RETURN/ REPLACEMENT/CANCELLATION POLICY
All my sculptural and functional artworks are handmade and hand-drawn and hand carved by me; thus, there is bound to be some irregularities that only add to their beauty. Make sure to check out the dimensions carefully (provided in centimetres) to avoid surprises.
Once purchased, I will not be able to cancel the order due to the logistics involved. So may I please request you to make sure that you are fully happy with your order before placing it. If you have any questions, you can always connect with me over an email.
Due to fragile nature of ceramics, as a policy I will not be able to entertain any return or exchange unless a wrong product has been sent over (which has never happened so far, but just in case).
In case of any damage in transit, all you need to do is to notify me with an email/WhatsApp within 24 hours of order delivery with proper images of the box with 6 sides exterior and interior packaging, upon approval of the inspection; I will replace your order or return you the full amount of the product only excluding the shipping charges.
Please Note It is only the product price which I will be able to refund and when you had a free shipping, the shipping cost will be taken away from the product price.
The amount will be refunded to the same source from which the payment was made within 5-7 business days. Make sure you connect with me with any grievances regarding breakages in transit within 24 hours of receipt of your package. Any request after that will not be entertained.
I hope you love my work. All artworks are made in New Delhi, in my studio and will ship from my studio. All sales are final. If you have an issue with your order please contact me - teamsrinia@gmail.com
While photos are taken in good lighting setup but due to the nature of my items being handmade and the clay and glaze being natural materials, the photos that are shown to display my products may have minor differences when you receive the product. Please be aware that I will not be able to issue any refunds or exchange due to the item not looking exactly same as the image during the time of purchase. Please understand this is the beauty of handmade, each piece is completely unique.
