Overview
Road courier moves your parcels by surface transport, which usually costs less than air for the same shipment. It suits regular dispatches, bulk orders and heavier parcels that are not urgent. We collect from your address, book the shipment with a courier partner whose network covers the destination pincode and keep you updated until it is delivered. Businesses that send parcels often can set up regular pickups with us, so every dispatch goes through one point of contact. You get an estimated transit time with every quote. [[TBC: confirm pincode coverage]]
