Why sisters in India choose Desify to send Rakhi abroad
Every year, sisters across Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, Pune, and Hyderabad send Rakhi to brothers settled in the UK. The old options were slow India Post parcels that missed Rakhi day, or overpriced local sweet shops abroad that never tasted like home. Desify was built to fix both. We ship real Indian sweets, mithai, and dry-fruit gifting from India to the UK in 4 to 6 business days via DHL Express, with every customs charge cleared before dispatch.
- 4 to 6 business days door delivery via DHL Express from Hyderabad
- Zero customs at his door. Every UK order ships DDP with Brexit-era VAT and import duty pre-paid at Desify checkout. Dairy-heavy items like ghee and pure-milk halwa are restricted under UK import rules and are automatically flagged in the cart so you can swap them for a compliant sweet.
- Free Rakhi included. Choose 1 by default, up to 3 selectable at checkout
- Pay from India. Any Indian debit or credit card in INR, or international card in USD
- Premium Care reship if the box is damaged or arrives after Rakhi day
