Ordering for Baner, step by step
- Open the Ratnagiri or Devgad Alphonso page.
- Enter the PIN code for your Baner address in the serviceability check.
- If it is served, choose a grade and a quantity.
- Write the address in full: society or building, wing, floor, landmark and a mobile number that will be answered.
- Pay online. We take prepaid payments only: UPI, card, net banking or wallet.
- Keep the tracking link that arrives by email and WhatsApp.
I am deliberately not quoting a PIN code or a delivery time for Baner here. Serviceability is decided by the courier, per PIN code, and changes. The product page checker is the source of truth. About 14,000 PIN codes are not served for fresh fruit today.
Prices for a Baner order
There is no Pune surcharge. Delivery is free to serviceable PIN codes, with no minimum order and no packing or handling charge. 2026 prices for a dozen: small (150–180 g) ₹1,849, medium (180–220 g) ₹2,099, large (225–250 g) ₹2,499, extra large (250–275 g) ₹2,699, jumbo (275–300 g) ₹2,999. Two dozen run ₹3,499 to ₹5,399. The 2027 season is listed to start on 1 February 2027; no 2027 prices are announced.
For a typical flat in Baner, a medium dozen is the sensible default. If you mostly make aamras, small saves ₹250. Pulp, ₹590 for 850 g, also goes to every PIN code.
Receiving a box in an apartment complex
Most Baner homes are in gated societies, and that is where deliveries go wrong. The courier calls from the gate, nobody answers, and the box waits at the security desk in the sun. Some practical steps:
- Tell the gate or society office that a courier box is coming, and give the tracking link to the person who will accept it.
- Put the flat number and the society's gate instructions in the address notes.
- Check the box when it is handed over. Open it that day.
- Do not leave a mango box in a hot car or an unventilated parcel room.
If the box is crushed or leaking, photograph it before you touch anything and send the photos with your order number to WhatsApp +91 70830 75556 within 24 hours.
Ripening in Pune's weather
Fruit arrives semi-ripe and finishes ripening at home in about two to four days, faster in hot weather. In the warm months, keep the box in a cool, ventilated room, out of direct sun and away from the fridge. Spread the mangoes in a single layer and check daily. Press gently near the stalk: a sweet smell and slight give mean the fruit is ready; then refrigerate ripe fruit to buy time. See our ripening guide.
What I cannot promise for Baner
I cannot promise a transit time, because I do not publish one per locality; the tracking link will show the courier's progress. I cannot promise delivery to a PIN code the checker rejects. And I cannot promise that fruit will taste identical in every box: Alphonso varies by orchard and week, and a claim covers damage, wrong or missing items, not ordinary ripeness variation.
How an order reaches you
Fruit is harvested to order, packed against the order and shipped semi-ripe. Orders before 1:00 PM IST, Monday to Saturday, dispatch the same day. A delivery can be postponed up to 2 days before dispatch. Approved claims get a replacement or refund within 2 business days, and refunds reach your account within 7 business days. See the shipping policy and return policy.
Ripening and the carbide question
Calcium carbide is prohibited for ripening fruit in India under Regulation 2.3.5 of the FSS (Prohibition and Restrictions on Sales) Regulations, 2011. It releases acetylene and can carry arsenic and phosphorus impurities. FSSAI permits controlled ethylene ripening up to 100 ppm; see fssai.gov.in. The street name is "masala"; white or grey calcium hydroxide powder in a box is a warning sign.
We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally (on hay beds, as our FAQ states). The float test is a rough clue only; a laboratory test is the only proof.
