What payment methods do you accept?

UPI, debit cards, credit cards and other digital payment options. Cash on delivery is also available.

Is Cash on Delivery available?

Yes. After you order, we’ll call or WhatsApp you to confirm and share a UPI link for a small advance: ₹300 for orders up to ₹5,000, or ₹2,000 above ₹5,000. The advance is adjusted against your bill, and you pay the balance in cash on delivery. See our Refund Policy for details.

Returns, Replacements & Refunds

Can I return something if I change my mind?

Write to us within 5 days of delivery. If your return is approved, we issue store credit, less a ₹300 return fee. Glassware, ceramics and other fragile pieces, sale items, and items bought with a discount code (other than our first-order welcome offer) can't be returned for a change of mind.

A piece arrived damaged. How do I request a replacement?

Write to care@cahlenstudio.com, ideally within 24 hours of delivery. Include your order number, photos of the piece and its packaging, and an unboxing video if you have one. We'll replace, repair or refund it at no cost to you.

How long do refunds take?

Where a refund is due, we start it within 7 business days of approval, or of the returned piece reaching us. It usually takes another 5–7 business days to reach your account, depending on your bank.

Can sale items be returned?

Marked-down items can't be returned for a change of mind.
