How Pricing and Transit Work on Madurai to Chennai
A few factors decide what you pay and how quickly your parcel reaches Chennai:
- Distance and zone: this is an intra-state lane, usually under 400 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 (1–2 business days) is cheaper; Express (next business day) costs more for speed.
- Delivery pincode in Chennai: 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.
