One standardised gift, shipped pan-India, keeps multi-city gifting simple.

Should every city office get the same gift, or different ones?

Standardise on one gift (or one gift with 2–3 tiers by seniority) across all cities. Different gifts per office create branding inconsistency, complicate the mock-up and approval process, and make budget tracking harder — most HR teams we work with pick one core item.

What information do I need to collect before ordering?

A single spreadsheet with employee name, city, full address including PIN code, and phone number is enough for us to plan dispatch across 25+ states. Grouping by city helps us batch deliveries efficiently.

Multi-city gifting checklist

How does delivery timing differ by city or region?

Metro cities (Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata) generally see faster delivery within the standard 7–15 working day window; tier-2/3 cities and remote addresses may need a few extra days, so build in buffer for the full spread when planning a Diwali or year-end drive.

Can gifts be delivered directly to employees' homes?

Yes — for remote and multi-city teams, we ship directly to each employee's home address rather than routing everything through a central office, which is the standard approach for distributed teams.

Does a multi-city order cost more than a single-office order?

The per-unit product cost stays the same regardless of delivery spread; the only added cost is shipping across more destinations, which scales with distance and address count rather than city count itself.

Which delivery approach fits your team?

How is your team distributed?

Standard 7–15 working day delivery works well; a single office bulk drop can also work if staff commute in.

Ship to individual addresses for remote staff and batch-deliver to metro offices; plan a few extra days for the remote spread.

Home delivery to every address is the standard approach — build in the full delivery window and confirm addresses early.

Need help choosing?

Send us your headcount, budget and occasion on WhatsApp — we'll suggest 2-3 options with real product links and a GST-inclusive total.

Can Meru Gifting deliver to all 25+ states directly?

Yes, we ship pan-India to 25+ states from our Bengaluru studio, including direct-to-home delivery.

Do I need a different mock-up approval for each city?

No, one mock-up approval covers the standardised gift across every delivery destination.

What if some employees are outside India?

We also ship internationally to 8 countries — see our international shipping FAQ for details.

Is there a minimum number of cities for pan-India delivery?

No minimum — we handle anywhere from a single city to a full national spread within the same order.
