Shipping Policy

At OrangeBooks.in, we strive to ensure that your books are printed and delivered in a timely and efficient manner. This Shipping Policy outlines how orders are processed, shipped, and delivered for both domestic and international customers. By placing an order on www.orangebooks.in (and its subdomains), you agree to the terms mentioned in this Shipping Policy.

Order Processing & Print on Demand

All paperback and hardcover books sold through OrangeBooks.in are produced using Print on Demand (PoD) technology. This means that books are printed only after an order is placed. Production typically takes 4–7 business days before the order is dispatched for shipping. Production timelines may vary based on order volume, specifications, or unforeseen circumstances.

Shipping Within India

Orders shipped within India are delivered through our authorized courier partners where service is available. In locations where courier service is not available, shipments are dispatched via the Indian Postal Service.

Delivery timelines mentioned on the website are approximate and may vary depending on location, courier serviceability, weather conditions, or operational constraints. Customers are advised to place orders well in advance if delivery is required by a specific date.

International Shipping

International orders are shipped via the Indian Postal Service under International Book Post. Due to postal regulations, international book shipments are sent in open envelopes and are generally unregistered. As a result, tracking numbers may not be available for international shipments.

International delivery timelines are approximate and may vary significantly depending on the destination country, customs clearance, and postal regulations. OrangeBooks.in does not guarantee international delivery timelines.

Shipping Charges

Shipping charges include packaging, handling, courier or postal fees, and local transit charges. Shipping costs are calculated based on delivery location, order size, and shipping method, and are displayed at checkout where applicable.

Delays in Shipping

Shipping delays may occur due to high order volumes, operational issues, weather conditions, strikes, natural calamities, or other circumstances beyond our control. OrangeBooks.in shall not be liable for delays caused by such factors.

Tracking Information

For domestic shipments sent via courier partners, tracking details may be shared once the order is dispatched. For international shipments sent via Indian Postal Service, tracking may not be available due to unregistered shipping methods.

Incorrect Address or Failed Delivery

Customers are responsible for providing accurate and complete shipping details. OrangeBooks.in shall not be responsible for delays, losses, or non-delivery resulting from incorrect or incomplete address information provided by the customer. Any additional reshipping charges arising due to incorrect address details shall be borne by the customer.

Author Advisory

Authors and customers are strongly advised not to plan book launches, events, or public functions until they have physically received their book copies. OrangeBooks.in shall not be responsible for any loss, damage, or inconvenience arising from scheduling events prior to receipt of books.

eBook Delivery

For eBooks, download access may be time-limited. Customers are advised to securely download and store a copy of the eBook on their personal systems, as server-side access may be available only for a limited duration.

Policy Updates

OrangeBooks.in reserves the right to update or modify this Shipping Policy at any time without prior notice. Any changes will be posted on this page and will be effective immediately upon publication.
