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.
