At Ghorer Bazar, we don't just view ourselves as a regular grocery application; we are a dedicated, trustworthy neighborhood partner, a companion for every household, and a sincere friend to the public. We strongly believe that shopping for daily essentials, fresh household items, and groceries should be a seamless, joyful, and transparent experience. Our shipping and delivery policy has been carefully designed to ensure complete clarity, absolute safety, and maximum convenience for every single customer who places their trust in us. Please read through our comprehensive delivery and inspection guidelines carefully.
1. Order Processing, Verification, and Preparation
Instant Order Placement: The moment you select your daily groceries, household goods, or fresh essentials on the Ghorer Bazar app and complete your checkout, our system immediately logs your order and initiates the processing phase.
Careful Packaging: Our warehouse and store teams meticulously gather your items, checking expiry dates, packaging integrity, and quality standards to ensure that only the finest products are chosen for your home.
Immediate Digital Confirmation: You will receive an instant digital notification or SMS confirmation on your registered mobile number, acknowledging your order details, billing summary, and the assigned delivery window.
2. Fast Delivery Timeframes (Within 120 Minutes or Up to 1 Day)
Lightning-Fast 120 Minutes Delivery: We understand the urgency of your daily grocery needs. All orders placed through our platform are prioritized for rapid fulfillment, aiming to deliver your items safely to your doorstep within 120 minutes under normal conditions.
Up to 1 Day Flexibility: While our primary goal is ultra-fast delivery within 2 hours, please note that depending on order volume, stock availability, or logistics flow, delivery may occasionally take up to 1 day from the time of confirmation.
Prioritizing Speed and Safety: Every package is handled with utmost care to prevent any damage to fragile goods, liquids, or packaged foods during transit.
Unforeseen Circumstances: In rare and exceptional situations—such as extreme weather conditions, heavy rains, unexpected local traffic blockades, public strikes, or government-mandated restrictions—delivery times might experience minor delays. In such events, our support team proactively reaches out to keep you informed.
3. Direct Communication, Tracking, and Dispatch Updates
Friendship and Transparency: True friendship is built on open communication. We never keep you in the dark regarding where your essential items are.
Dispatch Alerts: As soon as your packed order leaves our fulfillment center and is handed over to our verified delivery personnel, you will receive an immediate SMS alert, status update within the app, or a direct phone call.
Coordination Calls: Our delivery executives are instructed to call you prior to arrival, ensuring that you or an authorized member of your family is comfortably available at home to receive the delivery smoothly without any hassle.
4. Transparent Delivery Charges and Free Shipping Structure
To keep grocery shopping economical, friendly, and accessible for everyone in our community, Ghorer Bazar follows a very clear, fair, and budget-friendly shipping fee model:
Orders Below ₹1,000: A nominal and transparent delivery fee of ₹50 is applied to orders with a total value under ₹1,000. This minimal charge allows us to manage safe handling, packaging materials, and transit logistics efficiently.
Orders Above ₹1,000 (Free Delivery Benefit): We love to reward our valued customers! Enjoy absolute FREE DELIVERY on all orders that total ₹1,000 and above. There are no hidden charges or surprise fees attached to this benefit.
Clear Bill Breakdown at Checkout: To maintain absolute trust and transparency, the final breakdown of your cart—including item costs, taxes, and any applicable shipping charges or free delivery discounts—is clearly and boldly displayed on your screen at the final checkout window before you make any payment.
5. On-Spot Inspection Policy and 24-Hour Reporting Window
To maintain fairness and protect both our customers and our service, we strictly implement the following delivery inspection and return guidelines:
Check in Front of Delivery Boy: Customers are strongly advised to thoroughly check and inspect all items, quantities, and product conditions in the presence of our delivery boy at the time of delivery itself.
Strict 24-Hour Reporting Limit: If you find any missing item, damaged product, or issue with your order that could not be verified on the spot, you must report it to our customer support through the app within a strictly enforced 24-hour window from the exact time of delivery.
No Claims After 24 Hours: Please note that any complaints, return requests, or claims regarding missing items, damages, or discrepancies raised after 24 hours of delivery will not be accepted or entertained under any circumstances. This ensures transparency and quick resolution for genuine concerns.
6. Safe Transit, Hygiene, and Delivery Partner Conduct
Trained Professionals: Our delivery partners are background-verified, professionally trained, and courteous individuals who represent the friendly spirit of Ghorer Bazar.
Hygiene and Care: We maintain strict hygiene protocols during the packaging and transit of food grains, oils, dairy, and household essentials. Your health and safety are our primary responsibility.
Zero-Contact or Direct Delivery Options: Depending on your preference and safety guidelines, our delivery agents can hand over your packages directly or place them securely at your doorstep after initial verification.
7. Customer Support and Grievance Redressal
Always Here for You: Because we consider you a part of our extended family and public community, your feedback, questions, and concerns matter immensely to us.
