Shipping and delivery policy
Orders are mailed in Eco Femme environment-friendly carton envelopes or plain shipping boxes, depending on the size of your order, and with Eco Femme’s return address noted on the item.
Orders are mailed through India Post Service to all destinations in your name, and international addressees will receive their parcel through the national post service of their country. This means that upon making your order you are aware of this and you agree that liability for your parcel (i.e. for delay or loss) lies with the Post Service from the moment it is handed over to them. You can support the smooth arrival by tracking your parcel yourself regularly.
Once your parcel is shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation email to the email id that you provided when you made your order. Please do also check your spam-mail just in case. This email contains the information you need to track the delivery status of your parcel: the Registration / Tracking / Consignment Number and the instructions on how to check its delivery status. You can track through the India Post Service, or via Global Track And Trace, or via the online tracking system of your national post service. We would be happy that you receive your order smoothly. You can support this by tracking your parcel yourself regularly.
Your parcel will be delivered by your national post service to the shipping address you provided when you made your order. Because the orders are posted as ‘registered letter’, the delivery handover usually requires a signature from the addressee, and the parcel cannot be left in your letter box.
- If nobody is present at the delivery address at the time of delivery, the delivery person might try to deliver it again another day, or will leave a note, asking you to pick it up yourself from your local post office. You can check for this note in your letter box.
- If you are unsure about the delivery status of your parcel, then track your parcel online for more information and check in with your local post office. You can also check if it was delivered to your neighbours.
- If the tracking information shows that delivery attempted was attempted unsuccessfully, then contact your local post office.

- If you receive notice that your parcel is waiting for you to pick it up at your local post office, please do soon. We would be happy that you receive your order smoothly and avoid that your parcel is returned to us upon not having been picked up for too long and additional shipping charges for you in case we have to send it to you again.

In our experience, the parcels leave India within 2-3 days after we send them out of the Eco Femme office. But India Post Service has no influence on shipping timing or custom clearance timing within the country of destination.
- Currently the parcels sent to Italy are taking a long time with Italy Post.
- In some cases in Germany and France the custom service takes 1-2 weeks to release parcels to Deutsche Post / La Poste France.
- We have observed that some parcels going to the UK take a little more time.
