Frequently asked questions
- Can I return items on Blinkit?
- Most grocery items are non-returnable — you get refunds for damaged, expired or wrong items reported in-app within hours of delivery. Select apparel and electronics support a 10-minute return/exchange flow where serviced.
- How fast is a Blinkit refund?
- About 3 business days to the source payment method; wallet credit can be near-instant.
- How do I report a wrong or missing Blinkit item?
- Use the in-app help on that order right after delivery — attach photos for damaged items. Claims reported within hours have the best approval odds.
Why refunds get delayed
- Item failed quality check at the merchant's warehouse.
- Original payment instrument was deactivated or expired.
- Bank holiday / weekend interrupts the settlement cycle.
- Refund routed to wallet by default — needs manual transfer to bank.
