Satnam Overseas
Refund & Return Policy
Scope
Applies to all non-woven bag categories: D-Cut, W/U-Cut, Loop Handle, Box/Laminated, Printed/Custom, and specialty formats. Covers standard and custom orders, including branded and PMS-color jobs.
Eligibility
- Eligible issues
- Manufacturing defects, seam or handle failure, dimensional variance beyond tolerance, GSM deviation from agreed specifications, and approved artwork/print errors attributable to production. Custom items are returnable only if defect is production-related; default remedy is replacement or credit.
- Ineligible issues
- Minor cosmetic variations, shade differences inherent to non-woven fabric, acceptable print registration tolerances, and issues arising from improper storage or post-delivery mishandling.
Timelines
Intimation window: within 7 working days from delivery for standard orders. For time-bound activations/events: within 3 working days from delivery. Resolution target: 5–10 working days after receipt of complete claim evidence and any requested samples for QC.
Condition of Goods & Defect Criteria
Items must be unused, unwashed, in original bundles/cartons, and accompanied by invoice and purchase order reference. Minimum returnable quantity is typically full cartons for bulk supplies unless written approval is given for partial quantities.
Defect Criteria (Guidance)
- Fabric
- GSM deviation beyond PO/spec; excessive thinning, tears under normal handling; lamination peel for laminated bags.
- Stitching / Handles
- Seam failure, skipped stitches, handle detachment under standard load conditions per agreed spec sheet.
- Printing
- Wrong artwork, incorrect sizing, color variance beyond agreed tolerance, smudging, or misalignment exceeding acceptable limits.
Non-Returnable Cases
Approved pre-production sample deviations where written waiver was granted; damage due to storage issues, moisture, infestation, mishandling, or third-party logistics beyond delivery acceptance; wear and tear from use, or delays in intimation beyond the stated timelines.
Resolution Options
Primary remedy: replacement from the next available or prioritized production lot. Alternatives: credit note (adjustable against future invoices) or rework/rectification if technically feasible and mutually agreed.
Refunds
Monetary refunds are generally not offered; replacement or credit is the standard remedy. In exceptional, management-approved cases, a refund may be processed net of used quantity and reasonable logistics/processing charges.
Shipping & Logistics
If the defect is validated, two-way logistics will be arranged/borne by Satnam Overseas; otherwise, return freight is customer’s responsibility. For high-volume orders, pickup or on-site audits may be coordinated subject to feasibility.
How to Raise a Claim
Send an email with the subject Return/Exchange Request – [PO/Invoice No.]. Include: PO and invoice copies, delivery date, batch/lot identifiers, quantity delivered, clear photos/videos of the issue (fabric close-up, seams/handles, print zones, carton labels), a brief issue description, approximate defect rate (%), and preferred remedy (replacement/credit).

Quality Controls & Commercial Tolerances
Pre-production proofing and sign-offs for custom jobs (artwork/size/color). Batch checks for GSM, seam strength, and print registration prior to dispatch.
- Dimensions
- Typically up to ±5 mm for small bags and ±10 mm for larger formats unless otherwise agreed in the PO.
- Commercially acceptable deviations for non-woven screen/flexo; PMS-matched targets only where explicitly agreed in writing.
Title, Risk & Inspection
Title and risk pass at delivery per agreed terms; hidden defects must be reported within the stated intimation window. Satnam Overseas may request inspection/testing of samples before approving any remedy.
Cancellations
Standard SKUs: cancellable pre-dispatch subject to confirmation. Custom runs: not cancellable after raw material cutting/printing has begun; expedited orders may incur actuals for material, setup, and labor.
Governing Terms & Updates
This policy is read alongside the purchase order, proforma invoice, approved samples, and mutually agreed specifications. In case of conflict, written contractual terms prevail. Policy may be updated periodically; orders are subject to the policy version communicated or shared at the time of order.
