Courier Charges from Chennai to Madurai

Charges on the Chennai to Madurai lane depend on the delivery zone, the chargeable weight and the service. Chargeable weight is the higher of the actual weight and the volumetric weight (length × breadth × height in cm ÷ 5000), so a light but bulky box can cost more than a small heavy one.

The shipping rate calculator gives the Delhivery Surface and Express price for Chennai to Madurai at any weight before you sign up, and the same price shows again when you book.

  • Priced by zone and chargeable weight
  • Billed on actual vs. volumetric weight, whichever is greater
  • Surface and Express quoted side by side
  • Weight discrepancies can be disputed within 7 days
