By Prashant Powle • 6 minute read

To place a mango online order, pick Ratnagiri or Devgad Alphonso on AlphonsoMango.in, choose a dozen option, add it to the cart and enter your PIN code at checkout. Alphonso starts from Rs 1,849 per dozen, and we dispatch by Blue Dart.

For what is available now, see Ratnagiri Alphonso mango boxes.

Before you place a mango online order

Most order mistakes happen before the cart, not in it. Spend two minutes on four decisions, and the order itself is quick.

Pick the mango. Alphonso (Hapus) is our main fruit: Ratnagiri Alphonso boxes or Devgad Alphonso Mango.
Pick the grade. Each dozen option is a different size of fruit, so a bigger grade means bigger, heavier mangoes and a higher price.
Pick the quantity. A dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade. That is a lot of fruit for one or two people.
Check the season. Fresh Alphonso is harvested about February to June, with the best supply from March to May. The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027.

Other mangoes are on the mango collection: Kesar mango boxes (half-dozen Rs 999, dozen Rs 1,699) and Pairi Mango (from Rs 2,799 per dozen). Prices change with grade, so check the product page for the current price.

Ratnagiri or Devgad: what you are choosing between

Ratnagiri is a district on the Konkan coast. Devgad is a taluka in neighbouring Sindhudurg district. Both grow Alphonso, the same variety, under the same GI. We source across 55 villages of the belt and we do not rank one origin above the other. If the two names confuse you, our Ratnagiri and Devgad Hapus guide explains them. The practical difference for your order is only the product page you pick and the grades listed on it.

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). Alphonso takes its name from Afonso de Albuquerque, and the fruit generally weighs 150 to 300 g, with non-fibrous pulp. If you want the background, see what Alphonso mango is.

How the order works, step by step

Open the product page and choose the dozen option.
Add to cart and open the cart to check the quantity.
Enter your address and PIN code at checkout. The checkout shows the delivery message that applies to your PIN code and the shipping charge.
Confirm the order. Check the address and PIN code on the confirmation. If something looks wrong, write to support@alphonsomango.in or call 8369048029 straight away.
Receive the box. We dispatch by Blue Dart, and about 65% of Indian PIN codes get next-day delivery. Orders received before 1 PM are dispatched the same day. Check your PIN code at checkout.

Our guide to ordering Alphonso mangoes online covers the same steps in more detail, and the track order page helps once the parcel is on its way. We do not promise a delivery day for any named city; the PIN code message at checkout is the only timing we stand behind.

Ordering for gifts, offices and larger quantities

If you order for someone else, enter their address and PIN code, and tell them the box is coming. Fruit is perishable, so the recipient should be home on a working day. Our gifting page lists the options for personal and corporate gifts. We also supply restaurants and hotels in general terms; for a large quantity or a repeat order, write to us with the quantity and the dates before you order.

Shipping charges are shown at checkout and depend on the order. Our shipping charges guide explains how they are worked out. If you are thinking about the minimum you can order, see minimum order quantity.

When the box arrives: ripening and damage

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. Harvest to ripening of Alphonso takes about 15 days, so a few mangoes may still be firm when the box arrives.

Open the box on arrival and lay the fruit in a single layer at room temperature.
Check daily; a sweet smell at the stalk and a slight give at the shoulder mean ripe.
Do not refrigerate firm fruit. Chill ripe fruit for a day or two if you cannot finish it.
If anything is damaged, report it within 24 hours of delivery to support@alphonsomango.in or 8369048029.

Common mistakes when ordering mangoes online

Ordering for a day, not for a week. Alphonso ripens over several days after it arrives. If you need ripe fruit for a particular lunch, order early and count the days to soften.
Entering a wrong PIN code. The delivery message depends on it. A wrong digit can show the wrong message or fail the delivery.
No one at home. A perishable parcel left at a closed door suffers in summer heat. Give an address with a person present.
Chilling firm fruit. Cold stops ripening and flattens the aroma. Keep firm mangoes at room temperature.
Buying the largest grade by default. Larger fruit looks impressive, but if the mangoes will be pulped for aamras, a smaller grade serves just as well.

Whatever platform you use, ask the same questions of any seller: where the fruit was grown, how it was ripened, how it will travel and whom to contact if something goes wrong. The answers should be on the page, not hidden.

If you order outside the season

Fresh Alphonso is not sold outside the season. The mango product pages show as unavailable until stock arrives, and the 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. In the meantime ready-to-use Alphonso pulp (850 g and 3.1 kg, from Rs 590) can be ordered all year, and Alphonso Mango Cubes too. Both suit aamras, milkshakes and desserts; our aamras recipe is a good first use.
