Qretto ensures to provide a delightful customer experience by delivering the products as per the Estimated Delivery Date communicated as above, however, at times there might be unexpected delays in the delivery of your order due to unavoidable and undetermined logistics challenges beyond our control for which Qretto is not liable and would request its users to cooperate as Qretto continuously tries to nought such instances.
