Return & Replacement Policy
Majikhan Mud Art – Return & Replacement Policy
At Majikhan Mud Art, every creation tells a story — a story of soil, spirit, and soul. Rooted in the centuries-old tradition of Lippan Kaam (Mud and Mirror Work), each piece we offer is a humble tribute to the artistic expression of the Kutch desert, hand-shaped with patience, purpose, and pride by artisans whose craft has been passed down through generations.
We understand that shopping online for handmade art comes with its own set of expectations and concerns. That is why we have created this Return & Replacement Policy not merely as a guideline, but as a part of our promise to serve you with fairness, dignity, and transparency.
The Nature of Handmade Lippan Art
Before we dive into the finer details of our replacement process, we invite you to take a moment to appreciate what makes each Majikhan Mud Art piece truly unique.
Our art is born from earth and mirror, molded lovingly by hand—not machines. Small differences in patterns, slight variations in texture, uneven lines, or asymmetrical mirrors are not imperfections but intentional reflections of human touch. These nuances are not flaws; they are the very soul of Lippan art.
As with all heirloom crafts, no two pieces are exactly alike—and that is their true charm.
Unboxing with Care: A Shared Ritual
In the villages of Kutch, every ritual begins with respect—and so does our replacement process.
To help us support you effectively in the rare instance of transit-related damage or an incorrect delivery, we humbly request you to follow a simple yet essential step when receiving your parcel:
Parcel Opening Requirement (Mandatory Unboxing Video)
Just as we capture the final piece with care before shipping, we kindly ask you to record a video while opening your parcel. This video must clearly show the unboxing process from the moment the package is opened, without any cuts or edits.
This video is a mandatory requirement for any replacement claim. Without it, we are unable to assess the situation fairly and, hence, cannot proceed with a replacement.
We trust you understand that this practice, while simple, helps preserve the trust and transparency that form the foundation of our craft and commerce.
Replacement Requests: Honoring Your Experience
Although each of our pieces is meticulously packed and handled, there may be rare moments when a product arrives damaged or a mismatch occurs. In such cases, we offer replacements only—with our heartfelt apologies and sincere commitment to making it right.
To request a replacement, please follow these steps:
Step 1: Share Your Concern via WhatsApp
Please send the unboxing video, along with your order ID and a short message describing the issue, to:
📞 WhatsApp: +91 93276 52878
📧 Email: majikhanmudart@gmail.com
This step allows our team to review your request promptly and guide you forward. We typically respond within 24 to 48 hours, and you’ll always find us courteous and ready to listen.
Step 2: Verification & Approval
Once we receive your video and message, our team will verify the details. If your claim is found valid (i.e., due to damage during transit or an incorrect item sent), we will initiate the replacement process.
Please know that this process is rooted in fairness, and we evaluate each case with empathy and honesty.
Replacement Period
We offer a 7-day replacement period from the date of receiving your parcel. During this time, you may request a replacement for products that are damaged or incorrect. After this period, we will not be able to accept replacement claims.
Please ensure that you contact us within 7 days of receiving the product to be eligible for a replacement.
Please Note: No Returns, Only Replacements
As a policy, we do not offer returns for any of our Lippan art pieces. This decision is made with deep consideration and respect for the labor-intensive nature of our craft.
Each artwork is created not in bulk, but in small, intentional batches, often customized to your choice. Reintroducing returned pieces into our collection compromises the value we place on authenticity and craftsmanship.
We do, however, offer replacements in the following rare scenarios:
- If the product arrives damaged during shipping
- If an incorrect product is delivered by mistake
In all such cases, video proof is essential (as outlined above), and your request must be submitted within 7 days of receiving the order.
Timeline for Replacements
Once a claim is approved:
- The replacement will be processed and dispatched within 5 to 7 working days
- In certain cases where artisans must recreate the piece, the time may extend slightly—but we will keep you informed throughout
- Please allow for minor delays during festivals or public holidays, as our artisan teams observe these sacred times with family and community.
Custom Orders & Handmade Variations
We respectfully inform our patrons that customized or made-to-order items are not eligible for replacement, except in cases of damage during delivery.
We also request you to embrace the natural irregularities in our handmade products. These may include:
- Slight asymmetry in patterns
- Mirror placements that differ from sample images
- Subtle changes in tone or texture
Such details are hallmarks of authenticity and not grounds for replacement. In fact, they are the very reason many of our customers cherish our art—each piece is truly one-of-one.
Return Shipping Costs
In the event of an approved replacement:
- Majikhan Mudart will bear the return shipping cost if the issue is on our end (e.g., damage or incorrect item)
- If, for any other exceptional reason, a customer ships a product back voluntarily, the return courier charges will be the customer’s responsibility
All logistics will be coordinated kindly and clearly by our team.
Our Support Promise
Whether it is a small query or a significant concern, our team is always here to support you with respect, transparency, and timeliness.
📞 WhatsApp: +91 93276 52878

A Word of Gratitude
By choosing Majikhan Mudart, you are not just buying art—you are preserving a living tradition. You are supporting the hands that shape stories from the soil, the mirrors that reflect desert moons, and the heritage of a community that continues to create with pride and patience.
We humbly thank you for your trust and for allowing a piece of Kutch’s cultural soul to find a home with you. Our return & replacement policy is just a part of that shared journey—a reminder that even in logistics, there can be grace.
