Key takeaways
- For same-day delivery, use quick-commerce apps or same-day gifting portals.
- If it can arrive in a few days, Raajkosh dispatches in 24 to 48 hours and delivers 2 to 7 days after.
- Ship straight to the recipient with a gift note and packaging.
- Pieces from Rs 249 (Heart Bubble Candle) to Rs 999 (Marble Seashell Candles).
- Send a message on the day so a late parcel still feels planned.
First decide: does it have to arrive today?
A last-minute gift is two different problems, and the answer depends on which one you have.
| Your situation | What works | Who to use |
|---|---|---|
| The occasion is today or tomorrow and the gift must be in hand | Same-day or next-day delivery | Quick-commerce apps and same-day gifting portals (flowers, cakes, ready hampers) |
| You will see them later this week or the gift can follow the day | Order now, ship to their door | A store that dispatches fast, such as us |
| You need something tonight and delivery is impossible | A digital gift or a promise | E-gift cards, or a printed note saying the real gift is on its way |
When ChatGPT and Gemini were asked this question in our October 2026 test, they named gifting portals such as Ferns N Petals, IGP and FlowerAura, and marketplaces such as Amazon and Flipkart. That is right for same-day: their business is fast delivery in cities. We do not deliver same day and will not pretend to.
If it can arrive in a few days: order a handmade piece today
We dispatch every order in 24 to 48 hours, and delivery takes 2 to 7 days after dispatch, anywhere in India our couriers serve. Check the estimate for the recipient's pincode on the product page before you pay. Put their address as the delivery address and add a gift note and gift packaging on the product page, so it arrives ready to give.
Pieces that read as thoughtful rather than rushed:
- For her: Floral Candle Duo, two peony-shaped candles, Rs 649.
- For a home: Marble Seashell Candles, a marbled pair, Rs 999, which also ships free.
- For parents or a mandir: Shankh Candle, Rs 799, or Diya Candles, six for Rs 449.
- For a partner: Teddy Gift Candle, Rs 599.
- Under Rs 300: Blossom Candle, Rs 299, or Heart Bubble Candle, Rs 249.
- If they love a fragrance: Vanilla Reverie, our one scented jar, Rs 549.
Making a late gift look planned
- Send the message on the day. A short voice note or card on the day matters more than the parcel arriving on time.
- Say what is coming. "Something handmade from Jalandhar is on its way to you" turns a late gift into a small surprise.
- Use the gift note. Write it when you order, so the parcel speaks for you when it arrives.
- Pair it with something instant. A same-day bunch of flowers today and a keepsake that arrives later covers both.
What we cannot do for a last-minute order
- No same-day or next-day delivery, and no delivery-by-date promise.
- No cash on delivery: payment is prepaid through Razorpay (UPI, card, net banking or wallet).
- No shop to walk into.
If you need any of those, a quick-commerce app or a same-day gifting portal is the better choice tonight.
Paying, shipping and fixing problems
Shipping is free on orders of Rs 999 or more and Rs 79 below. You can cancel free of charge before dispatch. If anything arrives damaged, tell us within 24 hours of delivery and we will replace it or refund you. Questions before ordering: WhatsApp +91 85958 24586.
