Shipping Policy – RoboRacter


Shipping & Dispatch

Upon order confirmation and availability of stocks, most orders placed before 3 PM IST will be shipped on the same day (excluding Sundays and Public holidays) through our shipping partners. In rare cases, the pickup may get delayed during Public holidays / Bandh / Environmental disturbances.

To ensure that your order reaches you in the fastest time and in good condition, we only ship through reputed courier agencies. Our primary shipping partners are BlueDart, Delhivery, DTDC and Shree Maruthi Courier. If your pin code is not serviceable by these partners, we will ship through Indian Speed Post.

To track your order status, we will share the tracking details on your registered email ID once the order has been shipped from our warehouse.

πŸ™οΈ Metro cities: Typically 1–3 business days

πŸ—ΊοΈ Other cities: Up to 3–7 business days

πŸ“¦ All items (including gifts) are shipped with an invoice mentioning the price, as per Indian Tax Regulations.

If you believe that the product is not in good condition, or if the packaging is tampered with or damaged before accepting delivery, please refuse to take delivery and contact us at +91-7776818395 or raise a support ticket with your order reference number. We shall make our best efforts to ensure that a replacement delivery is made to you at the earliest.

Cash on Delivery (COD)

RoboRacter offers Cash on Delivery (COD) payment option only for online orders worth β‚Ή499/- and above.

πŸ“ COD may not be available in some pin-codes. In such cases, please choose Prepaid and place an order online.

πŸ’΅ Orders β‚Ή499 to β‚Ή4,999

For these orders, we use a small advance payment system to confirm your COD order.

How it works:

  • At checkout, you pay a fixed β‚Ή49 advance to confirm your COD order.
  • You also pay the shipping charge based on your delivery option:
    • β‚Ή89 – Standard Delivery
    • β‚Ή149 – Express Delivery
  • The β‚Ή49 advance is deducted from your total order value.
  • When your order is delivered, you pay the remaining order amount + β‚Ή70 cash handling charge to the delivery person.

Example:
Suppose your order total is β‚Ή1,500 and you choose COD with Standard Delivery.

At checkout:
β‚Ή49 advance + β‚Ή89 shipping = β‚Ή138 paid online

At delivery:
β‚Ή1,500 βˆ’ β‚Ή49 advance = β‚Ή1,451 remaining
β‚Ή1,451 + β‚Ή70 cash handling charge = β‚Ή1,521 to be paid in cash

So, your order is confirmed with just β‚Ή49 advance, and the remaining amount is paid when you receive the order.

πŸ’΅ Orders β‚Ή5,000 and Above

For orders of β‚Ή5,000 and above, COD is available with a 10% advance payment instead of the fixed β‚Ή49 advance.

How it works:

  • At checkout, you pay 10% of your order value as an advance to confirm your COD order.
  • You also pay the shipping charge based on your delivery option:
    • β‚Ή89 – Standard Delivery
    • β‚Ή149 – Express Delivery
  • The 10% advance is deducted from your total order value.
  • When your order is delivered, you pay the remaining order amount + β‚Ή70 cash handling charge to the delivery person.

Example:
Suppose your order total is β‚Ή10,000 and you choose COD with Standard Delivery.

At checkout:
10% advance = β‚Ή1,000
β‚Ή89 shipping = β‚Ή89
Total paid at checkout = β‚Ή1,089

At delivery:
β‚Ή10,000 βˆ’ β‚Ή1,000 advance = β‚Ή9,000 remaining
β‚Ή9,000 + β‚Ή70 cash handling charge = β‚Ή9,070 to be paid in cash

So, you pay 10% of your order value in advance, and the remaining amount is paid in cash when your order is delivered.

⚠️ COD Cancellation & Advance Payment Policy

If a COD order is cancelled, the advance payment will be handled as follows:

  • Orders from β‚Ή499 to β‚Ή4,999: The β‚Ή49 advance payment is non-refundable in case of cancellation. This amount helps cover the costs involved in processing and preparing the order.
  • Orders of β‚Ή5,000 and above: The 10% advance payment will be used to cover the costs incurred for shipping, RTO (Return to Origin), packaging, and order processing. After deducting the actual costs incurred, any remaining amount from the advance payment will be refunded to the customer.

The amount deducted may vary from order to order, depending on the actual costs incurred for shipping, return/RTO, packaging, and processing. The seller reserves the right to determine the applicable deduction based on the costs incurred for the respective shipment.

Free Shipping

We offer free shipping on all prepaid orders worth β‚Ή999/- and above for all states within India, with the exception of deliveries to Jammu & Kashmir and North East states (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura).

Customers from these regions will be charged a nominal shipping fee. Shipping costs will be calculated and displayed at the time of checkout.

Cancellation / Returns

A customer must inform about cancellation by raising a support ticket, calling our IVR number +91-7776818395, or via website chat BEFORE the order has been shipped. There will be no cancellation once the product has already been shipped.

If any unexpected inventory shortage or shipping issue arises, we may not be able to ship the product. Your order will be auto-cancelled and the full amount will be refunded to your original source of payment.

πŸ“… Our Return Policy lasts for 7 days from the date of receipt of the consignment.

⚠️ Defective / damaged products will be accepted for returns/refunds.
⚠️We also return Items that are not suitable for use or are incompatible. However standard return charges would be borne by the customer in such scenario.

To return a product, raise a ticket on our customer support portal or contact us via website chat with your Order ID. Our tech team will inspect the case, and upon confirmation, the support team will arrange a return. Please ship the product back only in original packing. Once received and verified, a refund or replacement will be initiated.

Any repair or replacement of defective parts will be charged to the customer if the fault is due to accident, misuse, negligence, or wilful damage.

You will be responsible for paying your own return shipping costs. Shipping costs are non-refundable.

Refund / Replacement

Once your return is received and inspected, we shall process the refund within 3–4 working days of approval via UPI/NEFT.

If you haven't received a refund within 3–4 working days, please check with your Credit/Debit Card company or your bank. In case you still are unsure, contact us at roboracterofficial@gmail.com.

🚫 Replacement is not acceptable for Raspberry Pi, Arduino Original, Jetson Nano, BeagleBone, Micro:Bit, and SeeedStudio products.

🚫 Replacement/Return requests will not be entertained for products marked as non-returnable on the product page.

🚫 If the product is not returned in original packing or exceeds the return period, the replacement request will be cancelled.

We make an exception to our return policy for cases such as items ordered in error, change in requirement, or specification mismatch β€” by collecting a nominal processing charge of β‚Ή150/-. Upon receiving and inspecting the item at our warehouse, a complete refund will be made to your original mode of payment. Note: shipping charges and processing charges are non-refundable under any circumstances.

In cases where a customer places multiple orders for a product with quantity limits, all extra units will be automatically cancelled. The refund will be issued after a 2% deduction as payment gateway fees, or the customer may choose to keep the balance as RoboRacter Credits (no deduction applied).

Warranty

A manufacturer warranty of 1 year is applicable on Raspberry Pi Original boards and Arduino Original products from the date of purchase. The warranty does not include items broken, damaged, or with any physical damage.

Warranty is void if the product is damaged after delivery by accident, natural calamities, mishandling, failure to follow operational instructions, exposure to rain/water/moisture, repaired by unauthorized persons, storage near heat sources or in direct sunlight, or improper safe keeping.

If the warranty is void for the above reasons, the customer will not be entitled to a refund or replacement. In case of any dispute, RoboRacter's decision shall be final and binding.

Late or Missing Refunds

If you haven't received a refund within 10 days, please first check with your Credit/Debit Card company or bank, as there is often a processing time before a refund is made. If you are still unsure, contact us at roboracterofficial@gmail.com.
