- Weight & volumetric: carriers charge on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher — bulky but light parcels cost more.
- Service level: surface/economy (4–7 business days) is cheaper; express (3–5 business days) costs more for speed.
- Destination pincode in Indore: 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.
