Why do our products take time to ship?
Curious Cat Company is a small, boutique brand featuring products for cat lovers designed by talented Indian artists who get a share of the revenues. We started this brand during the lockdown to channelise our love for cats & art.
Unlike funded e-commerce brands who mass produce their goods & store them massive warehouses to ship quickly, our products are printed only when an order is placed. We humbly acknowledge that we are unable to compete with the delivery timelines set by larger e-commerce companies.Thus, it takes a minimum of 4-5 days for most products to be shipped from our warehouse. We truly appreciate your support & patronage.
If it is a handmade or a customised product, it may take longer since there are unseen challenges for an artist to ensure that the product is of the highest quality. The artists we collaborate with take genuine pride and infuse their creation of love & care to make something unique just for you. This may require you, as a customer to sometimes, allow a flexibility in the timeline & accommodate a slightly longer waiting time.
I need to gift someone for a special occasions. Is there any way to quickly ship certain products?
Some special products are stocked in-house in our Mumbai office including limited edition collections. These can be shipped within 24 hours of placing an order. Please check our "Quick Ship" Page to know which products can be shipped within 24 hours.
In case a product is out of stock, it may take 5-7 days to restock. Please bear with us as we try our best to fulfil your orders as quickly as possible.
Why are Handmade products expensive?
Mass production allows the goods to be priced lower because of economies of scale. On the contrary, a handmade product requires individual time & effort apart from hard earned skill. This not only makes the product one of a kind but also helps the Artist earn their livelihood while promoting Art.
How Do I Track My Order?
As soon as your order is read and picked up, (which is currently taking 10-15 days as mentioned above) by our delivery partners, you will receive an email notification from “Shiprocket” mentioning the tracking number and order details. Please look out for this email.
