1) Serviceable Locations
- We currently ship only within India.
- International shipping is not available at this time.
2) Shipping Charges
Standard shipping (when the above offer ends):
- Flat ₹60 for orders below 3 T-shirts.
- Free shipping for orders of 3 T-shirts or more.
- Shipping offers and charges may change without prior notice; the applicable charge will always be shown at checkout (or in the final quote for offline/bulk orders).
3) Order Processing & Dispatch
- Orders are typically dispatched within 48 hours from Chennai.
- Dispatch timelines may vary for:
- Custom-made or personalised items
- Bulk or corporate orders
- Peak seasons and holidays
- Courier disruptions or operational issues
- Address or payment verification delays
- “Dispatch” means the parcel is handed over to the courier and a tracking number is generated.
4) Courier Partners
- We ship across India primarily using DTDC and Professional Couriers.
- The chosen courier depends on pincode serviceability and operational feasibility.
5) Tracking Updates
- Tracking details (AWB/Tracking ID) are shared once the order is shipped.
- Tracking scans may take some time to appear in the courier system after dispatch.
6) Estimated Delivery Timelines
- Delivery time depends on your pincode, local courier network, weather conditions, and operational constraints.
- Remote or out-of-delivery-area (ODA) locations may take longer than metro or urban areas.
- All delivery timelines are estimates, not guarantees; delays by courier partners are outside our direct control.
7) Address Accuracy & Delivery Attempts
- Customers are responsible for providing the correct full address, pincode, and a reachable phone number.
- If delivery fails due to incorrect address, unavailable recipient, phone unreachable, or refusal to accept the parcel, the shipment may be returned to origin (RTO).
8) RTO, Re-shipping & Extra Charges
- If an order is returned to us (RTO) due to customer-side issues (wrong address, refused delivery, repeated failed attempts), re-shipping may require additional shipping charges.
- We will inform you of any applicable re-shipping charges before resending the parcel.
9) Change of Address Requests
- If you need to change the shipping address, please contact us immediately.
- Address changes are possible only before dispatch.
- Once shipped, any change depends on courier feasibility and is not guaranteed.
10) Package Tampering / Open Delivery
- If you receive a parcel that appears tampered with or open, please take clear photos or videos before opening it.
- Contact us immediately with these details so we can coordinate with the courier and support you with the next steps.
11) Support for Damaged / Incorrect Deliveries
- If your order arrives damaged or incorrect, we will support a replacement or return in line with our Return/Refund/Cancellation Policy.
- Please share photos/videos (preferably an unboxing video) as soon as possible after delivery for faster assessment and resolution.
- For approved cases, we will cover courier charges as per policy.
