Shipping + Returns
Shipping Information
In stock orders in the 48 Contiguous US ship within 1-5 business days via FedEx.
Each of our items is handcrafted, so if an item is not in stock or a custom design, it can take from 2-4 weeks to produce before it ships.
You can request a rushed order by emailing hello@eastdarjeeling.com. We will coordinate with you directly on shipping needs.
You will receive a shipping confirmation via e-mail once your order has shipped.
RETURN TO SHIPPER POLICY
It is the responsibility of the receiver (or if bought as a gift, the buyer) to notify the shipping carrier (FedEx or UPS) of any changes to the delivery - such as a request to hold the package at a nearby FedEx or UPS location for pick up or request a vacation hold if the receiver is out of town and needs the package delivered at a later date.
If a package is returned to East Darjeeling because the shipping carrier (FedEx or UPS) was unable to deliver the package within a required timeframe and have not been contacted about changes to the delivery by the receiver, the customer will have the option to pay the full (non-promotional) shipping cost to have the order shipped again or cancel the order which is subject to a 35% restocking fee. If the item goes unclaimed for more than three weeks, East Darjeeling will cancel the order without a refund.
