- What is the motivation behind Rasik.com ?
Rasik.com is the world's first online store for selling Marathi
books exclusively, serving primarily Marathi Rasiks spread out
all over the world outside India. Everyone is aware of the boom in
electronic commerce and how easy it has made shopping for
customers. Numerous times we wish sitting in an alien country,
if we could have access to literature of our home. Rasik.com
is the first serious and professional attempt to bridge that
gap. We at Rasik.com aim to keep you abreast with the very
latest literature as well as the old classics you grew up with
but no longer have access to it.
- What are the kind of books available ?
Currently, we have books in Marathi language. We have
thousands of books in our database. Even if a book is not in
our database, you can simply inform us about
marathi book and
author information. If the book is in print and available, we
will add it to our database and inform you.
Please note that the availability of Marathi books is quite dynamic.
We do not carry any inventory and depend on Market availability of the titles in our database.
if you are placing your order for a specific book (and are adding other books to the shipping cart
to meet our minimum $ amout requirement), please place your order and then alert us ASAP
(orders@rasik.com) as such. Then we can make sure that the specific title is available before
filling the full order and shipping it. Please rest assured that your money will be fully refunded.
We also feature selected English books related to India or by Indian authors.
This is in association with Amazon.com.

After payment process is successfully completed, you will soon receive "Order Conformation" email from us.

Usually it takes a few days to fill the order. It may take a bit longer if some books in your order
are "hard to find" or OutOfPrint. We go to great length to locate books in your order by contacting many
bookshops and the publisher of the book if needed.
Depending on # of items in the order, shipment may be made in one or more packages. "Standard" shipment
is via Air-Mail, Registered-Parcel (takes ~2 weeks in transit) and "Express" shipment is via EMS SpeedPost for small package
or FedEx for large package (takes 5-7 days in transit).

Parcel-post and SpeedPost shipment tracking
and entering it in [Consignment Number] box for standard/express shipment mode. If our email says that it was shipped via FedEx then please use

update will result in an email from us directing you to this FAQ info. Please also note that any delays in transit
are BEYOND OUR CONTROL. It has been noticed that delays occur during Diwali season in India as well as when Customs
Dept. of each country randomly impounds some shipments for "security checks" when high security alerts are ON
in that country.
