We only showcase curated products.

b) Items with a price are sourced, designed, produced by THE MEMORY COMPANY and housed at the THE MEMORY STORE, when you see an item you like, click on “Add To Cart” and continue shopping until you are ready to complete your purchase. Then click on “Go To Cart” from that page, click on “Checkout” to confirm your quantity and items, and enter your name, address, billing and shipping details; finally, click on “Complete Order” to complete payment details.

I’ve ordered a TMC product , can I add more things to my order?

Once you have placed an order, and made the payment, it is not possible to add another item to the existing order. However, if you can continue to buy more products on the same day, we can ship them as part of the same order but they may or may not ship in the same box.

Once your order has been shipped, you will be sent a shipping confirmation email.  We make every effort to meet the time-lines, but during busy seasons deliveries may take a little longer and we regret the delay. We will do our best to get your order shipped as quickly as possible.

How can I change, cancel or return my TMC products order?

For Limited Editions  : The nature of limited edition prints/items is that once you place an order, we only make it for you and begin the production process within a few hours of your order. And so it is not possible to cancel orders as they could have already be in midst of production or even shipped; hence we do not accept cancellations, returns, modifications, changes or refunds for Limited Editions.

However, we understand that there can be a sudden afterthought, or an error in orders, so we offer a 2-hour window to cancel or change your order from the moment you placed it earlier. Please email us at indianmemoryshop@gmail.com  with your order number along your request to cancel/modify and we shall comply as per your requirements. Please note no orders can be cancelled/changed or returned after a 2-hour window and all sales are final.

Can I exchange or replace a product?

a) If the product order was placed on Amazon, that would not be our responsibility, and you must get in touch with Amazon to assist you.

The Memory Store has the right to decline a return or a refund. Please note that customers/buyers are responsible for the fees involved for returning items, unless stated otherwise.

Color Matching

There is always a difference in colours – in what we see on screen and how it gets printed on paper. So please be aware that there will be a colour variation, however, we supervise each print with offline printing expertise, so the variation will be to its minimum.

We use a range of museum quality archival papers to print limited edition prints. For eg Hahnemuhle and Enhanced Matte Fibre in a range of paper GSMs and textures.

• To prevent fading or color distortion, it’s best to hang your paper print away from direct sunlight and in a cool, dry space and definitely not outdoors or in balconies.
• Remove dust by blowing gently, or using compressed air – (a hair dryer set to low & cool  helps).
• Never use water or cleaning products of any kind to clean your paper print. It can cause the inks to run.
• Framing is always a good option to protect art prints from dust, water damage, and tears. However, if you plan to keep the print rolled-up for a while please consider using small silica bags in the box that help absorb moisture and humidity. Silica gel packets can be found at the pharmacy.
• While opening the print, get some help of a friend and hold the prints by its edges to avoid any creases and bumps
• Never please any heavy object on top of your paper print, it will leave weight creases.
• Best practice is to hand it to a framer immediately.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept only online payments. The Memory Store uses two robust and absolutely secure online payment intermediaries : Instamojo FOR NOW. You can use either of them to pay for your order. Instamojo accepts net-banking, UPI, debit card, credit card, (Amex, Diners, Mastercard, Maestro, Visa, Rupay)).

Why is my payment card not being accepted.

Perhaps you need to double check the banking or card details again for it may not have been entered correctly. Alternatively, you could try a different card, use net banking on Paypal, Instamojo or you can contact us via email and we’ll look into it for you. Maybe its best to check if there is an upgrade going on at your bank’s end.

How is my order / item packaged?

The Memory Store packaging is designed to protect your order. We care that you receive the best product you have ordered and so we wrap the item well. At the same time, we also care that our packaging is environmentally friendly and does not entail too much waste. Prints are usually rolled in a mailing tube that we think you can re-purpose and re-use. Other products are packaged in  protective boxes or envelopes. If your order contains different products they may be shipped as separate items and may arrive on different days.

What are the Delivery Times?

If your product is a Limited Edition custom produced item then it is  individually printed and assembled after you order it, so please do permit 5-10 days for production time and delivery.

If the item is available with us in our existing inventory, then we ship your order within 5-7 working days after the order is placed. We request you to permit us extra time for your order to be processed during public holidays/peak season (e.g., Diwali, Christmas, etc.) in India. The seasons affect production and shipping services as well.

A delay may also occur due to a pending payment authorisation, which is outside of The Memory Store influence or control. Some countries may require additional time.
