Chennai to your doorstep

Ordering from outside India

A large share of our hampers travel — to families hosting an Upanayanam in New Jersey, a Varalakshmi vratham in London, a baby shower in Sydney. Here's exactly how it works, with no surprises.

Where we ship regularly

These are the destinations we handle most often — but if your country isn't listed, ask. We've almost certainly shipped there.

How pricing works

Shipping is quoted on chargeable weight

International couriers charge on whichever is higher: the actual weight of your parcel (dead weight), or its volumetric weight — the space it occupies. Brass is heavy; hamper boxes are bulky. Which one wins genuinely depends on your combination.

So we quote shipping after your order is packed and the final carton is weighed and measured. It is the only honest way to do it — an estimate given before packing would be a guess, and usually a wrong one.

Prices are shown in ₹ — payment currency is up to you

Every price on this site is in Indian rupees, matching our catalog. For international orders we don't apply an automatic conversion, because a stale exchange rate on a bulk order can be badly misleading.

Instead, tell us on WhatsApp which currency and payment method suit you and we'll agree it directly — including the rate we're using, before anything is paid. A 50% advance confirms the order, and the balance is settled before dispatch.

Plan for the journey, not just the making

Custom designs need about 25 days' notice before we even begin, and international transit adds to that. If your ceremony has a fixed date, message us as early as you can — we'll tell you plainly whether it can be done well in the time available.

Many families ship to a relative in India first, or time the order with someone travelling. We're happy to work either way.

Please film the unboxing

Brass and glass travel a long way to reach you. If anything arrives damaged, report it within 24 hours of delivery with opening photographs and a video. The opening video is required for us to raise a claim with the courier — without it we have no way to prove the damage happened in transit, and neither do they.

Questions about your country, timelines or payment? Just ask — we answer honestly, even when the answer is “not in that timeframe”.
