Indian sarees and suits delivered to the UK, from a Connaught Place shop

The Indian community in Britain has carried cloth home from Delhi for as long as there have been flights. If you would rather not wait for a relative’s suitcase, you can now order the same sarees and suits to a UK address directly. Here is how it works, from a family shop in Connaught Place.

Ordering from the UK

You buy exactly as anyone in India does: choose the piece, enter a UK delivery address at checkout, and pay online. The shop is the same one our family has run since 1947, so what arrives is cloth a person has actually checked, not a marketplace mystery.

Cost and time

Delivery to the United Kingdom is a flat ₹2,500 by tracked courier, and most parcels arrive in about seven to twelve working days. Prices are charged in Indian Rupees; your bank converts to pounds at its own rate on the day. Large orders ship free worldwide over the threshold on our shipping page.

Customs after the parcel lands

Parcels arriving in the UK from outside the country can attract import VAT, and customs duty can apply above a certain value. This is collected by the courier from the person receiving the parcel before delivery, not by us. The rules change from time to time, so it is worth checking the current UK guidance if you are ordering something substantial. We declare every parcel honestly, which is what keeps it moving.

Gifting to family back home

A saree is one of the few gifts that fits everyone, because it has no size. If you are sending one to a mother or sister in the UK, the unstitched blouse piece that comes with most sarees lets her tailor finish it to her own measurements. Tell us at checkout if it is a gift and we will pack it accordingly.

A shop you can ring

The reassurance of buying from a counter rather than an app is simple: you can telephone it. The shop answers on +91 11 2374 5755 during Delhi hours, 10:30 am to 7:30 pm, every day. See where we are, or begin with the saree shelf. If you want to understand the cloth first, read the guide to saree types.
