Our Alphonso box price includes delivery. Delivery is free to serviceable PIN codes, with no minimum order and no packing, handling or weight charge, so a 2026 dozen costs ₹1,849 to ₹2,999 and two dozen ₹3,499 to ₹5,399, and that is what you pay. Payment is prepaid only. No 2027 prices are announced.
For what is available now, see Ratnagiri Hapus price list.

The question behind the question
When someone asks "what is the box price including delivery", they have usually been caught once. A listing said ₹1,900, the checkout said ₹2,350, and the difference was a delivery fee, a packing fee and a "handling" line. So the useful answer is not just a number but a way of reading totals.
Here is our number first, then the method.
The delivered price list
| Pack | Weight each | Listed price | Delivery | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small, 1 dozen | 150–180 g | ₹1,849 | Free | ₹1,849 |
| Medium, 1 dozen | 180–220 g | ₹2,099 | Free | ₹2,099 |
| Large, 1 dozen | 225–250 g | ₹2,499 | Free | ₹2,499 |
| Extra large, 1 dozen | 250–275 g | ₹2,699 | Free | ₹2,699 |
| Jumbo, 1 dozen | 275–300 g | ₹2,999 | Free | ₹2,999 |
| Small, 2 dozen | 150–180 g | ₹3,499 | Free | ₹3,499 |
| Medium, 2 dozen | 180–220 g | ₹3,999 | Free | ₹3,999 |
Larger two-dozen boxes: ₹4,699 (large; Devgad ₹4,749), ₹4,999 (extra large) and ₹5,399 (jumbo; Devgad ₹5,499). Gift boxes start from ₹2,249; Alphonso pulp is ₹590 (850 g) and ₹2,100 (3.1 kg). Prices are for Ratnagiri and Devgad Alphonso, 2026 season. The 2027 season is listed to start on 1 February 2027.
What "free delivery" does and does not cover
It covers: courier transport to a serviceable PIN code, packing, and handling. It applies to every order, with no minimum value.
It does not cover: delivery to a PIN code that is not served (we cannot ship fresh fruit there at any price; about 14,000 PINs are not served today), a second delivery attempt you cause by being unavailable, or anything you choose to add. I would rather be explicit than let the word "free" imply things it does not.
Tax: whether tax appears as a separate line at checkout depends on the store's checkout display. Read the checkout total, not my summary, and ask the team if a line is unclear.
How to read any seller's checkout total
- Put the product price on one line.
- Add shipping or delivery.
- Add packing, handling, "cold chain", insurance or weight charges.
- Add payment fees, including cash-on-delivery charges.
- Add taxes if shown separately.
- Divide by the number of mangoes.
Do this for every seller you consider on the same day. Then compare the final figure. More on this: landed cost per dozen.
Costs that sit outside the box price
- Wastage. Not every mango is eaten. Plan quantity by week.
- Storage. A ripe mango spoils fast; a fridge helps but does not stop the clock.
- Gift extras. Cards, wrapping and multiple addresses each add effort.
None of these shows on a price tag, but all are part of what a box really costs you.
How an order reaches you
Fruit is harvested to order, packed against the order and shipped semi-ripe by BlueDart. Orders before 1:00 PM IST, Monday to Saturday, dispatch the same day. Tracking comes by email and WhatsApp. A delivery can be postponed up to 2 days before dispatch. If a box arrives damaged, send photos and your order number within 24 hours; approved claims get a replacement or refund, processed within 2 business days of approval, with refunds reaching you 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.
