- You received the wrong product.
- The product is missing parts or accessories.
- The product received is significantly different from the product description.
Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery.
2. Unboxing Video
For damaged, defective, incorrect, or missing-item claims, we strongly recommend recording a continuous unboxing video when opening your package. This helps us verify the condition of the product and process your request faster.
3. Conditions for Return

- All original accessories, packaging, and included items should be returned.
- The product should not show damage caused by misuse, accidents, or improper handling.

5. Refunds
Once your returned product is received and inspected, we will notify you about the approval or rejection of your refund.
If approved, the refund will be processed to the original payment method, where applicable.
For Cash on Delivery (COD) orders, we may request valid bank/UPI details to process an approved refund.
6. Replacement
If the item is defective, damaged, or incorrect, we may offer a replacement instead of a refund, subject to product availability.
