SHIPPING POLICY

Last Updated: 12 October 2026

At Aarambha, we take care in preparing every order and aim to provide a smooth delivery experience for customers in India and eligible international destinations.

This Shipping Policy explains our order processing, dispatch, delivery estimates, and shipping procedures.

1. Order Processing and Dispatch

Orders are generally prepared for dispatch within 48 hours of successful payment confirmation.

The dispatch timeline begins only after the payment has been successfully received and verified.

For bank transfer orders, the transfer must be credited to and verified in our business bank account before the dispatch timeline begins.

A payment screenshot or transfer receipt alone does not establish that payment has been received.

Dispatch timelines may vary due to:

* Payment verification delays. * Product availability. * Public holidays or operational closures. * Courier collection schedules. * Unforeseen circumstances.

Dispatch refers to handing the parcel over to our courier or logistics partner. It does not mean that the order has been delivered.

2. Domestic Shipping — India

We ship orders within India to eligible delivery locations using available courier and logistics partners.

Delivery times depend on the destination, courier service, and local delivery conditions.

Where available, estimated delivery information will be displayed at checkout or communicated through our order updates.

Domestic delivery estimates are not guaranteed deadlines and may be affected by courier disruptions or circumstances beyond our control.

3. International Shipping

Aarambha accepts international orders for eligible destinations where shipping is available.

International orders are generally prepared for dispatch within 48 hours of successful payment confirmation.

Estimated international delivery: Up to 10 days after dispatch under normal operating conditions.

This is an estimated delivery timeframe, not a guaranteed delivery deadline.

Actual delivery times may vary depending on:

* Destination country and location. * Customs inspection and clearance. * International and domestic courier operations. * Local holidays. * Weather conditions. * Remote delivery locations. * Government restrictions. * Other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Additional processing time may be required if payment verification or export documentation is incomplete.

4. Shipping Charges

Applicable shipping charges will be displayed at checkout or communicated before the order is confirmed.

Shipping charges may vary depending on:

* Destination. * Parcel weight and dimensions. * Courier service. * Delivery requirements. * Applicable shipping offers.

Any free-shipping promotion will be subject to its stated terms and conditions.

5. Customs Duties and Import Taxes

International orders may be subject to customs duties, import taxes, clearance charges, or other fees imposed by the destination country.

Unless expressly stated otherwise during checkout or in a written agreement with Aarambha, these charges are the customer’s responsibility.

Customers are responsible for understanding any applicable import requirements before placing an international order.

Customs clearance procedures and assessments are determined by the relevant authorities and are outside Aarambha’s direct control.

6. Payment Confirmation and Shipping

Orders paid through supported online payment gateways will be processed after successful payment confirmation.

Orders paid through bank transfer will be processed only after the transferred funds have been received and verified in our business bank account.

If a transfer is pending, delayed, or received for an incorrect amount, dispatch may be delayed until the issue is resolved.

Customers may be asked to provide a transaction reference to help us identify a bank transfer.

7. Order Tracking

Where tracking is available, tracking information will be shared through the email address, phone number, or other contact details provided at checkout.

Customers should use the tracking information to monitor delivery progress.

Tracking availability and update frequency depend on the courier service.

8. Shipping Address and Delivery Attempts

Customers are responsible for providing accurate and complete shipping information, including:

* Recipient name. * Delivery address. * Postal or ZIP code. * Contact phone number. * Email address where required.

Please review these details carefully before completing your order.

Incorrect or incomplete addresses may cause delivery delays, additional charges, or failed delivery attempts.

Where permitted by law, additional charges arising from an incorrect address or a failed delivery caused by the customer may be the customer’s responsibility.

If a parcel is returned to us, please contact our customer support team to discuss the available resolution.

9. Delays and Delivery Issues

We make reasonable efforts to dispatch orders promptly and work with our courier partners to support timely delivery.

However, delivery delays may occur because of customs inspections, courier disruptions, weather, transport interruptions, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

If your order appears delayed or tracking has not updated for an extended period, please contact us with your order number.

We will make reasonable efforts to investigate the shipment with the relevant courier.

10. Damaged Parcels

If your parcel arrives visibly damaged, please retain the outer packaging and take photographs of:

* The parcel and its packaging. * Any visible damage. * The product and relevant details.

Please contact us promptly with your order number and supporting photographs.

We will review the issue and determine an appropriate resolution in accordance with applicable law.
