Policy at a glance

  • Exchange window — within 4 days from the date of delivery.
  • Damaged, defective or wrong item — report within 48 hours of delivery with an unboxing video.
  • Order cancellation — available any time before your order is shipped.
  • Replacement — free on every verified damaged, defective or incorrect item.
  • Exchange shipping — borne by you for preference-based exchanges, and by us when the fault is ours.
  • Support response — within 24–48 business hours.

Exchange eligibility

  • The request is raised within 4 days from the date of delivery.
  • The piece is unused, unworn and in its original condition.
  • The original packaging, box, pouch, tags, invoice and all accessories come back with it.
  • There are no signs of wear, scratches, resizing, polishing or any other alteration.

How to request an exchange

  • Email support@vaah.in within 4 days of delivery.
  • Share your order number, clear photos of the piece, and the reason for the exchange.
  • We'll confirm eligibility and send you the exchange address along with the next steps.
  • Pack the piece securely in its original packaging and ship it to the address we share.
  • Once it reaches us and passes inspection, your replacement is dispatched within 2–3 business days.

Exchange shipping charges

  • For exchanges due to size, design or personal preference, return shipping is borne by you.
  • Shipping charges paid on the original order are non-refundable.
  • If the exchange is needed because of an error on our side — a damaged, defective or incorrect piece — we bear the complete shipping cost.

If your replacement is unavailable

  • Should the piece you want be out of stock, you may choose an alternative of equal value, store credit, or a full refund of the product value.

Returns for a refund

  • Jewellery is personal and hygiene-sensitive, so that every customer receives a fresh, untouched piece we don't accept returns for a refund once an order has been delivered.
  • What we offer instead is an exchange within 4 days of delivery, and a free replacement for anything damaged, defective or incorrect.
  • Do look through the images, description, size and specifications before ordering — and if you'd like help choosing, message us before you buy and we'll happily guide you.

Damaged, defective or incorrect pieces

  • Every order is inspected before dispatch. In the rare case something isn't right, tell us within 48 hours of delivery and we'll make it right.
  • Send your order number, a complete unedited unboxing video, clear photos of the piece and of the outer packaging including the shipping label, and a short description of the issue.
  • Every claim is acknowledged within 24–48 business hours.
  • After verification we arrange a free replacement of the same piece at no extra cost to you; if it's out of stock, choose an alternative of equal value or a full refund.
  • All shipping costs on approved claims are borne by VAAH.

The unboxing video

  • Start recording before you open the outer packaging, with the shipping label clearly visible at the start.
  • Record continuously until the piece is fully unpacked — the video must be complete and unedited.
  • Claims for damaged, missing or incorrect items can't be processed without a valid unboxing video.
  • A slight variation in shade, finish or tone against the product photos is normal for handcrafted and plated jewellery — it comes down to lighting and screens, and isn't treated as a defect.

Cancelling an order

  • Before dispatch you can cancel free of cost — open the order in your account and tap Cancel order, or email support@vaah.in with your order number.
  • Tell us why in a line; our team confirms cancellations within a working day, and you'll get an email either way. You can withdraw the request until we answer it.
  • Once a parcel is packed, billed and handed to our courier partner it's already in transit, and can no longer be cancelled or recalled.
  • We may cancel an order ourselves for stock unavailability, a pricing or listing error, an unserviceable address, or unsuccessful COD verification — you'll be told immediately and refunded in full.
  • Prepaid orders cancelled before dispatch are refunded in full, including shipping charges. Cash on Delivery orders are never charged, so there's nothing to refund.
  • Repeatedly refusing COD deliveries, or giving incorrect contact details, may mean Cash on Delivery is restricted on future orders.

Refunds

  • Refunds are issued when your order is cancelled before dispatch, when we cancel it for any reason, or when a verified damaged, defective or incorrect piece can't be replaced.
  • Approved refunds are initiated within 2–3 business days of approval, and you'll see the amount and its progress on your order page.
  • Prepaid orders are refunded to the original payment method and usually reflect within 5–7 business days, depending on your bank or card issuer.
  • COD orders are refunded by UPI or bank transfer to the details you share with us.
  • Refunds don't apply to delivered orders where the piece is intact and as described.

Not eligible for exchange or replacement

  • Requests raised after 4 days of delivery, or damage, defect and wrong-item claims raised after 48 hours.
  • Pieces that have been used, worn or altered in any way.
  • Damage caused after delivery by handling, moisture, perfume, sanitiser, chemicals or improper storage.
  • Anything sent back without its original packaging, box, pouch, tags or accessories.
  • Damage or wrong-item claims submitted without a complete unboxing video.
  • Customised, personalised, made-to-order and engraved pieces.
  • Free gifts, combo add-ons and promotional items.

Jewellery care

  • Store your piece in the pouch provided, away from water, perfume, sanitiser, deodorant and household chemicals.
  • Put your jewellery on last, after cosmetics, and wipe it with a soft dry cloth after wear.
  • Natural tarnishing or fading of plating over regular use is a characteristic of imitation and plated jewellery, and isn't covered under replacement.

Updates to this policy

  • We may revise this policy from time to time. Any revision is published on this page with a new last-updated date, and applies to orders placed after that date.
