Return & Refund Policy for Phostara
Last updated: May 25, 2026
1. What This Policy Covers
At Phostara, every lamp is designed by me and 3D printed by hand. Because each lamp is made specifically for your order, I ask you to read this policy carefully before making a purchase.
This policy applies to all products sold on phostara.in.
2. Damaged or Defective Products (What I Cover)
If your lamp arrives damaged, broken, or has a printing defect:
-
You must contact me within 3 days of receiving your order.
-
Provide clear photos or a short video showing the issue.
-
I will evaluate the problem and, if confirmed, send you a free replacement lamp.
-
No return shipping cost for you.
If the lamp stops working properly within 30 days of delivery due to a manufacturing defect, the same replacement policy applies.
3. Change of Mind (What I Do Not Cover)
Because each lamp is 3D printed uniquely for your order and cannot be resold to another customer:
-
I do not accept returns for change of mind.
-
I do not accept returns for "I don't like the design" or "it doesn't match my room."
Please review product photos and descriptions carefully before ordering.
4. What Is Not Covered
I cannot offer a replacement or refund for:
| Issue | Why |
|---|---|
| Minor cosmetic imperfections (layer lines, small surface marks typical of 3D printing) | These are natural to the 3D printing process and not considered defects. |
| Damage caused by dropping, mishandling, or misuse after delivery | The lamp is yours once delivered. |
| Issues reported after the 3-day notification window | I need to be notified quickly to verify the problem. |
5. Refund Process
If a refund is approved (for damaged or defective products only):
-
Refund will be issued to your original payment method.
-
Processing time: 5–7 business days after approval.
-
Original shipping charges are non-refundable.
6. Order Cancellations
| Stage | Action |
|---|---|
| Within 12 hours of placing order | Full refund available. |
| After 12 hours / printing has begun | Cancellation is no longer possible. |

8. Your Legal Rights
This policy does not override your rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. If a product is defective, misdescribed, or of inferior quality, you are entitled to a refund, replacement, or repair under Indian law. E-commerce sellers in India are required to clearly state their return and refund policies and process refunds within a reasonable timeframe.
