What Affects Your Kolkata–Thanjavur Rate & Delivery Time

- 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).
- Weight & volumetric: carriers charge on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher — bulky but light parcels cost more.
- Service level: surface/economy (3–5 business days) is cheaper; express (2–3 business days) costs more for speed.
- Destination pincode in Thanjavur: interior or harder-to-serve pincodes can add a day and a small surcharge.
