Shipping & Delivery Policy
Rapid Bangalore Doorstep Dispatch & 100% Insured Pan-India Express Logistics

3. High-Security Multi-Layer Packaging
Every smartphone package undergoes our 3-stage security seal protocol:
- Inner Protection: Shock-absorbent high-density bubble envelope encasing the factory retail box.
- Reinforced Hard Carton: Heavy-gauge corrugated outer box engineered to withstand transit compression.
- Sequential Barcoded Security Tape: Tamper-evident void tape that leaves visible irreversible patterns if opened or manipulated in transit.
4. Delivery Protocol & Unboxing Recommendation
To ensure security and peace of mind:
- OTP / Signature Verification: Parcels are handed over only upon verification of the secure OTP sent to the recipient’s registered mobile number.
- Inspect Before Acceptance: Please check the external carton and tamper-proof tape. If the parcel appears damaged, wet, or opened, refuse delivery immediately and alert our store helpline.
- Unboxing Video: For all pan-India shipments, we strongly recommend recording an uncut 360-degree unboxing video from cutting the security tape to powering on the phone. This provides immediate proof for insurance claims in the rare event of transit damage.
