Global Pricing & Shipping FAQ

Global Pricing & Shipping FAQ

Why do prices vary between the India Store and the Global Store? At Pakke Dhaage, we operate a lean and transparent pricing model to serve both domestic and international customers seamlessly:

The India Store: Tailored for domestic ground shipping within India, utilizing standard domestic packaging, local logistics networks, and domestic payment gateways.

The Global Store: An all-inclusive export service for our international community. This pricing incorporates Export-Grade reinforced packaging, international transit insurance, and Priority Air Freight documentation.

This structure allows us to offer Free International Shipping on orders of USD $200+ and highly competitive shipping rates for smaller orders without hidden import-handling surcharges at checkout.

Is there a difference in the garment quality? The core handcrafted Chikankari artistry and premium fabric quality remain identical across all pieces. However, every order placed through the Global Store undergoes an additional 14-point Export Quality Control (QC) check to ensure flawless condition for long-haul international transit. Garments are then sealed in moisture-resistant, reinforced multi-layer packaging to protect against humidity and varied climate zones during international air freight.

Can I purchase from the India Store and ship to an international address? No. To maintain export compliance, international insurance coverage, and accurate customs documentation, the India Store only processes orders with domestic Indian billing and shipping addresses. International shipments must be placed directly through our Global Store.

How does your Global Price compare to other brands? Even with export-grade handling and priority international transit, our direct-from-artisan model eliminates middleman markups. Shopping directly from our Lucknow and Mumbai workshops saves you 15–30% compared to typical high-end international Chikankari retailers.
