Shipping Fees
We strive to offer affordable shipping options to our customers:
- Free Shipping:
- Pure Vedic Life provides free shipping on all orders exceeding a minimum value threshold. This threshold may vary and will be displayed clearly during the checkout process.
- Standard Shipping Charges:
- For orders below the free shipping threshold, a nominal shipping fee will be added to your order. The shipping charges will depend on the size, weight, and destination of the package. The final shipping cost will be calculated and displayed at checkout before you confirm your order.
- Additional Charges for Remote Locations:
- Some remote or difficult-to-reach locations may incur additional shipping charges. In such cases, you will be notified during checkout, and you will have the option to confirm or cancel your order.
Tracking Your Order
Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email or SMS with a tracking number and a link to the courier service’s tracking page. This tracking number will allow you to monitor the status of your shipment in real-time. If you experience any issues with tracking, feel free to reach out to our customer service team for assistance.
- Tracking Issues: If your tracking information hasn’t been updated for a few days, there may be a delay at the courier’s end. Contact us if your package is significantly delayed, and we will follow up with the courier service on your behalf.
Delivery Issues
1. Failed Delivery Attempts:
If the delivery service makes multiple attempts to deliver your package and fails due to incorrect address details, unavailability of the recipient, or other issues:
- The courier service will typically make three delivery attempts.
- After failed attempts, the package may be returned to us. If this happens, Pure Vedic Life reserves the right to charge for re-shipment. Please ensure that someone is available to receive the delivery or that the address provided is accurate.
2. Address Changes:
If you need to change your delivery address after placing an order, please notify us immediately. Address changes are only possible before the order has been dispatched. Once an order is shipped, we cannot make any changes to the delivery address.
Shipping Delays
While we do our best to ensure that your package reaches you within the estimated delivery timeframe, delays can sometimes occur due to:
- Natural Disasters: Floods, earthquakes, or extreme weather conditions may impact delivery schedules.
- Courier Issues: Problems at the courier’s end, such as operational delays or strikes, may lead to delivery delays.
- Public Holidays: National or local holidays may result in extended delivery times.
- Pandemic-Related Delays: COVID-19 or similar disruptions could affect courier services, leading to delivery delays.
In such cases, Pure Vedic Life is not responsible for the delay but will actively track the status of your shipment and provide updates as necessary.
Damaged, Lost, or Stolen Packages
We take great care in packaging our products to ensure that they reach you in perfect condition. However, in the rare event that your package is damaged, lost, or stolen, we have the following policy in place:
- Damaged Products:
- If you receive a damaged product, please notify our customer service team within 48 hours of receiving the package. Provide photos of the damaged item and the packaging as proof.
- We will investigate the issue and offer a replacement or refund, depending on the circumstances.
- Lost Packages:
- If your package is lost during transit, please contact us with your order number and tracking details. We will work with the courier service to track and resolve the issue. In the event that the package is declared lost, we will offer a replacement or a full refund.

- Unfortunately, Pure Vedic Life cannot take responsibility for stolen packages that are marked as “delivered” by the courier service. We encourage customers to ensure their delivery address is secure and accessible during delivery.
