Processing and Delivery Timelines

Stage Timeline
Order processing (verification, packing, courier handoff) 1–2 business days
Courier transit (dispatch to delivery) 2–5 business days
Total estimated delivery 3–7 business days

What counts as a business day? Monday through Saturday, excluding Sundays and public holidays. An order placed on Friday evening may not begin processing until Monday.

Example: You order an iPhone 16 case on a Tuesday afternoon. Processing takes 1–2 business days (Wednesday or Thursday). The courier then takes 2–5 business days. You can expect delivery between Friday of the same week and the following Wednesday.

Metro cities typically receive deliveries faster than tier-2 or tier-3 locations, depending on courier network reach.

Cash on Delivery (COD)

COD is available across India at checkout. You pay the courier in cash when your order arrives.

Important COD details:

  • COD orders may be verified before dispatch (via call, SMS, or WhatsApp) to confirm your address and intent. This is standard practice to reduce failed deliveries.
  • Keep the exact order amount ready. Couriers may not carry change.
  • COD refunds are processed as exchanges only, not cash refunds.
  • Refusing a COD delivery without a valid reason triggers a Return to Origin (RTO), which may result in cancellation charges.

Practitioners on Reddit frequently discuss COD risks with lesser-known online stores. Clear verification before dispatch and reliable tracking after it are what separate a smooth COD experience from a frustrating one. The Goodify verifies COD orders to protect both the buyer and the business.

COD delivery day checklist:

  • Keep the exact payment amount ready
  • Keep your registered phone number reachable
  • Make sure someone is available at the delivery address
  • Check tracking updates via SMS, WhatsApp, or the tracking page
  • Do not refuse delivery without contacting support first

Online Payment Options

The Goodify accepts prepaid payments through standard online methods including UPI, debit cards, credit cards, and net banking. Prepaid orders generally process faster and have significantly lower delivery failure rates compared to COD.

Order Tracking

After your order is dispatched, you will receive a tracking number (also called an AWB number) via email or SMS.

How to track your order:

  1. Use the tracking number on The Goodify’s Track123 order tracking page.
  2. You can also copy the AWB number and check directly on the courier partner’s website.

When does tracking become active? Tracking updates typically appear 12–24 hours after dispatch. The AWB number is generated when the courier picks up your parcel, and the first scan may take a few hours to reflect online.

Tracking not updating?

  • No movement for 24–48 hours after dispatch is normal, especially if the AWB was just generated.
  • If tracking shows no update beyond 48 hours after dispatch, contact our support team with your order number.

Delivery Attempts and Failed Delivery

Our courier partners typically make 2–3 delivery attempts before marking an order as undeliverable.

Common reasons for failed delivery:

  • Incorrect or incomplete address (missing flat number, wrong pincode)
  • Phone number unreachable or unanswered
  • No one available at the delivery address
  • COD amount not ready or delivery refused

What is an NDR? A Non-Delivery Report is the status a courier raises after a failed attempt. If we contact you to confirm your address or reschedule delivery, respond quickly. Delays in responding lead to more failed attempts and eventual RTO.

What is RTO? Return to Origin means the parcel is sent back to us after all delivery attempts fail. RTO costs time for you and money for both sides. Keeping your address accurate and phone reachable prevents most RTO situations.

Amazon Shipping India cites industry data showing roughly 26% RTO on COD orders versus under 2% for prepaid orders. The pattern is consistent: incomplete addresses and unreachable phone numbers cause most delivery failures.

Address Guidelines

Before placing your order, double-check these details:

  • Full name (as it appears on your ID, for COD verification)
  • House/flat number (not just building name)
  • Street and locality
  • Landmark (if your area is hard to locate)
  • City and state
  • Correct pincode
  • Active mobile number where you can receive calls

Operators on Reddit’s r/EcommerceIndia consistently report that landmark-only addresses, missing flat numbers, and wrong pincodes are among the top reasons for failed deliveries. One seller described having to manually call customers on COD orders because incomplete addresses kept triggering returns.

Can I change my address after placing an order? Contact support immediately. Address changes are straightforward before dispatch. Once the courier has the parcel, changes depend on whether the courier allows mid-transit rerouting, and most Indian couriers have limited flexibility here.

Cancellation After Dispatch

Once your order has been dispatched, a 30% cancellation fee applies. This covers the forward logistics cost already incurred. If you need to cancel, contact support before dispatch to avoid this charge.

Damaged, Wrong, or Missing Items

If your package arrives damaged, opened, or contains the wrong product:

  1. Document everything. Take photos of the outer package (before fully opening if possible), shipping label, any visible damage, inner packaging, and all items received.
  2. For phone cases, photograph the model name on the packaging and the case itself. If you ordered a MagSafe-compatible case for iPhone 15 but received one for iPhone 14, a photo showing the model mismatch speeds up resolution.
  3. Contact support with your order number and photos within the return window.

The Goodify has a 3-day return window from the date of delivery. Act quickly if something is wrong.

“Delivered” but Not Received

If tracking shows “Delivered” but you do not have the parcel:

  • Check with family members or roommates
  • Ask your building security or reception desk
  • Check with neighbors
  • Look in your mailbox or any alternate delivery spot
  • Note the delivery time shown in tracking

Save a screenshot of the tracking page showing delivered status, then contact support with your order number. We will coordinate with the courier for a delivery investigation.

Returns and Refunds (Summary)

  • Return window: 3 days from delivery
  • COD orders: Exchange only (no cash refund)
  • Prepaid orders: Refund or exchange as per policy
  • Cancellation after dispatch: 30% fee applies

For full details, visit The Goodify’s Return and Refund Policy page.
