1. Shipping Overview

Nomad Knot is a curated marketplace for authentic handmade Afghan rugs. Most rugs are shipped directly from the source (artisan or seller location) to ensure authenticity and fair trade.

2. Processing Time
• Order processing begins after payment confirmation.
• Sellers typically confirm availability and prepare shipments within 2–5 business days.

3. Delivery Timeframes

Because many rugs ship directly from origin:
• Standard delivery: up to 21 business days
• International transit times may vary due to customs, inspections, or carrier delays.

⚠️ Delivery timelines are estimates, not guarantees.

4. Shipping Origin

Orders may ship from:
• Afghanistan
• Regional seller warehouses
• Partner logistics hubs

Shipping origin depends on the seller and rug type.

5. Shipping Costs
• Shipping costs are calculated per item and shown at checkout or communicated before order confirmation (for custom or oversized rugs).
• Large or oversized rugs may require special handling and higher shipping fees.

6. Customs, Duties & Taxes
• International orders may be subject to customs duties, VAT, or import taxes.
• These fees are the buyer’s responsibility, unless stated otherwise.

7. Tracking Information
• Tracking details will be shared once the order ships.
• Some international shipments may have limited tracking updates until arrival in the destination country.

8. Delays & Force Majeure

Nomad Knot is not responsible for delays caused by:
• Customs clearance
