subject: How To Send Rakhi To Ahmedabad Even On The Eve Of Raksha Bandhan [print this page] If you are reading this article, you certainly want to send Rakhis to Ahmedabad, or to some other location in India and looking for some reliable way of doing so. Well, I had also been exploring my contacts for the solution of this problem and have got a much better solution now. Im originally from Ahmedabad and have been living in New York for last 2 years. A lot of Indians live here and most of them celebrate all Indian festivals with great excitement. There are many sisters who are either living with their husbands or working on their own in IT companies here. Last year, when I did not know much about the way they send Rakhi to India, I had to seek help from other NRIs here. I was told that they use online Rakhi stores to that and I followed the suite. I picked the first store which emerged in google list and placed my order of Rakhi to Ahmedabad online. I was pleased to see how easily the order could be processed and payment transferred. I thought that Ive sent my Rakhis for brother. But I was wrong. My Rakhis have not been delivered to my home even today, one year after placing my order.
Later, when I discussed the issue with my fellow Indians there, I came to know of many good things that I was not really taking care of while shopping online, specially when I have to send Rakhis to Ahmedabad. They told me that I must not just hop on any online store and place my order online. I should make sure that the online store has really earned some credit among the NRI community and the one which is in existence for quite some time. They also informed me that it is better if I could find an online store originally from our native place, or from India at least, for the reason that they are in better position of delivering Rakhis to India in a timely manner. Another reason is that there are so many fraudulent activities online that you can not rely on each and every portal without knowing the people behind it.
I did use all those advice this year before placing my order for Rakhi to Ahmedabad online. I tried to search an online gift portal that is basically from Ahmedabad or from Gujarat. I did get one. Moreover the site was offering Free service for Rakhi to Ahmedabad. I am surprised to know that my Rakhis have been delivered to Ahmedabad within hours of my order. Bravo!
