Shipping & Returns FAQs

DO YOU SHIP INTERNATIONALLY?

Yes. We ship internationally to many destinations, subject to applicable shipping, customs and import regulations. We offer EMS Speed delivery to the US, UK, UAE, EU, Russia and many other global destinations.

HOW CAN I TRACK MY ORDER?

Once your order is processed, you will receive an email with your unique tracking number to monitor your package's journey from India to your doorstep. You can conveniently track your packages using either the official India Post website or various trusted third-party tracking apps and websites

WHAT ARE THE DELIVERY TIMELINES?

Standard international shipping typically takes 7–14 business days. Expedited shipping availability and costs depend on your order's weight, dimensions, and destination. Please contact our support team before placing your order to confirm availability and receive an accurate shipping quote.

International shipping rates start at $10 USD and vary based on the weight, dimensions, and contents of your order, as well as the destination. We offer free international shipping on orders of $150 USD or more. Your exact shipping cost will be calculated and displayed at checkout before you complete your purchase.

WHAT IS THE SHIPPING COST?

Although our parcels are shipped with the label "Personal Belongings," this does not guarantee exemption from customs duties or import taxes. Depending on your country's customs regulations, your order may be subject to import duties, taxes, or customs clearance fees upon arrival. These charges are determined by your local customs authority and are not included in your order total or shipping cost unless otherwise stated. We recommend checking with your local customs office before placing an order if you have questions about potential charges.

WILL I HAVE TO PAY CUSTOMS DUTIES OR IMPORT TAXES?

HOW ARE PARCELS LABELED?

To help facilitate international shipping, our parcels are shipped with the label "Personal Belongings." In most cases, shipments are delivered without additional customs duties or import taxes. However, customs regulations vary by country, and the final assessment of any customs duties, import taxes, or clearance requirements is determined solely by the destination country's customs authorities. This labeling does not guarantee exemption from applicable fees or inspections.

WHAT IF MY PACKAGE IS DELAYED?

While most orders arrive within the estimated delivery timeframe, occasional delays may occur due to customs inspections, carrier issues, severe weather, holidays, or other unforeseen circumstances. If your tracking information has not been updated for an extended period or your package has exceeded the estimated delivery time, please contact our support team. We'll work with the shipping carrier to investigate the delay and keep you informed throughout the process.

WHAT IF MY PACKAGE ARRIVES DAMAGED?

If your package arrives damaged, please contact our support team within 48 hours of delivery. Include your order number, a description of the damage, and clear photos of the package and the damaged item(s). We'll review your claim as quickly as possible and, if approved, arrange a replacement, refund, or another appropriate resolution.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY PACKAGE IS LOST?

If your package appears to be lost in transit, please contact our support team. We'll work with the shipping carrier to investigate the shipment. If the carrier confirms that the package has been lost, we'll arrange an appropriate resolution, such as a replacement or refund, in accordance with our shipping policy.

CAN I CHANGE MY SHIPPING ADDRESS AFTER PLACING AN ORDER?

Yes, you may request a shipping address change as long as your order has not yet been processed or shipped. Please contact our support team as soon as possible with your order number and the correct shipping address. Once an order has been shipped, we are generally unable to change the delivery address.

CAN I CANCEL MY ORDER BEFORE IT SHIPS?

No. Once an order has been placed, it cannot be canceled due to the complexities of currency exchange, international payment processing, and the associated transaction fees. Please review your order carefully before completing your purchase. If you have any questions, we're happy to assist you before you place your order.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I REFUSE DELIVERY OR DON'T PAY CUSTOMS FEES?

If you refuse delivery or choose not to pay any applicable customs duties, import taxes, or clearance fees, your shipment may be returned to us or held by the shipping carrier or customs authorities, depending on the destination country's regulations.

If the parcel is successfully returned, we may be able to reship it, depending on the circumstances. Additional shipping charges and any applicable customs fees will be the responsibility of the customer. Please contact our support team to discuss the available options.

Tracking updates may not appear immediately and can occasionally pause while your package is in transit. This is most common when a shipment is being processed by customs, transferred between carriers, or traveling between tracking checkpoints.

If your tracking has not been updated for an extended period or your package has exceeded the estimated delivery timeframe, please contact our support team. We'll be happy to investigate the shipment with the carrier and provide any available updates

WHY IS MY TRACKING NOT UPDATING?

Orders are securely packed using appropriate protective packaging to help protect products during international transit. Customs declarations and shipping documentation are completed as required by applicable regulations.

HOW ARE ORDERS PACKAGED?

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I ENTERED THE WRONG SHIPPING ADDRESS?

If you entered an incorrect shipping address, please contact our support team immediately. If your order has not yet been shipped, we may be able to update the address. Once the order has been shipped, we are generally unable to make any changes. If the package is returned to us, we may be able to reship it, but additional shipping charges may apply.

We're here to help! If you couldn't find the answer you were looking for, please don't hesitate to contact our support team. We'll be happy to assist you with any questions about your order, shipping, or our products, and we'll respond as quickly as possible.
