Pickup, Jodhpur.
Within 60–90 minutes of your call. Scooter into the lanes around Sardar Bazaar and Ghantaghar; tempo to Boranada and Salawas for the antique-replica crates. Tape, bubble wrap and a luggage scale come with us; the parcel is sealed at your address.
Trunk to Ahmedabad.
Same-evening handover to DTDC’s Jodhpur facility, then NH62 down to the Ahmedabad sort overnight — the same trunk used for the Surat / Mumbai lane.
Vadodara delivery.
Short onward leg from Ahmedabad to the Vadodara DTDC, sortation, and last-mile to Alkapuri, Sayajigunj, Old Padra Road, Mandvi or Raopura — typically by working day two for surface, often day one on express.

Once delivered, we forward the proof of delivery (signature image and stamp) on WhatsApp the same hour.

Antique-replica B2B, MS Uni kits, Marwari-Gujarati trade.
Antique-furniture-replica B2B
Sample-grade sheesham reproductions, drawer fronts, hardware kits and small accent pieces from the Boranada and Salawas exporter cluster to Vadodara’s villa-imports trade — Alkapuri / Sayajigunj / Old Padra Road interior-designer ateliers source consistently from Jodhpur. Customs declaration must read “modern reproduction”; full furniture sets go sea-freight separately.
Papier-mâché & lacquerware
Hand-painted papier-mâché trays, lacquered bowls, decorative pieces from Jodhpur ateliers to Vadodara design boutiques and gift retailers. Lightweight — volumetric weight usually drives the bill, not actual.
MS University student care kits
Parents in Jodhpur shipping books, dry food (sealed namkeen, mathri, kachori boxes), kitchen tools and bedding to MS University and Sangeet Mahavidyalaya hostel addresses. Peak in semester start and exam season; sealed-cover paperwork ships routinely on this lane.
Leather goods
Jodhpur leatherwork — riding boots, belts, hand-stitched bags, saddlery — to Vadodara wholesale showrooms. Each piece needs a declared treatment note (chrome-tanned / vegetable-tanned).
Marwari business documents
An old commodity-trade lane between Marwar and Gujarat. Wholesale samples, invoices, signed paperwork from Jodhpur firms to Mandvi and Raopura wholesale — sealed-cover originals on express, recurring weekly slot for the largest senders.
Wedding shipments
Marwari-Gujarati weddings often have a Jodhpur leg. Decor returns, photographer drives, leftover favours, sealed dry sweet boxes consolidated and shipped after the event.
A short, real list.
DTDC (and every air-network courier) prohibits these. Items most often misjudged on the Jodhpur → Vadodara 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 → Vadodara misjudgements
- Marwari sweet boxes for Gujarati weddings — sealed dry sweets are fine; ghee-laden, syrup-soaked or dairy/khoya-based ones cannot ship.
- Pre-1947 antiques — Indian customs blocks them. The declaration must read “modern reproduction”.
- Untreated raw leather — declared treatment is mandatory; raw hides are not accepted.
- Packed pickle / ghee / homemade chutney — semi-liquid; do not pack with regular parcels.
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 → Vadodara.
How long is transit Jodhpur to Vadodara, surface vs express?
Surface is 1–2 working days — same-evening handover from your Jodhpur pickup, NH62 down to Ahmedabad overnight, short onward leg into Vadodara DTDC and last-mile typically by working day two. Express is next-morning when booked before our noon cutoff, since the air leg routes through the Ahmedabad sort overnight. We always quote the realistic range, not a marketing number.
I’m sending an MS University student care kit — what packs cleanly on this lane?
Books, dry food (sealed namkeen, mathri, kachori boxes, dry mawa barfi in factory packs), kitchen utensils, bedding, sealed sweet boxes — all fine. Avoid anything ghee-laden or syrup-based (perishable / semi-liquid), pickles and homemade chutneys (liquid), and aerosol toiletries. Mark the carton with hostel block, room number and the recipient’s phone — MS Uni hostel offices close early and the rider needs to call ahead.
We supply weekly to Mandvi / Raopura wholesalers — can you set a recurring slot?
Yes. For 35 kg+ recurring consignments to Mandvi and Raopura wholesale, we lock a fixed weekday pickup window at your Jodhpur godown — Boranada, Salawas, or in-city — and rate-card the lane on a contracted bulk price (typically the same flat ₹120/kg). One GST invoice per cycle, AWBs and PODs forwarded together.
