• what happens if there is a delay
• how returns, replacements, and refunds are handled
• how seller warranty works

If you ever need help, our team is here for you.

At HGWorld, trust is not a slogan — it is the foundation of how we work. We believe in clarity, responsibility, and long-term trust.

All shipping, pickup, QC, refund, and service timelines are calculated in working days only. Sundays and public holidays are not counted as working days. Eligible in-stock standard orders received up to 11:00 AM are usually dispatched the same day by 7:00 PM. Orders placed after the cutoff move to the next dispatch cycle. Preloaded and customized products require preparation, testing, and setup before dispatch. These orders usually become dispatch-ready in 3 to 4 working days. In higher customization, larger game-list, new game requirement, or high-order-volume cases, this may extend up to 6 to 7 working days. If a product is on pre-order, the expected dispatch timeline is shown on the product page before you place the order. We ship through trusted courier partners based on pincode serviceability, payment mode, and order type. Delivery partner selection may vary to ensure better coverage, speed, and reliability. Delivery timelines depend on your pincode, courier route, and shipping mode selected at checkout. Standard ground shipping is available across India. Priority air delivery is available on eligible orders and eligible pincodes. Air / priority shipping may be available at checkout on eligible products and serviceable pincodes. Rare courier delays can happen due to weather, festivals, route issues, regional backlogs, remote-location handling, or operational disruptions. If your order is delayed, our team actively follows up and supports you with updates and resolution. If the courier partner attempts delivery but the customer is unavailable, unreachable, provides an incomplete address, or refuses delivery, the case may require reattempt instead of being treated as a seller-side delay. Tracking details are shared once your order is dispatched. If tracking updates appear slow, it does not automatically mean there is a problem. Courier scans can update with delay in some cases. Our team can still help check the latest movement if required.

If a genuine issue is verified in an eligible case, we work to provide the most appropriate resolution as per the product listing, support terms, and policy framework. You may be eligible for support under this policy if:

• the wrong item was delivered
• the product does not match the core promise of the listing
• the product is damaged in transit
• a promised key item or specification is missing
• a genuine issue is verified and approved under policy

For transit damage, wrong item, or major visible delivery issues, please record a clear and unedited unboxing video and inform us within 30mins of delivery. This helps us resolve genuine claims faster and protect both the customer and the process. For all eligible cases, our priority is to provide the correct and practical resolution. The usual resolution order is:

• repair / correction / refill support where applicable
• replacement support if repair is not possible
• refund support only if a proper resolution cannot be completed.

Refund is not an automatic outcome for every issue. It is processed only in approved cases where repair or replacement cannot be completed as per the product, issue, and support/warranty framework. The usual process is: Pickup requests are usually initiated the same day or the next working day. Actual pickup by the courier usually happens within 1 to 3 working days, depending on pincode, locality, and courier serviceability. In rare non-serviceable cases, we may guide you to self-ship the product through a nearby courier. Reasonable shipping reimbursement may be supported after prior approval. Refunds, where approved, are initiated only after applicable verification and policy review are completed. In many approved cases, refunds are initiated the same day or by the next working day after approval. The amount usually reflects quickly, but depending on the payment partner or bank, it may take around 4 to 7 working days to appear.

Our responsibility does not end at delivery. We stay with the customer through troubleshooting, warranty support, repair, replacement, and guidance. Warranty depends on the product listing and the product condition. The product page will clearly mention whether the product comes with:

• manufacturer warranty
• seller warranty
• extended warranty option
• or other applicable support terms

For products covered under seller warranty, support follows a structured resolution process. Our usual resolution approach is:

• Step 1: diagnosis and repair attempt
• Step 2: replacement support if repair is not possible
• Step 3: refund support only if repair and replacement cannot be completed

This process allows us to provide the most practical and fair solution while protecting both customer experience and product integrity. Once a seller-warranty request is raised, the process usually follows:

• Seller warranty does not always mean instant replacement
• All cases go through inspection and diagnosis
• Resolution depends on issue type, product condition, parts availability, technical dependency, and feasibility
• Timelines may vary slightly based on logistics, workload, or technical requirements
• Customers are updated throughout the support journey

Our goal is always to help you properly, not delay you. We request your support and patience in rare cases where technical or parts-related dependency extends the process. For products covered under manufacturer warranty, service is handled by the brand / manufacturer or their authorised service network as per their own warranty terms and process. In such cases, the customer may need to:

• contact the manufacturer or authorised service centre directly
• share invoice / proof of purchase
• follow the manufacturer’s service process and timelines

Where possible, our team may still help guide you with basic direction, but final warranty service in such cases remains subject to the manufacturer’s own policy, approval, and process. Pickup and drop support is available on eligible products and eligible service cases across India. Even beyond standard warranty, paid repair or guidance support may be available on selected products, depending on product type and serviceability. We believe in:

• respectful communication
• no blame game
• clear updates
• real ownership
• practical solutions

We support secure payment options through trusted checkout methods. Available payment options may include UPI, debit cards, credit cards, EMI / finance options, and COD on eligible orders. Cash on Delivery is available only on eligible products, order values, pincodes, and courier combinations. COD may not be available on all items or all locations. Some low-value products may be prepaid only. This helps us keep prices fair, reduce fake COD orders, and serve genuine buyers better. Some products may require a small confirmation amount before processing. This may apply especially to custom, special-preparation, preloaded, or setup-based orders. This is done to begin preparation work, reduce fake orders, and maintain fair pricing. The final payable amount at checkout may change depending on:

• shipping mode
• pincode serviceability
• COD eligibility
• selected add-ons
• offers or coupon logic
• customization or service selections

Customized, preloaded, or special-preparation products may require prepaid or confirmation-based flow because preparation starts before dispatch. EMI or finance options may be available on eligible products and platforms, subject to current eligibility.    

We believe customers should always know exactly what they are buying. That is why we clearly explain product conditions before purchase.

• you know what condition you are buying
• you understand the savings clearly
• you get transparent warranty/support information
• you can choose what fits your budget best

If you are unsure which condition is right for you, contact our team before ordering.    

Pickup and drop support is available on eligible repair, warranty, exchange, and support cases. Selected products may be eligible for exchange or buy-back support. Final value depends on the product model, condition, and inspection. For service support, our team may ask for:

• product details
• issue description
• photos or video
• invoice or order details
• unboxing or proof video where relevant

The usual process is: For eligible products and services, additional support such as game refueling or related add-on servicing may be available. Availability depends on product type and current service scope. If pickup is not available in your area, our team may guide you with a self-shipping option. Please confirm the shipping method and reimbursement eligibility with us first.
