It doesn't matter where in India you're sending from, Atlantic International Express's pickup network covers the country end to end. We regularly handle rakhi to New York orders from Delhi, Punjab, and Haryana in the north; Maharashtra and Gujarat, via Mumbai, Pune, and Ahmedabad; Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana, via Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad; West Bengal in the east; and Kerala and Rajasthan, two of our busiest corridors given how many families there have relatives settled across New York.
No matter which state the rakhi starts its journey from, it goes through the same careful process before it lands in New York, checked, packed, and tracked from the very first pickup.

Timing matters more for Raksha Bandhan than almost any other festival, so here's a realistic breakdown of delivery time to New York: standard international delivery typically takes 5 to 7 business days, while express delivery brings that down to 3 to 4 business days. For brothers who live close to one of our New York hubs, last-mile handoff is often quicker once the parcel clears customs. Do keep in mind that during peak Rakhi season, roughly the week leading up to Raksha Bandhan, you should add 1 to 2 extra days to account for customs processing and the general surge in festival demand.
Because international customs clearance can occasionally add a day or two during the festive rush, we always recommend booking your rakhi delivery in New York at least 7 to 10 days in advance. If you're sending from a major metro like Delhi, Mumbai, or Bangalore, pickup and dispatch tend to be faster than from smaller towns, so factor that into your planning if you're cutting it close.
Sending a rakhi internationally isn't just about shipping a package, it's about making sure a sister's love arrives intact, on the right date, looking exactly as beautiful as it did when she picked it. That's the difference Atlantic International Express brings to rakhi delivery in New York:
If you've been searching for a reliable way to send rakhi to New York this year, Atlantic International Express is built exactly for that purpose: fast, dependable, and festival-ready.
A single thread says a lot, but most sisters like to send a little more with it and Atlantic International Express makes that easy to do in one combined parcel rather than separate shipments.
Whatever combination you choose, everything ships together under a single tracking number, so nothing arrives separately, late, or out of sync with the rest of the gift.
New York isn't just one city to deliver to, it's a whole spread of boroughs, towns, and suburbs, and Atlantic International Express's network is built to reach all of them. Some of the areas we regularly deliver rakhi to include Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Flushing, Jackson Heights, Astoria, Williamsburg, Park Slope, Flatbush, Hempstead, Levittown, Yonkers, White Plains, Jersey City, Newark, Long Island City, Forest Hills, Elmhurst, New Hyde Park, Hicksville, Edison, Iselin, New Brunswick, Stamford, Paramus, Harrison, New Rochelle, Mount Vernon, Rego Park, Richmond Hill, Ozone Park, Bayside, College Point, Woodside, Jamaica, and more.
If your brother's address falls somewhere in or around the New York metro area and isn't listed above, there's a good chance we still deliver there. Our network keeps expanding its coverage every season.
With Atlantic International Express, you can send Rakhi to your brother or sister in over 180+ countries - door-to-door pickup in India, customs handled at our end, and live tracking the whole way.
Whether you're sending from Delhi, Mumbai, or a smaller town, Atlantic International Express handles every step — pickup, customs, tracking, and last-mile delivery to every corner of New York, NY — right on time.
Contact Us →Book at least 7 to 10 days before Raksha Bandhan for standard delivery, or 3 to 5 days if you go with express. Cutting it closer than that puts you at the mercy of customs timing, and that's not a gamble worth taking on this particular festival.
A little. Metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Chennai tend to have faster pickup and dispatch, while smaller towns can add a day onto the overall journey. Either way, our network is built to handle pickup from nearly anywhere in India.
Yes. Sweets, dry fruits, chocolates, or a gift hamper can travel with the rakhi as one combined parcel. Only non-perishable sweets are allowed for international shipping — liquid sweets aren't permitted.
Yes. Atlantic International Express's network covers Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, and a wide stretch of the greater New York metro area — including parts of Long Island, Westchester, and northern New Jersey.
Always. Every order comes with real-time tracking from the moment it's picked up in India to the moment it's handed over in New York, so you're never left guessing where things stand.
Shipping starts at ₹999/- and depends on the weight of the rakhi and any gifts you're pairing with it, along with whether you choose standard or express delivery. We're upfront about this at checkout, no charges get added on later that you didn't already see.
Yes. Many of our rakhi options support personalising a name, a short message, or a photo rakhi if that's the style you've chosen. You can also add a separate handwritten note if you'd rather keep the rakhi itself simple.
Yes, international shipping rules restrict certain items. Liquids, perishable food without proper packaging, cash, precious metals (gold, silver, etc.) and a few other restricted categories can't be included. Check our prohibited items list if you're unsure about something before the order is picked up.
Keep it in its original box or wrapping until it's time to tie it, away from moisture and direct sunlight. If multiple rakhis arrive together, keeping them separated stops the threads from tangling before the big day.
Reach out to us as early as possible. Changes are easiest before the parcel is picked up in India; once it's in transit internationally, options narrow — so the sooner you flag it, the more we can do.
