Send a parcel from Jodhpur to Kolkata. We pick up free.
Roughly 1,650 kilometres east — 4 working days on DTDC surface, 2–3 days on air express. Pickup from your Jodhpur address (Sardar Bazaar, Sojati Gate, Sardarpura, Paota, Chopasni, Boranada, Salawas) is free for parcels of 5 kg or more.
Pickup in Jodhpur, eastern trunk transit, delivery across Kolkata.
Pickup, Jodhpur.
Within 60–90 minutes of your call. We bring tape, bubble wrap and a luggage scale to your address — Sardar Bazaar, Sojati Gate, Sardarpura, Paota, Chopasni, Boranada or Salawas — and seal at the door. Antique-furniture-replica B2B loads from Salawas / Boranada workshops are wrapped in-shed before they leave.
Eastward trunk.
Same-evening handover to DTDC Jodhpur. Surface line-haul typically routes via Jaipur → Kanpur → Patna; express moves on the air leg via a metro hub depending on load.
Kolkata delivery.
Inducted at the Kolkata NSCB hub, sorted by Howrah-side or city-side last-mile zone, then delivered to Burrabazar, Park Street, Salt Lake, New Town, Park Circus, IIT-Kharagpur and surrounds.
POD on WhatsApp.
Once delivered, we forward the proof of delivery (signature image and stamp) on WhatsApp the same hour.

Antique-replica B2B, Burrabazar Marwari documents, IIT-KGP student care.
Antique-furniture-replica B2B
The dominant lane. Salawas and Boranada workshops ship period-replica almirahs, jharokhas, low chests and carved panels to Kolkata villa-imports and Park Street / South City interior-designer trade. Crated on-site, surface routing, single GST invoice; ask for declared-value cover on high-value pieces.
Burrabazar Marwari documents
Kolkata is the historic Marwari merchant capital — the Jodhpur–Burrabazar business connection runs deep. Sealed-cover originals, ledgers, signed contracts and trade documents move on express between Jodhpur trade and Burrabazar / Bara Bazar offices on regular cycles.
Papier-mâché & lacquerware
Hand-painted papier-mâché trays, lacquerware boxes and decorative pieces to Park Street design boutiques and South Kolkata gift trade. Light, low-volume; usually express on quick-turn cycles.
IIT-KGP & Calcutta Univ care
Parents in Jodhpur shipping books, sealed dry namkeen, festival outfits and warm clothes to children at IIT Kharagpur, Presidency, Jadavpur, Calcutta University and IIM-Calcutta. Surface routing is fine for non-urgent academic loads.
Leather goods
Jodhpur-leather mojaris, bags and finished pieces to Kolkata showrooms and boutiques. Packed flat in double-walled cartons; surface or express depending on the trade window.
Personal documents
Originals, passports, signed contracts. Express only on this lane — surface at 4 days is too long for time-sensitive paperwork.
A short, real list.
DTDC (and every air-network courier) prohibits these. Items most often misjudged on the Jodhpur → Kolkata 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 Jodhpur → Kolkata misjudgements
- Marwari pickle (achaar) — semi-liquid with oil. Banned outright. Do not pack.
- Ghee-laden mithai, chhena sweets, rasgulla tins — dairy + semi-liquid; refused at induction. Sealed dry sweets and namkeen only.
- Loose handmade incense — paste-based agarbatti is treated as flammable solid.
- Gold or precious-metal jewellery — non-precious silverwork and brass are fine; precious-metal pieces are not.
- Fired-clay or glazed Durga idols — fragile + ceremonial; not a courier item.
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. On Salt Lake / New Town addresses please share a working recipient mobile; those last-mile zones run separately from city-side routes and a missed call can add a day.
Specific to Jodhpur → Kolkata.
How long does Jodhpur to Kolkata actually take?
Surface is 4 working days door-to-door — Jodhpur DTDC same evening, eastern trunk via Jaipur–Kanpur–Patna over the next two nights, Kolkata last-mile on day four. Express runs 2–3 working days via the air leg. For Salt Lake / New Town addresses, plan a half-day buffer on the inward side because those last-mile zones run as a separate route from city-side.
How does the Burrabazar Marwari B2B routine work from Jodhpur?
It's the dominant lane traffic. Jodhpur traders ship sealed-cover documents, ledgers, signed contracts, trade samples and antique-replica references to Burrabazar and Bara Bazar offices on regular weekly cycles — many on a fixed weekday slot. We pick up from the Jodhpur trader's premises (Sardar Bazaar / Sojati Gate / Sardarpura), book on express where it's time-bound, surface where it isn't. KYC and recipient firm details on the AWB; rate sheet on contract for recurring volumes.
Can I send a student care kit to my child at IIT-Kharagpur or Calcutta Univ?
Yes — books, sealed dry namkeen, packaged dry mithai (kaju barfi tinned, soan papdi), warm clothes, festival outfits all travel fine. Anything with ghee, fresh dairy, pickle in oil, or rasgulla syrup is not accepted. For IIT-KGP, mark the hostel block on the AWB and add a recipient phone number that actually reaches your child — the campus runs on a separate routing cycle from Kolkata city last-mile, and that recipient phone is what gets the parcel through the gate.
