How Pricing and Transit Work on Patna to Kolkata

A few factors decide what you pay and how quickly your parcel reaches Kolkata:

  • Distance & zone: this lane is Zone C (regional), typically around 300–800 km, which sets the base rate band (around Rs. 75–150 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 (2–3 business days) is cheaper; express (1–2 business days) costs more for speed.
  • Destination pincode in Kolkata: 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.
