TNT or DTDC plus (without declaring as phone). Experience with DTDC Plus is very good so far - assured next business day delivery - charges are also reasonable.
Courier Service Feedback

just had a talk with TNT ppl they ask for the couriered item value and what the item is and i asked for the rough idea about charges it was Rs 130.00 and in the morning I asked DTDC plus their charges were Rs 275.00 Now theirs big diff in both the charges should I go with TNT then.archat68 said:
Upto 500Gm DTDC plus charge for Delhi to kolkata is 150 RS. Declare value as 500 Rs. I usually take a printout of some ebay listing like some statue of god etc and attach it as invoice (edit it to add the sellers and buyers name and address).parag1985 said:

DTDC - India
The charges for dtdc Metro plus are Rs 140 for first 500gms and Rs 85 for additional 500gms, how much does the phone weigh?

So it should cost 140 + 85 = Rs 225 with dtdc plus , i would go with dtdc if the phone is expensive, i think dtdc will be safer than TNT, i recently shipped a sansa mp3 player and a seagate dockstar with dtdc plus both were delivered without any issues.
simply use speed post , although slow but cheap best and safe as well , complete VFM!!j_jindal1 said:Thanks for the suggestion, but I've to send the medicines from India to US, I had sent them earlier as well but it costed me around 1000Rs. for 150 gms. As far as customs are concerned, I dont' think there should be an issue as far as medicines dont' fall in the category of certain drugs. I was looking for a cheaper way because these medicines are to be sent on a regular interval and I just cant' afford to spend Rs.1000 everytime..
Thanks for all the replies..
Hi,
As of my experience, I am sending items from DTDC, Bangalore, the office is very near to my home.
I feel like they are looting the people like anything. I have sent a micro SD card in ordinary courier and the charge is 100Rs and the same thing my friend sent it for 30Rs( from Chennai).
The charges are relative :-((
To EMS senders:
Can we send electronic items in EMS?
Will this really works http://www.indiapost.gov.in/Domestic.html ?

Yep it is very high, I send a Mobo from Bangalore to Calcutta for 120 Rs using DTDC.CA50 said:100 buck for a Micro SD card is way too high, how to they change money based on weight or digital memory size
You should have send that item via speedpost.
I think their min. charge is Rs.100, Once I sent a mobile to Hoskote(around 60km away), it costs me 100.
I will try with Speedpost or Professional next time, little lazy as the offices are far :-(

I am in Delhi and want to send one item to friend in Bangalore so that it reach him by 19th Tuesday.
As courier offices remain closed on Sunday and booking will be done on Monday can anybody suggest if there is any nominal courier that can do so?
My motive is that cost remains reasonable and delivery will be certain next day.
