At Khalsastore.com, we strive to make sure you have the best experience while selecting and buying your favorite products. Despite our best efforts to keep our customers happy, there are times when you might feel the need to return your product for circumstances beyond your or our control.
We have listed everything below about our Cancellation and Refunds policy so that in case you do decide to cancel your order, or seek refunds, you do not face an iota of a problem.
PRE-SHIPMENT CANCELLATIONS
Q : Can I cancel my order in case I change my mind after ordering?
A : Yes, you can choose to cancel all Non-Ready to Ship products, only if done within 24 hours of placing it. We will initiate 100% refund of your money and a confirmation of the same will be sent to you via e-mail, though we would have loved to have added a Khalsastore.com’s products to your wardrobe/sweet home. Please be apprised that Ready to Ship orders are not eligible for cancellations as they are normally despatched within 24 hours of the receipt of order.
Q : Why a "24 Hour" deadline?
A : As soon as your order is confirmed, action is initiated at our end. The process of picking, packaging,customizing and logistics start, and the ordered product in most cases has already passed through a couple of phases. In case a garment has to be readied, or customized, the process is already underway.
Q : And what if I cancel after 24 hours of ordering?
A : Well, we have a provision for that too but do remember - orders cancelled post 24 hours of confirmation are dealt with on a case-to-case basis by our Customer Care team depending on the degree of process completion. 2) We provide the refund for all such orders in the form of a Gift Card only. This card is redeemable on our Website within a stipulated period from time of issuance. 3) Please be apprised that it takes a maximum of 2 business days, post the receipt of your cancellation request, for us to cancel your order, and send you a notification via e-mail.
Q : Could there be a delay because of "unforeseen circumstances"?
A : We try our best to assure that your ordered products are shipped out to you in the promised time, but at times there are chances of delay in processing due to unavailibility of stock, or other unavoidable circumstances. In such a situation, we will send you a formal communication requesting you to :
(a) Accept a Gift Card of equivalent value which you may use to purchase an alternate Product.
(b) Opt to receive a refund of your money.
Q : Oops! I "missed" adding a critical detail while placing the order. Possibility of correcting it?
A : No worries. Such situations are often encountered when customers forget to :
(1) Update their complete shipping details;
(2) Update measurement attributes; or
(3) Verify or give their consent if required on certain pending notifications within the requested time As a policy, we try and reach out to our esteemed customers via their registered e-mail address. Incase of non-receipt of any response, we try and give them a call. If we do not get a response in 15 days, we issue a Non-refundable Gift Card against cancellation of the order which the customers can use to place future orders with us. We share an update on the same via email as well. Remember, we try and keep our customers posted at each and every stage of their order with us and it really helps to have your inputs at the right time.

Q : Are there any reasons there could be a delay at the Bank/Credit Card companies end?
A : (1) For transactions made using Debit/Credit cards, the time taken for refunds depends solely on the service provider.
(2) For customers transacting via Nationalized Banks, please expect a bit of delay in processing since they tend to have longer lead times.
(3) Please be apprised that Banks send an SMS to customers for credit amount of more than INR 5000 only. In case your refund is less than INR 5000 kindly check your bank or credit card account confirmation receipt of funds.
(4) In case you used a Coupon Code or a Gift Card to place your order, the refund will be made in the same form. No cash refunds can be made in such a case as per governing laws.
Q : What about charges levied by Banks, Credit Cards companies and Local Taxes?
A : Credit Card Fees: Please note that Credit Card refunds involve an admin/credit card commission of 10% of the final order value (5% while accepting and 5% while refunding). This cost will be deducted from the value of the refund.
An alternate solution is an Khalsastore.com’s Card, which nullifies the Credit Card Commission charge and therefore makes it possible for us to issue a Gift Card equivalent to the final accepted value of creditable funds.
Bank Transfers:
For orders placed using Bank Transfers, refunds would be issued only as Gift Cards.

Cross Border or, International Transaction Fees, if any charged by the respective bank from your credit or debit card will not be refunded. Please note these are hidden charges levied by your bank on you, and not by us. Customers must contact their bank for additional information on these charges.
Local Taxes :
The VAT / Custom Duty / Local Taxes / Import Duties are borne directly by the customer as per local laws, to be paid at the time of delivery as advised by the respective courier partner. We will not refund any such charges, if applicable during order delivery.
