5. Order Tracking

Real-Time Tracking

As soon as your shipment is picked up by our logistics partner, an automated confirmation is sent to your registered email address and WhatsApp/SMS containing a direct tracking link and AWB number.

You can also check live transit status at any time by visiting our dedicated Help Centre or contacting customer support with your 5-digit HI-Homes Order Number.

6. Delivery Address & Contact Details

Courier Coordination

Please ensure that your delivery address includes a complete street name, landmark, and valid 6-digit pin code. Couriers require an active mobile phone number to coordinate delivery attempts and send OTP verification.

If you need to update your shipping address after placing an order, please contact us within 12 hours at hihomes.store@gmail.com. Address changes cannot be processed once the package has departed our dispatch facility.

7. Delayed Deliveries

Escalation Support

While over 95% of our deliveries arrive within the estimated window, unforeseen delays may occasionally arise due to adverse weather, festival volume surges, regional transportation strikes, or remote logistics routing.

If your package has exceeded its estimated transit time by more than 3 business days without a tracking update, please contact our escalation desk at +91 8090910988 so we can prioritize an investigation with senior courier management.

9. Undelivered Orders & RTO

3 Delivery Attempts

Our courier partners will make up to three attempts to deliver your rug. If delivery fails due to incorrect address details, unavailable recipient, or refused acceptance, the shipment will be returned to our Gurugram facility (Return-to-Origin / RTO).

In the event of an RTO for non-contactable recipients, re-dispatch charges will apply to re-ship the product.
