Cancellation & Refund Policy

Then, once the order has been submitted, policy can be sent to customers with the order confirmation email. Please note that refund will not be provided if customer has given wrong address or phone number while they ordering since it involves the wastage or destruction of sweets. Any refusal of order after shipment will not be eligible for refund.
Cancellation Policy
Halwa World believes in helping its customers as far as possible, and has therefore a liberal cancellation policy. Under this policy:
• Cancellations will be considered only if the request is made within 24 hours of placing an order. However, the cancellation request will not be entertained if the orders have been communicated to the vendors/merchants and they have initiated the process of shipping them. Cancelation fee will be charged from Rs.30 to 50 based on business criteria.
• There is no cancellation of orders placed under the Same Day Delivery category.
• No cancellations are entertained for those products that the (Halwa World) marketing team has obtained on special occasions like Pongal, Diwali, and Valentine’s Day etc. These are limited occasion offers and therefore cancellations are not possible.
• Halwa World does not accept cancellation requests for perishable items like Halwas and other sweets. However, refund/replacement can be made if the customer establishes that the quality of product delivered is not good.
• In case you feel that the product received is not as shown on the site or as per your expectations, you must bring it to the notice of our customer service within 24 hours of receiving the product. The Customer Service Team after looking into your complaint will take an appropriate decision.
Shipping & Delivery Policy (Services)
Delivery of our services will be confirmed on your mail ID as specified during registration. For any issues in utilizing our services you may contact our helpdesk on 07449231061.
How the delivery charge is calculated for multiple units and some products
The shipping charge is based on the weight of the product. For multiple products ordered from the same category the program adds up the weight of all the units ordered and charges a single delivery fee.
However, the delivery fee is calculated separately when a customer orders different products. This is because the products are being sourced and shipped from different cities.
The minimum weight taken into account is 500gms for domestic shipments. There is a parcel surcharge applicable for the consignments other than documents irrespective of weight of the shipments in case of some deliveries.
The weight of the product has been built in into the delivery charge of each product. This will automatically be added to the product cost at the payment stage.
Shipping & Delivery Policy (Products)
For domestic buyers, orders are shipped through registered domestic courier companies and /or speed post only. Orders are shipped within 15 working days or as per the delivery date agreed at the time of order confirmation and delivering of the shipment subject to Courier Company / post office norms. Halwa World is not liable for any delay in delivery by the courier company / postal authorities and only guarantees to hand over the consignment to the courier company or postal authorities within 15 working days from the date of the order and payment or as per the delivery date agreed at the time of order confirmation. Delivery of all orders will be to registered address of the buyer as per the credit/debit card only at all times(Unless specified at the time of Order). Your Halwa World is in no way responsible for any damage to the order while in transit to the buyer. All major credit/debit cards are accepted.
BO Clause
We as a merchant shall be under no liability whatsoever in respect of any loss or damage arising directly or indirectly out of the decline of authorization for any Transaction, on Account of the Cardholder having exceeded the preset limit mutually agreed by us with our acquiring bank from time to time.
