subject: Tips & Tricks For Sending Rakhi To India On Time A Guide For Nri Online Shoppers [print this page] If you have ever tried sending Rakhi to India through friends and relatives, you might empathize with the pain and helplessness of sister who finds that the Rakhis and gifts that they made or chose so lovingly for her brother and his family never reached him. Invariably, the brothers complain of not receiving the Rakhi on time because of postal delays or because the friend or relative going to India forgot to drop it on time.
Besides, Rakhis are virtually unknown in the western world, except of course in the Indian community. Even if you find one, it looks so much like a fashion accessory than the ethnic silk and gems Rakhi we know of.
Sending Rakhi to India for your brother requires you to shirk off the effects of a prolonged stay in another country. India-based online shopping sites like Gujaratgifts.com are a good resource to brush off your memory and have a re-look at traditional Indian choices.
Bhaiya-and-bhabhi pair rakhi and Mauli rakhi are simply lovable. Whether you are sending Rakhi to India online or offline, they have a timeless appeal that is always appreciated. Couple up your Rakhis to India with Rakhi gifts for your brothers family for the lasting impression. Dolls and toys for your nephews and nieces, salwar suits or sarees for your bhabhi, and a customised pillow with your and his childhood photographs and perhaps a naughty comment for your brother will make your Rakhi hampers a hit in the family.
To make sure that Rakhi you buy online does reach your brother in time, choose a gift portal that has been around for five years or more and has a good track record of delivering gifts on time. Even though, Internet is a veritable ancient facility in the West, it is still a bubbly irresponsible teenager in India. You need to keep a strict eye over which web portal is responsible and honest and which one is out there to nick your cash and personal information.
You may also want to check out the delivery related details of the portal. Some such websites skimp on the logistics end, as it is not very visible. However, poor quality of logistics translates into missed deliveries! Do spend the time to see which portals offer quality services for the last mile delivery.
In short, be on constant vigilance when you send Rakhi to India by the following tips:
Choosing only an established portal with a multi-year experience of Rakhi Gifting
Checking Privacy and other policies
Seeing Customer Testimonials
Evaluating Logistics details
Seeing if Netbanking is available (if you are uncomfortable sharing credit card details online)
