Shipping Policy

Shipping policy applies to all physical products at the Bab-e-Hikmat only. 

For orders within Karachi

We strive to ensure that your orders reach you as soon as possible. After placing an order, you will instantly receive a confirmation email with details of your order. It will then be our priority to swiftly prepare and dispatch your order. Most commonly, all items are prepared after the order is placed, or lifted from our warehouse and dispatched within the first four or five business days. 

However, we will let you know via email, phone call or SMS if there is any unforeseen issue because of which there is a delay expected.

In Karachi, we partner with Bykea and they are responsible for delivery of products. All delivery costs within the city are charged at a flat Rs 250 rate. 

In case your product needs to be returned or exchanged at the time of inspecting it when it arrives, you can request our rider to take it back. However, if it needs to be returned after its delivery, you will need to bear the cost of sending it back to our premises within. For more details on this, please read Returns and Exchange Policy.

For national and international orders

For nationwide delivery, we use TCS & Leopards services. In this case, the cost of shipping is as per actual and the customer is informed through their contact information, before the order is processed. Once the confirmation is made, and the online payment is received we initiate the order. The projected delivery time for all orders out of Karachi are based on in-house 4 to 5 days of processing time, and actual time of shipment by our courier service providers.

For international orders a similar process is followed. We notify the expected shipment costs to the customers before processing the order and once the confirmation is made, and the online payment is received we initiate the order. The projected delivery time for all international orders are based on in-house 4 to 5 days of processing time, and actual time of shipment by our courier service providers.

This is neat - alumni from AKU-ISMC have set up an Urdu-English meditation platform to help people cope with the crisis of uncertainty and lockdown. We make a big deal about training future leaders in AKU-ISMC and sometimes that means people who have obvious positions of authority, like politicians, diplomats, scholars or entrepreneurs, but sometimes it means taking a lead in more personal capacities to try and make things better for others.

I'm truly impressed and humbled by Tehmina Mansoor and Zohaib Zuby. They are definitely demonstrating the kind of leadership that makes me proud to be part of AKU.
