All orders include a GST-compliant invoice. Once your order ships, you will receive a tracking link via SMS and/or email so you can follow your parcel every step of the way.
Delivery Timeframes
| Location | Estimated delivery |

Delivery times are counted in business days (Monday–Saturday, excluding public holidays). Orders placed before 2 PM IST on a business day are typically dispatched the same day; orders placed after 2 PM or on Sundays and public holidays are dispatched the next business day.
Once your order is dispatched, you will receive a tracking number. You can use this number on the courier partner's website or app to check real-time delivery status. If your tracking shows no update for more than 3 consecutive business days after dispatch, please contact our support team and we will investigate immediately.
During sale events: Dispatch times may extend by 1–2 business days due to higher order volumes. We appreciate your patience and always aim to ship as quickly as possible.
Cash on Delivery (COD)
Cash on Delivery is available across all serviceable pin codes in India. With COD, you pay in cash (or via a QR code/UPI to the delivery executive) when your order arrives at your door — no prepayment required.
- COD is available on orders up to ₹5,000.
- A ₹40 COD handling fee applies to all Cash on Delivery orders.
- Please keep exact change ready at the time of delivery to ensure a smooth handover.
- For COD orders, please ensure someone is available at the delivery address to receive the parcel. If delivery is missed twice, the order may be returned.
- If you wish to switch from COD to prepaid payment, contact us within 1 hour of placing your order.

- Item must be unused, unworn, and unwashed.
- All original tags must be intact and attached.
- Item must be in its original packaging (bag or box).

- 4Our team will review your request and confirm within 24–48 hours.

- 6Our courier partner will arrange a pickup from your address (typically within 2–3 business days of approval).
- 7Once we receive and inspect the item, your refund or exchange will be processed.

Exchange Policy
Want a different size or colour? We're happy to help with an exchange, subject to stock availability. Exchanges follow the same 7-day window and eligibility conditions as returns.
How exchanges work
- 1Initiate a return request via My Orders and select "Exchange" as the reason.
- 2Specify the size or colour you would like instead.
- 3Our team will confirm availability of your requested variant.
- 4If available, the exchange is approved and a reverse pickup is scheduled.
- 5Once we receive your original item, the replacement is dispatched within 1–2 business days.
- 6If the requested variant is out of stock, we will offer a refund instead.
Exchanges are a one-time option per item. If after exchange you still wish to return the item, a standard refund will be issued (not a second exchange).
Refund Policy
Once we receive and inspect your returned item, your refund is processed within 5–7 business days. Refunds are issued to the original payment method used at the time of purchase.
| Payment method | Refund timeline | Refunded to |
|---|---|---|
| UPI / Net Banking | 5–7 business days after approval | Original bank account |
| Credit / Debit Card | 7–10 business days after approval | Original card |
| Cash on Delivery (COD) | 7–10 business days after approval | Bank account (you provide account details) |
| Wallet / Gift Card | 3–5 business days after approval | Wallet / store credit |
The refund timeline above starts from the date we approve and process the refund at our end. Once released, your bank or payment provider may take additional time to credit the amount to your account — this is outside Kalokea's control.
You will receive an email confirmation once your refund has been initiated. If you haven't received your refund within the stated timeline, please check with your bank first, then contact our support team with your order ID and we will follow up.
Shipping fee refunds: Original shipping charges (if any) are non-refundable unless the return is due to a defective or incorrect item sent by Kalokea.
