In case of any unforeseen delay in processing your order, we will notify you without fail.
Shipping within India
Shipping to anywhere in India is absolutely free. Orders placed from metro cities are usually delivered the next day from the day of dispatch, but due to the disruption of couriers due to the COVID-19 crisis, we will be taking a grace period of 8 working days. For smaller cities and remote addresses, we keep a grace period of up to 12 working days. Please note that we will be unable to match up with the shipping schedules for orders with incomplete addresses or wrong contact information.
