Frequently Asked Questions: Shipping within India
What does the Days to Dispatch mean? (How soon will my order be shipped?)
The Days of Dispatch is the number of days we take to ready your package and hand over to the courier company. The day for dispatch is clearly mentioned on each product page. This will typically vary based on what product you purchased, whether you want it to be studded in Jewellery piece, or you want an additional lab certificate along with it. For example, a loose gemstone typically gets shipped in 1-2 days. However, a gemstone requested to be studded in a ring, will typically take 4-5 days. Similarly, a gemstone requested with an additional lab certificate will take even longer.
How long does it take to deliver my order?
Our courier partners typically deliver orders to Metro cities in India within Next Day to 3 Days. For non-metros, our courier partners typically take 2 days – 7 days to deliver the product from the date of dispatch. The date of dispatch is dependent on the product that you purchase (loose gemstone, or mounted in jewelry) and this date is stated on the product page.
