Aritra Prakashani

General Information

We typically deliver within 5-7 working days across West Bengal. For Kolkata, Howrah, and nearby areas including our local region of Purba Bardhaman, you can expect delivery within 3-5 days. For other states, it usually takes 7-10 working days depending on your location. During peak seasons like Durga Puja or Kolkata Book Fair time, there might be slight delays, but we’ll keep you updated via SMS and email.

The easiest way is to use the search bar at the top of the page – just type the book name, author, or even a keyword from the title. You can also browse by categories like Bengali Story, Horror, Poetry, Novel, etc. from the main menu. If you’re looking for something specific and can’t find it, give us a call at +91 97322 23106 during business hours, and we’ll help you locate it or even order it for you if we don’t have it in stock.

First, we’re really sorry if this happened! Please WhatsApp us a photo of the damaged book or the incorrect item at +91 97322 23106 within 24 hours of delivery. We’ll arrange a replacement immediately at no extra cost to you. For damaged books, you don’t need to return the item first – we’ll send the replacement right away. Just make sure you don’t remove any packaging or protective covers until you’ve checked the book.

Absolutely! We understand that not every book makes it to our online catalog. If you’re looking for a specific title – whether it’s a rare Bengali novel, an academic book, or something from a particular author – just drop us an email at aritraprakashani@gmail.com or call us. Give us 3-5 days, and we’ll let you know if we can arrange it for you. This is especially useful for out-of-print Bengali literature or regional publications.

Once you place an order, you’ll receive a confirmation email with your order number. You can log into your account on our website and go to “My Orders” to see real-time status updates. We also send SMS updates when your order is packed and dispatched. If you ordered as a guest, just email us your order number, and we’ll give you an update within a few hours.

Yes, you can! Many of our customers, especially those who aren’t comfortable with online shopping, prefer calling us. Just ring +91 97322 23106 between 10 AM to 6 PM (Monday to Friday) or 11 AM to 3 PM on Saturday. Tell us which books you want, and we’ll take your delivery address and process the order. You can pay via Cash on Delivery or share payment details over the phone if you prefer online payment.

Not necessarily. We offer guest checkout, so you can buy books without creating an account. However, having an account makes things easier – you can track orders, save your wishlist, and checkout faster next time. Plus, registered customers get early notifications about new Bengali releases and special discounts.

Payment & Pricing

Completely safe. We use secure payment gateways that are PCI-DSS compliant, which means your card details are encrypted and never stored on our servers. You’ll notice the ‘https’ in the URL and the padlock icon in your browser when you’re on the payment page – that’s your security confirmation. We’ve been serving customers across Bengal for years now, and we take data security very seriously.

Your card is charged immediately after you confirm your order. You’ll receive a payment confirmation via email within minutes. This helps us process your order quickly and get your books dispatched without delay. For Cash on Delivery orders, obviously, payment is collected only when the books reach your doorstep.

We accept almost everything – Credit/Debit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, RuPay), Net Banking, UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), and Mobile Wallets. And yes, Cash on Delivery is available for most areas in West Bengal, though there’s a small COD handling charge of ₹50. For orders above ₹500, we often waive off the COD charge during promotional periods.

No hidden charges at all. The price you see on the product page is what you pay, plus shipping charges which are shown clearly before you confirm your order. Shipping is usually ₹55 depending on your location and order weight. For orders above ₹999, we offer free shipping across West Bengal. The final amount including shipping is shown on the checkout page before you make any payment.

Yes, we do! If you’re ordering for a school, college, library, book club, or even a reading group, we can offer special pricing. Typically, for orders of 10 or more copies (same or mixed titles), we provide 10-15% discount. For institutional orders above ₹5,000, we can work out even better rates. Just email us at aritraprakashani@gmail.com with your requirements, and we’ll send you a customized quote within 24 hours.
