What is Minimum Qty I can Order? - AlphonsoMango.in

The minimum order quantity for Alphonso mangoes at AlphonsoMango.in is one dozen. Our Ratnagiri and Devgad Alphonso pages list one, two and five dozen options, priced from Rs 1,849 per dozen, graded by fruit weight and sent by Blue Dart across India.

Minimum order quantity: one dozen Alphonso mangoes

The smallest box of Alphonso you can order from us is one dozen, twelve mangoes. That is how the Ratnagiri Alphonso Mango and Devgad Alphonso Mango pages are set up: you pick a fruit-weight grade, then one or two dozen. Our Alphonso mango order-online page also lists a five-dozen option for larger households and offices.

Minimum quantity one dozen Alphonso mangoes from AlphonsoMango.in

We are Powle Home Foods, Mumbai, and we run AlphonsoMango.in. We have sold mangoes since 2019, online since 2020, and have served 47,000+ customers, including offline and marketplace sales. Our Alphonso comes from across 55 villages of the Ratnagiri and Devgad belt on the Konkan coast, and we hold GI Authorised User certificate AU/5974/GI/139/260 (GI No. 139).

Why a dozen and not a single mango? Alphonso is a delicate fruit that travels by courier. A dozen fills a box so the fruit does not roll, and it keeps the courier charge sensible against the price of the fruit. A dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade. For what the box itself looks like, see how many mangoes come in the box.

Minimum quantities for Kesar, Pairi and pulp

Not every mango we list starts at a dozen. The table below shows the smallest option on each product page as it stands; prices are "from" prices and change with grade, so check the product page for today's price.

Smallest order option by product
Product Smallest option listed Price from When sold
Ratnagiri or Devgad Alphonso 1 dozen Rs 1,849 per dozen In season (February to June)
Kesar mango Half dozen Rs 999 (dozen Rs 1,699) In season
Pairi mango 1 dozen Rs 2,799 In season
Alphonso mango pulp tin One 850 g tin Rs 590 (3.1 kg tin also listed) All year

So if you want to try Alphonso flavour without committing to a dozen fresh fruit, the pulp tin is the smallest unit we sell, and it is the only Alphonso product available outside the season. We also list Dasheri, Totapuri, Salem and Malgova on their own product pages in our mango collection.

Grades: the dozen stays the same, the fruit size changes

Alphonso fruits generally weigh 150 to 300 g. Our dozen boxes are graded by fruit weight, and the product page shows each band, from about 150 to 180 g per fruit at the lower end up to 275 to 300 g at the top. The count is always twelve; the weight of the box and the price go up with the grade.

  • Smaller grades: good for daily eating and for aamras, where you want more fruit for the money.
  • Middle grades: the usual choice for a family box.
  • Larger grades: the ones most people pick for gifting, because each fruit looks generous on a plate.

Whatever the grade, the pulp is the same variety: Alphonso pulp is described as rich, creamy and non-fibrous. If you are choosing between a small dozen and a large dozen on a budget, the small grade gives the same taste in more, smaller pieces.

Ratnagiri is a district on the Konkan coast; Devgad is a taluka in neighbouring Sindhudurg district. Both grow the same variety and both fall under GI No. 139, so the minimum quantity, the grades and the starting price are the same on both pages. We do not rank one above the other; our Ratnagiri and Devgad Hapus guide explains the difference in place without picking a winner.

How many dozen do you need?

A rough rule: count the people who will eat a mango a day, and divide twelve by that number to get the days a box lasts. A household of four eating one each finishes a dozen in three days, which is about the time the last firm fruit takes to ripen, so one dozen every few days suits most families during the season. Two dozen suits a household that also makes aamras or has guests.

Harvest to ripening of Alphonso takes about 15 days, so a box usually arrives with some fruit ready and some still firm. That spread is useful: the firm ones ripen over the next few days while you eat the soft ones. Our guide on ripening Alphonso at home shows how to pace it.

For larger quantities, such as offices, building societies, restaurants and hotels, there is no fixed upper limit on the site; order multiple dozens, or write to us at support@alphonsomango.in with your quantity, cities and dates and we will tell you plainly what we can do. Our corporate gifting guide covers gift orders to many addresses.

Delivery, damage and the season

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. We do not promise a delivery day for any named city. Open the box on the day it arrives, and if anything is damaged, report it within 24 hours of delivery by writing to support@alphonsomango.in or calling 8369048029. Charges by destination are in our shipping charges guide.

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, and our fruit is hand-harvested with a zela pole fitted with a catching net.

Alphonso is harvested about February to June, with the best supply from March to May. The 2027 season opens on 1 February 2027. Outside the season we do not sell fresh Alphonso; the pulp tin is the product to order in those months. Season dates are explained in our Alphonso mango season guide.

What is the minimum quantity of Alphonso mangoes I can order?

One dozen. Our Ratnagiri and Devgad Alphonso pages list one and two dozen boxes, and the order-online page adds a five-dozen option, all graded by fruit weight and priced from Rs 1,849 per dozen. Kesar is listed from a half dozen, and the Alphonso pulp tin is sold singly all year.

Can I order half a dozen Alphonso mangoes?

Not at present. The smallest Alphonso option on our product pages is one dozen. Kesar mango is listed as a half dozen from Rs 999. If you want a smaller taste of Alphonso, the 850 g Alphonso pulp tin from Rs 590 is the smallest unit we sell, and it is available outside the season too.

How much does a dozen Alphonso mangoes weigh?

A dozen weighs roughly 1.8 to 3.3 kg depending on grade. Alphonso fruits generally weigh 150 to 300 g, and our boxes are graded by fruit weight, so a dozen of the smallest grade is lighter and cheaper than a dozen of the largest. The product page shows each weight band and its price.

Is there a minimum order for bulk or corporate Alphonso orders?

There is no separate minimum on the site; you order in multiples of a dozen. For offices, restaurants, hotels or gifts to many addresses, write to us at support@alphonsomango.in with the quantity, cities and dates, and we will confirm in writing what is possible for those PIN codes.
