Delivery tips for Bengaluru
- 1
Traffic in Bengaluru can be heavy on arterial roads, so choose off-peak windows and keep the time flexible.
- 2
Gated apartment communities usually have security at the gate that calls the flat before a visitor enters, so ask the recipient to expect a call.
- 3
Addresses often use layout, block, main road and cross numbers, so share the full pattern and a nearby landmark or metro station.
- 4
Short, sudden rain showers are common in the wet months, so wrap cakes and cards well.
- 5
Many neighbourhoods are quiet on weekday mornings, so confirm that someone will be home before a surprise is due.
Gift etiquette
Many people appreciate even a few words in Kannada, though English and Hindi are widely understood in the city.
People traditionally remove their shoes before entering a home, and a Helper may be asked to do the same.
If you are unsure about diet, vegetarian sweets and flowers are a safe choice.
