1. Overview

At Drutoexpress, customer satisfaction is our top priority. We understand that sometimes things don't go as planned, and you may need a refund. This Refund Policy outlines the circumstances under which refunds are issued and the process for requesting them.

This policy applies to all orders placed through the Druto platform, including food delivery, grocery delivery, medicine delivery, and other services.

2. Eligibility for Refunds

You may be eligible for a refund in the following situations:

2.2 Order Cancellation by Druto

If Druto Express cancels your order due to operational issues, no delivery partners available, or other platform-related reasons, you are entitled to a full refund.

2.3 Wrong or Missing Items

If you receive incorrect items or if items are missing from your order, you may request a partial or full refund depending on the severity of the issue. Please report this within 2 hours of delivery.
