Shipping & Delivery Policy

1. Policy Overview

This Shipping & Delivery Policy explains how orders placed on Silver Line ("we", "our") are processed, packed, dispatched, tracked and delivered. We follow industry-standard security and packaging norms and integrate trusted logistics partners to ensure safe delivery. All payments are processed securely via approved gateways (including Razorpay) and shipment creation occurs only after payment confirmation.

2. Order Processing & Dispatch Timelines

Payment Confirmation: Orders enter the processing queue only after successful payment authorization & capture.

Processing Time: Standard ready-to-ship items dispatch within 24–48 business hours.

Made-to-Order / Customized: May require 3–7 business days before dispatch; customers are notified by email/SMS.

Quality & Security: Each piece undergoes a final quality, hallmark and packaging integrity check prior to handover.

Unexpected Delays: In rare cases (supply constraints, verification), we proactively inform you and offer options to wait, modify or cancel.

3. Shipping Modes & Charges

Shipping charges (if applicable) are displayed transparently at checkout before payment.

Free Shipping: Available on qualifying cart values or promotional campaigns.

Standard Shipping: 3–7 business days to metro cities; Tier-2/ODA may extend to 7–10 days.

Express Shipping (if offered): 1–3 business days; charged separately and subject to availability & pincode serviceability.

COD (Cash on Delivery): May incur an additional fee; subject to order value limits & serviceable areas.

4. Serviceability, Remote & ODA Areas

Serviceability Check: Customers must ensure correct pincode entry; non-serviceable or ODA (Out of Delivery Area) locations may attract surcharges or extended timelines.

ODA Handling: We inform you of any ODA charges before dispatch; you may opt to proceed, change address, or cancel.

Address Accuracy: Incorrect address/pincode results in delays or cancellation; reshipment fees may apply.

Multiple Attempts: Courier partners attempt up to 2–3 deliveries for COD/Signature-required shipments.
