At iTokri, we are proud to bring the beauty of Indian craftsmanship to customers all around the world. Our International Orders Policy is designed to provide you with all the information you need to ensure a smooth and seamless shopping experience, no matter where you are located. We are committed to transparency and fairness in all aspects of our business, from pricing to shipping.
This page covers everything you need to know about placing an international order with iTokri, including shipping options, rates, customs, payment methods, and more. Please read this policy carefully to understand your rights and our procedures.
We deliver internationally to most countries around the globe through our trusted logistics partners, including:
• DHL Express
• FedEx
• Aramex
• EMS (India Speedpost)
These partners are selected based on their reliability and efficiency, ensuring that your orders are delivered safely and on time.
During checkout, you can choose your preferred shipping method from the options provided. The available methods will be displayed based on your location, and the shipping rate calculator will automatically show the shipping fee applied to your selection. We strive to offer the best shipping options available, balancing cost and delivery time.
• Order Processing: Once your payment is confirmed, your order will be processed and dispatched from our warehouse within 24-48 hours. You will receive a dispatch confirmation email with tracking details.
• Estimated Delivery Time: Depending on your location and the shipping method selected, delivery typically occurs within 7-14 business days after dispatch. Please note that delivery times may vary due to customs clearance procedures or other factors beyond our control.
At iTokri, we believe in transparency. Our shipping rates are based on the actual charges from courier companies like DHL, FedEx, and Aramex. We do not add any markup to these charges, ensuring that you only pay what is necessary for the shipping of your order.
• Simple and Clear: Shipping rates are calculated based on the weight of your order. The shipping rate calculator at checkout will automatically determine the cost based on the weight and destination of your package.
• No Hidden Fees: Unlike some other platforms that might include shipping costs in the product price or charge inflated rates for “free” shipping, we keep our product prices separate and charge shipping based on actual courier costs. This ensures fairness and transparency in all transactions.
• Quality Over Cost: International Priority Shipping is a premium service that ensures your products arrive quickly and safely. While we understand that shipping rates may seem higher compared to other e-commerce websites, this is because we prioritize quality and reliability over low-cost shipping options that could compromise the safety and speed of delivery.
• No Free Shipping: We do not offer “free” international shipping because we believe in fair pricing. Many websites inflate product prices to cover the cost of “free” shipping. At iTokri, we charge shipping based on the actual value of the order, which we believe is a fair and ethical approach.
If you have any questions or concerns about our shipping rates or options, please feel free to reach out to our customer service team at helloji@itokri.com. We are here to assist you and ensure that you have a positive shopping experience.

While we strive to ensure your satisfaction with every purchase, we understand that there may be instances where you need to return or exchange an item. Due to the nature of international shipping, our return and exchange policy is a bit more restrictive for orders shipped outside of India.
• Before Shipment: If your order has not yet been shipped from our warehouse, you can make as many alterations as needed. Please contact us as soon as possible to request changes or cancellations.
• After Shipment: Once your order has been shipped to an international destination, returns, exchanges, and cancellations are generally not possible. We recommend double-checking your order details before finalizing your purchase.
• Return Shipping Costs: If you still wish to return the parcel after receiving it, you will need to bear the return shipping costs. Once we receive the returned parcel in our warehouse, we will issue a full refund of your order value.
• Faulty or Defective Products: If you receive a faulty or defective product, please reach out to us immediately. We will do our best to resolve the issue to your satisfaction, which may include a replacement or refund, depending on the situation.
• Order Cancellations: Orders can be canceled before they are dispatched from our warehouse. If you need to cancel your order, please contact us as soon as possible. Once the order has been shipped, it cannot be canceled.
• Refund Process: If you cancel an order before shipment, we will process a full refund to your original payment method. The refund will be initiated within [10 business days], though it may take additional time for the refunded amount to reflect in your account, depending on your payment provider.
Once your order has been shipped, you will receive a tracking number via email, allowing you to monitor the status of your shipment in real-time.
