- Distance & zone: this lane is Zone D (national), often 1,200–2,200 km, which sets the base rate band (around Rs. 110–230 for a 1 kg parcel).

- Service level: surface/economy (3–5 business days) is cheaper; express (2–3 business days) costs more for speed.
- Destination pincode in Ranchi: interior or harder-to-serve pincodes can add a day and a small surcharge.
