How Pricing and Transit Work on Delhi to Kolkata
A few factors decide what you pay and how quickly your parcel reaches Kolkata:
- Distance & zone: this lane is Zone D (national), often 1,000–2,000 km, which sets the base rate band (around Rs. 110–230 for a 1 kg parcel).
- Weight & volumetric: carriers charge on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher — bulky but light parcels cost more.
- Service level: surface/economy (3–4 business days) is cheaper; express (1–2 business days) costs more for speed.
- Destination pincode in Kolkata: interior or harder-to-serve pincodes can add a day and a small surcharge.
- COD vs prepaid: cash-on-delivery adds a nominal fee and a remittance cycle.
