DELIVERY AND SHIPPING POLICY

Delivery

Delivery times are estimates and commence from the date of shipping, rather than the date of order. Delivery times are to be used as a guide only and are subject to the acceptance and approval of the order after payment confirmation. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, every effort is made to fulfill the order within 4 to 6 business days from the date of the order. Business day means Monday to Friday, except holidays.

Date of delivery may vary due to carrier shipping practices, delivery location, method of delivery, and the items ordered. Products may also be delivered in separate shipments.

All orders are subject to the availability of the product for which the order has been placed. Generally, the items which are not available are marked as ‘Out Of Stock’ beforehand itself. However due to system/human error if the item is not marked as ‘Out Of Stock’ beforehand and the customer places the order for such item, logistics team will personally call/email the customer to notify the same. In such case, a refund will be initiated if the customer is not willing to wait until the item becomes available; else the item will be delivered to the customer once it is available.

Shipping

Courier Delivery Charges are calculated depending upon the weight of the product(s) in grams and the distance in Kilometers from the source location to destination location. Source location is S.V. Road, Khar (West), Mumbai – 400052

Courier Delivery Charges may differ even if the product(s) selected is the same. This is because the locations which the customer has selected for courier delivery in both cases are different. Even though the weight is constant, the distance in Kilometers will vary and hence Courier Delivery Charges will vary. The Courier Delivery charges may be subject to changes without any prior intimation, hence it is possible that two orders of the same product at different times may have different shipping costs.

Periodic publications have issues getting published on a periodic basis with 1 year as renewal period. At the time of subscription of the publication, the Courier Delivery Charges mentioned includes the cost of all the issues in a year. This means Courier Delivery Charges for an entire year will be collected at the time of subscription only.

Return & Refund Policy

We do not have any return or refund policy. Goods once sold on e-Aanjaneya will not be refunded.

Goods sold are eligible for replacement only upon fulfillment of the below conditions –

  1. The goods delivered are in a physically damaged condition.
  2. The goods delivered are different from what was ordered.
