Delivery Estimates — FAQs

Everything you need to know

Delivery estimates are predicted delivery dates shown to customers — typically at checkout and on the tracking page — calculated from courier transit times to a specific pincode, current pickup cut-off times, and processing time, rather than a generic "5-7 business days" message.

The estimate combines the destination pincode's historical transit time with the assigned courier, your current pickup cut-off window, and processing time, recalculating dynamically rather than using a single static estimate for every order.

Yes. Since different couriers have different transit times to the same pincode, the estimate reflects the specific courier assigned to that order rather than a generic company-wide average.

Yes. Estimated delivery dates can be shown on the product page or at checkout to set accurate expectations before the customer completes the order, which reduces both cart abandonment and post-purchase disappointment.

For express or same-day/next-day shipping options, a live countdown timer shows customers exactly how much time remains to qualify for that day's dispatch cut-off.

Transit-time data is refreshed from actual delivery performance by courier and pincode, so estimates improve in accuracy as more real delivery data accumulates for your specific shipping lanes.

Yes. The same delivery estimate shown at checkout carries through to the branded tracking page, keeping the promise consistent from purchase to delivery.
