EXCHANGE, RETURN & CANCELLATION POLICY
At Dhakeswari Bastralaya, we are committed to providing our beloved customers with the ultimate shopping satisfaction. This is why we have crafted some functional return policies, which our customers can access if and when a product does not fit their desired needs.
We deeply regret the unfortunate even of a client wanting to return a product. But, in case they do, it is important to understand how our products are made.
* All the products are crafted by traditional artisans in rural India, resulting in each product being unique and slightly different from each other. Let’s not think of an irregular weave or print or a stitch as a defect. Any saree or shawl weaving by definition means a glorious uncertainty when it comes to uniformity.*
On that note, please read and understand our return, exchange and cancellation policy that applies to all, in case anyone wants to return a product.
DOMESTIC ORDERS:-
Dhakeswari Bastralaya will accept an order cancellation if a buyer cancels any orders before it has been shipped. In such a case, the company will refund the full amount to the customer within a short and stipulated time. A proportionate transaction fee will be deducted in this case. However, if the order is shipped, the company is not liable to cancel the order and issue a deduction fee.
To be eligible for cancellation, refund and exchange, a product order must fulfill the following conditions:
A.) Product is visibly damaged or defective.
