In case you’ve missed the 12PM cut-off time for Same-day Guarantee delivery, you may choose In-a-day Guarantee to get your order delivered within the next business day. But make sure you place your order by 6PM. In-a-Day Guarantee delivery option is chargeable at Rs 90 per item in your order.

Please check with your location’s pincode on the product page to see if these expedited delivery options are indeed available in your area.

How can I avail the Same-day/In-a-day Guarantee delivery options?

First, check with your location's pincode on the product page if the Same-day/In-a-day Guarantee Delivery options are available. Depending on how quickly you want your order delivered, select either of these two expedited delivery options.

What is the ‘guarantee’ that an order will be delivered within the specified time?

For the Same-day Guarantee option, orders placed before 12PM will delivered by 9PM the same day. For the In-a-day Guarantee option, orders placed before 6PM will be delivered within the next business day.

In case our courier partner is unable to initiate the Same-day Guarantee/In-a-day Guarantee within the promised time, we will remit the shipping charges borne by you to your Flipkart Wallet. This is refundable.

Additionally, under our Money-back Guarantee we will deposit twice the shipping charges borne by you to your Wallet. This can be used towards any purchases on Flipkart and is non-refundable.

We hope you understand that we cannot guarantee Same-day/In-a-day Guarantee Delivery to commercial establishments on Saturdays and Sundays, as they might be closed. The Money-back Guarantee is not applicable in such a case.

How is a 'business day' different from a regular day?

A business day is defined as each 'working day' of the week. The expected date of delivery is calculated based on business days. Typically, these include the days Monday through Saturday. Public holidays and Sundays are usually not considered.

For the In-a-day Guarantee option, we are now delivering to select locations on Sundays. Check with your pincode to know if your location qualifies. Check the specified date of delivery while placing your order.

You will see the expected date of delivery while placing the order, depending on the delivery option you select.

The entry of Amazon has forced Flipkart to improve further. Earlier 2-day Guaranteed delivery, then next day. And now same day! Critics might question the pricing, but good service comes at a price.
