Cancellation and Refund

1. Order Cancellations

At Mahatribes, our products are handcrafted by the Tribal Community of Maharashtra, and each item is unique. Due to this, cancellations must follow the guidelines below:

    • Orders can be canceled within 24 hours of placing the order. You can cancel by contacting our customer support team.
    • If your order has been processed or shipped, it cannot be canceled.
  • Cancellation After Shipment:
    • Once your order is shipped, we cannot process any cancellations. However, you may be eligible for a return or exchange once the item is delivered, depending on the return policy for that product (see below).
