, and Air Conditioners) generally require specialized freight and scheduled delivery, whereas smaller electronics (such as Smart Watches, Mobiles, and Audio accessories) are shipped via standard express courier.
Order Value & Minimum Spend: Many e-commerce stores offer free shipping only when an order exceeds a specified minimum threshold (e.g., ₹499 or ₹500), or for registered membership subscribers (e.g., Amazon Prime or Flipkart Plus), with flat delivery charges applied below that threshold.
Seller-Specific Shipping Policies: On multi-vendor marketplace platforms, independent sellers establish their own handling fees and courier arrangements independently of the platform.
Express & Hyperlocal Delivery: Quick-commerce and hyperlocal services operate under distinct fee structures, delivery radiuses, and rapid dispatch models (10 to 30 minutes) compared to standard nationwide parcel shipping (1 to 5 days).

3. How to Check Shipping Details Prior to Checkout

We advise all users to verify shipping details directly on the merchant platform before completing their purchase:

Enter Your PIN Code: On the merchant's product page, enter your delivery PIN code to confirm serviceability, estimated delivery date, and whether shipping is free.
Review Checkout Summary: Before submitting payment on the merchant platform, inspect the final checkout screen to verify applicable delivery or handling fees, taxes, and shipping options (Standard, Expedited, or Scheduled).

4. Order Tracking & Delivery Inquiries

Since shipments are handled by the destination store:

Order tracking details, courier names (such as Blue Dart, Delhivery, Ekart, ATS, or DTDC), and Air Waybill (AWB) numbers are sent directly to you by the merchant via SMS and Email.
To track an order in real time or manage delivery instructions, please log into your account on the merchant store where your order was placed and visit the "My Orders" / "Track Package" section.

5. Damaged, Delayed, or Missing Packages

Any claims regarding packages damaged in transit, missing items, or delivery delays must be addressed directly with the selling merchant's customer service department, in accordance with their transit protection and fulfillment policies.
