New Order
These are some of the activities that take place when a new order is received by KHHI nepal. First we make sure the payment is well received then each online sale/payment is official acknowledged by an invoice (PDF file) on the following business days. The invoice will have topics like payment, sales amount, sold item/s name, quantity, time frame, forwarding, delivery time and others as necessary. In case of any order confusion or mix up then we will first contact the buyer and confirm the product/s before processing. We will also update the customer should there by any need for it. The tracking number will be emailed to the customer by KHHI shipper once the order is forwarded to the shipper.
(IMP notice :: If you have not received any email from us even after 3-4 days from paid day then please contact us directly thru our LIVE CHAT. We have learnt that some of our emails are discarded by some anti-virus program due to it being an attachment email creating suspicion/confusion within the buyers)

Delivery & time frame
This entirely depends on the type and availability (in stock) of the product that is ordered. We assure that we will take as less time as possible unless our activities are badly disrupted. Products in stock are shipped within 2-3-5 days from sales invoice. We also entertain "Deadline" if there is any at no extra charge. Our normal time frame is given below. Our forwarding partner is Atlanta Traders and Exporters and shippers we use are DHL, TNT and EMS nepal (USPS).
Order processing (handing/making) + forwarding = 10-12-15 days
Legal procedures (formalities + documentations) = 1-2 day
Shipping (source to destination) = 3-5-7 days
Shipping Issue :: *NEW*
Due to some strict regulation on straight blades, especially large double edged knives, bowie, machete, swords, daggers by DHL (our main shipper), we are compelled to ship thru the “Cargo+Courier” mode along with various items mixed together. Hence the delivery time frame is longer than regular shipping. We regretfully announce that this shipping method takes anytime from 5-8-12 days from the shipped date depending on the countries. We are working very closely with the shipper to sorting it out but it may take some time. On the other hand, any small and simpler knives have no issue and shipped as normal (3-5 days or less).
Shipping Note exercised for exporting/shipping:
We declare all knives as “Traditional Handicrafts from Nepal”/ "Souvenirs from Nepal” under internationally recognized GSP code provided to KHHI nepal by the Nepalese Govt. We also make all the required documentations and favorable billings so that clearance and collection can be swiftly done at the customer's end. However, if the importing laws of a country require a permit and others (as every country has their own laws and we have to get abide by it) then our shipper in the destination country will notify the buyer to fulfilling the legal steps needed to clear the order from the customs. After releasing it will be delivered at the home/office location of the buyer (the final destination) by the shipper.
Please be notified that if customs official confiscates the order for any other reason then KHHI will not be held responsible and thus refund is not done.
Refund policy
KHHI stands firm in delivery quality knives and the staff works round the clock tirelessly to meet the demands and to satisfy customers' need. All our products are carefully checked time and again before forwarding to the shipper. We also take pride in saying that we have more than 80% returning customers always wanting to buy more. This fact itself discloses the quality and the customer service we offer. However there may come circumstances/situations where company has to implement a refund policy. Here are few of such..
- In case a product other than actually ordered/sold has been sent by mistake
- When payment for the same order is accidentally received/deposited twice (Duplicate Order). However, KHHI does not entertain refunding thus we will try to negotiate with the customer to clear the matter
- If KHHI completely fails to deliver the product or delays well beyond the given delivery time frame
- Significant flaw in quality as per KHHI Warranty
Insurance policy
All products are insured and the buyer is eligible for full compensation under the following conditions:
If by any chance we completely fail to deliver a product within estimated given period of time. If an order is mistakenly sent to wrong address than the destination provided by the buyer. In case of theft, robbery, accident or lose of item before reaching the buyer. For any shipping error/issue/negligence from the shipper's end (here we will work out with the shipper and claim for compensation on customer's behalf). However in cases like minor damage in the product or buyer’s negligence causing damage to the product, we will not be held responsible. Insurance policy does not cover such act.
Replacement / Return policy
Since all our knives are entirely handmade and we are also human after all there may be small chances of error or quality issue. KHHI staff work round the clock for best possible quality however in very rare cases few knives may skip the quality control procedures. In such situation a customer can claim for a complete new one (replacement) or ask for Refund under the following conditions:
- as per the Warranty policy
- product must be completely damaged
- product must get severe injury (unusable)
- if the edge of the blade is intensely broken on arrival or gets intensely fractured when using
- customer must ship back the product to KHHI at his own cost
- KHHI will closely inspect the damage/s and replace at its own cost (including shipping) if required
- If KHHI decides to replace the damaged knife then the shipping cost from origin to destination has to be beared by the customer himself
Refunding is a lengthy administrative process at KHHI which takes about 3-5 days since we deeply investigate the cause for refund. On approval, KHHI will refund the whole amount.
"Please be notified that KHHI holds the right to accept or cancel the claim"
