Return & Refund Policy
Girvi.in (“we”, “us”, “our”) works with partner shops and service workflows for gold, silver, and ornament sales. Because precious metals are priced dynamically and depend on purity/weight, returns and refunds follow specific verification rules.
1) Scope
- This policy applies to eligible products purchased through Girvi.in or via authorized Girvi partner shops (online/offline orders logged on Girvi.in).
- Policy covers: returns, exchanges, cancellations, refunds, and damaged/incorrect items.
- Some items may be marked “Final Sale / Non-Returnable” on the invoice/product page.
2) Return eligibility (gold/silver & ornaments)
A return may be accepted only when all conditions are met:
- Invoice/Order ID: Must match Girvi records.
- Condition: Unused, not damaged, not altered, no missing parts.
- Seals/Packaging: Tamper-proof seals (if any) must be intact.
- Purity & weight verification: Subject to verification at our/partner’s facility.
3) Return window
- Standard window: 7 days from delivery/collection date (recommended).
- Damaged/incorrect item: Report within 24–48 hours of delivery with clear photos/video.
- Partner shops may have a different window; if so, the invoice/shop policy prevails.
4) How to request a return
- Contact support with: Order ID, invoice copy, product photos, reason for return.
- If eligible, we issue a return approval and pickup/drop instructions.
- Pack item securely with invoice; do not remove tags/labels.
5) Verification & acceptance
All precious metal returns are subject to inspection:
- Visual checks: seal, tamper marks, scratches, dents.
- Weight checks: verification against invoice specs.
- Purity checks: hallmark/assay verification where required.
6) Refund method & timeline
- Mode: Refund to original payment method (UPI/Card/Netbanking) or bank transfer as per record.
- Timeline: After acceptance, refunds are typically processed in 5–10 business days (bank timelines vary).
- Cash purchases: May require bank details or store-credit if permitted by partner policy.
7) Deductions / charges (important for gold & silver)
Because metal prices fluctuate and items may involve making/handling costs, refunds may include deductions such as:
- Making charges (for ornaments) if not refundable as per invoice.
- Packaging/handling charges (if applicable).
- Assay/purity check fee (if required due to dispute/verification).
- Shipping / pickup cost if return is not due to our error.
- Price fluctuation adjustment: In some cases, refund is based on prevailing rate at return-acceptance time (declare on invoice if used).
8) Cancellations
- Before dispatch/processing: Usually eligible for full refund.
- After dispatch: Cancellation may not be possible; you may need to follow the return process after delivery.
- Custom/made-to-order items: Often non-cancellable once work has started.
9) Damaged, missing, or incorrect items
- Report within 24–48 hours with unboxing video/photos if possible.
- Do not use the item; keep packaging and invoice.
- We may offer replacement, exchange, or refund depending on verification.
10) Exchanges
- Exchange is subject to item condition, verification, and stock availability.
- For metal price differences, additional amount or partial refund may apply.
- Ornament exchanges may include making charges difference.
11) Non-returnable items
Unless defective/incorrect, the following are typically non-returnable:
- Items with broken seals/tampered packaging (bullion/coins/bars).
- Custom engraved or made-to-order ornaments.
- Items marked “Final Sale / Non-Returnable” on invoice/product page.
- Used, altered, or damaged items (not due to transit issue).
12) Chargebacks / disputes
If you file a chargeback while a return/refund is in progress, we may pause processing until the dispute is resolved. Please contact support first so we can help faster.
