Send a parcel from Udaipur to Siliguri. We pick up free.

Surface is 5 working days, express 3. The honest version: surface goes Udaipur → Mumbai hub → Kolkata sortation → Siliguri last-mile by road and rail; express adds the Bagdogra air leg in place of the Kolkata-Siliguri ground move. Weather (monsoon especially), Kolkata-region strikes and festival weeks can stretch surface by a day or two; express is more stable. For anything time-sensitive — exam papers, signed contracts, wedding-day pieces — book express and book early in the week.

Dry sealed tea (Darjeeling, Assam, Nilgiri samples) ships as commercial cargo, not personal courier. Commercial invoice describing contents and declared value, KYC for sender and consignee, and packaging that survives 3–5 days transit. Sealed factory pouches inside a corrugated outer carton are standard. We don't carry tea oils, essential-oil tea derivatives or fresh leaves on this lane. For recurring B2B sampling we can hold a fixed pickup slot — call us with the volume and we'll work it out.

Yes — Siliguri is the gateway. DTDC's Siliguri hub forwards consignments to Gangtok, Bagdogra cantonment, Phuentsholing border, Kalimpong and Darjeeling via last-mile partners; Bhutan inbound has its own customs handling. Add roughly 1–2 days on top of the Siliguri transit for these onward addresses, longer for remote NE addresses. For specifics on each onward destination, see the individual lane pages — we'll point you to the right one if you tell us where exactly the parcel is going.
