Shipping Policy

UPDATED ON : 4TH SEPTEMBER 2026 | INDIA

1. Introduction

This Shipping & Delivery Policy (“Shipping Policy”) sets out the terms governing the processing, dispatch and delivery of physical products purchased through JYOTISH APOORV (“Jyotish Apoorv”, “we”, “us” or “our”) via www.jyotishapoorv.com (“Website”).

We understand that many products offered by Jyotish Apoorv—particularly gemstones and spiritually significant items—may be purchased with a specific personal or astrological purpose. We therefore endeavour to handle every order with appropriate care from confirmation and preparation through packaging and dispatch.

By purchasing a physical product through the Website, you acknowledge and agree to this Shipping Policy.

This Shipping Policy should be read together with our:

Terms & Conditions
Privacy Policy
Cancellation, Return & Refund Policy

2. Scope & Applicability

This Shipping Policy applies only to physical products requiring delivery to a postal address, including, where offered:

  • gemstones;
  • gemstone jewellery or wearable gemstone products;
  • spiritual products;
  • Puja-related physical products or kits;
  • Yantras, Kawach or similar items;
  • books or printed materials;
  • merchandise; and
  • any other tangible products expressly offered for sale through the Website.

This Policy does not apply to services delivered without physical shipment, including:

  • astrology consultations;
  • online consultations;
  • Puja & Anushthan services;
  • spiritual consultations or solutions;
  • membership access;
  • digital content; or
  • other electronically or personally delivered Services.

3. Order Confirmation

An order will ordinarily be considered confirmed after:

  1. the required order information has been successfully submitted;
  2. applicable payment has been successfully received or authorised; and
  3. an order confirmation has been generated or communicated by Jyotish Apoorv.

Customers are requested to carefully review their:

name, contact number, email address, delivery address, PIN code and order details

before confirming the purchase.

An order number or reference number may be issued for future correspondence.

4. Product Preparation & Processing

4.1 In-Stock Products

Products that are available and do not require special preparation will ordinarily be processed for dispatch within approximately 2 working days following successful order and payment confirmation.

This retains the 48-hour processing framework used in the earlier policy.

4.2 Gemstones & Specially Prepared Products

Certain gemstones or spiritual products may require additional processes before dispatch, including, where applicable:

  • verification;
  • certification;
  • sizing;
  • mounting or setting;
  • customisation;
  • energisation or prescribed spiritual preparation;
  • packaging; or
  • other product-specific preparation.

Such products may therefore require a longer processing period.

Where a product is customised, made-to-order or requires special preparation, the estimated processing period will ordinarily be communicated on the relevant product page, during checkout or separately by our support team.

4.3 Custom & Special Orders

Customised gemstone jewellery, specially sourced gemstones, personalised spiritual products and similar orders may have individual preparation timelines.

The applicable timeline communicated for the particular order shall prevail over standard processing estimates.

5. Working Days

For the purposes of processing and dispatch, “working days” ordinarily exclude:

  • Sundays;
  • national/public holidays;
  • applicable local holidays; and
  • days on which courier or logistics operations are materially unavailable.

Orders placed outside normal processing periods may begin processing on the next applicable working day.

6. Shipping Destinations

Jyotish Apoorv currently endeavours to deliver physical products to serviceable locations across India, subject to courier availability and product-specific restrictions.

Delivery availability may depend upon:

  • PIN code;
  • courier serviceability;
  • product category;
  • applicable transport restrictions;
  • availability of suitable logistics services; and
  • other operational or legal considerations.

Availability of delivery to a particular PIN code does not necessarily guarantee that every product can be delivered to that location.

7. Shipping Partners

Orders may be delivered through established courier, postal and logistics providers selected according to factors such as:

  • destination;
  • serviceability;
  • reliability;
  • product characteristics;
  • shipment value;
  • security requirements; and
  • delivery timeframe.

Jyotish Apoorv reserves the right to select or change the courier partner for a particular shipment.

8. Shipping Charges

Shipping charges, where applicable, may depend upon:

  • delivery location;
  • product weight;
  • package dimensions;
  • shipment value;
  • shipping method;
  • packaging requirements; and
  • rates charged by the applicable logistics provider.

The applicable shipping charge should ordinarily be displayed during checkout or communicated before final confirmation of the order.

Customers should review the total payable amount before completing payment.

9. Free Shipping

Jyotish Apoorv may periodically offer free shipping:

  • above a specified order value;
  • on selected gemstones or products;
  • to selected locations;
  • during promotional campaigns; or
  • under membership or other special programmes.

Any free-shipping offer will be subject to the conditions communicated with the relevant offer.

Jyotish Apoorv reserves the right to introduce, modify or discontinue promotional shipping offers.

10. Estimated Delivery Timelines

After dispatch, standard delivery within India may ordinarily take approximately:

Metro / Major Cities: 3–5 working days
Other Cities: 5–7 working days
Remote / Rural Locations: 7–10 working days

These estimates are based on the framework in the earlier Shipping Policy.

These periods are estimates and not guaranteed delivery commitments.

The actual delivery period may depend upon the courier partner, dispatch location, destination, weather, public holidays, operational conditions and other circumstances.

Importantly, product preparation time is separate from courier delivery time. A customised or specially prepared gemstone may therefore take longer overall than the standard delivery estimate.

11. Dispatch Confirmation & Tracking

Once an order has been dispatched, customers may receive a shipment confirmation containing, where available:

  • order/reference number;
  • courier/logistics provider;
  • tracking/AWB number;
  • tracking facility or link; and
  • estimated delivery information.

Tracking information may take some time after dispatch to become active within the courier provider's system.

The earlier policy similarly provided for shipment confirmation and tracking details following dispatch.

12. Delivery Address

Orders will be dispatched to the delivery address supplied and confirmed by the customer.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that the address provided is:

  • accurate;
  • complete;
  • serviceable;
  • accompanied by the correct PIN code;
  • accompanied by a working contact number; and
  • sufficient for the courier to identify the delivery location.

Jyotish Apoorv shall not be responsible for delays or failed delivery resulting from materially incorrect or incomplete information supplied by the customer.

13. Change of Delivery Address

If you need to change your delivery address after placing an order, please contact us as soon as possible and before dispatch at:

support@jyotishapoorv.com

Please provide your order/reference number and the corrected delivery details.

We will endeavour to accommodate the request where operationally possible.

Once an order has been packed, handed over to a courier or dispatched, an address change may not be possible.

14. Delivery Attempts

The courier provider may make one or more reasonable attempts to deliver the shipment according to its operational practices.

A delivery may fail because of circumstances including:

  • recipient unavailable;
  • incorrect or incomplete address;
  • inaccessible delivery location;
  • incorrect contact information;
  • recipient refusing the shipment; or
  • inability of the courier to contact the recipient.

Customers are advised to monitor tracking information and remain reasonably available for delivery.

15. Return to Origin (RTO)

Where delivery cannot be completed after the courier's applicable attempts, the shipment may be marked Return to Origin (RTO) and returned to Jyotish Apoorv.

If an order is returned because of:

  • incorrect address supplied by the customer;
  • repeated recipient unavailability;
  • refusal to accept the shipment; or
  • other circumstances attributable to the recipient,

additional shipping charges may apply if re-dispatch is requested.

Any cancellation or refund following an RTO shipment will be handled according to the Cancellation, Return & Refund Policy.

16. Undeliverable Locations

In some circumstances, an order may be found to be undeliverable because of:

  • courier serviceability restrictions;
  • remote location;
  • regulatory restrictions;
  • temporary suspension of courier services;
  • product-specific transportation restrictions; or
  • other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Where this becomes known before dispatch, we will endeavour to contact the customer to discuss an alternative arrangement.

Where fulfilment is ultimately not possible, any applicable refund will be handled in accordance with the Cancellation, Return & Refund Policy and applicable law.

17. Packaging and Product Care

Given the nature and potential value of gemstones and spiritual products, Jyotish Apoorv will endeavour to use appropriate protective packaging for physical orders.

Where applicable, a shipment may include:

  • protective gemstone/product packaging;
  • jewellery box or product case;
  • certificate or supporting document, where expressly included with the product;
  • invoice or purchase documentation; and
  • other product-specific material.

The exact packaging may vary according to the product.

18. Inspection at Delivery

Customers are advised to inspect the external courier package at the time of receipt wherever reasonably possible.

If a package appears:

  • materially torn;
  • opened or tampered with;
  • severely crushed;
  • wet or otherwise materially damaged; or
  • inconsistent with normal secure packaging,

the customer should, where practicable, document the condition before opening or accepting the package.

Photographs and an unboxing video may materially assist us in investigating a claim relating to transit damage, missing contents or suspected tampering.

19. Damaged Shipment

If you receive a product that appears to have been damaged during transit, please contact:

support@jyotishapoorv.com

as soon as reasonably possible after delivery.

Please provide:

  • order/reference number;
  • description of the issue;
  • photographs of the external courier packaging;
  • photograph of the shipping label;
  • photographs of the product and internal packaging; and
  • unboxing video, if available.

The earlier policy required damage reports within 48 hours together with photographs of the product and packaging.

For the final Cancellation, Return & Refund Policy, we should establish the exact claim window and evidence requirements, particularly for high-value gemstones.

20. Lost Shipments

If tracking indicates that a shipment has been delivered but you have not received it, please first check with:

  • household members;
  • reception/building management;
  • security personnel; and
  • any person authorised to receive deliveries at the address.

If the shipment remains unlocated, contact us promptly at:

support@jyotishapoorv.com

with your order number and tracking information.

We will endeavour to raise an appropriate enquiry with the courier/logistics provider.

Where a shipment is officially determined to have been lost in transit, the resolution will be handled in accordance with the applicable Cancellation, Return & Refund Policy.

21. Delayed Shipments

Delivery may occasionally be delayed because of circumstances such as:

  • severe weather;
  • natural disasters;
  • public holidays;
  • strikes or civil disruption;
  • courier network congestion;
  • transportation interruption;
  • regional restrictions;
  • government orders;
  • operational disruption;
  • force-majeure circumstances; or
  • other events reasonably outside our control.

Jyotish Apoorv will endeavour to assist with tracking and escalation where reasonably possible but cannot guarantee courier performance once a shipment is in transit.

If an order appears materially delayed beyond the expected delivery period, please contact our support team with your order and tracking details.

22. High-Value Gemstone Shipments

Certain gemstones or jewellery may be of significant value.

For such orders, Jyotish Apoorv may, at its discretion and where operationally available:

  • use specialised packaging;
  • require signature or acknowledgement upon delivery;
  • use additional shipment security;
  • restrict delivery to the registered recipient/address;
  • verify certain order or delivery information before dispatch; or
  • use an appropriate insured or secure shipping method.

Such measures are intended to protect both the customer and the shipment.

23. Customized & Personalized Products

Products that have been:

  • specially sourced;
  • customised;
  • engraved;
  • resized;
  • mounted;
  • made according to customer specifications; or
  • otherwise specially prepared,

may require additional processing time before dispatch.

The customer will be informed of the applicable estimated timeline where reasonably possible.

Eligibility for cancellation, return or refund of customised products is governed exclusively by the Cancellation, Return & Refund Policy and applicable law.

24. International Shipping

Unless international shipping is expressly shown as available for a particular product or destination, customers should not assume that international delivery is available.

Where Jyotish Apoorv offers international shipping, additional conditions may apply concerning:

  • international courier charges;
  • customs clearance;
  • import duties;
  • local taxes;
  • documentation;
  • destination-country regulations;
  • prohibited/restricted goods; and
  • extended delivery periods.

Any customs duties, import taxes or statutory charges imposed by the destination jurisdiction will be handled as disclosed at checkout or in the relevant order terms.

25. Cancellation before Dispatch

Requests to cancel an order should be submitted promptly to:

support@jyotishapoorv.com

Whether an order can be cancelled depends upon its status and the nature of the product.

In particular, cancellation may be restricted once a customised gemstone/product has been sourced, prepared, altered or otherwise processed specifically for the customer.

All eligibility, deductions and refund consequences are governed by the separate Cancellation, Return & Refund Policy.

26. Returns, Replacements & Refunds

This Shipping Policy deals principally with dispatch and delivery.

All matters concerning:

returns, exchanges, replacements, cancellations, damaged-product remedies and refunds

are governed by the separately published:

CANCELLATION, RETURN & REFUND POLICY

Customers are advised to review that Policy before completing a purchase, particularly when purchasing gemstones, jewellery, customised products or spiritually prepared items.

27. Customer Responsibilities

To help ensure successful delivery, customers are requested to:

  • provide accurate contact and address information;
  • review order details before payment;
  • monitor shipment tracking;
  • remain available at the delivery address;
  • respond to reasonable courier communications;
  • inspect shipments promptly upon receipt; and
  • notify Jyotish Apoorv promptly of delivery problems.

28. Limitation regarding Courier Services

Jyotish Apoorv is responsible for reasonably processing, packaging and handing confirmed shipments to the selected logistics provider.

After dispatch, transportation and delivery are also dependent upon the operations of independent courier/logistics providers.

Nothing in this Shipping Policy is intended to exclude or limit any responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable Indian consumer law.

29. Privacy of Shipping Information

Personal information collected for shipping—including name, telephone number, address and order information—may be shared with courier, logistics and fulfilment providers only to the extent reasonably necessary to fulfil and deliver the order.

Handling of personal information is governed by our separate Privacy Policy.

  • delivery services;
  • logistics providers;
  • operational practices;
