What is Metropolitan
Overview
Metropolitan refers to the Metropolitan brand operating in India, covering services such as wholesale ordering and insurance-related products depending on the business line. The platform discussed here follows Metro/Metropolitan procedures for order cancellation and refunds on its web-based wholesale platform.
Key scope
The cancellation and refund rules referenced apply to transactions processed through the Metro/Metropolitan web wholesale platform. There is no verified separate consumer-facing mobile app cancellation flow for India.
How to cancel Metropolitan
Before invoice generation
- Cancel the order fully via the Metro wholesale web portal before an invoice is generated and processed.
- Confirm cancellation through the order/cancellation screen and save any confirmation ID or screenshot.
After invoice generation
- Once an invoice has been generated, only full-order cancellations are permitted; partial cancellations are not allowed.
- If the order has already been shipped, note that shipping charges for shipped orders are non-refundable.
What happens when you cancel
Access and services
After a cancellation is accepted, access to any goods or services tied to that specific order is terminated. If physical goods were dispatched, return/shipping rules apply.
Renewals and data
Cancellations do not automatically affect unrelated subscriptions or future renewals unless you explicitly cancel those services separately.
Account data (order history, cancellation records) is normally retained according to the platform's data policies.
Will I get a refund?

Timing and exceptions
- Refund initiation: within 7 business days from cancellation acceptance.
- Shipping charges for shipped orders are non-refundable.
- No statutory 14-day 'cooling-off' refund is referenced; return window is defined as 7 days post-invoice.

Your consumer rights in India
Statutory expectations
Indian consumer law provides protections, but Metropolitan’s publicly stated policies do not reference a statutory 14-day cooling-off right for online orders.
What applies to you
- Customers should rely primarily on the platform’s published cancellation and refund procedures.
- If you believe your statutory consumer rights under Indian law are being breached, you may pursue remedies through consumer grievance channels or legal advice outside the platform’s procedure.

Documentation checklist
Before you request cancellation
- Order ID / invoice number (if generated).
- Payment proof or transaction reference.
- Account username or registered email/phone number.
Supporting documents to keep
- Cancellation confirmation screenshots or emails.
- Any communication history with customer support (dates, agent names, reference IDs).
- Return shipment tracking details, if goods were dispatched.
Common mistakes
Trying partial cancellations after invoice
A common error is requesting partial cancellations once an invoice has been generated. Metro’s policy allows only full-order cancellations after invoicing.
Expecting cash refunds or shipping charge refunds
Customers sometimes expect cash refunds; Metro processes refunds to the Metro wallet or original non-cash payment method only.
Also, shipping charges for already shipped orders are non-refundable - plan returns accordingly.
