Shipping & Delivery Policy

◆

For the website www.cakewala.in, operated by Bhattas Foods Private Limited. This policy explains how Your Order is fulfilled, from placement to delivery.

This Shipping & Delivery Policy explains how Orders placed on www.cakewala.in (the “Website”) are fulfilled. It should be read together with Our Terms and Conditions and Cancellation & Refund Policy. All deliveries under every Delivery Module described below are carried out by independent third-party Delivery Partners/courier companies engaged by Bhattas Foods Private Limited (“Cakewala”, “We”, “Us”, “Our”) on a principal-to-principal basis, and not by Our own delivery staff.

1. Our Three Delivery Modules

Depending on the Product You order and Your delivery pin code, Your Order will be fulfilled through one of the following three Delivery Modules. The applicable module and estimated delivery window will be shown to You on the product page and again at checkout before You place the Order.

1.1 Instant / Immediate Delivery

1.1.1 Available for select ready-to-dispatch Products where the delivery address falls within a short distance of the fulfilling outlet/kitchen, and a rider/Delivery Partner is available at that time.

1.1.2 Estimated delivery window: shown at checkout (typically within a few hours of order confirmation), and is an estimate, not a guaranteed time, since it depends on live rider availability, traffic and outlet order load.

1.1.3 If Instant Delivery becomes unavailable after You place the Order (e.g., no rider available, distance too far), We will inform You and offer the Advance Delivery option for the same Product, or cancel the Order with a full refund.

1.1.4 Serviceable pin codes/localities for Instant Delivery are shown via the live serviceability checker on the Website at checkout.

1.2 Advance / Pre-Booked Orders

1.2.1 Applicable to customised cakes, larger/tiered cakes, bulk and corporate orders, and any Product requiring advance preparation.

1.2.2 You will select a delivery date and a fixed time slot at checkout. Minimum lead time varies by Product and is shown on the product page (for example, a longer lead time typically applies to fully customised/theme cakes).

1.2.3 We aim to have Your Order handed over to the Delivery Partner in time to meet the selected slot; the slot is an estimated delivery window.

1.2.4 Changes to the delivery date/time of a confirmed Advance Order are subject to the cut-off periods set out in Our Cancellation & Refund Policy.

1.3 Pan-India Delivery

1.3.1 Applicable to ambient/shelf-stable Products (e.g., dry cakes, cookies, hampers, dry fruits) that can be shipped safely across India via a third-party courier/logistics partner.

1.3.2 Orders are typically dispatched within 1–2 business days of order confirmation and are delivered within an estimated transit window of 2–7 business days depending on destination; this window is provided by the courier partner and is not guaranteed.

1.3.3 Once dispatched, You will receive a tracking link/AWB number (where available) to follow Your shipment. Pan-India orders cannot be cancelled or the address changed once dispatched.

1.3.4 Pan-India Delivery may not be available to certain remote pin codes, restricted zones, or during courier network disruptions; the Website will indicate if Your pin code is not serviceable at checkout.

2. Delivery Charges

2.1 Delivery charges, if any, are calculated based on the Delivery Module, distance/destination, and Order value, and are displayed at checkout before payment.

2.2 Delivery charges are non-refundable once the Order has been dispatched or delivery has commenced, except where cancellation/non-delivery is directly attributable to Us. Any free-delivery threshold currently in effect will be shown on the Website and at checkout.

3. Order Processing & Cut-Off Times

3.1 Orders for Instant Delivery are processed immediately upon confirmation, subject to outlet operating hours.

3.2 Orders for Advance Delivery and Pan-India Delivery placed after the daily cut-off time shown on the Website may be processed on the next business day.

3.3 Deliveries are not made on national holidays; Orders scheduled for such dates will be delivered on the next working day, unless a specific holiday-delivery slot was offered and selected by You.

4. Delivery Attempts & Failed Delivery

4.1 You or Your authorised representative must be available to receive the Order at the delivery address/time selected. Please ensure the address, pin code and contact number provided are accurate and reachable.

4.2 If the Delivery Partner is unable to complete delivery because You or Your representative are unavailable or unreachable, or the address provided is incomplete/incorrect, the Order will be treated as delivered (“deemed delivery”) in accordance with Our Terms and Conditions, and no refund will be due.

4.3 You or Your representative should inspect the Product at the time of delivery and may refuse a visibly damaged Product at that point. Once delivery is accepted and acknowledged (including OTP, signature, or photo proof of delivery), We are not responsible for damage occurring afterward.

4.4 In case of floods, heavy rain, natural calamity, bandh, curfew, election restrictions, regulated traffic movement, or festival-season surge affecting the Delivery Partner network, We reserve the right to reschedule delivery to the next feasible slot and will inform You accordingly.

5. Delays & Issues During Transit

5.1 While We take reasonable care in packaging Products to withstand ordinary transit handling and in selecting reputed Delivery Partners, delays or mishandling can occasionally occur due to traffic, weather, courier network load, or other factors beyond Our control.

5.2 Any complaint regarding delayed delivery, transit damage, or an incorrect Product must be raised with Our customer support within 24 hours of the scheduled/actual delivery time, along with photographic evidence where applicable, so that We can investigate with the Delivery Partner while the matter is still verifiable.

6. Tracking Your Order

For Advance and Pan-India Orders, You will typically receive order-status updates by SMS/WhatsApp/email, and, for Pan-India shipments, a tracking link once the Order is dispatched. For Instant Delivery, live rider tracking may be provided where available.
