Effective Date: April 02, 2025

This Shipping Policy (“Policy”) governs the shipment and delivery of clothing, fashion apparel, accessories, and related products (“Products”) purchased through https://www.coffeeberries.in (referred to as the “Site”, “Website”, or “Platform”), owned and operated by Coffee Berries (“we”, “us”, “our”, or “Entity”).

By placing an order on the Website, you (“you”, “Customer”, or “User”) agree to be bound by this Policy in its entirety.

We strive to ensure a smooth and reliable shipping experience by partnering with trusted third-party logistics providers.

 


 

1. General Shipping Information

a. Scope of Shipping Services

We offer shipping for Products purchased through the Website to addresses within India and, at our discretion, selected international destinations. Shipping is handled through third-party courier and logistics partners such as Delhivery, Blue Dart, India Post, or similar service providers.

This Policy applies to all orders placed on the Website, whether by registered users or guest customers, and covers order processing, dispatch, transit, and delivery.

b. Order Processing

  • For prepaid orders, processing begins only after successful payment confirmation through our payment gateway.

  • For Cash on Delivery (COD) orders, processing begins after internal verification, and we reserve the right to cancel COD orders at our discretion.

Order processing generally takes 2 to 3 business days, excluding weekends, public holidays, and unforeseen operational delays. Once your order is placed successfully, you will receive an order confirmation via email or SMS.

c. Shipping Availability

We reserve the right to restrict deliveries to certain pin codes, regions, or countries due to logistical, legal, or operational constraints. If your location is not serviceable, your order will be cancelled and you will be notified accordingly.

Coffee Berries is not liable for delays caused by such factors.

International Orders
Shipping charges vary by destination and are calculated at checkout. Customs duties, taxes, or import fees (if applicable) must be borne by the customer.
