How Pricing and Transit Work on Kochi to Kolkata
A few factors decide what you pay and how quickly your parcel reaches Kolkata:
- Distance and zone: this is a national lane, often 1,200–2,200 km, which sets the base rate.
- Weight and volume: couriers charge on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher — bulky but light parcels cost more.
- Service: Surface (3–5 business days) is cheaper; Express (2–3 business days) costs more for speed.
- Delivery pincode in Kolkata: interior or harder-to-serve pincodes can add a day.
- COD or prepaid: cash on delivery adds a 2.15% fee and a remittance cycle.
