2 Order Processing & Dispatch Timelines
Because our natural goods are sourced directly from smallholder mountain farmers and processed in small artisanal batches, careful fulfillment is central to maintaining purity:
- Small-Batch Bottling: Raw Himalayan multi-flora honey and cold-pressed oils are packed fresh upon order placement to prevent nutrient loss.
- Standard Dispatch Window: Orders are verified and dispatched within 24 to 48 business hours (Monday through Saturday, excluding public holidays).
- Daily Cut-off Time: Orders received before 1:00 PM IST are queued for dispatch preparation on the same business day.
- Seasonal Harvest Batches: Limited seasonal harvests or custom handwoven items may require an additional 1–2 days of handling. Customers are notified promptly of any lead times.

7 Mountain Weather & Unforeseen Delays
Transporting harvest down from remote Himalayan ridges can occasionally be subject to nature's whims:
- Monsoon & Winter Disruptions: Heavy rains, occasional rockslides, snow accumulation on high passes, or administrative road blocks can temporarily delay logistics vehicles leaving mountain valleys.
- Active Monitoring: In case of any regional delays, our fulfillment team tracks shipments closely and sends proactive alerts via email or SMS with revised delivery windows.
- Festive Season Surges: During national festival peaks (such as Diwali or New Year), national logistics networks encounter higher load, which may occasionally add 24 to 48 hours to transit times.
8 Damaged, Lost, or Undelivered Shipments
We are committed to making sure your mountain harvest reaches you in pristine condition:
- Accurate Delivery Address: Please provide a complete delivery address with landmark and an active mobile number. Courier agents make up to 3 delivery attempts before returning parcels to our origin center.
