Shipping & Delivery Policy

Introduction

LAIYO endeavour to deliver products to the recipient as per the delivery option selected by User while placing the order. The delivery time is subject to location you provided for delivery. For the convenience and requirement of Customer, LAIYO provides two options of deliveries, Fixed Time Deliveries and Free Deliveries. LAIYO charges nominal amount from customers for selecting fixed time delivery and such charges displays on webpage while selecting the timeframe for delivery. However under Fixed Time Deliveries, LAIYO is obliged to deliver your product as per your opted time but it is always subject to factors beyond its reasonable control (“Force Majeure Events”) including unexpected travel delays from our courier partners and transporters due to weather conditions, political disruptions, strikes, war, lockdown or other unforeseen circumstances. In such cases, we will proactively reach out to you. Please check your e-mails and SMS regularly for updates.

Flowers may be delivered in fully bloomed, semi-bloomed or bud stage. Since cakes are perishable in nature, we attempt delivery of your order only once. The delivery cannot be redirected to any other address.

Before any festival or major occasions, we suggest you to place your order at least five days in advance.
