Shipping & Delivery
Good things take the time they take. And we would rather tell you that honestly than promise you a date we cannot keep.
By placing an order on www.poonghuzhalii.com, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Shipping & Delivery Policy below.
Poonghuzhalii primarily works on a made-to-order model. That means most of what you see here is not sitting ready on a shelf, waiting to be packed. It is brought together after you place your order.
And because of the way we make our garments, that takes time.
Our Production Timeline
One garment. Many fabrics. Many places. One finished piece. If you look closely at a Poonghuzhalii garment, you will notice that many of our pieces bring together multiple fabrics, textures and weaves.
Ajrakh. Handloom. Kalamkari. Modal. And other carefully chosen materials.
These make up the majority of the fabrics we work with. And a garment rarely comes from just one place.
A single piece may require materials from four different vendors. Each material has its own availability and its own timeline.
So if three fabrics have arrived and the fourth hasn’t, the garment waits. We don’t simply replace that fabric with something convenient to make the order move faster.
We wait for the fabric that belongs to that piece. That is an important part of why our garments take time.
And you don’t have to take our word for it Look closely at our pieces.
You will see the different fabrics, textures and weaves coming together in ways that are intentional. The combination is part of the garment.
And sometimes, bringing everything together takes time.
Order Processing & Dispatch Timeline
MADE-TO-ORDER PIECES
Our standard production timeline is:
25–50 BUSINESS DAYS
This is an estimated production timeline, not a guaranteed delivery date.
Once your garment has completed production, it will be dispatched to you.
Please remember:
- Sundays and public holidays are not considered working days.
- Production timelines are approximate and not guaranteed.
- Since the materials required for a garment may come from different vendors and have different availability timelines, some orders may occasionally require additional time.
25–50 business days refers to production. It does not include the courier delivery period after dispatch.
⸻
READY-TO-SHIP PIECES
Some pieces are already available with us and are marked Ready to Ship.
These pieces do not follow the made-to-order production timeline.
They are generally dispatched within: 5–7 WORKING DAYS
Once your order has been dispatched, the shipment details will be shared with you through email or WhatsApp.
Shipping
DOMESTIC SHIPPING — INDIA
We ship across India for a flat shipping charge of: ₹100
Orders are shipped through our trusted courier partners. Once your order has been dispatched, delivery timelines depend on your location and the courier network.
Please remember that your production timeline and courier delivery timeline are two different things.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
Made here. Sent everywhere. We ship worldwide.
International shipping charges are calculated at checkout based on:
- Destination country

The applicable shipping charge will be automatically calculated during checkout before payment.
Once dispatched, international delivery timelines depend on the destination country and courier network.
Duties & Taxes
ORDERS WITHIN INDIA
All prices displayed on our website are inclusive of applicable taxes.
INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
International shipments may be subject to customs duties, import taxes, VAT or other local charges imposed by the destination country’s customs authorities.
These charges:
- Are determined solely by the destination country’s regulations.
- Are the responsibility of the customer, where applicable.
- Must be paid directly by the customer to the relevant authorities or courier at the time of delivery.
Poonghuzhalii has no control over these charges and is not responsible for collecting, reimbursing or waiving them.
Delivery Attempts
Our courier partners generally make multiple delivery attempts.
If delivery is unsuccessful because of:
- Customer unavailability
- Incorrect or incomplete shipping address
- Refusal to accept the parcel
- Failure to respond to courier communication
the shipment may be returned to us.
If the parcel needs to be dispatched again after being returned, any additional shipping charges will be borne by the customer.
Please make sure that your shipping details and contact information are accurate when placing your order.

When Your Order Needs More Time
Sometimes, 50 business days may not be the end of the story. We always work towards completing orders within our estimated production timeline.
However, because many of our garments bring together multiple fabrics sourced from different vendors, the availability of one material can affect the entire garment.
A particular piece may be waiting for one specific fabric while everything else is already ready.
In that situation, we wait.
We don’t substitute the material simply to make the order move faster.
And sometimes, this means an order may require additional production time beyond the estimated 25–50 business days.
If that happens, we will tell you.
Our team will contact you through email or WhatsApp with an updated estimated dispatch date.
We would rather give you an honest update than give you a convenient promise.
By placing an order with Poonghuzhalii, you acknowledge that:
- Production and dispatch timelines are estimates and are not guaranteed delivery dates.
- Made-to-order garments may occasionally require additional production time.
- A delay arising from the availability and coordination of materials does not mean that your order has been forgotten or abandoned.
- Such delays do not qualify for cancellation, refund, compensation or chargeback solely on the basis of the delay, provided that your order continues to be processed and fulfilled.
Our commitment is not to make your garment as quickly as possible.
Our commitment is to make it properly.
Customer Responsibility
By placing an order on www.poonghuzhalii.com, you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted:
- The made-to-order nature of most Poonghuzhalii pieces.
- The estimated 25–50 business day production timeline.
- That certain garments may require additional production time.
- That multiple fabrics and materials may be sourced from different vendors for a single garment.
- That production timelines are estimates and not guaranteed delivery dates.
- The applicable shipping charges.
- The responsibility for payment of customs duties and taxes on international orders, where applicable.
- The Shipping & Delivery Policy in its entirety.

Before You Place Your Order
Please don’t order from us if you need it urgently.
If you have a wedding next week, a trip next month, or a date by which your garment absolutely needs to arrive, please speak to us before placing your order.
We will tell you honestly whether we believe your timeline is possible.
We would much rather say “we cannot promise that” than tell you what you want to hear and disappoint you later.
Our timelines are placed openly because we believe you deserve to know before you buy, not after.
A Little More Than Shipping Policy
We don’t make one thing at a time. We bring many things together to make one.
One garment can begin with fabrics from different places, different vendors and different timelines.
Sometimes everything falls into place quickly. Sometimes one little piece takes longer to arrive. And when it does, the whole garment waits.
That is not an accident in our process. That is our process.
We know that 25–50 business days is not for everyone. And that’s okay. We would rather be completely transparent about how we work than make promises simply because they sound better.
So if you choose to wait for a Poonghuzhalii piece, thank you.
Thank you for giving the fabrics time to find their way to us. Thank you for giving us the time to bring them together.
And thank you for understanding that sometimes, **the most honest answer is simply: it takes time.**
