Product

What about the quality of snacks and other products listed on the website?

We take utmost care to maintain the quality of the products we sell. All our vendors are reputed brands of South India and all the products sold on our website are hygienic and 100% authentic made using pure ingredients. e.g – Banana chips are made of freshly cut banana wafers and pure coconut oil. So, do not worry about the quality. Just give us a try and you will love the taste and our service.

Do you use coconut oil for preparing banana chips?

This is a trending question and we hear this from almost all of our first time customers :-). The answer is – YES. A big yes. We believe in selling authentic South Indian products that are prepared using 100% pure and original ingredients. So, there is no chance we sell Banana chips made using any other oil than pure coconut oil.

Payment

Is the payment process secure enough?

The answer is Yes. Our payment gateway partners are PayUMoney and Razorpay. They are among the most reputed payment gateway providers in India. PayUMoney offers 100% buyer protection.

So, it is fully safe to make an online transaction on our website.

Also, Razorpay offers quick and hassle free payment options. You may also pay through wallets like Mobikwik using the Razorpay payment gateway. Contact us in case you have further questions about the safety and security related to the payment gateway.

How many days it takes to deliver the order

Once we receive an order from your end and we get a confirmation of the payment, we process the order either the same day or the very next working day.

Metro city : 3-4 working days

Non Metro city : 4-6 working days

South Indian states : 2-3 working days (Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh)

Tamil Nadu : 1-2 working ays

Can I place an order on weekends or holidays?

Yes, you can place an order 24 x 7. That is the benefit of online shopping. Having said that we would also like to inform you that orders placed during weekdays are processed faster than the orders placed on weekends. The reason being most of the courier companies and our snack vendors are not operating on weekends/ holidays and hence the order processing may get delayed by a day or two.
