## What is Handpickd?

Handpickd - Fresh Fruits, Vegetables, Ghee, Spices, Bread, Atta, Oils & More, Delivered Fresh In The Morning. 

Handpickd is a fresh grocery delivery app for homes that value what actually goes into their food. We connect directly with experts and farms and deliver fresh produce for your kitchen - every morning. No warehouses. No cold storage. Just real fresh food, harvested or made fresh to order.

THE NO DARKSTORE, NO WAREHOUSE DIFFERENCE
Most grocery apps sell you shelf life - food built to survive weeks of storage with preservatives, additives and cold chains. Handpickd does the opposite. We hold zero inventory. Produce is sourced or processed overnight; bread, dairy, ghee and more are made to order - then delivered fresh the next morning. Better taste, better nutrition and all things the way they are meant to be.

Buy fruits and vegetables online, harvested to order and delivered next day:

FRESH DAIRY, MADE DAILY, 100% PURE

FRESH BREAD, BAKED TODAY
Sandwich loaves, 100% whole wheat, whole wheat & millet brown, slow-fermented sourdough, and extra-soft milk bread on French flour - around 6 real ingredients, not 15. No palm oil, no preservatives.

FRESH ATTA, MILLED DAILY
Whole-grain Sharbati atta, multigrain blends, single-origin Sharbati 306 and ancient Khapli emmer - cold-milled to order so the germ and nutrition stay intact.

### 5/5 — Exceptional!!

*2026-09-06*

This app is such a saviour and brings me a lot of peace of mind. I have moved to India from London. Being used to the quality of fresh food abroad, I was always frustrated of the quality and options of veggies and fresh food available here, I have tried Zepto and Blinkit, it’s always not great, sometimes it’s rotten, smelly or laden with pesticides, the salad leaves are never available and if that it is, it’s always soggy.

HANDPICKD absolutely saved me, and my health, they claim truth and try to make there products at par, if not better. The spices are free of chemical, and the salad leaves are crunchy. Delivery is conveniently done for me. I hope they keep growing there product line-up in the future.

Thank You team at Handpickd, you guys are doing a tremendous job, keep growing!

### 4/5 — Good quality fruits & veggies- App for online purchase

*2026-09-03*

1) Started using Handpicked  about 10 months back. Some items very costly,  some are less costly as compared to local market. Delivery always on time. Rates are acceptable provided customer is able to use all offers provided by Handpickd from time to time. 
2) Offers are great, but are provided to selected customers and differs from customer to customer. Due to this customer specific approach, there is lack of transparency on the App. 
3) Resolution of short quantity or bad quality product on App is done immediately, without asking any questions. Nothing could be better. 
4) Resolution of issues on Chat is very poor. Due to lack of transparency & customer specific treatment, Chat team is not aware about T&C of the offer and is not able to resolve. 
5) SUGGESTION: Most of offers should be universal i.e. same T&C for all customers, which should be shown on App. Handpickd can continue with additional customer specific offers. It will bring clarity and reduce customer’s confusion.

**Developer response:** We're sorry for the experience, and we're working to do better. Please contact us at nothappy@handpickd.in so we can make it right.

### 3/5 — Not good coconut water

*2026-08-27*

I have some serious concerns regarding the coconuts being delivered to my doorstep and would appreciate your attention to the following issues:

1. Difficulty in opening the coconut
I'm not sure what process is being followed while cutting/preparing the coconuts before delivery, but the way they are currently being cut makes it extremely difficult to open them and pour out the water. Today, I had to cut through at least 5 inches of the outer layer just to reach the water inside.
2. Significant reduction in the quantity of coconut water
I have also raised concerns over the past few days regarding the quantity of water in the coconuts. Today's coconut contained less than a glass of water, which is quite disappointing.

During the initial days of the service, the quantity was consistently good. However, recently there has been a noticeable decline, and the quantity has become extremely inconsistent and, in some cases, very low.

### 5/5 — Normal review

*2026-08-15*

Services and convenience appear to be good . Prices are expensive .

### 1/5 — Classic Bait-and-Switch: Great Product, Terrible Business Practices

*2026-07-28*

The products are genuinely good. I initially ordered coconut water for ₹73 using the ₹300 free wallet credit they gave me. It was actually better than competitors like Milkbasket and Country Delight, and even cheaper.

Because I liked the product, I added my own money to the wallet once the free credit was exhausted. That’s when the real game started.

First, they quietly added a ₹19 delivery charge. Fine, I could live with that. But then, without any notice, the product price itself was silently increased from ₹73 to ₹93, making the total ₹112 (₹93 + ₹19 delivery) for a single coconut water—more expensive than Country Delight.

This feels like a classic bait-and-switch tactic: lure customers with attractive pricing, get them to load money into the wallet, and then quietly hike prices. That’s not how you build trust or retain customers.

To make matters worse, they claim wallet money can be withdrawn, but there’s no option anywhere in the app to do so.

Good products can’t compensate for such deceptive pricing practices. Extremely disappointing.

### 1/5 — Poor Quality, False Delivery Status & No Customer Support

*2026-07-27*

My experience with Handpickd has been terrible from the beginning. My very first order was falsely marked as “customer cancelled” even though I was home the entire time. No delivery was ever attempted. My society records every visitor entry, so this could have easily been verified.

   The grape stems were already rotting, and the mangoes were shriveled instead of fresh which was extremely disappointing.

The most frustrating part is the constant promotional notifications. I have opted out multiple times, yet they continue to send them. They simply ignore my requests to stop.

To make matters worse, there is no proper way to contact customer support through the app. There is no customer care number or live chat option, making it incredibly difficult to get help when something goes wrong.

At this point, I don’t care about any remaining credits or offers. I just want them to stop sending me marketing messages and respect my decision to opt out.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this service.

### 5/5 — Sincere attempt to serve quality

*2026-07-27*

After having tried with all types of e commerce agencies, be it Blinkit, Big Basket etc., I have found this agency to be at least trying to sincerely serve what it promises. But, one problem here is they are not supplying some of the items, after taking the order the previous day.  Either they should not show those items in their inventories, or if order is taken then the items should be delivered. About the items being pesticide free, I do not have means to test or certify, but relying on trust.

### 5/5 — Just Perfect

*2026-07-18*

Absolutely loved my experience with Handpicked! The entire process was smooth, professional, and hassle-free. The quality exceeded my expectations, and every detail reflected genuine care and attention. The team was responsive, punctual, and made the experience feel premium from start to finish. It’s rare to find a service that’s both reliable and consistent. Highly recommended to anyone looking for quality and convenience. Will definitely be using Handpicked again!

### 3/5 — Good veggies but bad design

*2026-07-08*

Quality is good but app design is very bad which keeps changing every few days. They want you to solve puzzles around midnight while ordering veggies. Not for everyday users. On top of that, their customer care straight up lie to you with old photos, they make you rethink if you are hallucinating about not receiving your order timely. They make you check your doorstep five times and still deny that order is not delivered. They have this clever option to select your time slot, which looks like a good idea for late risers, but once you have selected it, they will change the location of that button so that you can never change it back to early delivery.

If you have energy to argue with customer care first thing in the morning, go for handpickd.

### 5/5 — Excellent Quality is what they deliver

*2026-07-07*

Handpicked offers fruits vegetables and selected items in dairy. They pick amazing items and deliver with perfection. Door step delivery right in the morning. Items and meat and clean unlike other deliver platforms. Quality of items - 5 star
Delivery time - 5 star
Delivery quality - 5 star
Price - 4 star (I think it’s a bit expensive than other platforms). Personally I am fine coz of the quality I am getting.
