5 Ways to Send a Parcel from Mumbai
1. Book an Online Courier (Fastest & Easiest)
Services like Pinified, Delhivery, and DTDC let you book a courier online with doorstep pickup. No need to visit a courier office.

2. India Post (Speed Post / Parcel Post)
Visit any post office in Mumbai. Speed Post starts at ₹35 for up to 500g. Cheapest option but requires in-person visit and longer delivery times (3–7 days).
3. Express Same-Day Delivery (Within Mumbai)
For urgent intra-city deliveries, Pinified Express dispatches a 2-wheeler or 3-wheeler in 15 minutes. Starting at ₹52. Ideal for documents, food parcels, or forgotten items.
4. Courier Drop-Off Centres
DTDC has 1,000+ centres in Mumbai. Blue Dart, FedEx, and Professional Couriers also have drop-off locations. Check Google Maps for the nearest one.
5. Bus Parcel Service
For Mumbai-to-Pune or Mumbai-to-Goa, bus parcel services (via MSRTC or private operators) cost ₹50–150 for same-day delivery. Good for heavy items but limited routes.

Packaging Tips for Safe Delivery
- Use a corrugated box for fragile items — wrap each item in bubble wrap
- Seal all edges with packing tape — not cello tape, which peels in transit
- Remove old shipping labels to avoid confusion at sorting centres
- Write the delivery address clearly on the outside, including pincode and phone number
- Don't over-pack — minimize empty space to reduce volumetric weight charges
- For documents — use a rigid envelope or cardboard mailer, not just a paper envelope
