Every business has a beginning. Our journey with international Odia snacks started with a simple local delivery and has now taken us all the way to our first international order in Texas, USA.
For Snacks of Berhampur, our journey started with a simple idea — make authentic regional snacks from Odisha easier for people to access.
Our first orders were local. We delivered within the city and gradually built relationships with customers around us. As more people discovered our products, those local deliveries slowly became orders from different parts of Odisha.
Then came another milestone: customers from different states across India began ordering from us.
And recently, something happened that made us realise just how far our journey had come.
We received our first international order.
A customer from Texas, USA, ordered authentic products from our website, and on September 3, 2026, the package was successfully delivered.
For a small business that started with local deliveries, seeing an order travel from Berhampur to Texas was an unforgettable moment.
Where It All Started: Local Deliveries
When we started, our world was much smaller.
Our focus was on customers in and around our local area. We packed orders, arranged deliveries and slowly learned what customers expected from us.
Every local order taught us something.
We learned how to pack products properly, how to handle different types of snacks, how to communicate with customers and, most importantly, how much people value authentic regional food.
These early orders gave us the confidence to keep growing.
From the City to Different Parts of Odisha
As more customers became familiar with Snacks of Berhampur, orders started coming from outside our immediate locality.
What began as local delivery gradually expanded to different parts of Odisha.
This was an important step because it showed us that people wanted access to traditional products even when they were not close to the place where those products originated.
Pickles, papad, namkeen, mixtures, masalas and other regional products started travelling beyond our local area.
From Odisha to Customers Across India
The next stage of our journey was interstate delivery.
Customers from different parts of India began ordering from us.
Many of them were Odias living outside Odisha who missed the flavours they grew up with.
Someone living in Bengaluru might miss a particular pickle.
Someone in Mumbai might want traditional papad.
Someone in Delhi might be looking for authentic Odia namkeen.
Someone in Hyderabad might want regional masalas or other traditional products.
These orders showed us that food can create a connection with home even when people live hundreds or thousands of kilometres away.
We improved our packaging and shipping processes as our delivery network expanded.
What once seemed like a long-distance order gradually became part of our everyday business.
And Then Came Our First International Order
After serving customers across India, we received an order from Texas, USA.
It was exciting, but it also presented a completely different set of challenges.
Shipping a food order internationally is very different from delivering it within India.
We had several questions to answer before sending the parcel.
Would the products be permitted for shipment?
Which courier partner would be reliable?
Would our existing packaging be strong enough?
How should we protect the products during a much longer journey?
What documentation would be required?
Our first international Odia snacks order became a learning experience from the very beginning.
Finding the Right International Courier Partner
One of our first challenges was finding a suitable courier partner.
International shipments involve longer distances, multiple stages of handling and additional shipping requirements.
We had to understand different options and find a solution that could handle a food shipment from Odisha to the United States.
This process took time, but it helped us understand international logistics much better.
Checking Product Eligibility
Food products can be subject to different rules when crossing international borders.
We therefore had to check whether the products in the order were eligible for shipment and understand the applicable requirements.
This was an important lesson for us.
We realised that sending products internationally requires much more preparation than simply printing a shipping label and handing over a parcel.
Rethinking Our Packaging
Packaging became another major area of focus.
The packaging that works for a local delivery may not be enough for a parcel travelling internationally.
During a long journey, packages may experience movement, stacking and repeated handling.
We therefore paid attention to both the outer and inner packaging.
We worked on:
- Stronger outer cartons
- Better internal cushioning
- Secure placement of each product
- Protection against movement
- Proper sealing
- Reducing the possibility of breakage or leakage
The goal was simple: protect the products throughout the journey so the customer receives them in good condition.
We Learned a Lot From Our First International Shipment
Our first international Odia snacks order taught us lessons that domestic shipping never could.
We learned more about:
- International courier services
- Product eligibility
- Packaging for long-distance transit
- Documentation
- Customs-related requirements
- Transit handling
- International delivery timelines
Most importantly, we learned that every successful shipment starts with careful preparation.
From Berhampur to Texas in 6–7 Days
The most exciting part came when we finally saw the delivery completed.
Our first international Odia snacks order travelled from Odisha to Texas and reached the customer in approximately 6–7 days.
Watching the tracking updates was exciting.
But seeing the final delivery confirmation was something else entirely.
A parcel that began its journey in Berhampur had travelled all the way to Texas.
For us, that was not just a successful delivery.
It was a milestone.
There Are Odias Living All Over the World
Our international Odia snacks order also reminded us about the number of Odias who live outside India.
People move for education, employment, business and family, but moving away does not mean leaving behind the flavours they grew up with.
Many people living abroad still look for authentic Odisha products such as:
- Traditional pickles
- Papad
- Masalas
- Namkeen
- Mixtures
- Badi
- Traditional cooking ingredients
- Other regional favourites
For someone living far away from Odisha, receiving familiar food can feel like receiving a small piece of home.
What This Journey Means to Us
From local deliveries to interstate orders and now international shipping, every stage of our journey has taught us something new.
We did not begin with a global delivery network.
We started with one local order at a time.
Every customer helped us improve.
Every delivery taught us something.
Every new destination encouraged us to think bigger.
And our first international order showed us that authentic Odisha flavours can travel much farther than we once imagined.
What’s Next for Snacks of Berhampur?
Our first international Odia snacks delivery is only one milestone in our journey.
We want to continue improving our packaging, logistics and processes so that more customers outside India can access authentic Odisha products where international shipping is available.
We also understand that international food shipments can be subject to destination-specific rules and product restrictions.
So, we will continue to check the requirements carefully for each international order.
Our aim is not simply to ship products farther.
Our aim is to make authentic regional food easier to access while maintaining the quality and care that our customers expect.
From Odisha to the World
Snacks of Berhampur began with a simple idea: bring authentic regional flavours closer to customers.
Today, that journey has taken us from local streets in Berhampur to cities across India and, for the first time, to a customer’s home in Texas.
We are proud of how far we have come, but we know there is still a long way to go.
To every customer who has ordered from us, recommended us, shared our products or simply supported our journey — thank you.
You have helped take a small local idea one step closer to the world.
