Ordering & Personalisation
How does gift personalisation work on AKSHARAM Creatives?+
Upload your photo or type your text directly on the product page. For photo and text gifts - frames, mugs, card holders and more - you will see a live preview showing roughly how your finished gift will look before you buy. Add it to your cart once you are happy with the preview, and we produce it exactly as shown.
Can I see a preview of my personalised gift before ordering?+
Yes. Every photo and text based product has a live preview tool built into its product page, so you can check your photo placement and text before adding it to your cart. Hand-crafted pieces like the 3D miniatures and caricature do not show a live preview, since these are individually modelled or drawn by our artist from your reference photo.
What photo quality do I need for the best results?+
A clear, well-lit photo taken in good light gives the sharpest print, especially for larger sizes like the 14x18 inch acrylic frame. Avoid heavily cropped, blurry, or very low-resolution images - if a photo looks pixelated on your phone screen, it will look pixelated on the finished gift too.
Can I personalise a gift with more than one photo?+
It depends on the product. Layered photo frames and the 16-page personalised magazine are built for multiple photos. Single-photo products like the acrylic frame, wooden engraving frame and photo puzzle frame are designed around one main image. Message us on WhatsApp if you have a specific multi-photo idea and we will tell you what is possible.
Can I change or cancel my order after placing it?+
Message us on WhatsApp as soon as possible after ordering. Since every gift is made to order, we can usually accommodate changes before production starts, but not once your gift is already in production.
Products & Materials
What is the difference between an acrylic and a wooden photo frame?+
An acrylic photo frame prints your photo onto glossy, glass-like acrylic for a bright, modern, gallery-wall look. A wooden engraving frame laser-engraves your photo into natural wood for a warmer, rustic, single-tone finish. Acrylic suits vibrant colour photos best; wooden engraving suits portraits and photos you want to feel timeless rather than bright.
Is acrylic or wood better for a humid climate like Gujarat?+
Acrylic is the more humidity-resistant option - it will not warp, swell, or absorb moisture the way untreated wood can over years in a humid climate. Our wooden pieces are still built to last with normal indoor use, but if the gift will hang somewhere with direct humidity exposure (near a bathroom or kitchen, for instance), acrylic is the safer long-term choice.
What sizes are available for the personalised acrylic frame?+
The personalised acrylic frame comes in three sizes - 10x14 inch, 12x16 inch, and 14x18 inch - so you can pick based on the wall space you are filling and the level of detail in your photo.
How are the personalised 3D miniatures made?+
You upload a reference photo of yourself and your loved one, and our artist hand-models a miniature figurine based on it. Because each piece is individually crafted rather than machine-printed, production takes longer than a photo/text product - message us on WhatsApp for the current timeline before ordering if your date is fixed.
Shipping & Delivery
Do you deliver personalised gifts across India, or only in Vadodara?+
We are based in Vadodara and ship across the city as well as pan-India. If you need same-day or next-day delivery specifically within Vadodara, message us your area on WhatsApp and we will confirm what is possible for your product and location.
How long does it take to make and deliver a personalised gift?+
Most photo and text based gifts are produced and shipped within a few days of you approving the preview. Hand-crafted pieces like the 3D miniatures and caricature take longer since each one is individually made. Message us on WhatsApp with your product and date and we will give you an accurate timeline before you order.
Is same-day delivery available in Vadodara?+
For select in-stock or quick-turnaround items within Vadodara, same-day or next-day delivery may be possible - this depends on the specific product and your order time. Message us on WhatsApp before ordering if your gift is for a same-day occasion, and we will tell you honestly whether we can make the deadline.
Payment
What payment methods do you accept?+
We accept online payment via UPI, credit/debit cards, and net banking through Razorpay, one of India's most widely used secure payment processors. All orders are prepaid at checkout.
Is it safe to pay online on your website?+
Yes. Online payments are processed through Razorpay's secure, PCI-compliant payment page - your card and banking details are handled directly by Razorpay, not stored on our servers.
Corporate & Bulk Orders
Do you offer corporate or bulk gifting?+
Yes. We regularly handle corporate gifting for teams, client appreciation, and events - from name-and-logo mugs to personalised wooden card holders. Since every business's needs are different, message us on WhatsApp with your quantity, branding requirements, and delivery date for a direct quote.
Can you add our company logo to gifts for employees or clients?+
Yes - logo personalisation is available on products like our name-and-logo mugs and wooden card holders, and can be discussed for other products too. Share your logo file and quantity on WhatsApp and we will confirm what is possible and the lead time for bulk production.
Returns & Support
What is your return or replacement policy for personalised items?+
Because every gift is made specifically to your photo or text, personalised items are generally not eligible for change-of-mind returns. If your order arrives damaged or with a genuine production error on our part, message us on WhatsApp with photos of the issue and we will make it right. See our Return & Refund Policy page for full details.
How do I contact AKSHARAM Creatives for help?+
The fastest way is WhatsApp - tap the WhatsApp button on any page of the site, or call/message us directly at +91 70431 25969. We are a real, local Vadodara team, not a call centre, so you will get a genuine reply rather than a ticket number.
