SHIPPING POLICY
loomed.in — Odisha Handwoven
Last updated: June 2026

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW OUR SHIPPING WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

At loomed.in, every order ships directly from the weaving household in Odisha — not from a warehouse, not from a middleman.

This means your piece travels from the hands that made it to your door. It also means dispatch timelines are tied to the weaver's packing schedule, not a fulfilment centre.

We believe this is the right way to do it.


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DISPATCH TIMELINE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Standard pieces (in stock):
  Dispatched within 2–3 working days from date of order confirmation.

Made-to-order pieces:
  Dispatched within 7–10 working days.
  You will be notified by email when your piece enters the weaving stage and again when it is dispatched.

Custom commission pieces:
  Timeline discussed and confirmed individually before order is placed.
  Typically 3–6 weeks from confirmation of brief and advance payment.

Working days: Monday to Saturday.
Orders placed on Sunday are processed from Monday morning.


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DELIVERY TIMELINE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Within India:
  5–7 working days from dispatch date.

Metro cities (Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune):
  3–5 working days from dispatch date.

Remote or rural pin codes:
  7–10 working days from dispatch date.
  We will inform you at the time of dispatch if your pin code falls in this category.

Please note: delivery timelines are estimates provided by our courier partners. 
Occasional delays due to weather, public holidays, or logistics disruptions are outside our control. We will always keep you informed.


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SHIPPING CHARGES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Orders above ₹1,000:    Free shipping
Orders below ₹1,000:    ₹99 flat shipping fee

Shipping charge is calculated and displayed at checkout before payment is made.

Free shipping applies to standard delivery within India only. Express and priority shipping charges apply separately.


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
EXPRESS SHIPPING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Express delivery (2–3 working days):
  Available for select pin codes.
  Additional charge: ₹199

To check if express shipping is available for your pin code, enter your address at checkout — available options will appear automatically.

Please note: express shipping applies to the delivery timeline only, not the dispatch timeline. Dispatch still takes 2–3 working days from order confirmation.


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PACKAGING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Every loomed.in order is packed by the weaver's household in:

· Recycled kraft paper wrap
· Natural twine tie
· Fabric care instruction card (inside)

For gifting orders: mention "Gift packaging" in the order notes at checkout. We add a handwritten note card at no extra charge.


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

· Your courier partner name
· Tracking number
· Tracking link

You can also track your order anytime at:
