1. Dispatch & order processing

Orders are processed once confirmed in writing and, where applicable, on receipt of cleared payment or an agreed deposit. We aim to dispatch in-stock items promptly from our facility in Hyderabad. Dispatch timelines are estimates, not guarantees, and can vary with order size, custom or made-to-order items, stock position, and the destination. Made-to-order, private-label and large-volume orders carry separate lead times confirmed at the time of order.

2. Freight & shipping charges

Shipping is charged according to order value, weight, destination and the freight mode selected:

  • Online orders within India — ground shipping is free on orders of ₹499 and above; orders below ₹499 carry a flat delivery charge of ₹99, shown at checkout before payment.
  • International online orders — shipped by international air freight at the rates shown at checkout, based on destination and weight. Free shipping does not apply to international orders; import duties and taxes, if any, are payable by the receiver.
  • Ground / road freight — our standard mode for domestic bulk and case-pack orders, with standard transit times.
  • Express, air freight & courier — available on request and charged to the buyer's account; these are not included in any free-shipping benefit.

3. Free shipping thresholds

Online orders of ₹499 and above ship free by ground within India. Orders below ₹499 carry a flat ₹99 delivery charge, shown at checkout. Free shipping does not apply to international orders.
B2B orders of ₹19,999 and above additionally qualify for free ground / road freight within India, with standard transit times. Express, air freight and courier remain on the buyer's account. A valid GSTIN is required for B2B pricing tiers.

For reference, our standard order tiers are:

Distributor and reseller pricing is handled separately and is not published on this website. To discuss distribution in your area, please contact our team.

4. Export orders

We supply export buyers internationally. Export freight terms — such as EXW, FOB or CIF — incoterms, documentation, duties and clearance are agreed per order. Import duties, taxes and local clearance charges in the destination country are the buyer's responsibility unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

5. Delivery & transit

Transit times depend on destination, freight mode and carrier. We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers, customs, weather, force majeure or incorrect address or contact details provided by you. Please ensure delivery details and a reachable contact are accurate at the time of order.

6. Title & risk

Unless agreed otherwise in writing, risk in the goods passes to you on dispatch, and title passes once we have received payment in full. For export orders, risk and title follow the agreed incoterms.

7. Inspection on receipt

Please inspect every consignment at the time of delivery. If the outer packaging is damaged or the consignment appears tampered with or short, note it with the carrier at the point of delivery before signing, and photograph the cartons and contents. This evidence is required to support any claim.

8. Damage & shortage claims

Because our products are food ingredients, claims must be raised quickly so we can investigate with the carrier:

  • Report any transit damage, shortage or incorrect item within 48 hours of delivery to sales@theteaplanet.com or your account contact.
  • Include your invoice/order number, photographs of the outer carton, inner packaging and affected product, and batch details from the pack.
  • Do not discard the affected goods or packaging until the claim is resolved, as they may need to be inspected or returned.
  • Verified claims are resolved by replacement, credit or refund of the affected items, at our discretion.

9. Returns & refunds

Our products are perishable food ingredients with defined shelf lives. For food-safety and regulatory reasons we cannot accept returns of products that have been opened, used, or correctly supplied as ordered.

Returns or refunds are considered only where:

  • the product was damaged in transit and reported within the claim window above;
  • an incorrect item was supplied against your confirmed order; or
  • a genuine product defect attributable to manufacturing is identified, supported by batch details and evidence.

Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method or as account credit, for the value of the affected goods. Freight charges are non-refundable except where the fault is ours. We do not offer returns or refunds for change of mind, over-ordering, incorrect ordering by the buyer, or for products stored or handled outside the stated conditions.

10. Cancellations

Orders may be cancelled before dispatch by contacting us promptly; once an order has been dispatched it cannot be cancelled and is handled under the returns terms above. Made-to-order, custom and private-label orders cannot be cancelled once production has begun.

11. Storage & handling after delivery

You are responsible for storing and handling products as printed on the pack — typically in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and refrigerated after opening where indicated. Products stored or handled outside the stated conditions, or used after their best-before/use-by date, are not eligible for claims.
