The delivery charge is shown at checkout before you place your order.
International orders: shipping cost depends on the destination, package weight and courier service. It will be communicated and confirmed with you before payment is completed. Customers are responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, or other charges imposed by their destination country unless otherwise stated.
4. Order Tracking
Where available, tracking information will be provided once your order has been dispatched.
Please note that tracking updates depend on the courier service and may not be available immediately after shipment.
5. Handmade Product Disclaimer
Many Aura Bangladesh products are handcrafted using traditional weaving techniques.
As a result:
- Slight variations in weaving, color, texture, pattern, and measurements are natural.
- These variations are part of the authenticity and uniqueness of handmade products.
- Such variations should not be considered defects.
Product colors may also vary slightly due to lighting conditions and individual device or screen settings.
6. Returns
You may return a product within 3 days of receiving it, for any reason, including an incorrect, damaged or defective product, or if you have simply changed your mind.
To request a return, please contact us within 3 days of receiving your order and provide:
- Your order number
- Clear photographs of the product
- A brief reason for the return
Returned items must:
- Be new and unused
- Be unwashed
- Be in their original condition
- Include original tags, packaging, and accessories (where applicable)
Return requests submitted after 3 days of delivery will not be accepted.
7. Exchanges
Eligible products may be exchanged if:
- The wrong product was delivered.
- The product has a verified manufacturing defect.
- The exchange request has been approved by Aura Bangladesh.
All exchanges are subject to product availability.
If the requested replacement is unavailable, we may offer an alternative product or another suitable resolution.
8. Return Charges
- Incorrect, damaged or defective products: if the return is due to an error by Aura Bangladesh (an incorrect item, a product damaged on delivery, or a verified manufacturing defect), there is no return charge. We bear the return shipping cost.
- Change-of-mind returns: if the product is in perfect condition and is returned because you are no longer interested or have changed your mind, a return charge of BDT 150 applies. This amount is deducted from your refund.
Return pickup is arranged through our courier partner. The courier provides the return label at pickup, and the return charge is paid by the customer where it applies.
9. Non-Returnable Items
The following items are generally not eligible for return or exchange:
- Products that have been used, worn, washed, or altered
- Products damaged after delivery due to customer handling
- Custom-made or personalized products
- Clearance or promotional items marked as non-returnable
- Products returned without prior approval
10. Refund Policy
Refunds are issued only after the returned product has been received and inspected.
If approved, refunds will be processed within 3 days of inspection, using the original payment method whenever possible. For cash on delivery orders, we will refund by bKash or bank transfer.
Depending on your bank or payment provider, it may take a few additional business days for the refund to appear in your account.
The BDT 150 return charge (for change-of-mind returns) is deducted from the refund. The original delivery charge is non-refundable unless the return is due to an error by Aura Bangladesh or a verified defective product.
