Send a parcel from Jodhpur to Thiruvananthapuram. We pick up free.
Roughly 2,400 kilometres end-to-end — the longest lane we run from Jodhpur. A long haul south through Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Bangalore and Kochi to the Kerala coast. Surface takes 5–6 working days; air express trims it to about 3 via the Bangalore air leg. Pickup from your Jodhpur address — Sardar Bazaar, Sojati Gate, Sardarpura, Paota, Chopasni, Boranada or Salawas — is free for parcels of 5 kg or more.

Antique-furniture-replica B2B, Kerala Secretariat documents, diaspora gateway.
Antique-furniture-replica B2B (heavy flow)
Salawas / Boranada workshops shipping carved-wood replica furniture, distressed-finish chests and Rajasthani-style daybeds to TVM villa-imports — Marine Drive and Padmanabhaswamy-area retiree-villa interior-designer trade is a steady consumer (Kerala's prosperous retiree and secretariat-villa market). Crated, foam-cornered, declared-value cover advised.
Kerala Secretariat / Niyamasabha documents
Sealed-cover originals from Jodhpur consignors to the Kerala Secretariat and Niyamasabha — gazettes, signed cabinet papers, contracts. Express only on this lane; the surface transit is too long for time-sensitive paperwork.
Papier-mâché & lacquerware
Old-city Jodhpur papier-mâché and Sardarpura lacquerware to TVM design boutiques and gift-trade. Recurring weekly slots for B2B consignors.
Kerala diaspora gateway
TVM is the takeoff point for Kerala's Gulf migration. Documents, ID copies and last-minute baggage from Jodhpur consignors for Kerala relatives flying out via TVM. Express recommended; we time the AWB to arrive 24–48 hours before the relative's flight so collection at the TVM-side address is comfortable.
Kerala University / IIST students
Care kits and books for Kerala University, College of Engineering Trivandrum and IIST Valiamala — books, snacks, kitchen kits, woollens for the start of term from Jodhpur AIIMS-J / IIT-J / NLU-J families with Kerala siblings. Usually a third cheaper than airline excess.
Bhadwasiya leather goods
Wallets, bags and mojaris to Kerala-Marwari retail and TVM design boutiques. Recurring B2B slots; rate sheet on contract.
A short, real list.
DTDC (and every air-network courier) prohibits these. Items most often misjudged on the Jodhpur → Thiruvananthapuram 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 Kerala-lane misjudgements
- Coconut, sandalwood and cardamom oils — these are liquids. They cannot ship.
- Liquid pickle, fish curry, fresh seafood — perishable and semi-liquid; not allowed.
- Aerosols — including hair spray and deodorant cans.
- Whole dry spices are fine; extracts and tinctures are not.
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 Jodhpur → Thiruvananthapuram.
Realistic transit on this longest lane?
Honest numbers: 5–6 working days on surface, 3 working days on express. Jodhpur to TVM is roughly 2,400 km — Ahmedabad → Mumbai hub → Bangalore line-haul → Kochi feeder → TVM last-mile. If anyone quotes you 3 days on surface for this lane, they're either flying part of it or guessing. Choose air express (≈3 working days, via the Bangalore air leg) for anything time-sensitive.
Can you deliver sealed-cover government documents to the Kerala Secretariat?
Yes. We handle Kerala Secretariat and Niyamasabha sealed-cover deliveries regularly — express service, signed POD with stamp, and we record the receiving clerk's name. We recommend booking before noon Jodhpur-end so the parcel reaches the Mumbai hub the same evening; that's what cuts a day off the air-leg transit. Useful for gazette transmissions and signed contracts.
How do Kerala-diaspora-gateway parcels via TVM work?
TVM is the takeoff point for Kerala's Gulf migration. We routinely book documents, ID copies and last-minute baggage from Jodhpur consignors for relatives flying out via TVM — the parcel is delivered to the TVM-side address (Kazhakkoottam / city core / Kovalam-side) before the relative's flight. We time the AWB so it arrives 24–48 hours before flight day — express only, signed POD on WhatsApp, photo of the receiving relative as additional proof on request.
