Before Dispatch: You can cancel your order free of charge within 4 hours of placement or before our packaging unit marks the package as dispatched. To request cancellation, contact our customer helpline via WhatsApp or phone with your Order ID.
After Dispatch: Once your parcel has been handed over to courier logistics, cancellations cannot be processed in transit. You may accept the delivery and request an exchange or return under our damage policy.
2. Return & Replacement Eligibility

- Damaged in Transit: If the hermetic seal of your 100 Gram pouch is punctured, torn, or damaged upon delivery.
- Incorrect Item Received: If you received a different spice blend from what was ordered (e.g. Chicken Masala instead of Biryani Masala).
- Missing Items: If any item from your confirmed invoice is absent from the delivered parcel.
