Payment FAQs

Customers can pay using their credit and debit card, and, in the case of Indian customers alone, using UPI. We offer these options via Stripe and Razorpay.

By and large, we provide the same payment options for customers within and outside India. While the base prices are marked in Indian rupees, in some select countries, you might see the equivalent in your country’s currency. Nonetheless, our payment options are equipped to handle foreign transactions securely.

Shipping FAQs

Yes, we ship to all countries where Indiapost can deliver.

We could offer free shipping like many other ecommerce platforms but that would mean having to shut down this business. Shipping (and packaging material) is expensive and we charge customers what is charged to us. We also offer multiple options for shipping and allow our customers to choose what suits them best.

As part of the description of each book or map or other item, the time taken to ship that item is mentioned. We will ship the item within that period. Further, the time taken for the item to reach you after it has been shipped will depend on the transit courier itself. Whenever possible, we will provide you with a tracking number so you can monitor the package. For more details, read Delivery and Availability
