Refund Policy

Refund

Currently we do not provide for refund, in general. Kusuma will consider refunding  the amount to the customer only under following two circumstances and at the sole discretion of Kusuma:

1. If the product is found to be defective, we will accept the return. However, the refund process will be initiated only post inspection and after we get a go ahead from our QA (quality assurance) team. While refunding for the defective product, courier charges cannot be refunded. Items purchased on discounted prices are not eligible for refund. Refunds if any, will only be in INR.

 
2. We will refund under those circumstances where our logistic partner has been unable to deliver the product, even after repeated efforts due to the customer’s unavailability. Although while making the refund, we will deduct from the amount paid all the costs incurred by Kusuma like shipment expenses both to and fro, customs paid and any other charges.

Refunds are processed within 7-21 days of either receiving the QA report or the product itself, in case of non-delivery.

We shall process the refund once we receive the product. The product must be in unused condition, in its original packaging along with its original tags and invoice, failing which refund may not be possible.

Once the refund process has been initiated, the amount will be directly refunded to your account via the same mode through which the transaction was made or through cheque (amount would be refunded through cheque, only in cases where the debit/credit card used by customer while placing the order is not in use).
