Send a parcel from Jodhpur to Ranchi. We pick up free.
Roughly 1,500 kilometres east — surface routes through Mumbai or Kolkata; air express stages through Mumbai–Nagpur to Ranchi. Surface is 4 working days; express trims it to 2–3. Pickup from your Jodhpur address — Sardarpura, Sojati Gate, Ratanada, Boranada or Salawas — is free for parcels of 5 kg or more.
Pickup in Jodhpur, hub via Mumbai or Kolkata, delivery across Ranchi.
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 — Old City lanes (Sojati Gate, Tripolia Bazaar, Ghantaghar), Sardarpura, Ratanada, or out at Boranada / Salawas exporter ateliers.
Mumbai hub.
Same-evening handover to DTDC Jodhpur, then road to the Mumbai facility overnight. Mumbai is the eastern-spine sortation point for east-bound consignments out of the Marwar belt.
Nagpur → Ranchi (air) or Kolkata feeder (surface).
Express moves Mumbai–Nagpur–Ranchi via air feeder; surface continues through Nagpur or via the Kolkata hub on the longer routing, then onward to Ranchi DTDC.
Last-mile + POD.
Door delivery across Lalpur, Doranda, Hatia, Kanke Road, Ratu Road. Signed POD comes back on WhatsApp the same hour delivery happens.

Antique-replica B2B, Secretariat docs, BIT-Mesra students, HEC industrial.
Antique-furniture-replica B2B
Salawas / Boranada exporter ateliers shipping declared modern reproductions to Ranchi villa-imports — Lalpur and Doranda interior-designer trade serving Jharkhand's prosperous mining-and-steel villa market. Tax invoice + HSN + buyer GST + sender KYC at booking.
Papier-mâché & lacquerware
Jodhpur papier-mâché, lacquerware and miniature-painting samples to Ranchi designer boutiques. Two-layer pack for fragile pieces; surface routing handles them better than the air leg.
Jharkhand Secretariat / High Court
Sealed-cover originals to the Jharkhand Secretariat and Ranchi High Court — gazettes, signed papers, certified copies. Express service only — surface is too long for time-sensitive paperwork.
IIM-Ranchi / BIT Mesra / NUSRL
Care kits, books, woollens for IIM-Ranchi, BIT Mesra and NUSRL students from AIIMS-J / IIT-J / NLU-J families with cousins or sibling cohorts in the east. The BIT Mesra hostel pattern is well-trodden — books, kitchen kits, bedding for term-start.
HEC / Mecon Ltd industrial parts
Heavy Engineering Corporation and Mecon Ltd in the Hatia industrial belt take recurring B2B samples — non-precious mechanical samples, gauges, technical drawings, KYC + commercial invoice on bulk.
Tribal handicraft B2B (non-precious)
Pyrkka and dokra metal handicrafts, decorative tribal pieces between Jodhpur retailers and Ranchi dealers — non-precious decorative metal only. Precious-metal pieces are bullion and not allowed.
Leather goods
Finished Jodhpur leather — mojaris, bags, belts — to Ranchi retail and Lalpur boutiques. Treated leather only; raw hide is not accepted.
A short, real list.
DTDC (and every air-network courier) prohibits these. Items most often misjudged on the Jodhpur → Ranchi 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 Ranchi-lane misjudgements
- Precious-metal dokra and silver-tribal pieces — these are bullion. Non-precious decorative dokra is fine.
- Petroleum-based wood-treatment / lacquer chemicals — flammable liquids; raw treatment chemicals from Salawas workshops cannot ship. Treated pieces are fine.
- Edible oils, attars and ghee from Jodhpur households — semi-liquid, banned.
- Fresh laddoo, chenna, mawa — perishable; only fully dry mithai survives transit.
- Untreated leather / raw hide — finished leather is fine; untreated hide is not.
AWB on WhatsApp. Track on dtdc.in. POD when it lands.

Specific to Jodhpur → Ranchi.
Is the transit really 4 days surface and 2–3 days express?
Yes — and we'd rather be straight than oversell. Surface routes Jodhpur–Mumbai–Nagpur (or via Kolkata) before the last-mile to Ranchi; that's 4 working days realistically. Express via air feeder Mumbai–Nagpur–Ranchi lands in 2–3 working days if booked before noon. Anyone quoting 1–2 days surface for this lane is guessing.
Can you ship dokra metal handicrafts to Ranchi dealers?
Yes for non-precious decorative dokra and tribal-style metal pieces — those move fine on this lane with a commercial invoice. We do not accept precious-metal dokra, silver-tribal jewellery or any piece sold by metal-weight rather than as a decorative work — DTDC treats those as bullion and they are banned through couriers.
What does a typical BIT Mesra or NIT-Jamshedpur student care kit look like?
Around 15–25 kg per parcel — books, a kitchen kit (steel utensils, dry masala in sealed sachets, no oils), bedding, woollens for the winter, term clothes. Surface service makes sense at this weight; we collect from your Jodhpur home — Sardarpura, Ratanada, Boranada — and deliver to the BIT Mesra hostel address (or NIT-Jamshedpur via Ranchi onward leg), signed POD back.
