Shipping and Delivery Policy – ConnectLocal.in
Last Updated: 26 October 2026
ConnectLocal.in (“ConnectLocal”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a local marketplace that connects customers with participating shops, restaurants, and service providers. This policy explains how orders are processed, dispatched, and delivered through the Platform.
1. Service Areas
Delivery is available only in locations and zones supported by ConnectLocal and its participating vendors or delivery partners.
Delivery availability may vary depending on the customer's address, vendor location, product type, operating hours, and delivery capacity. Customers should confirm service availability at checkout before placing an order.
2. Order Processing
Orders are forwarded to the relevant vendor for acceptance and processing.
Processing time depends on product availability, vendor operating hours, order volume, and preparation requirements. Restaurant orders may require additional preparation time.
An order confirmation does not necessarily mean that the order has been dispatched. Customers may receive order status updates through the Platform or available communication channels.
3. Estimated Delivery Time
Estimated delivery times are indicative and may vary because of:
-
Distance between the vendor and delivery address.
-
Traffic, weather, and road conditions.
-
Restaurant preparation or product packaging time.
-
Vendor availability and order volume.
-
Delivery partner availability or unforeseen disruptions.
Where available, estimated delivery times will be shown during checkout or in the order status. ConnectLocal does not guarantee an exact delivery time unless expressly confirmed.
4. Delivery Charges
Delivery charges, if applicable, will be displayed at checkout or communicated before order confirmation.
Charges may depend on distance, delivery zone, order type, vendor arrangements, or other disclosed factors. Any minimum order value, additional fee, or applicable tax will be communicated before the customer completes the order.
5. Order Tracking and Updates
Where supported, customers may view their order status through their ConnectLocal account or receive updates by SMS, phone, email, or other enabled communication channels.
Tracking availability depends on the features provided by the Platform and the delivery partner.
6. Customer Responsibilities
Customers must provide an accurate delivery address, contact number, and any necessary delivery instructions.
Customers should remain reachable during the delivery window. If delivery fails because the customer is unavailable, the address is incorrect, or access cannot be obtained, the delivery partner or vendor may contact the customer to arrange a suitable next step.
Any additional delivery attempt or associated charge must follow the terms disclosed to the customer and applicable law.
7. Failed, Delayed, or Missing Deliveries
If an order is delayed, marked delivered but not received, or otherwise cannot be completed, customers should contact ConnectLocal support promptly and provide their order ID.
We will review the available order and delivery information and coordinate with the relevant vendor or delivery partner to determine an appropriate resolution.
Where an order cannot be fulfilled by the vendor or delivery provider, eligible refunds will be handled under our Refund Policy and applicable law.
8. Damaged, Incorrect, or Missing Items
Customers should report damaged, incorrect, or missing items as soon as reasonably possible after delivery.
Please provide the order ID, a description of the issue, and photographs where appropriate. We will review the complaint and coordinate with the vendor to determine whether a replacement, partial refund, full refund, or another appropriate remedy applies.
Nothing in this policy limits consumer rights available under applicable law.
9. Food Delivery
Food preparation and delivery times may vary based on restaurant workload, food preparation requirements, weather, and delivery availability.
Customers should verify their order upon receipt and report missing or incorrect items promptly. Food orders may be subject to specific cancellation and refund conditions described in our Cancellation Policy and Refund Policy.
10. Vehicle Rental and Non-Delivery Services
Vehicle rental is a booking service rather than a conventional shipping service. Vehicle pickup, handover, and return arrangements are governed by the booking details and rental provider's disclosed terms.
Customers should follow the confirmed pickup location and time and contact support if the provider fails to supply the booked vehicle.
11. Service Interruptions and Exceptional Circumstances
Deliveries may be affected by severe weather, road closures, public restrictions, technical issues, or other events beyond reasonable control.
Where possible, customers will be informed of material delays or changes. Orders that cannot be fulfilled will be reviewed under the applicable cancellation and refund terms.
