Missing or Lost Packages

We are responsible for your new purchase until it is picked up by the shipping carrier. We will not grant refunds for any packages that are lost in transit, stolen or for packages that are marked as delivered but not received. As a small business and non-profit, we cannot absorb the cost of the shipping carrier's mistake.

If a package is lost in transit, stolen, damaged or marked as delivered but not received, it is your responsibility to file a claim with the carrier seeking reimbursement. Have your tracking number, your order receipt and photos on hand as these will be essential in filing your claim.

We cannot be held responsible for any incorrect addresses entered at checkout. To modify your order, please email info@anchalproject.org within one hour of placing the order.
