Strict No Returns & No Refunds Policy
All sales are final. Due to the bespoke, artisanal, and delicate made-to-order nature of Indian bridal couture, lehengas, sarees, suits, sherwanis, and accessories, HiFi Boutique enforces a strict No Returns, No Refunds, and No Exchanges policy once an order is placed.
1. Why We Do Not Offer Returns or Refunds
Every garment at HiFi Boutique is individually handcrafted, tailored to custom measurements, and undergoes 100+ to 400+ hours of single-frame needlework by master artisans in our Indian ateliers. Because each piece is cut, dyed, and embellished specifically for you:
- Custom Cut & Tailoring: Garments cut to specific dimensions or made upon order cannot be restocked or resold.
- Artisanal Materials: Pure silks, raw silks, handwoven Kanjivaram zari, and delicate dabka work are prone to handling damage if returned.
- Hygiene & Luxury Integrity: To guarantee every bride receives an unworn, untouched heirloom, we never circulate returned garments.
2. Sizing & Fit Assurance Before Dispatch
We take immense pride in achieving a flawless fit. To prevent any sizing discrepancies, our couture concierge team works closely with you prior to cutting the fabric:
Virtual Measurement Sessions
Our master stylists conduct 1-on-1 video consultations to guide you through taking precise bust, waist, hip, and length measurements.
Melbourne Showroom Fittings
Visit our Truganina boutique in Melbourne for private in-person measurements and fabric swatching before production.
Note: All lehengas and blouses are constructed with generous internal seam margins (up to 2–3 inches) to allow easy local adjustments if your weight fluctuates before your event.
3. Handcraft Variations & Natural Imperfections
Authentic handloom weaving, vegetable dyeing, and hand zardozi embroidery will always possess subtle variations in yarn tension, motif spacing, and color depth. These are celebrated hallmarks of genuine human craft and are not considered manufacturing defects or grounds for cancellation, refund, or return.
4. Damaged in Transit Claims
All international and domestic parcels are dispatched in heavy-duty tamper-proof packaging with full transit insurance. In the unlikely event that your package arrives visibly damaged:
- You must notify us promptly upon delivery via WhatsApp or email.
- Provide an uncut unboxing video and clear photographs showing the exterior packaging, courier label, and affected garment areas.
- Our concierge will immediately file an investigation with the insured courier partner and provide repair or resolution assistance.
5. Order Cancellations
We do not accept order cancellations once an order is placed. All sales are strictly final. Because each couture piece enters our fabric allocation and master artisan pipeline upon confirmation, cancellations and refund requests cannot be accepted.
