Orders are placed online through our website. For custom requests or bulk enquiries, email hello@rkggheestories.in or call 04257-221400.
Products & freshness
›Are your sweets fresh?
Yes - every box is hand-packed the morning of dispatch. We don't stockpile finished sweets; a box you order is made fresh for you and shipped the same or next business day.
›How long do the sweets last?
Most items keep well for 15 days in a cool, dry place. Individual shelf lives are printed on every product's label. Best to consume within the first week for peak freshness.
›Do you use preservatives or artificial colours?
No. Every combo lists its ingredients in full - you can read them on any combo detail modal on the home page. What you see is what's in the box.
›Are the sweets vegetarian?
Yes. Everything we sell is vegetarian and made in a vegetarian-only kitchen. Every product on the site is labelled clearly.
›Do you have vegan or gluten-free options?
Most items contain milk (ghee, khoya) and some contain wheat (murukku, thattai). Every combo's ingredients list every allergen on the site - check the combo detail modal before ordering.
›Where does your ghee come from?
From our own farms in the Kongu belt of Tamil Nadu. Both variants - cow ghee and buffalo ghee - are on the home page.
Shipping & delivery
›How quickly do you dispatch?
Orders paid before 2pm IST ship the same day (shipments go out around 6pm); orders after 2pm ship the next business day. Our courier partners don't operate on Sundays or public holidays, so orders placed then ship on the next business day.
›How long does delivery take?
Almost every order is delivered 1–4 days after it ships, across Tamil Nadu and Bangalore Urban. The delivery charge for your pincode is shown when you check it.
›How much does shipping cost?
Flat ₹150 on orders under ₹999, and FREE delivery on orders ₹999+.

Yes - you'll get a tracking link via email once your order dispatches. You can also see all your orders under "My Orders" once signed in.

Yes - any time before dispatch. Email us at support@rkggheestories.in with your order number. Once dispatched, an order can't be recalled; you'd need to refuse delivery.
