High Markups and Delayed Service
The company ships products from India to the US and that is it, no big deal in that. The products are wonderful as there is a wide range to select from but all the products are marked over 200% even for the smallest items. I recently brought 1L ghee from the website it costs Rs. 5000 but I was charged $126 for this one item. All the other items were also marked very high even though they were on the same order. After that, the items get delivered after 15 days. The customer care is not very responsive to such questions either. This is ridiculous. I would never recommend this provider.

Dear Nandkishore Bhale, We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. Here are some clarifications regarding the pricing and delivery time of your orders: The price of our products includes various factors and expenses associated with the overall cost, such as domestic shipping, packaging materials, international shipping fees, customs duties and taxes, labor charges, and the seller's profit margin. These factors contribute to the final price and may explain why it appears higher than your initial conversion. We have reviewed your order history, and the delivery timeframes are as follows: Order #307098: Placed on March 15, 2023, delivered by March 27, 2023 (8 business days).
