Send a parcel from Udaipur to Kozhikode (Calicut). We pick up free.
Roughly 2,000 kilometres into Kerala’s Malabar coast, 4–5 working days via DTDC’s surface network — 2–3 days if you choose air express via the Bangalore leg. Pickup from your Udaipur address is free for parcels of 5 kg or more.
Pickup in Udaipur, hubs at Mumbai and Bangalore, delivery into Calicut.
Pickup, Udaipur.
Within 60–90 minutes of your call. We bring tape, bubble wrap and a luggage scale; the parcel is sealed at your address.
Mumbai hub.
Same-evening handover to DTDC’s Udaipur facility, then road movement to Mumbai overnight for sortation onto the southern leg.

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

Student kits, Gulf-diaspora gateway, dry-spice samples.
Student care kits
Calicut University, NIT-Calicut and IIM-Kozhikode pull students from across India. Snacks, kurtas, semester books, kitchenware — usually a third cheaper than airline excess fees, and the only realistic option for non-flying parents.
Kerala diaspora gateway
Calicut is the homeward gateway for the Malabar Muslim Gulf diaspora. Households use the Udaipur lane to consolidate gifts, dry foods and household items going to relatives before they fly out — or back from Udaipur kin to ancestral homes.
Dry-spice B2B samples
Kozhikode is Asia’s pepper-trade origin point. Dry samples of black pepper, cardamom and dry chilli move legitimately under commercial invoice + KYC. Oils and pastes are not permitted on the air leg.
Marwari trader parcels
Old Marwari business families on Mittai Theruvu and the SM Street wholesale stretch maintain regular Udaipur ties — wedding invites, gifts, account documents, festival shipments.
Wedding shipments
Photographer drives, decor returns, leftover favours, gift consolidation between Udaipur and Calicut wedding circuits. Bulk pickup over an afternoon, single GST invoice.
Retiree parcels
Households with elderly parents in Beach, West Hill or Chevayur receiving medicines, sweets at festivals, sarees from Udaipur kin. Recurring small-parcel slot, billed monthly.
A short, real list.
DTDC (and every air-network courier) prohibits these. Items most often misjudged on the Udaipur → Calicut lane:
Banned outright
- Liquids of any kind — perfumes, attars, oils, gels, hand sanitiser
- Aerosols and pressurised cans
- Coconut oil, cardamom oil and any spice-distillate oils
- Arrack, toddy and any Kerala-region alcohol
- Cosmetics, nail polish, fragrance samples
- Flammable solids and matches
- Currency notes and gold/silver bullion
Common misjudgements on this lane
- Coconut oil / spice oils — these are liquids; banned even in sealed bottles.
- Liquid pickle, fish-curry mix, kerala-style achaar — perishable and semi-liquid; not allowed.
- Attar bottles from the old city — these are oils. They cannot ship.
- 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.
Specific to Udaipur → Kozhikode (Calicut).
What’s the realistic transit time, honestly?
Surface is genuinely 4–5 working days because the route crosses the Western Ghats via Mumbai and Bangalore before reaching the Calicut DTDC. Express via the Mumbai → Bangalore air leg lands in 2–3 working days. We won’t promise next-day on this lane — anyone who does is overselling. If a particular delivery date matters (a wedding, a viva), tell us and we’ll work backwards from it.
How does dry-spice B2B sampling work to or from Calicut?
Dry whole spices — black pepper, cardamom pods, dry red chilli, dry turmeric — move legitimately under a commercial invoice and KYC documents (GST + Aadhaar of the consignor). Oils, pastes, fresh produce and ground masalas with oil content are not allowed on the air leg. We can pre-clear the paperwork on WhatsApp before pickup so there are no surprises at booking.
Do you deliver to Beach, Chevayur or out to Wayanad?
Calicut city pin codes (Beach, West Hill, Chevayur, Mavoor Road, Eranhipalam) are direct DTDC last-mile from the Calicut hub. Wayanad — Kalpetta, Sulthan Bathery, Mananthavady — adds 1–2 working days because the parcel goes by road up the ghat. We confirm realistic delivery dates upfront once you give us the recipient PIN.
Tell us the rough weight. We’ll come back in minutes.
