Frequently Asked Questions
When will I receive my refund?
Once we receive and inspect the returned item, we initiate the refund within 1 business day. After initiation, it takes 5–7 business days for the amount to reflect in your account, depending on your bank.
What if I paid via Cash on Delivery?
COD refunds are processed via bank transfer (NEFT/IMPS). Please contact us with your bank account details after your return is approved. Refunds are typically credited within 3–5 business days.
Can I get a refund without returning the item?
In cases of missing items, wrong items where we ask you to keep the item, or significant product defects verified via photos, we may issue a refund or replacement without requiring a return.
What if my refund amount is incorrect?
If the refunded amount differs from what you expected, please contact us within 7 days of receiving the refund with your order number and bank statement. We will investigate and resolve it promptly.
Can I exchange instead of getting a refund?
Yes! If you prefer an exchange for a different size, colour, or product, mention this when submitting your return request. Exchanges are subject to availability. Any price difference will be collected or refunded accordingly.
Will the shipping charge be refunded?
Shipping charges are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error (wrong item, damaged product, or missing item). In those cases, the full order total including shipping is refunded.
