How Alphonso mango home delivery works
We are Powle Home Foods in Mumbai, and we run AlphonsoMango.in. Home delivery is the only way we sell fresh Alphonso: there is no shop to walk into, so every order travels as a courier parcel from us to your address. I want you to know what happens between the click and the doorbell, because a perishable fruit rewards a little preparation.
- Choose the fruit. Pick Ratnagiri Alphonso Mango or Devgad Alphonso Mango and the dozen size you want. Both start from Rs 1,849 per dozen.
- Enter your PIN code. Checkout tells you whether we can reach it and shows the delivery message that applies. That message is the timing we stand behind.
- Pay and wait for dispatch. Your box leaves with Blue Dart.
- Receive and unpack. Open it on arrival, lay the fruit out, and follow the ripening notes below.
We dispatch by Blue Dart, and about 65% of Indian PIN codes get next-day delivery. Check your PIN code at checkout. We do not promise a delivery day for a named city, because it depends on the route.
What arrives at your door
Alphonso, called Hapus in Maharashtra, is a small saffron-fleshed mango, generally 150 to 300 g a fruit, with soft non-fibrous pulp. We source across 55 villages of the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt on the Konkan coast. Alphonso from this belt is GI-tagged in India under GI No. 139, and we hold GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139).
A dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade, so a larger grade means fewer, bigger fruit per dozen. Ratnagiri is a district; Devgad is a taluka in Sindhudurg district. Both grow the same variety, and we do not rank one above the other. Our guide to Ratnagiri and Devgad Hapus explains the two names.
| Product | Sold as | Starting price |
|---|---|---|
| Ratnagiri Alphonso | Dozen, several grades | from Rs 1,849 per dozen |
| Devgad Alphonso | Dozen, several grades | from Rs 1,849 per dozen |
| Kesar | Half-dozen or dozen | Rs 999 and Rs 1,699 |
| Alphonso pulp tin | 850 g and 3.1 kg tins | from Rs 590 |
Prices vary with grade, so check the product page for the current price. The full list sits on the mango collection.
Season, and what to order when it is closed
Alphonso is harvested about February to June, with the best supply from March to May. The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. Fresh Alphonso is not sold outside the season. Fruit is hand-harvested before dawn with a zela pole fitted with a catching net, which keeps it from hitting the ground, and then ripened for about 15 days before it reaches you.
Outside the season the Alphonso pulp tin is available all year, and so are freeze-dried Alphonso cubes. If you are ordering for a festival, a wedding or a gift, order early in the season rather than in the last weeks, when supply thins and we stop when the fruit stops. Our note on the Alphonso mango season has the month-by-month picture.
Receiving and ripening the box
We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally on hay beds. Calcium carbide is prohibited for ripening fruit in India under Regulation 2.3.5 of the Food Safety and Standards (Prohibition and Restrictions on Sales) Regulations, 2011. We are an FSSAI-licensed seller. Because ripening takes about 15 days from harvest, a box can arrive with some fruit still firm; that is normal and gives you a spread of days.
- Be there, or leave an instruction. Give an address where someone can receive a perishable parcel on a working day.
- Open it on arrival. Take out the fruit and lay it in one layer at room temperature, away from sun and the air-conditioner vent.
- Check every morning. A sweet smell at the stalk and a slight give at the shoulder mean ripe.
- Do not refrigerate firm fruit. Cold stops ripening. Chill only soft, ripe mangoes you cannot finish.
- Report damage within 24 hours of delivery to support@alphonsomango.in or 8369048029.

Delivery charges and what to check before you pay
Shipping is shown at checkout once your PIN code is entered, and our shipping charges guide explains how it is worked out. Read the total before you pay; do not rely on a figure quoted elsewhere. For timing questions, delivery period for mangoes goes into more detail.
Questions to ask any seller, including us: where is the fruit from, how is it ripened, who delivers it, and who do I contact if something is wrong. Our answers are the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt, hay beds with no carbide, Blue Dart, and the support details above. For the wider ordering picture, see our mango delivery guide and online mangoes delivery in India.
Home delivery or a shop: which suits you
Many buyers search for a shop nearby and then find home delivery easier. Compare the two honestly before you decide.
- Choice of grade. Online, you choose the grade and dozen size on the product page and can compare Ratnagiri and Devgad side by side. In a shop you choose from whatever is on the table that day.
- Handling. A courier parcel is handled by several people on the way. A shop box may have travelled too, but you cannot see how. In both cases, open and inspect on arrival.
- Information. You can read the source, the certificate number and the support contact before paying. Ask any shop the same questions.
- Gifts. Delivery to a relative in another city is simple: enter their address and PIN code. Add a note for them to expect a parcel and to unpack it promptly.
Home delivery does not suit everyone. If nobody is home on working days, a missed parcel is a problem for fruit, so use an office or a neighbour you trust. Ask us before you order if your address is unusual, and write to support@alphonsomango.in. Our how to order Alphonso mangoes online guide walks through checkout step by step.
