Last Updated: August 1, 2026


1. Introduction

Thank you for shopping with Shreevaa, the online retail brand operated by Yamya Collection.

We are committed to delivering premium-quality ethnic wear and ensuring a positive shopping experience. Every product undergoes quality inspection before dispatch. However, if you receive a product that is damaged, defective, incorrect, or incomplete, we are here to assist you in accordance with this Return & Refund Policy.

Please read this policy carefully before placing an order, as it explains the conditions, process, and timelines applicable to returns, replacements, exchanges, and refunds.

By placing an order on www.shreevaa.in, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Return & Refund Policy.


2. Applicability

This policy applies only to purchases made directly through:

  • www.shreevaa.in

  • Official Shreevaa mobile applications (if launched)

  • Official Shreevaa WhatsApp ordering (where applicable)

Products purchased through marketplaces, distributors, retail stores, exhibitions, or third-party sellers are subject to the return policies of those respective platforms or sellers.


3. Our Quality Commitment

Every order is inspected before dispatch to ensure:

  • Correct product

  • Correct colour

  • Correct design

  • Proper packaging

  • Product quality

  • Product quantity

Dispatch photographs and packing records may be maintained by Shreevaa for quality assurance, dispute resolution, and fraud prevention purposes.


4. Return Eligibility

A return request may be considered only if one or more of the following conditions apply:

  • You received a damaged product during transit.

  • You received an incorrect product.

  • You received an incorrect colour or design due to our packing error.

  • The product has a manufacturing defect.

  • An item is missing from your shipment.

  • You received a materially different product than the one ordered.

All return requests are subject to verification and approval by Shreevaa.


5. Products Not Eligible for Return or Refund

Returns, refunds, or exchanges will generally not be accepted for:

  • Change of mind.

  • Personal dislike of colour, texture, fabric, or design.

  • Occasion cancellation.

  • Duplicate orders placed by the customer.

  • Incorrect size selection where sizing information was clearly provided.

  • Slight colour variations caused by screen settings, photography, lighting, or monitor differences.

  • Minor weaving irregularities or handcrafted characteristics that are not manufacturing defects.

  • Products that have been worn, washed, dry-cleaned, altered, stitched, ironed, perfumed, or damaged after delivery.

  • Sarees where fall, pico, edging, tassels, embroidery, or blouse stitching has been completed after delivery.

  • Products without original tags, labels, packaging, or accessories.

  • Gift cards, promotional items, or products marked as "Final Sale" or "Non-Returnable," unless required by applicable law.

Nothing in this policy limits any non-waivable rights available to consumers under applicable law.


6. Return Request Timeline (48-Hour Reporting Requirement)

Customers must initiate a return request within 48 hours (2 calendar days) from the date and time the order is marked as Delivered by our delivery partner.

Return requests submitted after the applicable 48-hour period may be declined, except where required by applicable law or where Shreevaa determines that exceptional circumstances justify further review.

Customers are strongly encouraged to inspect the package and product immediately upon delivery.


7. Mandatory Continuous Unboxing Video

To protect both customers and Shreevaa from fraudulent or inaccurate claims, a continuous, unedited unboxing video is mandatory for claims relating to:

  • Damaged product received

  • Wrong product received

  • Incorrect colour or design due to packing error

  • Missing item(s)

  • Incomplete shipment

  • Tampered package

  • Manufacturing defect visible upon opening

The video must:

  • Begin before opening the courier package.

  • Clearly show all sides of the sealed package.

  • Clearly display the courier shipping label and AWB number.

  • Record the complete opening process without interruption.

  • Clearly show every product and accessory received.

  • Clearly capture the reported issue.

  • Be a single continuous recording without edits, cuts, pauses, or transitions.

Shreevaa reserves the right to request additional photographs or information where necessary to complete the review.

Submission of an unboxing video does not automatically guarantee approval of a return, replacement, or refund.


8. Supporting Evidence

Customers may also be required to provide:

  • Clear photographs of the product.

  • Close-up photographs of the reported issue.

  • Photographs of the courier package.

  • Photographs of the shipping label.

  • Photographs showing the original product tags.

  • Any additional information reasonably requested by Shreevaa to verify the claim.

Providing complete and accurate information helps us investigate and resolve requests more efficiently.


9. Return Request Process

To ensure proper verification and efficient processing, all return requests must follow the process below.

Step 1 – Raise a Return Request through the Shreevaa Portal

Customers must submit a return request through their Shreevaa account within 48 hours of delivery.

The process is as follows:

  1. Log in to your account at www.shreevaa.in.

  2. Navigate to Profile.

  3. Click My Orders.

  4. Select the applicable order.

  5. Click Return Item(s). (This option is available only for eligible delivered orders within the applicable return window.)

  6. Select the item(s) to be returned.

  7. Select the applicable return reason.

  8. Review the return request details.

  9. Click Send Request.

After successful submission, a Return Request Number will be generated and displayed in your account. This number must be used in all future communications relating to your request.


Step 2 – Email Supporting Evidence

    • and any other supporting evidence requested by Shreevaa.

Failure to submit the required supporting evidence within a reasonable period may delay the review process or result in rejection of the request where sufficient verification cannot be completed.


10. Return Review and Verification

  • Review customer-submitted photographs and videos.

  • Compare the returned claim against dispatch records.

  • Consult courier partners regarding transit-related damage.

Submission of a return request does not constitute approval.

Each request is reviewed individually, and the final decision shall be communicated to the customer after completion of the verification process.

  • Has not undergone fall, pico, edging, tassel work, embroidery, blouse stitching, or any customization.
