Return & Exchange Policy — House of Viraj

Return and Exchange Policy

Effective Date: June 2026

At House of Viraj, we take great pride in the quality of our handcrafted ethnic wear. We want every purchase to delight you — and where it doesn't, we are here to make it right. Please read this policy carefully before raising any request.

Mandatory Requirement

Unboxing Video is Required for All Claims

If you have received a defective, damaged, incorrect, or missing item, or wish to raise any quality concern after delivery, you must record a clear, uninterrupted unboxing video at the time of opening your package. This video serves as proof of authentication for your claim.

The video must be a minimum of 30 seconds in duration, recorded in a single continuous take — no cuts, edits, or pauses.
The video must clearly show the sealed package before opening, the unboxing process, and the condition of the item inside.
The video must be genuine and unaltered. Any video suspected to be AI-generated, deepfake, digitally manipulated, or produced post-unboxing will be automatically rejected and the claim will not be processed.
The original price tag must be intact and visible in the video to be eligible for a return or replacement.
Claims submitted without a valid unboxing video will not be entertained under any circumstances — no exceptions.

01  —  Colour & Product Disclaimer

The product specifications (weight, colour, handwork, size, etc.) shown on our website are approximate values. House of Viraj endeavours to present products as accurately as possible; however, minor variations in colour, texture, and finish may occur due to the nature of handloom fabrics, natural dyes, climatic conditions during dyeing, photography lighting, and differences in display settings across devices.

We request all customers to place orders keeping these minor variations in mind. Handicraft and hand-dyed items will always carry subtle individual differences — this is a mark of their authenticity, not a defect. Products with sequin or stone embellishments may experience minor shedding even with careful handling; this is expected and should be considered before purchase.

Please note: Colour variation, minor texture differences, or the raw finish of handcrafted products are not considered defects and are not eligible for return or exchange.

Report All Issues Together: All concerns related to a single order or package must be raised at the same time. Please be specific when describing the issue, as all returned items are thoroughly examined.

Transit Responsibility: Once you have dispatched the return, it is your responsibility to ensure it reaches us safely. We cannot be held liable for items lost or damaged in transit on the return journey.

03  —  Do's & Don'ts — Receiving Your Parcel

Inspect before signing: Always inspect the outer packaging for any signs of damage or tampering before accepting and signing for your delivery.

Record your unboxing: Record a minimum 30-second, uncut unboxing video every time you open a House of Viraj package — this protects your right to raise a claim.

Be present for COD deliveries: For Cash on Delivery orders, please ensure someone is present at the delivery address during working hours (11 AM – 6 PM). We cannot guarantee prior call notification from the courier.

Do not open before payment (COD): For Cash on Delivery packages, you are not authorised to open the package before completing payment to the delivery person.

Do not accept visibly damaged packages: If the package appears tampered with or damaged, refuse delivery and return it to the delivery person immediately. Contact us right away with your Order ID.

Purchased products are generally not refundable. However, a refund may be initiated in the following circumstances: manufacturing defects, delivery of a damaged product, or receipt of a wrong item — provided these are reported within the stipulated window with a valid unboxing video.

Eligible Refunds: Refunds are issued only when House of Viraj is responsible for the cause — i.e., manufacturing defect, incorrect item, or damage caused prior to delivery.

Customer-Side Damage: If damage has occurred at the customer's end after delivery, a refund will not be issued.

03

06  —  Product Availability

House of Viraj brings you the latest and most exclusive handcrafted pieces. Many of our handloom products take 15–20 days to produce, and each piece is limited by nature. While we continually strive to fulfil every order, there are occasions when a product may sell out or go out of stock after your order is placed.

In such cases, we will promptly notify you and encourage you to select an equally exciting alternative. If no alternative is satisfactory, we will refund the full amount — product value plus shipping — with absolutely no deductions.

Exchange of the same design is subject to availability. Customers must select a new product for exchange within 3 days of delivery confirmation. Exchange is permitted only once per order.
