Steel-plant samples, gem-trade B2B, student kits, Marwari trader parcels.
Gem-trade B2B to Salem Marwari merchants
Non-precious cut stones, kundan-meenakari and decorative jewellery samples from Johari Bazaar to long-settled Marwari wholesalers around Five Roads / Shevapet. Commercial invoice, sender KYC and recipient GST mandatory; bullion-grade gold or silver cannot ship.
Salem Steel Plant (SAIL) B2B
Industrial-component samples, fasteners, gauges and engineering drawings to vendors around the SAIL township. Commercial invoice and KYC are mandatory; for high-value samples we strongly recommend declared-value cover before pickup.
Student care kits
Periyar University and VMKV Engineering College students get books, kitchen kits, woollens and clothes from Jaipur homes. Surface routing keeps it affordable; bulk packs save more.
Marwari business parcels
The Five Roads / Shevapet trader community has long-standing Jaipur ties — sample swatches, account books, festival hampers, sealed-envelope cash memos (no currency notes inside).
Wedding outfits to Tamil-Marwari families
Bandhani, gota-patti and zardozi consignments — saafa, lehenga returns, photographer drives, leftover favours. Bulk afternoon pickup; single GST invoice.
Mango / banana / turmeric trade
DRY samples only — turmeric powder packs, dried banana chips, mango pulp tins (sealed factory packs only). Fresh fruit is perishable and we will not ship it.
Yercaud spillover
Hill-station residents and small B&B owners around Yercaud collect through Salem. We deliver via DTDC last-mile — add roughly one extra day.
Retiree parcels
Older parents in Jaipur sending shawls, dry sweets and reading material to working children settled in Salem residential layouts.
A short, real list.
DTDC (and every air-network courier) prohibits these. Items most often misjudged on the Jaipur → Salem lane:
Banned outright
- Liquids of any kind — perfumes, attars, oils, gels, hand sanitiser
- Aerosols and pressurised cans
- Cosmetics, nail polish, fragrance samples
- Flammable solids and matches
- Currency notes and gold/silver bullion
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh on the air leg
Common Jaipur → Salem misjudgements
- Turmeric oil / coconut oil bottles — these are oils. Banned, even in factory seals.
- Fresh mangoes or bananas — perishable; cannot ship on this 4-day lane.
- Raw industrial chemicals or solvents — even small SAIL-supplier samples need a separate dangerous-goods route.
- Aerosols from the Walled City — paint cans, deodorants, lubricant sprays.
AWB on WhatsApp. Track on dtdc.in. POD when it lands.
The moment the parcel is booked into DTDC, we send you the AWB number on WhatsApp. Type it into the public tracker at dtdc.in any time. When delivery happens we forward the POD — signed slip or photo — within the hour.
Specific to Jaipur → Salem.
How long does Jaipur to Salem really take?
Honest answer: surface is four working days, not three. The leg is long — Jaipur to Mumbai overnight, Mumbai to Bangalore by road, then Bangalore to Salem the next day. Express is 2–3 working days because the Bangalore leg moves by air. We don’t promise next-day on this lane; anyone who does is guessing.
I’m sending a B2B sample to Salem Steel Plant — what paperwork do I need?
A commercial invoice with HSN code, your GSTIN and the consignee GSTIN, plus KYC (one copy of Aadhaar or PAN of the sender). For high-value engineering samples — gauges, precision components, certified fasteners — ask us about declared-value cover before pickup; DTDC’s default liability cap is limited and the SAIL-area lane has heavy handling.
Do you deliver to Yercaud or Mettur?
Yes, both. Salem city is the line-haul drop; from there DTDC last-mile takes the parcel up to Yercaud or out to Mettur. Add roughly one extra working day in either case. Mention the Yercaud or Mettur address clearly when you book so we tag the AWB for onward routing.
