We can begin by answering a few common questions that will make sending any air parcel to India an easier process:

How much will it cost to send a package to India?

Because we offer the most competitive rates, you will always pay the best prices for the highest quality services here at The Delivery Group. However, we cannot provide full, actual quotes for costs on any one package or parcel until we know what it contains, how much it weighs, how large it is and its overall volume. After we have received this, we will be able to provide you with the quote you need before you send any items out.

Depending on factors such as size, weight and the delivery option you have chosen for your parcel delivery, the charge for sending air cargo to India may be anywhere between £10 and £300.

What can and cannot be sent to India?

If you are planning on shipping any sort of parcel to India, you must be certain that you are following the rules and regulations, and not including prohibited items. The Central Board of Excise and Customs offers a full list of these, which include:

  • Baby gender prediction kits
  • Money orders
  • Natural abrasive products
  • Credit cards with no signature
  • Jewellery containing precious metals and stones

As of current legislation, you are able to send a gift of up to Rs 5,000, as long as this money is intended for personal use. This amount is considered exempt from customs duties.

Addressing your parcels to India

There are a number of differences in how packages and parcels are addressed in India, compared to the UK. We have listed these to make them more clear:

  • The Post town must be noted in block letters, and should also be underlined
  • The PIN-Code of the Post town should be noted below
  • You should note the District in cases where there is more than one Post town bearing the same name and if the PIN is not noted
  • If the name of the District is the same as that of the Post town, the name of the State should be noted
  • Indications of route, such as “via”, should not be given
  • It is highly recommended that the sender’s address is given in the lower left-hand corner on the address side, or on the reverse of the article if this isn’t possible
  • Landline and mobile telephone numbers of the addressee should be included on the item to help assist in delivery

How addresses are formatted in India may depend on whether you are delivering a package to an urban or more rural area. For an urban area, the format will normally be as follows:

  1. Name of addressee
  2. The addressee’s occupation, if any
  3. Number and/or Name of the House and name of the Street or Road
  4. Post Box No, if any
  5. Name of the locality or Mohall
  6. Name of the Post Town and PIN-Code
  7. Name of the District and State PIN-Code
  8. Country
Packets and Parcels

In the case of delivery to rural areas, the format will normally be:

  1. Name of addressee
  2. Father’s or husband’s name
  3. Occupation, if any
  4. Number of house, if any, along with the name of the street, if any
  5. Name of the village and Thana, Firka, Hobli, etc.
  6. Name of the Post Office of delivery and the PIN-Code
  7. Name of the Taluk or Tahsil. This is not necessary if the correct PIN is written

Account Manager

Advice and support, whenever you need it

When you sign up in partnership with The Delivery Group we will assign an expert account manager to you, who will then oversee all of your delivery operations. These trained members of our staff will not only be responsible for your billing, customs and documentation, they will also provide you with all the support you need throughout the shipping process. They can also answer any questions you may have, whether you need to know something about your items or about our shipping service to India as a whole.

To give an example, if you are sending a parcel to India from Leicester, but something has gone wrong and you need to redirect the item back to the UK, your account manager will be the person to call. They’ll be able to find a solution for practically any problem, and can even help you navigate deliveries through peak times, such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Imagine having the support of a courier firm that can help your parcel beat the odds and arrive on time even when there is a huge backlog throughout the rest of the postal system!

UTrak

We always track parcels and packages

Tracking your parcel to its intended destination is a hugely important aspect of what makes any delivery firm a success. As such, we have created a free, downloadable app for our customers to use whenever they need to mail something out.

You will be guaranteed complete peace of mind throughout the delivery process, as we will provide you with a tracking number for your item that can then be entered into the app to check its status. Having this app available also means that we can easily amend any requirements for your delivery, should something change.

We’ll also be making full use of our very own in-house tracking network, so you know that all parcels and packages to India are monitored.
