1. Verification of Sales Order
To ensure we deliver exactly what you’ve envisioned, we kindly ask that you take a moment to verify the details on your sales order at the time of purchase. This includes the product, color, model, quantity, delivery address, and any special instructions you may have. These details help us plan your delivery and ensure that everything arrives just as you expect.
2. Delivery Timeline & Free Delivery Slots
At Teak World, we’re committed to delivering your products with care and flexibility. Our standard delivery lead time is typically 7–10 days from purchase (this may vary slightly during busy periods) on Mondays to Fridays, during normal business hours, unless otherwise agreed upon or unless we have notified you otherwise.
Enjoy Free Delivery on orders of Rs 5,000 or more.
For purchases under Rs 5,000, collection can be arranged from our store at your convenience.
We’ll offer you the flexibility to choose from available free delivery opportunities at the planning stage. This means our planners will provide you with delivery dates that best fit your schedule, ensuring a smooth experience.
Our Planning Team will offer you a selection of free delivery dates:
- First Date: The first available date for your delivery will be offered.
- Second Date: If the first date isn’t convenient, a second date will be provided, 2 days later.
- Third Date: If the second date still doesn’t work, we’ll offer a third date, which will be up to 7 days later.
After the Third Date: If all three offered dates are still not convenient, we will plan your delivery on a mutually agreed date which will however incur a delivery fee of Rs 2,500 Excluding VAT

* Orders with partial deposit must be settled in full within the set validity period.
* From 1 November 2025 onwards, unpaid orders will be scheduled only from February 2026.
