We deliver across India and also proudly ship our maps to customers around the world.

Once your order is dispatched, you will receive the available tracking details so you can follow your shipment.

Delivery timelines may vary depending on:
-
Delivery location

4. Shipping Charges
Applicable shipping charges, if any, will be communicated during checkout or before order confirmation, depending on the product, destination, and shipping method.
Shipping charges may vary based on:
-

-
Package dimensions
-
Weight
-
Delivery destination

5. Order Tracking
Once your order has been dispatched, tracking information will be shared through the available communication channel.
Please note that tracking updates are provided by the courier partner and may occasionally take some time to reflect after dispatch.
If you need assistance tracking your order, our team will be happy to help.
6. OTP-Based Delivery
Many courier partners now use OTP-based delivery verification for added security.
Customers must provide a correct and active mobile number while placing the order. The delivery partner may require the OTP sent to the registered mobile number before handing over the shipment.
Without successful OTP verification, the courier partner may be unable to complete the delivery.
Please ensure that the registered mobile number is reachable at the time of delivery.
7. Third-Party Shipping & Courier Partners
The Map Store uses independent third-party courier and logistics partners to deliver orders across India and internationally.
Once an order is handed over to the courier partner, the shipment is handled according to the courier company's operational processes, delivery network, tracking system, OTP verification process, and service conditions.
While our team will always assist customers with tracking and delivery-related concerns, certain delays, delivery attempts, route changes, or operational issues may be outside the direct control of The Map Store.
8. Change of Delivery Address
Need to update your delivery address?
Please contact us before your order is dispatched.
We will do our best to update the shipping details wherever possible.
Once the shipment has already been handed over to the courier partner, an address change may not always be possible.
9. Delivery Delays
We always aim to deliver your order within the estimated timeline.
However, occasional delays may occur due to circumstances beyond our direct control, including:
-
Severe weather
-
Natural events
-
Courier disruptions
-
High shipment volumes
-
Public holidays
-
Local restrictions
-
Remote delivery locations
-
Customs clearance for international shipments
If your delivery has exceeded the expected timeline, please contact our team with your order or tracking details and we will assist you in following up with the courier partner.
10. Damaged Package During Transit
Our maps are securely packed to minimize the risk of transit damage.
If the outer package appears significantly damaged at the time of delivery, we recommend taking photos or a video before opening it.
If your product is found to be damaged, defective, or incorrect, please contact us within 7 days of delivery with relevant photos/videos.
Our team will review the case and assist you according to our Returns, Replacements & Refund Policy.

Address

If you notice an error in your delivery details, please contact us as soon as possible before dispatch.
12. Failed Delivery / Customer Unavailable
Courier partners may attempt delivery according to their standard delivery process.
If a shipment cannot be delivered because:

The provided address is incorrect or incomplete,
-
The registered mobile number is unreachable,
-
OTP verification cannot be completed,
-
The customer cannot be contacted, or

14. Customs, Duties & Import Taxes
International shipments may be subject to customs duties, import taxes, clearance fees, or other local chargesdepending on the destination country's regulations.
Where applicable, these charges are payable by the customer and are not controlled by The Map Store.
Customs clearance may also occasionally add extra time to the delivery process.
We recommend checking your country's applicable import regulations before placing an order if you have any concerns.
15. International Order Returns
International orders are not eligible for return or exchange for change of mind due to the nature and cost of cross-border shipping.

Our team will review the issue and provide the most appropriate replacement or resolution.
16. Serviceability

-
Request an alternate delivery address,
-
Suggest an alternate courier option, or
-
Contact you with the best available solution.

In some cases, products may be dispatched separately depending on:
-
Product availability
-
Package size

Production timelines

Warehouse or logistics requirements
You may therefore receive more than one shipment or tracking number for the same order.
