Shipping Policy

Welcome to Zonocart!
This Shipping & Delivery Policy describes how products and orders are delivered through Zonocart for different categories such as grocery, food, online shopping, and parcel booking.

This policy applies to all orders placed on the Zonocart platform, including:

  • Grocery & Vegetables Delivery

  • Food Delivery (Restaurants / Insta Delivery)

  • Online Shopping (Electronics, Fashion, Home Appliances, etc.)

  • Parcel & Courier Services

Each category follows a separate shipping process and timeline based on product availability, distance, and service type.


2. Delivery Methods

Zonocart provides three main types of delivery options depending on the service:

(a) Insta Delivery (Instant Delivery)

  • Applicable for food orders and grocery/vegetable deliveries.

  • The average delivery time is 30–90 minutes, depending on location, order volume, and availability.

  • Delivery time may vary during festivals, heavy rain, traffic, or high-demand hours.

(b) Scheduled Delivery

  • Customers can choose a preferred delivery time slot while placing an order.

  • Scheduled delivery is available for grocery and essential products.

  • You can modify or reschedule your delivery slot up to 1 hour before the scheduled time (based on rider and store availability).

(c) Standard Delivery

  • Applicable for online shopping products such as electronics, appliances, fashion, etc.

  • Standard delivery is usually completed within 1–2 business days from the date of order confirmation.

  • For remote or non-serviceable areas, delivery may take up to 3–5 business days.


3. Shipping & Delivery Charges

  • Zonocart may charge a small delivery fee depending on order value, location, and category.

  • Delivery charges (if any) will be displayed clearly during checkout.

  • Free delivery may be offered for specific promotions or minimum order amounts.

  • For parcel and courier services, delivery charges depend on distance, parcel weight, and size.


4. Order Tracking

  • Once your order is placed, you will receive real-time updates via SMS, email, or app notifications.

  • You can track your order status through the “My Orders” section of the Zonocart app.

  • Tracking includes order confirmation, packaging, dispatch, out-for-delivery, and completion updates.


5. Delivery Process

(a) Grocery & Food

  • Orders are delivered directly from local partner stores or restaurants near your location.

  • Delivery partners pick up your order after it’s confirmed and deliver it promptly.

  • Insta Delivery orders are usually delivered within 30–90 minutes.

(b) Shopping Orders

  • Shopping products are shipped from verified Zonocart sellers or warehouses.

  • Every order is verified and packed securely.

  • Zonocart follows Open Box Delivery — customers can check their product condition before accepting delivery.

  • After acceptance, no return or exchange will be allowed unless the item is defective at the time of delivery.

(c) Parcel Bookings

  • Parcels are picked up from the customer’s address and delivered to the destination based on distance.

  • The pickup and delivery timelines will be displayed at the time of booking.

  • For safety, parcels are sealed and verified during pickup.


6. Delivery Attempts

  • Zonocart delivery partners will attempt delivery only once.

  • If the customer is unavailable at the delivery address, the order will be marked as “Undelivered” and may be canceled.

  • For prepaid orders, additional re-delivery charges may apply if the customer requests another attempt.


7. Delivery Delays

Zonocart aims to deliver all orders on time, but delays may occur due to:

  • Unexpected traffic, weather, or local restrictions

  • High order volumes during peak hours or festivals

  • Technical issues at the partner store or restaurant

In such cases, customers will be notified through the app, SMS, or phone call.
Zonocart is not responsible for delays caused by reasons beyond its control.


8. Order Verification & Open Box Delivery

  • For shopping products, Open Box Delivery is mandatory.

  • Customers must verify the product in the presence of the delivery partner before accepting.

  • Once accepted and signed off, the product will be considered delivered in perfect condition.

  • Any damage or issue must be reported immediately at the time of delivery.


9. Non-Delivery Situations

Zonocart reserves the right to cancel or reschedule deliveries in the following cases:

  • Delivery address not reachable or incorrect

  • Customer not available at delivery time

  • Repeated delivery failures

  • Product or restaurant unavailability

  • Unforeseen local restrictions or lockdowns

In such cases, customers will be informed, and if payment was already made, a refund will be processed as per Zonocart’s Cancellation & Refund Policy.


10. Service Coverage

  • Zonocart currently operates within select zones, cities, and districts.

  • Availability of delivery depends on pincode and local service partners.

  • Some remote or rural areas may not be covered yet.


11. Customer Responsibility

  • Customers must provide the correct address, contact number, and availability during delivery.

  • Customers are responsible for receiving the order at the scheduled or estimated delivery time.
