How Pricing and Transit Work on Satna to Chennai

- 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.
