Shipping

Heavy boxes, honest windows

A 262-piece tool chest is the hardest parcel in this catalogue to move. Everything below is how it is packed and sent.

Packed in

1-2 business days
Picked, checked and boxed at our Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh workspace.

In transit

2-4 business days to a metro, 4-8 business days to the rest of India.

Door to door

3-6 business days to a metro address and 5-10 business days elsewhere
Counting our packing time, start to finish.

Dispatch and handling

Anything confirmed before 3:00 PM IST on a working day joins that evening’s pickup; anything after it is packed the next working morning. We dispatch Monday to Saturday and do not ship on Sundays or public holidays.

Socket sets and mechanics chests are strapped inside their case before the case goes in the carton, because a loose socket becomes a hammer in transit. Compressors travel upright with the outlet protected. Edged and pointed tools are guarded separately.

What shipping costs

Free shipping on orders of ₹1,499 and above; a flat ₹79 applies below that. We do not charge more for a distant PIN code, and we do not fold the courier fee into the product price.

Cash on Delivery is available across most of the country. A few remote PIN codes sit outside our couriers’ COD network, and very high-value baskets may be prepaid only; in both cases the checkout tells you before you place the order.

Couriers and tracking

A tracking link goes out by email on the day we hand the parcel over. Courier scans can lag by a day, particularly over a weekend, so a link that looks frozen on Saturday is usually moving again by Monday. If it has genuinely not updated in seventy-two hours, tell us and we will chase the courier ourselves.

Addresses we cannot reach

  • India only — we do not ship internationally
  • Street addresses only; no PO boxes, no APO or FPO addresses
  • a parcel returned as undeliverable can be re-dispatched, charged at the flat rate above

Questions about a delivery go to Bhopal Tools at service@bhopaltools.shop, and we answer during Customer service: 5:30 AM – 9:00 PM IST, daily

Orders placed after 3:00 PM IST are picked up the next working day. We do not dispatch on days the shop is closed or on public holidays, and delivery windows are estimates rather than guaranteed dates.
