Send Rakhi Online - FAQs

What does Send Rakhi Online offer?

Send Rakhi Online sends Rakhis, Rakhi gifts, Rakhi Pooja thalis and gift hampers to your loved ones in India and in 180+ countries. You choose products on the website and pay online, and we deliver to the address you give. Estimated delivery times are on our Shipping Policy page.

Can I place an order by phone?

Yes. Call us on +91-86905 96993 and we'll place the order for you. All orders are prepaid, so you pay online to confirm the order.

Are my card and bank details safe?

Yes. You pay on the secure pages of our payment gateway or PayPal, over an encrypted (SSL) connection. Your card and bank details are entered there, not on our website, and we don't store them.

Will I receive the product shown on the website?

Yes. The product you receive matches its description on the website. Rakhis and Pooja thalis are handmade, so colours and small details may differ slightly from the photo. If a product you ordered becomes unavailable, we contact you before sending an alternative. If you don't agree to the alternative, we refund that product in full.

Where do your Rakhis and gifts come from?

Our Rakhis and gifts come from artisans and makers across India. All our Pooja thalis and some of our Rakhi designs are made in-house. Sweets, chocolates and dry fruits are branded, packed products.

How long does delivery take?

We dispatch within 1–2 working days (Monday to Saturday, excluding public holidays). Estimated delivery, including dispatch, is about 5 days within India, about 6 days to the USA, the UAE and a few other countries, and about 7 days to the UK, Canada, Australia and most other countries. These are estimates: customs and courier delays can add time, so please order early for Raksha Bandhan. See our Shipping Policy.

How do I know my order has been shipped?

Check your order status in My Account, under your order history. The status changes to "Order Shipped" once your parcel has been handed to the courier.

Can I send a message with my Rakhi?

Yes. At checkout, type a short message in the delivery message box, and we include it in the parcel.

What do the order statuses mean?

Your order moves through these statuses:

  1. Attempted: you added products to your cart but didn't go on to pay.
  2. Unpaid: you tried to pay, but the payment didn't go through.
  3. Order Successful: your order is placed, and the payment is being verified.
  4. Order Confirmed: our accounts team has verified your payment with the payment gateway, and your order is confirmed.
  5. Under Shipping Process: your order is being packed and will be handed to the courier shortly.
  6. Order Shipped: your parcel has been handed to the courier.
  7. Order Delivered: the courier has confirmed delivery.
  8. Order Cancelled: the payment gateway didn't approve the payment, or the order was cancelled.
  9. Payment Refund Pending: your order was cancelled, and your refund is being processed.
  10. Payment Refunded: your refund has been made.

Do you deliver outside India?

Yes, to 180+ countries. Choose the destination country in the shipping address at checkout. Shipping within India is free; shipping to other countries is charged by parcel weight and destination and shown at checkout before you pay.

Why does my card statement show a different amount?

Our prices are set in Indian rupees (INR). If you pay in another currency, your bank or PayPal converts the amount, so the figure on your statement can differ slightly from the amount shown on our website.

Can I cancel my order?

Yes, before dispatch: cancel from My Account or email us, and we refund the amount you paid minus 10% for transaction charges. After dispatch, an order can't be cancelled, but you can return items under our Return Policy. If we cancel your order, for example because an item is out of stock, we refund 100%. See our Refund and Cancellation Policy.

My payment was taken but my order wasn't confirmed. What should I do?

Email us at care@sendrakhizonline.com with your order details, or raise a support ticket from My Account. We check the payment and either confirm your order or refund the full amount taken.

My parcel hasn't arrived. How do I complain?

If your parcel hasn't arrived within 10 days after its estimated delivery date, email us at care@sendrakhizonline.com or raise a support ticket from My Account. If you're not satisfied with our answer to any complaint, you can contact our Grievance Officer, whose details are on our Contact us page. We acknowledge complaints within 48 hours and resolve them within one month.

What should I do if my Rakhi or gift arrives damaged or defective?

Email photos of the parcel and the item to care@sendrakhizonline.com within 7 days of delivery, with your order number. We reship the item free, and you don't need to send anything back. If a replacement isn't possible, or you would rather have your money back, we give you a full refund for the affected items. See our Return Policy.
