Indian sweets sold in the UK have usually come by sea and sat for months. Mithai made to order in India and flown out the same week is a different product, and you can taste which one you have.
How it reaches the UK
Made to order in India, handed to DHL Express and flown out the same day. Delivery to the UK takes 2 to 3 business days, door to door, across London, Leicester, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow. Every customs charge is prepaid, so nothing is owed on arrival.
The dairy rule, which matters here
UK customs restricts dairy-based sweets coming from outside the EU, so ghee and khoya mithai is limited. Dairy-free namkeen, dry-fruit sweets, chikki, pickles and spices all pass without issue. We flag this at checkout rather than letting you discover it at the border, which is the single most common way an order from India goes wrong for a UK household.
How long it keeps
Milk sweets one to two weeks. Ghee laddus two to three. Dry-fruit sweets and chikki a month or more. Namkeen three to four weeks from frying. Pickles three to six months. Delivery sits comfortably inside all of it.
What it costs
Expect $17 to $40 for a proper 250g to 500g box. Minimum order is $100, and over $100 shipping is free with duties covered, which is why most families order six or eight things together rather than one box.
