Best Courier Option on the Rajkot–Gangtok Lane
On the Rajkot–Gangtok corridor, Blue Dart and India Post tend to reach the widest set of pincodes here, while Delhivery is usually the most economical surface option. Because this is a long-haul lane into one of India's harder-to-serve regions (a long-haul movement, frequently 1,500 km or more), the gap between economy and express is usually a day or two — ApnaCourier compares both so you only pay for speed when you actually need it.
