At Gyftskart, we want our customers to have a smooth and reliable gifting experience. We take reasonable care in sourcing, personalising, packing and delivering our products.This Return, Refund & Cancellation Policy explains when an order may be cancelled, returned, replaced or refunded.This Policy should be read together with our:

  • Terms & Conditions
  • Shipping & Delivery Policy
  • Privacy Policy
  • Any product-specific terms or instructions displayed on the relevant product page

Nothing in this Policy is intended to limit any consumer rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

1. General Policy
Because Gyftskart sells a combination of:

  • Ready-to-ship products
  • Personalised products
  • Customised products
  • Made-to-order products
  • Gift hampers
  • Curated gift products
  • Bulk and corporate orders

The return, cancellation and refund eligibility may vary depending on the nature of the product and the stage at which the order is cancelled.Customers are requested to carefully review:

  • Product description
  • Product specifications
  • Personalisation details
  • Size and dimensions
  • Colour and material information
  • Estimated delivery timeline
  • Return eligibility before placing an order.

2. Order Cancellation
You may request cancellation of an order by contacting Gyftskart Customer Support as soon as possible.Whether cancellation can be accepted depends on the status of the order.

Cancellation may generally be possible if:

  • The order has not entered processing;
  • Personalisation has not started;
  • Production has not started;
  • The product has not been packed or dispatched.

Cancellation may not be possible if:

  • The order is already being personalised;
  • Printing or engraving has started;
  • A custom design has been created;
  • Production has started;
  • The order has been packed for dispatch;
  • The product has been handed over to a delivery partner;
  • The product has already been dispatched or delivered.

Gyftskart will make reasonable efforts to accommodate cancellation requests received before processing or production begins.However, submission of a cancellation request does not automatically mean that the cancellation has been accepted.

3. Cancellation of Personalised and Customised Products

Personalised and customised products are generally created specifically for the customer and may not be capable of being resold.Therefore, once any of the following has started:

  • Design processing;
  • Printing;
  • Engraving;
  • Photo processing;
  • Manufacturing;
  • Customisation;
  • Personalised packing the order may not be cancelled.

Examples of personalised products include products customised with:

  • Names
  • Photographs
  • Dates
  • Messages
  • Logos
  • Artwork
  • Custom designs

Customers are responsible for carefully checking all personalisation details before placing the order.Gyftskart shall not be responsible for errors caused by customer-provided:

  • Incorrect spelling;
  • Incorrect names;
  • Incorrect dates;
  • Incorrect messages;
  • Incorrect photographs;
  • Low-quality images;
  • Incorrect design instructions.

Such errors will generally not qualify the product for cancellation, replacement or refund.

4. Cancellation After Dispatch
Once an order has been dispatched or handed over to the delivery partner, cancellation may not be possible.Customers should not refuse delivery merely because they have changed their mind.If an order is returned because:

  • The recipient refuses delivery;
  • The customer provided an incorrect address;
  • The recipient is unavailable;
  • The customer no longer wants the product;

the order will be handled according to the Failed Delivery and Return to Origin provisions of this Policy and the Shipping & Delivery Policy.

5. Returns
Returns are accepted only in accordance with this Policy.Depending on the product category and issue, Gyftskart may offer:

  • Replacement;
  • Exchange, where applicable;
  • Store credit, where offered;
  • Refund;
  • Another appropriate resolution.

A return request does not automatically guarantee approval.Gyftskart may review the circumstances, product condition and supporting evidence before approving a return, replacement or refund.

6. Eligible Reasons for Return or Replacement
You may contact us if you receive a product that is:

A. Damaged on Arrival
The product has been damaged before or during delivery.

B. Defective
The product has a manufacturing or material defect not caused by normal use, mishandling or damage after delivery.

C. Incorrect Product
You received a materially different product from what was ordered.

D. Incorrect Personalisation by Gyftskart
The personalisation on the product is materially different from the information correctly submitted and confirmed by the customer.For example:

  • You correctly submitted “Priya”, but Gyftskart produced “Pooja”;
  • You correctly submitted a specific date, but a different date was printed;
  • The wrong photograph was used despite the customer providing the correct file.

In such cases, Gyftskart may review the claim and, where appropriate, provide a replacement, correction or refund.

7. When Products Are Generally Not Eligible for Return
Unless the product is damaged, defective, incorrect or otherwise eligible under applicable law, returns may generally not be accepted for:

  • Personalised products;
  • Customised products;
  • Made-to-order products;
  • Products containing customer-uploaded photographs;
  • Products with customer-selected names, messages or dates;
  • Specially sourced products;
  • Products damaged after successful delivery due to misuse or mishandling;
  • Products showing normal wear and tear;
  • Products without original components where inspection requires them;
  • Products where the issue relates solely to a change of mind.

The following are also generally not valid reasons for return or refund:

  • “I no longer need the gift.”
  • “The occasion has passed.”
  • “The recipient did not like the gift.”
  • “I ordered the wrong product.”
  • “I entered the wrong personalisation.”
  • “I provided the wrong photograph.”
  • “I changed my mind after dispatch.”
  • Minor colour variation caused by screen or device differences.
  • Minor variations in handmade, customised or natural products.
  • Minor variation in product appearance that does not materially affect the product.

8. Return Request Timeline
If you receive a damaged, defective or incorrect product, please contact Gyftskart as soon as reasonably possible after delivery.For faster investigation, we recommend reporting the issue within: 48 hours.Some product categories may have different return eligibility periods.

9. Evidence Required for Claims
To investigate a damaged, defective or incorrect product claim, Gyftskart may reasonably request:

  • Order number;
  • Photographs of the product;
  • Photographs of the outer packaging;
  • Video showing the issue;
  • An unboxing video, where reasonably required;
  • Details of the problem;
  • Other relevant information necessary to investigate the claim.

We recommend customers record an unboxing video, particularly for:

  • High-value products;
  • Fragile products;
  • Personalised products;
  • Products with multiple components.

However, the absence of an unboxing video will not automatically invalidate every genuine claim. Gyftskart may use other available evidence to assess the issue.

10. Inspection and Approval
Once a claim is received, Gyftskart may:

  • Request additional information;
  • Review photographs or videos;
  • Arrange a return pickup, where applicable;
  • Request the product to be returned for inspection;
  • Consult the manufacturer or supplier;
  • Investigate the delivery process.

A replacement or refund may be approved after the claim has been reasonably verified.Gyftskart reserves the right to reject claims that are reasonably determined to be:

  • Fraudulent;
  • False;
  • Unsupported after reasonable investigation;
  • Caused by misuse;
  • Caused by customer damage after delivery.

11. Condition of Returned Products
Where a return is approved, the product should generally be returned:

  • In the condition in which it was received;
  • With relevant accessories or components;
  • With original packaging where reasonably available;
  • Without further damage caused by the customer.

Customers should not continue using a product that they intend to return due to a claimed defect.Use or alteration of the product after discovering an issue may affect the return or refund decision where it makes inspection or resolution difficult.

12. Replacement Policy
Where a valid claim is approved, Gyftskart may offer a replacement instead of a refund where appropriate.This may be particularly suitable for:

  • Incorrect products;
  • Incorrect personalisation;
  • Damaged products;
  • Manufacturing defects.

The replacement will be subject to product availability and reasonable production timelines.If the same product is unavailable, Gyftskart may offer:

  • A similar product;
  • Store credit, where available;
  • A refund, where appropriate and legally applicable.

13. Refund Policy
If a refund is approved, the refund amount will generally depend on the reason for the refund and the circumstances of the order.

Full Refund
A full refund may be considered where:

  • Gyftskart cancels an order before fulfilment;
  • The ordered product is unavailable and no suitable alternative is accepted;
  • A significant error attributable to Gyftskart cannot reasonably be corrected;
  • A product is returned or otherwise resolved in accordance with applicable law.

Partial Refund
A partial refund may be considered where:

  • Only part of a multi-product order is affected;
  • A mutually agreed resolution is reached;
  • A product issue affects only part of the order.

Deductions
Where permitted by applicable law and applicable to the circumstances, reasonable non-recoverable costs may be deducted in cases involving:

  • Customer-requested cancellation after processing has started;
  • Failed delivery caused by incorrect customer information;
  • Re-delivery requested after a customer or recipient-related failed delivery;
  • Special delivery services already performed.

No deduction will be made where it is not legally permitted.

14. Refund Processing Time
Once a refund has been approved, Gyftskart will initiate the refund through the appropriate payment method or another mutually agreed method, subject to applicable law.The actual time for the amount to appear in your account may depend on:

  • Your bank;
  • Card issuer;
  • UPI provider;
  • Payment gateway;
  • Original payment method.

Recommended website wording:
“Approved refunds will normally be initiated within [5–10] business days after approval or receipt and inspection of the returned product, where applicable. The time taken for the amount to reflect in your account may vary depending on your bank or payment provider.”For Cash on Delivery orders, Gyftskart may request appropriate bank account or UPI details for processing an approved refund.

15. Refund for Cancelled Orders
Where an order cancellation is accepted before dispatch and before significant non-recoverable processing has commenced, an eligible refund will generally be processed.For personalised or customised products, cancellation after production or personalisation has started may not qualify for a refund.Where Gyftskart itself cancels an order due to:

  • Product unavailability;
  • Inventory error;
  • Technical issue;
  • Operational inability to fulfil the order;

an appropriate refund will generally be provided for the affected order amount where payment has already been received.

16. Failed Delivery and Return to Origin
An order may be returned to Gyftskart if delivery fails because of:

  • Incorrect or incomplete address;
  • Incorrect PIN code;
  • Incorrect contact number;
  • Recipient refusal;
  • Recipient unavailability;
  • Inaccessible premises;
  • Failure to provide required entry information;
  • Repeated unsuccessful delivery attempts.

Where the failure is attributable to the customer or recipient:

Re-delivery
Gyftskart may offer re-delivery subject to:

  • Product condition;
  • Product eligibility;
  • Location;
  • Additional delivery charges, where applicable.

Personalised Products
Personalised or customised products returned due to customer or recipient-related delivery failure may generally not be eligible for a refund.

Non-Personalised Products
Where an eligible non-personalised product is returned to Gyftskart, a refund may be considered after deducting reasonable applicable costs, where permitted by law, including:

  • Original shipping charges, where applicable;
  • Return-to-origin charges;
  • Re-delivery or handling costs;
  • Other reasonable non-recoverable costs.

17. Recipient Refusal
If a gift recipient refuses to accept the product, Gyftskart will generally treat this as a customer or recipient-related delivery failure unless the refusal resulted from:

  • A damaged product;
  • An incorrect product;
  • Another verified issue attributable to Gyftskart.

A refusal simply because:

  • The recipient does not like the gift;
  • The recipient no longer wants the gift;
  • The customer has changed their mind;

will generally not qualify the order for a refund.This is especially important for personalised, customised and perishable or specially prepared products.

18. Incorrect Delivery Address
Customers are responsible for entering the correct delivery address.If you identify an error, contact Gyftskart immediately.We will make reasonable efforts to update the address before dispatch.However, once an order has been:

  • Dispatched;
  • Handed to a delivery partner;
  • Assigned for same-day delivery;

address modification may not be possible.Gyftskart shall not be responsible for loss or additional delivery costs arising from incorrect information provided by the customer.

19. Order Marked as Delivered but Not Received
If tracking shows that your order has been delivered but you believe it was not received, please contact us promptly.Gyftskart may investigate using available evidence, including:

  • Delivery partner records;
  • OTP verification;
  • Delivery photographs;
  • Signature records;
  • GPS confirmation;
  • Communication records.

If the investigation confirms an error attributable to Gyftskart or its authorised delivery process, we will determine an appropriate resolution.Where available evidence reasonably confirms successful delivery to the recipient or an authorised person at the correct delivery location, a refund or replacement may not be applicable.

20. Partial Deliveries
Where an order contains multiple products, items may occasionally be shipped or delivered separately.A return, replacement or refund request may apply only to the affected product unless the entire order is materially affected.For example, if an order contains five products and one product is damaged, the resolution may relate to that specific product rather than the entire order.

21. Product Substitution
In rare circumstances, a product, component, colour, accessory or packaging material may become unavailable.Where appropriate, Gyftskart may:

  • Contact the customer for approval;
  • Offer a comparable alternative;
  • Provide an appropriate refund where a suitable alternative is not available.

A product will not be considered incorrect merely because there is a minor variation that does not materially affect its quality, functionality or overall purpose.

22. Gift Packaging and Complimentary Items
Gift wrapping, greeting cards, gift messages or complimentary items may be provided:

  • On selected products;
  • As part of promotional offers;
  • Subject to availability.

The design, colour or style of complimentary packaging may vary.The absence, variation or replacement of a complimentary item will not generally make the primary purchased product eligible for return or refund unless the complimentary item was specifically included as a separately purchased and essential part of the order.

23. Bulk, Corporate and Event Orders
Bulk, corporate, wedding, event and specially sourced orders may be subject to separate written terms.These may include specific provisions relating to:

  • Cancellation;
  • Advance payment;
  • Artwork approval;
  • Samples;
  • Production;
  • Delivery;
  • Acceptance;
  • Returns;
  • Refunds.

Once a bulk order has entered production or procurement, cancellation may result in non-refundable costs.The relevant quotation, purchase order or written agreement may take precedence over this Policy where expressly stated.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law or specifically stated on the product page:

  • Promotional products;
  • Clearance products;
  • Discounted products;

may be subject to specific return or exchange conditions.However, a product will not lose applicable legal protections merely because it was purchased at a discount.

  • False damage claims;
  • False non-delivery claims;
  • Return fraud;
  • Replacement abuse;
  • Manipulated evidence;
