Deepa’s Vasthraalayam – Return & Exchange Policy

Last Updated: 20/11/2025

At Deepa’s Vasthraalayam, we take great care to ensure product quality and customer satisfaction. As a startup brand committed to offering unique, made-to-order designs, we kindly ask our customers to carefully read and understand our return and exchange policies before placing an order.

1. Damaged or Defective Products

Although every product undergoes thorough quality checks, damage or defects may sometimes occur during transit due to courier mishandling.

If you receive a damaged, misprinted, or defective item, please follow these steps:

Raise a complaint within 3 days of delivery.

Submit the following for verification:
 • An unboxing video (clearly showing the entire unboxing process, from start to finish).
 • Clear photos of the damaged/defective product.
 • Photos of the outer courier packaging.

❗️ If a request is not submitted within 5 days, the return or replacement will not be processed.

Important:
If the unboxing video is missing or insufficient for damage verification, Deepa’s Vasthraalayam will not be liable for refunds or replacements.

2. Size-Related Issues – Return Policy

A) Printed T-Shirts & Printed Clothing (NO Size Returns or Exchanges)

Please note:
All printed T-shirts and printed clothing are made-to-order, based on the customer’s selected size and design.

❌ For these products, we DO NOT accept:

• Size-related returns
• Size exchanges
• Changes in size after ordering

Why?

Printed and custom-made items are created specifically for your order, making size-based returns or changes impossible once production begins.

✔️ To avoid size issues:

• A detailed size chart is provided for every product.
• A mandatory size-confirmation checkbox is shown at checkout.
• Once the order is placed, the selected size is final and non-editable.

B) Regular Clothing – Size Returns Allowed

For non-printed, ready-made clothing, we DO accept returns for size issues.

This includes:

• Nighties
• Regular T-shirts
• Shirts
• Pants & Trousers
• Women’s Kurtas
• Leggings
• Tops & Dresses

Other non-custom apparel

✔️ Size-related returns are accepted ONLY IF:

Product is unused

Tags are intact

Returned within the allowed return window

Item passes quality check

3. Unboxing Care & Package Damage at Delivery

We request customers to open packages carefully. If damage occurs during unboxing due to scissors or sharp tools, we cannot offer refunds or replacements unless:

A full unboxing video from start to end is provided.

Photos of the courier package and its condition upon delivery are submitted.

If the outer packaging appears damaged at delivery:

Take clear photos when you receive the package.

Record a video while opening the package.

We will verify the submitted media alongside courier delivery logs and images to assess where the damage occurred.
• If the damage is verified to have occurred before delivery, we will approve a replacement.
• Otherwise, the request will be declined.

4. Refunds & Payment Timeline

If a refund is approved:

The amount will be refunded to the original payment method.

The refund will reflect in your account within 4–7 business days after verification and item pickup.

5. Copyright Notice

All designs, artwork, and brand assets on our website and products are copyright protected under Deepa’s Vasthraalayam.
Unauthorized usage, duplication, or distribution of our intellectual property will result in legal action.
