Shipping & Delivery Policy

Effective: 17 July 2026

BHARAT ROOTS ships sowing seeds for personal and household gardening across India through verified courier partners using moisture-safe packaging designed to protect germination potential in transit.

1. Processing time

Orders are typically packed within one to two business days after confirmation. During peak seasons or festival periods, processing may extend by an additional day. You will receive dispatch notification with tracking details once the parcel leaves our facility.

2. Delivery timelines

Estimated transit times vary by destination pin code — metro areas generally receive orders within two to four business days after dispatch; remote locations may require five to seven business days. These are estimates, not guarantees, as third-party logistics may experience delays.

3. Shipping charges

Prepaid orders include free standard shipping unless stated otherwise at checkout. Cash on Delivery orders may include a flat COD handling fee displayed before payment confirmation. Express or same-day options are not currently available.

4. Packaging standards

Seeds are sealed in moisture-barrier sachets, lot-coded, and nested in rigid mailers so vibration and humidity swings during road transit do not compromise germination potential.

5. Delivery attempts

Couriers typically attempt delivery up to two times. If undeliverable, the parcel may return to us and a re-shipment fee may apply.

6. Serviceable areas

We deliver to most pin codes across India. If your location is unserviceable, checkout will indicate this before payment. We continuously expand coverage based on courier partner availability.
