Send a parcel from Jodhpur to Mumbai. We pick up free.
Roughly 960 kilometres down through Pali, Ahmedabad and the Western corridor — 2–3 working days on DTDC surface, 1–2 days on air express. Pickup from your Jodhpur address — Sardarpura, Paota, Ratanada, Boranada or Salawas — is free for parcels of 5 kg or more.
Pickup in Jodhpur, Ahmedabad transit, delivery across Mumbai.
Pickup, Jodhpur.
Within 60–90 minutes of your call. We bring tape, bubble wrap and a luggage scale; the parcel is sealed at your address — Sardar Bazaar, Sojati Gate, Sardarpura, Ratanada, or out at the Boranada / Salawas exporter belt.
Hub transit.
Same-evening handover to DTDC's Jodhpur facility, then road movement down via Pali to the Ahmedabad hub overnight — the western trunk route into Maharashtra.
Mumbai delivery.
Onward leg to Mumbai DTDC, sortation, and last-mile to your recipient — Bandra, Lower Parel, Worli, Andheri, Powai, or Navi Mumbai. Typically working day three for surface, day two for express.
POD on WhatsApp.
Once delivered, we forward the proof of delivery (signature image and stamp) on WhatsApp the same hour. Useful for B2B consignees in auction houses and design studios who need it on file.

Antique-replica B2B, handicraft, student care, Marwari trade.
Antique-furniture-replica B2B
The dominant flow on this lane. Salawas and Boranada exporter ateliers ship modern reproduction furniture to Mumbai villa-import showrooms — Bandra, Lower Parel, Worli auction houses, and the interior-designer trade. Pieces are declared as 'modern reproduction' on the AWB; antique paperwork is a non-starter for courier.
Papier-mâché & lacquerware
From Jodhpur ateliers to Mumbai design boutiques in Kala Ghoda, Bandra and the Khar / Pali Hill design strip. Two-layer pack for fragile pieces; surface routing handles them better than the air leg.
Leather goods
Jodhpur leather — bags, mojaris, bound journals, decor — to Mumbai retailers. Declare treatment / tanning method on the AWB; some finished leather is fine, untreated hide is not.
Tourist returns, Jodhpur + Pink City
Mumbai-resident visitors doing the Jodhpur–Jaipur combined tour usually buy more than they can carry. Mehrangarh souvenirs, block-print, brass, marble inlay — packed at your hotel and shipped before you fly out.
AIIMS-Jodhpur / IIT-Jodhpur care
Care boxes from Mumbai-based parents of students at AIIMS-Jodhpur and IIT-Jodhpur run both ways on this lane. Mumbai-bound is usually the return flow — sealed-cover paperwork, returned books, festival items going home to family.
Marwari business documents
The Jodhpur–Mumbai Marwari trade is centuries-old. Signed contracts, ledgers, GST documents, family-firm paperwork between Jodhpur traders and Mumbai-resident Marwari counterparts. Express only — surface 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 → Mumbai 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 misjudgements
- Petroleum-based wood-treatment / lacquer chemicals — these are flammable liquids; raw treatment chemicals from Salawas / Boranada workshops cannot ship. Treated pieces are fine.
- Loose furniture polish or oils — same as above. Shippers sometimes bundle a touch-up bottle with the piece; pull it out at pickup.
- Untreated leather / raw hide — finished leather goods are fine; untreated hide is not. Declare honestly on the AWB.
- Silver jewellery — non-precious silverwork is fine; precious-metal pieces are not.
- Loose handmade incense — paste-based agarbatti is treated as flammable solid.
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. For Mumbai design-studio consignees, the POD signature is usually what your accounts team needs for invoice closure.
Specific to Jodhpur → Mumbai.
I run a Salawas atelier shipping antique-reproduction furniture to a Bandra showroom — how does the B2B paperwork work?
Declare the piece honestly as a 'modern reproduction' on the AWB and the commercial invoice — DTDC will not move anything described as antique, and customs paperwork doesn't apply on a domestic lane anyway. Include a tax invoice with HSN code, the buyer's GST, and your sender KYC. For larger pieces over 30 kg or oversized cartons, ISPM-15 treated wood crating may be requested by the receiving showroom for downstream insurance — we can arrange a Jodhpur-side carpenter to crate to spec before pickup. Bulk consignment rates apply at 35 kg+.
Can a parcel reach Bandra or South Mumbai by tomorrow evening if I book on express?
Often yes if you book before noon. Express is 1–2 working days on this lane — the air leg moves overnight via Mumbai DTDC, last-mile to South Mumbai or Bandra by next day's afternoon or evening run. Bookings after noon usually push delivery to day-after-tomorrow. For a same-day-evening Mumbai delivery from Jodhpur, give yourself the morning slot.
Can you set up a recurring weekly pickup for a Mumbai-importer trade account?
Yes — recurring weekly slots are common on this lane for the Jodhpur exporter cluster. We agree a fixed pickup day and window (typically a Tuesday or Thursday afternoon at your Boranada / Salawas warehouse), a contracted rate sheet, and a single GST invoice format. Mumbai-side, we can also coordinate a fixed delivery window with your importer if their warehouse has dock-time constraints.
