We will appreciate your patience during these times and we will ensure to get your delivery to you as soon as possible.

Once the order is placed, we ship the order through one of our various courier partners. All these partners are reputed, logistic service providers.

Furthermore, we would also share the estimate delivery dates via SMS and email.

Why did I receive only a part of my order?

The reasons why you would have partially received the order are: We might have shipped your items in two different shipments. The other would still be in transit.
