Shipping policy
last updated: october 22, 2026
where we ship
- we ship across India only, to any serviceable pin code.
- we don't ship internationally right now.
cost
- standard shipping is free on every order across India.
when it ships
- in-stock items (like wall prints): dispatched within 2–3 business days of your order.
- pre-order pieces: made after you order and dispatched once ready. the estimated production time is shown on each product page.
- if your order has both pre-order and in-stock items, we ship everything together when the pre-order pieces are ready, unless you ask us to send the in-stock items first.
- if production runs late, we'll email you with a new date. if a pre-order is delayed more than 2 weeks past the estimate, you can cancel for a full refund.
delivery time
- orders are dispatched and delivered within 1–2 weeks. remote areas can take longer.
- business days are monday to saturday, excluding public holidays.
tracking
- when your order ships, you'll get an email with a tracking link from our courier partner.
payment
- every order is prepaid via Razorpay (UPI, cards, netbanking, wallets).
- no cash on delivery (COD).
failed or missed delivery
- please give a correct address, pin code and phone number. our courier partner may call before delivering.
- if delivery fails (no one available, wrong address, unreachable phone, or refused), the courier usually tries again before returning the parcel to us.
- if it comes back to us, we'll contact you. we'll reship it once for free, or if you'd rather, refund you the full amount with no deductions.
- we can't change the address after dispatch. message us before then if it needs fixing.
lost or damaged in transit
- if tracking shows no movement for 7 days, we treat the parcel as lost. contact us and we'll replace it or refund you in full.
- for damage, follow the 48-hour unboxing video rule in our refund & returns policy.
