โ˜… โ˜… โ˜… โ˜… โ˜…

My mother in Kondapur sent 5 kg of avakaya and gongura pachadi to us in London. The pickles arrived in perfect condition โ€” not a single leak, UK customs cleared without any issue. SLP Express packed everything beautifully. We opened the box and it smelled exactly like home. Worth every rupee. Highly recommend to all Telugu families in the UK.

I ordered Diwali sweets โ€” ariselu, sunnundalu and Mysore pak โ€” from my parents in Kukatpally and they shipped via SLP Express to Birmingham. Delivery in 4 working days, all sweets intact, UK customs cleared smoothly. The rates were 40% cheaper than the DHL Hyderabad retail quote I had. Will use again for Sankranti.

Ravi Kumar T., Birmingham (via Kukatpally) Hyderabad โ†’ UK

I had a bulk order โ€” 12 kg of karam podi, spice powders and Hyderabadi snacks for a get-together at our Telugu association in Manchester. SLP picked up from our Jubilee Hills home, packed everything free, cleared UK customs, and delivered on time. The wholesale rates were far better than anything I found online. Trusted courier for NRI families.
