can only replace it with an item in the same price category.

in no circumstances will cancellation of order be allowed. You cannot change the order value, you can only replace
it with an item in the same price category. In no circumstances will a refund be given. We are strict on this because
we cannot afford the cost for chargebacks on your credit card, while providing the service for just $5.
We will inform you of such an eventuality. You can inform us to change the receiver's address within 5
days of receiving our message, else your order will be cancelled and no refund will be made. But under no
circumstances will the gifts be changed. In case of perishable commodities like sweets, cakes, flowers etc., an
extra charge (our cost price) will incur for re-purchase.

all orders at 9.00 am IST and make sure that the delivery is made (shipped by the couriers, if out of Chennai) the same day. In the events of the recipient not currently available or
neighbors not accepting the gifts on behalf of the recipient, we will try to deliver it the next day by leaving
a note for the recipient to contact our local office. Upon further delay, we will inform you to confirm the address
/ availability of the recipient. Almost all deliveries are acknowledged by the signature of the receiver and an
e-mail is sent to you if there is a return message, after the delivery is complete. This ends the gift process.
Few. While we take special care to deliver your gift items as soon as possible by choosing the fastest means,
please avoid to send potential perishable items (some sweets) in your order if the recipient is remote and we have
no other option than to send by registered post parcel. Also, not everything is shipped in single package. If Blue
Dart refuses to accept certain gift items (like liquid canned sweets from Haldiram's or silver coins), we will
send them through local courier or registered post.

anything, feel free to mail us at sales@indiagiftcenter.com. We
