Shipping & Delivery Policy

Last Updated: 24 August 2026

At NewnessPlant, we take special care while preparing, packing, and shipping live plants so that they can reach customers in the best possible condition.

This Shipping & Delivery Policy explains how orders placed through https://www.newnessplant.com are processed and delivered.

1. Order Processing

Orders are generally prepared and dispatched within 1–2 business days after order confirmation, subject to:

  • Product availability

  • Plant health and quality checks

  • Payment confirmation

  • Packaging requirements

  • Courier availability

  • Public holidays or operational circumstances

Because we sell live plants, we may occasionally require additional preparation time to ensure that a plant is suitable for shipping.

2. Delivery Locations

NewnessPlant delivers to serviceable PIN codes across India.

Delivery availability depends on courier coverage in the customer's location.

Some remote, rural, or difficult-to-service areas may require additional delivery time or may not be serviceable by our regular courier partners.

At present, NewnessPlant does not offer regular international shipping through the website.

3. Shipping Charges

Shipping and delivery charges may vary depending on factors such as:

  • Product

  • Package weight

  • Quantity

  • Delivery PIN code

  • Courier availability

  • Order value

  • Applicable offers or promotions

The applicable shipping or delivery charge will normally be displayed during checkout before the order is placed.

Any promotional free-shipping offer, if available, will be subject to the conditions mentioned with that offer.

4. Courier & Logistics Partners

NewnessPlant uses registered third-party courier and logistics partners to deliver orders.

The courier partner for a particular shipment may vary depending on:

  • Customer location

  • Courier serviceability

  • Package size and weight

  • Delivery speed

  • Operational availability

NewnessPlant may select or change the courier partner where reasonably necessary for successful delivery.

5. Estimated Delivery Time

Delivery time depends on the destination and courier network.

After dispatch, customers will normally receive shipment or tracking information where tracking is available.

The estimated delivery date shown on our website, order page, message, or courier tracking page is an estimate and not a guaranteed delivery date.

Delivery may take longer for remote or rural locations.

6. Delivery Delays

Although we make reasonable efforts to dispatch orders promptly, delivery may occasionally be delayed due to circumstances outside our direct control, including:

  • Courier delays

  • Weather conditions

  • Floods or natural disasters

  • Transportation disruption

  • Public holidays

  • Strikes

  • Government restrictions

  • Remote delivery locations

  • Incorrect customer information

  • Unexpected operational issues

Once a shipment has been handed over to the courier partner, final transportation and last-mile delivery are handled by that courier network.

However, if you experience an unusual delivery delay, you may contact NewnessPlant customer support and we will make reasonable efforts to assist you.

7. Shipping Live Plants

Live plants require different handling from ordinary products.

Before dispatch, plants may be prepared and packed specifically for transportation.

During transit, a live plant may experience normal temporary stress such as:

  • Slight wilting

  • Minor leaf drop

  • Yellowing of some leaves

  • Minor bending

  • Dryness of soil

  • Minor cosmetic leaf damage

These conditions may occur naturally during transportation and many plants recover after proper watering, light, and post-delivery care.

8. Delivery Address

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.

Please ensure that you provide:

  • Recipient's full name

  • Complete address

  • Correct PIN code

  • Active mobile number

  • Landmark or other necessary delivery details

We are not responsible for delivery failure or delay caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by the customer.

9. Address Changes

Once an order has been dispatched, changing the shipping address may not be possible.

If you need to change an address, please contact us as early as possible before dispatch.

Address modification remains subject to order status and courier availability.

10. Delivery Attempts

Courier partners may attempt to contact the customer before or during delivery.

Customers are requested to:

  • Keep their registered mobile number active

  • Respond to courier calls where necessary

  • Ensure someone is available to receive the shipment

If delivery cannot be completed because the customer is unavailable, refuses delivery, provides an incorrect address, or cannot be contacted, the shipment may be marked undelivered or returned to origin (RTO).

11. Return to Origin (RTO)

An order may become RTO when delivery fails for reasons including:

  • Customer refusal

  • Customer unavailable

  • Incorrect or incomplete address

  • Incorrect phone number

  • Repeated failed delivery attempts

  • Customer not responding to courier communication

NewnessPlant reserves the right to restrict Cash on Delivery or take other reasonable measures for customers with repeated refused or RTO orders.

12. Damaged or Incorrect Shipment

Customers should inspect their order as soon as possible after delivery.

If you receive a seriously damaged, incorrect, or eligible defective product, please contact NewnessPlant within the claim period specified in our applicable Refund, Replacement & Cancellation Policy.

We may request:

  • Clear photographs of the plant/product

  • Photographs of the packaging

  • Shipping label photographs

  • An unpacking video

  • Order number

  • Other reasonable evidence required to verify the claim

Eligibility for replacement or refund will be determined according to the applicable policy.

13. Tracking Your Order

Where available, shipment tracking details may be provided after dispatch.

Courier tracking information is generated and updated by the respective logistics provider. There may occasionally be a delay between physical shipment movement and tracking updates.

14. Payment & Shipping

Depending on eligibility and availability, customers may be able to place orders using:

  • Online payment

  • Cash on Delivery (COD)

  • Other payment methods made available by NewnessPlant

Online payments may be processed through authorized third-party payment gateways.

Availability of a particular payment method may vary depending on the order, customer, delivery location, or operational requirements.

15. Failed or Unserviceable Delivery

If an order cannot be delivered because a location becomes unserviceable after the order is placed, NewnessPlant may contact the customer to determine an appropriate solution.

Where an eligible prepaid order cannot be fulfilled or delivered, any applicable refund will be handled according to our Refund & Cancellation Policy.
