Return, Exchange & Cancellation Policy

 

At Earthy Blocks, every piece is handcrafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques, natural dyes, and handloom textiles. We are committed to providing high-quality products and a fair shopping experience for our customers.

 

Handmade Product Characteristics

All Earthy Blocks products are handcrafted. Minor variations in weaving, hand block printing, embroidery, texture, dye absorption, motif placement, thread knots, selvedge irregularities, and colour are natural characteristics of handmade products and are not considered defects.

 

Colours may vary slightly due to screen settings, photography lighting, and natural dye processes.

 

Please carefully review product descriptions, measurements, dispatch timelines, and images before placing your order.

 

Cancellation Policy

Orders may be cancelled within 5 hours of placement if production or processing has not begun.

 

Once production, customization, stitching, embroidery, fall-pico, alteration, packing, or shipping has started, cancellation requests cannot be accepted.

 

Refunds for cancelled prepaid orders will be processed after deducting actual payment gateway charges, if applicable.
