How Pricing and Transit Work on Imphal to Kochi
A few factors decide what you pay and how quickly your parcel reaches Kochi:
- Distance & zone: this lane is Zone E (special/remote), a long-haul movement, frequently 1,500 km or more, which sets the base rate band (around Rs. 150–320 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 (4–7 business days) is cheaper; express (3–5 business days) costs more for speed.
- Destination pincode in Kochi: interior or harder-to-serve pincodes can add a day and a small surcharge.

- Right-sized, sturdy box with no empty space
