However, there is no official clarification on whether Blinkit will charge aboard customers extra or if the platform will deliver the goods normally. Earlier this month, Blinkit introduced another feature that lets you get passport-sized photos delivered to your doorstep in 10 minutes. This service is only available if you live in Delhi or Gurugram. 

There are mixed reactions from users on the internet after Blinkit rolled out the new Raksha Bandhan feature. While some users praised the service for its convenience. Furthermore, some users suggested that the offer could have been launched earlier. 

Why not Australia? has this beautiful functionality on and I order food for my parents regularly in Kolkata while staying in Melbourne. Makes me feel that little bit better .

Already ordered from Amazon from Japan.

Could have started little earlier.

Hope the offer comes again next year too!
