Couple premium hamper — paired engraved beer mugs + LED-lit family photo frame + gourmet chocolate truffles + matched rakhi set at ₹1,999–₹2,699. The greenfield /collections/rakhi-for-didi-jiju shelf has the full curated set — nobody else owns this market.

Yes — for 50+ hampers we can custom-brand the box exterior with your company logo + a personalised card insert. Email hello@theyayacafe.com for the corporate gifting quote — typical lead-time is 2 weeks before Rakhi, so place orders by 14 August for 28 August delivery.

Every personalisable component (mug, cushion, T-shirt, frame, plaque, rakhi engraving) takes name + photo + quote at no extra cost. 24–48 hour make-time on the longest-lead piece. We WhatsApp a per-piece proof of every print + engraving before we ship — premium hampers are not the place for a 'wait, that's not how he spells it' moment.

Free above ₹699 in Tier-1 metros; flat ₹49 below that. Tier-2/3: ₹49–₹99 based on weight. International ₹599–₹1,299 per parcel depending on destination. All premium hampers qualify for free Tier-1 metro shipping; Tier-2/3 might attract a small handling fee for the larger boxes.

Yes — express add-on at ₹149 (Tier-1) / ₹249 (Tier-2/3) shaves 1–2 business days off the standard window. Auto-offered at checkout if you're inside the express courier serviceable PIN list. Highly recommended on premium — these are personalised AND heavy, so the standard window + make-time can cut close to Rakhi. The ₹149–₹249 express buys you a day's buffer.

Yes — COD available up to ₹3,000 (₹49 COD fee). Above ₹3,000 we ask for at least 50% prepaid for fraud-prevention reasons. Most premium-hamper orders go prepaid for the chargeback safety net anyway.

USA, UK, Canada, Australia, UAE, Singapore, Germany — ₹599–₹1,299 per parcel based on weight and destination, 7–14 business days. Customs duties payable on delivery in some destinations. Premium hampers are heavier, so international shipping skews ₹999–₹1,499 (USA, UK, AU). Landed cost typically ₹2,500–₹4,000 — the 'NRI bhabhi sending to in-laws' tier.

7-day no-questions returns on non-personalised items (perishables and personalised gifts excluded — we don't have a use for someone else's name on a mug). Damaged-in-transit gets full refund or replacement, just send a photo to support within 48 hours. For multi-piece hampers — if one component is damaged, we ship the replacement piece (no need to return the whole hamper). Premium hampers also get priority replacement-shipping (express, no charge) so the gift arrives intact before Rakhi.
