At a glance
A bulk dry fruits order for corporate gifting usually starts at a minimum of 25 to 50 units. Pricing runs on a tiered structure: larger orders unlock a lower per-unit rate. Lead time scales with order size and branding. A small unbranded run can ship in 5 to 7 working days. A large, fully customised order needs 15 to 20 working days, especially during the busy Diwali season.
Ammari Foods packs bulk corporate orders at our Jaipur facility. Orders ship pan-India by courier or freight, depending on volume, and each order gets one consolidated GST invoice against the buyer’s purchase order. For box customisation, see our logo-branding guide. For price tiers, see our corporate gift hampers price list.
This guide covers order-quantity tiers, realistic lead times, delivery scope, and invoicing, so your team can plan the order without back-and-forth.
What counts as a bulk order
Most premium dry fruit suppliers, Ammari included, treat anything under 25 units as a retail-style purchase. Anything above that becomes a bulk order with its own pricing and dispatch process. The difference matters. A bulk order is quoted at one per-unit rate across the whole purchase. It is confirmed against a company purchase order (PO), not a one-off checkout.
Corporate buyers place bulk orders for three main reasons: employee gifting around Diwali or year-end, client and vendor appreciation, and welcome kits for new hires. Each has a different volume profile. A leadership team might need a few dozen boxes. An all-hands distribution might need several hundred. The ordering steps stay the same either way: confirm quantity, confirm customisation, confirm delivery addresses, lock the PO.
Order-quantity tiers, lead time, and delivery scope
The table below reflects how Ammari structures bulk corporate orders in practice. Use it as a planning reference, not a fixed price list. Exact rates depend on the product mix and the level of customisation chosen.
| Order size | Typical lead time | Delivery scope | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25-50 boxes | 5-7 working days | Single address or split across 2-3 offices, pan-India courier | Suits a single department or leadership-tier gifting |
| 51-150 boxes | 7-10 working days | Pan-India courier, single or multi-address dispatch | Most common tier for mid-sized company Diwali gifting |
| 151-300 boxes | 10-14 working days | Pan-India courier or regional freight consolidation | Needs a confirmed recipient address sheet before dispatch |
| 300+ boxes | 15-20 working days | Freight to a central hub or staggered multi-city dispatch | Lock the PO at least three weeks before the target date |
Two things push lead time toward the longer end: heavier customisation, such as a printed ribbon or a fully branded outer box, and ordering during the September-to-November corporate Diwali window, when supplier capacity tightens across the industry. If your delivery date is fixed, for example a company event, confirm the order at least a week earlier than the lead-time estimate above.
How the ordering process works
- Share your requirement. Product mix, approximate box count, and target delivery window. A rough range works to start a quote.
- Get a quote and sample. Ammari sends a per-unit rate for your volume tier along with product photos. A physical sample can be arranged for orders above 100 units.
- Confirm customisation. Choose a logo sticker, printed ribbon, or a fully branded box. Each option has its own lead time; see our customisation guide for what’s included at each level.
- Issue the purchase order. Once quantity, price, and customisation are locked, the order is confirmed against your company PO.
- Share the delivery address sheet. For multi-recipient dispatch, a spreadsheet of names and addresses is needed before packing begins.
- Dispatch and invoicing. Boxes are packed, dispatched pan-India, and one consolidated GST invoice is issued against the PO.
Delivery: pan-India scope and what affects timing
Ammari dispatches bulk corporate orders across India. Smaller and mid-sized runs go by courier. Larger multi-city orders go by regional freight consolidation. Metro and tier-1 city addresses generally see the fastest transit. Tier-2 and tier-3 destinations, and the North-East specifically, need a few extra days built into the plan. If your recipient list spans multiple offices or cities, flag this at the quote stage. The order can then be split into address-wise dispatch batches instead of one bulk shipment that needs internal redistribution later.
Invoicing and payment
Bulk corporate orders are invoiced against your company’s GST details as one consolidated invoice, with product, quantity, and per-unit rate itemised for your records. This is standard for any legitimate B2B purchase and keeps reconciliation simple on your end. For anything specific to input tax credit or how the purchase should sit in your books, consult your CA. Ammari’s role is to provide a clean, correctly itemised invoice; the tax-planning call sits with your finance team.
Payment terms for bulk orders are usually confirmed at the quotation stage, generally an advance against the PO with the balance due on or before dispatch. For larger orders, discuss terms directly during the quote conversation rather than assuming a default.
Choosing what goes in the box
Most bulk corporate orders mix two or three of Ammari’s four core products: California almonds, whole cashews, pistachios, and green raisins. A simple two-variety mix works well for large all-employee runs where per-unit cost matters most. A three- or four-variety assortment reads as more premium for client-facing and leadership-tier gifting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity for bulk corporate dry fruit gifting?
Ammari’s minimum for bulk corporate pricing is 25 boxes. Orders below that are handled as standard retail purchases, without tiered pricing or PO-based invoicing. Most corporate buyers land well above this minimum, since even a single-department gifting run often covers 30 to 50 recipients.
How far in advance should I place a bulk dry fruit order for Diwali gifting?
Lock the purchase order at least three weeks before your target delivery date for orders above 150 boxes or with heavy customisation. Smaller, lightly customised orders can be confirmed with 7 to 10 days’ notice. September to November is the busiest window industry-wide, so earlier confirmation avoids capacity limits closer to Diwali.
Can a bulk dry fruit order be delivered to multiple offices or cities?
Yes. Share a spreadsheet of recipient names and addresses at the quote stage, and the order is split into address-wise dispatch batches instead of one shipment. This is common for companies with regional offices or client lists spread across cities.
