Policy

No Return Policy

The short version

ReturnsNot accepted
ExchangesNot accepted
Damaged or wrong itemReplaced free — report within 48 hours of delivery with an unboxing video
Order cancellationFree any time before the order is marked Shipped
RefundsOnly where we cancel the order, or the piece is out of stock, or you were charged twice

Every piece is made, checked and photographed by hand before it ships. We would rather be straight with you before you pay than hide this in the small print.

We do not accept returns or exchanges

Once an order is delivered it cannot be returned or exchanged. This includes, but is not limited to:

Please read the description and check the photographs carefully before you order. If anything at all is unclear — size, length, weight, stone or shade — message us before paying and we will answer honestly, even if the answer costs us the sale.

What we do cover

Two situations are always our responsibility, and we fix them at our own cost:

In both cases we send a free replacement. You do not pay shipping, and you do not pay again for the piece.

How to claim — please read before opening the parcel

  1. Record an unboxing video before you open the packaging. Start with the sealed parcel, show the shipping label clearly, then open it on camera in one continuous shot.
  2. Send the video to us within 48 hours of delivery at contact@houseofsharvi.com or on WhatsApp, along with your order number.
  3. We check it and confirm the replacement, usually the same working day.
  4. You do not need to send the damaged piece back. Keep it or discard it — we will not ask you to pay for a return courier.

Why the video is not optional

It is the only way we can tell transit damage from damage after delivery, and it is what the courier asks us for when we raise a claim. Without a continuous unboxing video a claim cannot be verified, and we are not able to accept it. Photographs alone are not enough. We know this feels strict — it is the one rule that lets us keep replacements free for everyone else.

The 48-hour window

The 48 hours are counted from the delivery time recorded by the courier, not from when you opened the parcel. You can see that timestamp on your tracking page, so there is nothing to argue about either way.

If you are travelling or the parcel was received by someone else, tell us as soon as you know — write to us within the window even if you cannot record the video immediately, and we will note it against your order.

Made-to-order and personalised pieces

Anything customised, personalised, engraved or made to your measurement cannot be returned, exchanged or replaced, because it cannot be sold to anyone else. The only exception is damage in transit, claimed with an unboxing video exactly as above. We confirm every detail of a custom order in writing before starting work — please check that message carefully.

Cancellations

You can cancel free of charge any time before your order is marked Shipped — just write to us with your order number. You get a full refund of everything you paid, including shipping.

Once the parcel has been handed to the courier it cannot be cancelled, and because returns are not accepted, it cannot be sent back either. Please cancel early if you have changed your mind.

When we do refund

Refunds are rare, but there are cases where the money is clearly yours:

Refunds go back to the same method you paid with — the same UPI ID, card or bank account. We start the refund within 7 business days of approving it; your bank may take a further 3–7 business days to show it.

For a Cash on Delivery order we refund by bank transfer and will ask you for the account number and IFSC. We never ask for your card number, PIN, CVV or an OTP — anyone who does is not us.

If a coupon was used, we refund the amount you actually paid, not the pre-discount value.

Your legal rights

Nothing in this policy takes away the rights you have under Indian consumer law for goods that are defective, unsafe or not as described. This policy sets out how we handle those situations — it does not replace the law. If you believe we have got something wrong, write to us first and give us a fair chance to fix it at contact@houseofsharvi.com. We answer every message ourselves.

Still have a question?

We would rather answer one more question than have you unsure about something. Write to us and a real person from our studio will reply.
