Within 60–90 minutes of your call. We bring tape, bubble wrap and a luggage scale; the parcel is sealed at your address.

Secretariat docs, BIT students, Hatia industrial B2B.
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. 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 metal parts, gauges, technical drawings. Commercial invoice + KYC on bulk.
Tribal handicraft B2B (non-precious)
Pyrkka and dokra metal handicrafts, decorative tribal pieces from Udaipur retailers to Ranchi dealers — non-precious decorative metal only. Precious-metal pieces are bullion and not allowed.
Wedding shipments
Trousseau, Bandhej, Kota fabric, mojaris, mithai (dry only) returns to relatives. Bulk pickup over an afternoon; single GST invoice on request.
Lalpur / Doranda retiree parcels
Books, woollens, dry mithai, non-prescription medicines to family in Lalpur, Doranda and Kanke Road residential pockets.
A short, real list.
DTDC (and every air-network courier) prohibits these. Items most often misjudged on the Udaipur → 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.
- Edible oils, attars and ghee from Udaipur households — semi-liquid, banned.
- Fresh laddoo, chenna, mawa — perishable; only fully dry mithai survives transit.
- Aerosols — including hair spray, deodorant and lubricant cans.
AWB on WhatsApp. Track on dtdc.in. POD when it lands.

Specific to Udaipur → Ranchi.
Is the transit really 4 days surface and 2–3 days express?
Yes — and we’d rather be straight than oversell. Surface routes Udaipur–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 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 Udaipur home, deliver to the BIT Mesra hostel address, signed POD back.
