To ensure no steps are missed, please refer to the checklist here.
Do you offer design consultation?
Yes, we offer complimentary design consultations. Our design stylists will assist you in exploring options for your space and help you visualise how a product will look in your home. Consultations are available online as well as at our flagship and partner store locations.
Can I customise a product?
Our products are designed and curated based on extensive market research and years of experience from our sister brand. We offer a thoughtfully selected range of colours and sizes. For specific size or finish requirements, we are open to discussing customisation options for institutional or high-volume orders.
For more bespoke or fully customised requirements, we invite you to explore our sister brand, Maanavi Homes.
Do you offer bulk order discounts?
Our pricing is already competitive for the design quality we offer. For institutional or high-volume orders, pricing may vary depending on the product, finish, and quantity. Please get in touch with us to discuss.
Is gift wrapping available?
We do not offer gift wrapping at this time.
What if a product goes out of stock after I have paid?
In the unlikely event that a product becomes unavailable after payment is received, we will issue a full refund to the original payment source or offer a replacement product, whichever you prefer.
Can I order under my company name?
Yes. You may enter your GST number at checkout to have the invoice raised in your company's name.
Will two orders placed at different times match each other?
We endeavour to keep product specifications as consistent as possible. However, as our furniture is handcrafted, there may be subtle variations from one production batch to another, particularly in colour, grain, and texture. We recommend ordering all required pieces together to ensure the closest possible match.
Can I claim GST input tax credit?
We provide a GST-compliant invoice for all purchases. Input tax credit eligibility is subject to the applicable GST categorisation and is available for business-to-business orders only. Please note that we do not alter the furniture categorisation on invoices, and items will not be listed as office furniture or under any other alternate category. We recommend consulting your tax advisor for guidance.
Will the product look exactly as shown in the catalogue?
We take great care to represent our products as accurately as possible. However, as all our pieces are handcrafted, minor variations are inherent to the process. Colours, fabrics, and finishes may also vary slightly from how they appear on screen.
To view our fabric and material library in person, we welcome you to visit our flagship store in Surat.

Access-related costs, such as staircase handling, special labour, window loading, or any additional handling required at the delivery location, are charged as per actuals.
How long does dispatch take?
We typically dispatch orders from our central warehouse within 45–60 working days from the date of order confirmation. However, timelines may vary during high-volume periods, festive seasons, material shortages, production delays, logistics disruptions, labour constraints, or other unforeseen circumstances beyond our control. For orders involving multiple pieces, the dispatch timeline may vary depending on the quantity, product type, and production schedule. We recommend keeping an additional buffer of 15–20 days, especially during high-volume periods or peak seasons.
How long does shipping take after dispatch?
Shipping time is typically 2–10 working days from dispatch, depending on your destination pin code, and may vary.
Can I check the estimated delivery date for my pin code?
The estimated delivery timeline will be communicated to you at the time of order confirmation, based on your delivery PIN code, product availability, and logistics feasibility. Any changes in the expected delivery date would be communicated promptly.

We may hold your order at our warehouse for up to 15–20 days from the date it is ready for dispatch, subject to storage availability. Beyond this period, a demurrage/storage charge of 2% per week will be applicable.
Do you deliver to my doorstep?
Yes, we deliver to your doorstep, provided your building has a service lift of adequate size to accommodate the furniture.
Will I receive all items in my order together?
Yes, for multi-product orders, we generally aim to deliver all items together in a single shipment. However, if there is any delay from our end for one or more products, we may dispatch the available items separately in multiple shipments to avoid unnecessary delay. If you would prefer all your products to be delivered together in one shipment, please contact our customer care team, and we will be happy to assist you accordingly.
What if my building does not have a service lift?
If your building does not have a service lift, we kindly request that you arrange suitable labour to carry the furniture through the staircase or any other available access route. Our delivery rates only include delivery via service lift and via labor up to the 2nd floor. For higher floors, labour charges are extra as per actuals. Wherever possible, we will be happy to assist by coordinating additional manpower at an extra charge. However, this will be subject to availability at the delivery location and cannot be guaranteed in every case. We also request that you check the staircase, passage, doorway, lift, and turning-space dimensions before placing your order. Please note that the packed product size may be larger than the actual product size due to protective packaging used for safe transit. If the stairway, passage, doorway, or any access route is narrow or unsuitable for the product, please inform us at the time of placing the order so that we can guide you better. In case this is not communicated in advance, Noform will not be liable for any damage that may occur while moving the product through restricted access areas.

Will the delivery team schedule a time with me in advance?
Yes, our delivery partner will call you to schedule a delivery with you before attempting to deliver.
What is the delivery and unboxing process?
Where installation is required, the installation team will unbox the product at the time of installation.
For products that do not require installation, we will arrange an open-box delivery. The delivery partner will place the product at the designated location shared by you at the time of delivery. We kindly request you to note that the delivery partner may not be able to move the product beyond the assigned location. For your reference and convenience, you may also record the unboxing of the product, if required.
Do you ship outside India?
We currently ship within India only. For large institutional or commercial orders, please contact us to discuss international shipping options.
What if the packaging is damaged upon delivery?
We use multi-layer certified packaging to help minimise the risk of damage during transit. Minor damage to the outermost layer of packaging may occasionally occur during handling or transportation and does not necessarily indicate damage to the product itself.
