When you order for the first time, you will receive a tracking number, which you can use to check your order status on our site. After that order is shipped to you, that tracking number turns into a "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" number that is good for up to one year (or until your next order, whichever comes first).
When you are ready for your next order, log on to http://www.india.lu/myshop/track
with your "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" number. A "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" link will appear, along with shipment details of your last order.
Click the link, and you will see the gallery from which you may choose your free item. The larger your last order, the more extravagant the gallery will be! There are five galleries in all.
We will include the item you choose for free with your new order. The value of your "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" item is not included in the total used to calculate shipping and handling fees.
Your new order earns a "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" item for your next order, too!
Remember, your "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" item can only be shipped with your NEXT order.

No, we have special galleries for you to choose your "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" item from. These galleries are accessed from the tracking interface. Which gallery is available to you depends on the amount of your last order (not including shipping-and-handling fees). These are the five galleries:
"BONUS-WITH-NEXT" Basic (If your previous order was for $149.99 or less)
"BONUS-WITH-NEXT" Bronze (If your previous order was for $150.00 to $249.99)
"BONUS-WITH-NEXT" Silver (If your previous order was for $250.00 to $399.99)
"BONUS-WITH-NEXT" Gold (If your previous order was for $400.00 to $749.99)
"BONUS-WITH-NEXT" Platinum (If your previous order was for $750.00 or more)

| I forgot to choose my "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" items with two of my orders earlier this year. Can I use my old "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" numbers to choose those two "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" items with my next order?
|
TOP |
|
|
No; each "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" number expires (and is deleted from our database) after your next order is placed. Use it or lose it!
|
|
|
| Will I have to pay any additional shipping-and-handling fee for my "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" item?
|
TOP |
|
|
No, we will bear the shipping-and-handling costs for the "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" items.
|
|
|
| I know I have a valid "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" number, but no "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" link shows up on my tracking interface. What should I do?
|
TOP |
|
|
There is a possibility that your "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" number may not have been included in the database for some technical reason. Please
e-mail us-we will investigate. If we are able to find your "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" number, we will make sure "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" link is restored to your interface.
|
|
|
| Can I have the "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" item I will earn with this order shipped to me with this order?
|
TOP |
|
|
No. The "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" item is a bonus with your NEXT order only. It's our way of rewarding you for coming back to order with us again.
|
|
|
| I placed an order before December 2000. Did earn a "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" item for that order?
|
TOP |
|
|
No. The "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" program started in January 2001. We are not able to offer a "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" item for orders that were placed before then.
|
|
|
| I am sure that I have placed an order before, but I have no idea what my tracking number was to use it for getting my "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" item. What should I do?

We are working on automated scripts which will be able to look up your number and send it to you automatically by e-mail. Until this function is up and running, please
click here to e-mail us; we will look up your number manually and send it to you.

Generally, the outfits in the "BONUS-WITH-NEXT" galleries are available up to the equivalent of size XL. If you wear a larger size, we may be able to accommodate you. In 70% of the cases this is possible, but it depends on the item design. Please
e-mail us for more information.

The Best Sellers are the absolutely best-selling items from our site-across all categories-from the last month. We're able to offer you reduced prices on these most popular items. Because they are in such high demand, we keep an extra-large inventory of these outfits. We buy the materials for them in bulk-and we pass the savings on to you. We can even ship them a little more quickly than other merchandise. They're an ideal choice for retailers, as they are...
- proven best sellers
- guaranteed to be in stock
- a great bargain
|
|
|
|
|
These are the twenty items in each category which were ordered most often in the last month. Since they are so popular, we can purchase the materials for them in bulk and keep extra stock on hand. The economy of scale means they cost us less, and we pass the savings on to you!
Order from the Top 20 when…
- you see something there that you like
- you want to order stock for resale that will be especially popular with your customers
- you want to get something you know is the most fashionable and attractive of the new designs
- you want an excellent bargain for your fashion dollar

We have learned that some of our clients have particularly busy lives-they're in a big hurry, with no time to wait. They need their merchandise to be delivered on very short notice. So, for our customers in a hurry, we keep batches of some of our more enduring and popular items in stock, ready to be custom-fitted to your measurements, available for lightning-fast processing.
Ready-Made Shop items can be ready to ship 48 to 72 hours after we receive your order!
|
|
|
| If I select an item from the Ready-Made Shop, can I have it fitted to my own measurements?
|
TOP |
|
|
Yes. These items are not already finished, but rather are waiting for your specifications to be stitched. We stock the materials in bulk, not the finished products.
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the Discount Counter, you get the latest products for at least 20% off regular prices with extra-fast delivery. These are items which we were able to negotiate special prices for from the manufacturers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Every week, we negotiate particularly good bulk deals for a few outfits and sarees, and we collect the very best deals we get in this section. These items cost just 50% of their regular prices.
|
|
|
| Why do Best Sellers, Top 20 of the Month, Ready-Made Shop, Discount Counter, and 50% Off Sale items cost less than other items?
|
TOP |
|
|
This has to do with "the economy of scale". If you are in business, you are probably familiar with this idea. A brief explanation is that with most things, if you produce a lot of them, each item costs less to make than if you produce only a few. We buy and process the materials for our
Best Sellers,
Top 20 of the
Month, Ready-Made Shop,
Discount
Counter, and 50% Off Sale items in bulk, which saves us money. And, as one of the largest companies in this business, we are able to use our market position to negotiate better deals with some manufacturers and mills. We pass our savings on to you.

Come to the Designer's Choice section when you want the very latest fashions. You give us a minimum description of the merchandise you want: you select base colors and pattern types. Our expert designers will fill your order with merchandise that has just arrived on the market that matches your description.
This program is ideal for a retailer who wants to place a bulk order, because the more you buy, the more you save-but it's also perfect for the individual who wants to be surprised and delighted with five or six beautiful new outfits.
|
|
|
|
|
- You'll always get the latest designs and patterns.
- Save up to 30%-40% off the prices in the regular shop.
- The more you buy, the less you pay.
- Priyanka's guarantee is included.
- Ordering is easier than ever.
- Place your order online and track your order progress online.
- Shipping in 3 days (if stitched blouses are not included with sarees).

This section is not a new concept, although previously it was only available for our existing clients through a password-protected site. But, for a long time, we have been looking for a way to make our merchandise available at wholesale prices to all our clients on the web. We surveyed our customers, and, using the survey results, designed this section to meet our customers' needs, and opened it to everyone.
Thousands of designer fabrics are introduced every month in India. (Most of our sarees and outfits are made with these up-to-the-minute-fashion fabrics.) We supply finished merchandise to retail shops in India, and these shops are always busy with a high rate of inventory turnover. Such shops account for about 70% of our business. With such a whirlwind of change, it is not possible to update our website as quickly as our inventory evolves, so the site does not show everything we have available. To include a particular item on the site requires photography and modeling of the item, writing a detailed description, designing the item's entry, and then incorporating that entry into the site. This can take a week or two to accomplish-and by that time, hundreds more new designs have arrived on the market and hundreds of older designs have fallen by the wayside!
But we want you to have access to our freshest looks as soon as we get them. A woman in the U.S. should not have to wait months for fashions already available in India. We make them available to you the moment they arrive in our warehouses-sometimes even before they are available in the Indian shops-and at wholesale prices.
A majority of our clients are more than satisfied when they make purchases in this way. We have found that consumers are more concerned with base colors and overall designs than with the precise details of a fabric's print. 95% of customers are looking not for one specific, particular item, but instead for something like "a pink floral-print saree" or "a blue saree with geometric designs". This section satisfies such customers, at a much lower price than they could find in any department store.

Anyone who wants the latest fashions at the best prices and is willing to trust Priyanka's expert designers to choose for them. Resellers, shopkeepers, retailers are among the best customers for this section, since they know they can order this way and fill their stores with beautiful fashions that their customers will line up to buy!

This is the perfect way for individuals to create or enhance a wardrobe for themselves, or for retailers to fill out their stock for their stores.

You choose a given number of items from our special Package Galleries (anywhere from 2 to 25), and we send your choices to you at a discounted rate. You can find these offers at the Priyanka's sites
