What it costs by weight
Find your parcel’s chargeable weight on the left and read across. That is the carriage price our calculator uses — anything added on top of it is listed under what gets added, so the two together are the whole bill.

What gets added
These land on top of the prices above. A discount, if you have one, comes off before any tax is worked out.
- Fuel surcharge8.5%of the carriage price
A carrier surcharge that moves with fuel prices. Charged on the carriage line only, which is the convention.
- Tax (18%)18%of everything we charge
Charged on this business's own charges after any discount. Not on customs duty, which is not ours.
Worth knowing before you book
- Chargeable weight is the greater of what the parcel weighs and what it takes up. A light, bulky box is charged on its size. Both numbers are shown to you before you order.
- Every price on this page is a sample. No carrier has quoted this business yet, so these rates are placeholders for building against — which is why every service level is named “Sample”.
- Customs duty is never included. Whatever the destination country charges is set by its own customs authority, and neither this table nor anybody here decides it. Each route says who pays it.
- Packing and pickup are separate lines, shown at their full amount even when an offer covers them, so you can see what you were given rather than a quietly smaller total.
- Nothing is charged when you place a parcel. Paying for shipping is not connected yet; placing fixes the price and your choices so the thing being paid for stops moving.
What happens, step by step
The published process this service follows — the same steps your order status will report against. Times are happy-path figures, stated, never promised.
- 1Booking confirmedhappy path 2 h
Your parcel is booked. The next steps are ours to run, and you will see each one land here.
- 2Tell us what's insidehappy path 24 h
The customs declaration starts with what you told us is in the box. You can add or correct it any time before the parcel is packed.
- 3Collection is bookedhappy path 12 h
A collection window is booked against the branch that will collect, or you have chosen to drop the parcel off yourself.
- 4We collect your parcelhappy path 24 h
Either our courier comes to the address you gave us, or you drop the parcel at the branch. Nothing moves until we physically have it.
- 5It has reached ushappy path 12 h
The parcel is physically with us now, off the collection list and onto the packing bench.
- 6We check what you told ushappy path 12 h
What arrived is checked against what you declared, before anything is packed for an international flight.
- 7We pack and weigh ithappy path 24 h
We pack the parcel properly for an international flight and put it on the scale. The weight we measure is the weight you are charged for, and if it differs from the estimate we tell you before anything ships.
- 8We prepare the paperworkhappy path 24 h
The contents declaration and the customs forms, filled in from what you told us. Getting these wrong is the most common reason a parcel is held abroad, so we would rather take a day over it.
- 9Clearing customs to leave Indiahappy path 12 h
Indian customs clears the consignment for export. This is a government step, not ours, so we give a range rather than a date.

The parcel has arrived in the destination country and is moving to customs.
- 14Going through customshappy path 12 h

The parcel has reached the local facility that will deliver it.

No published reviews for send a parcel to the uk yet
This fills itself from approved reviews left on completed orders, and there are none yet — so there is nothing here. We would rather show you an empty section than testimonials we wrote ourselves, which is the same reason the figures on the homepage appear only once there is something real to count.
When the first ones arrive they will appear here as written, including the ones that go badly, with our answer underneath.
Until then, read exactly how each service worksWhat cannot go to Sample — United Kingdom
The standard rules every international carrier applies to parcels from India, plus what the border on the other side allows in. The order form refuses the worst of these as you pack — this page is the fuller story, so nothing is discovered after the box is taped.
Never travels
- Aerosols, compressed gases and lightersPressurised containers cannot travel by air freight at all.
- Perfumes, nail polish and other flammablesFlammable liquids are refused by every air carrier, in any quantity.
- Fireworks, crackers and explosivesProhibited outright, including party poppers and sparklers.
- Loose lithium batteries and power banksFire risk in the hold. Batteries may only travel installed inside a device.
- Currency, cheques and payment cardsCash and negotiable instruments are prohibited in parcels.
- Weapons, ammunition and replicasIncluding toy guns that resemble real ones, knives beyond cutlery, and parts.
- Narcotics and controlled substancesProhibited, and the sender is legally responsible for the contents declared.
- Live animals, ivory and wildlife productsCITES-protected material — including peacock feathers and certain shells — is seized.
- Meat, dairy and fresh produceAnimal and fresh plant products are refused at the US border by USDA rules.
- Plants, seeds and soilRequire import permits that parcels do not get; refused or destroyed on arrival.
- Counterfeit goodsImitation branded items are seized and can bring penalties for the sender.
- Hazardous chemicals, poisons and mercuryIncluding household bleach, pesticides and thermometers containing mercury.
Travels with conditions
- MedicinesPersonal-use quantities only, with the prescription in the box, in the recipient’s name.
- Packaged dry foodShop-sealed, within date, clearly labelled. Sweets and namkeen travel well; anything homemade does not.
- Ghee, pickles, oils and pastesMany carriers refuse liquids and semi-liquids; where accepted they must be leak-proof and declared.
- ElectronicsBatteries installed in the device only, with the invoice. No spare batteries in the same box.
- Jewellery and valuablesDeclare the full value, and arrange protection cover before they travel — declaring alone insures nothing.
- Alcohol and tobaccoHeavily restricted into the US and refused by most parcel services; assume no unless we confirm otherwise.
- Religious and festival itemsIdols and dry pooja items travel fine. Camphor, ghee lamps and loose powders are flammables — they do not.
The last word is never ours: the destination's customs authority decides at the border, whatever any list says. Declare the contents honestly — the declaration you make while packing is what protects you if a box is opened — and if you are unsure about an item, ask us before it is packed rather than after.
