Cheap Parcel Delivery to USA From India
There are hundreds of individuals and companies in India who send parcels to USA. Every time they think of sending something to USA, the first question which comes to their mind is “How can I send my parcel to USA at the cheapest price possible?”
The common stop to this we all take is ask our friends who know someone who has sent something in the past to USA and how much they sent if for. If we don’t get a satisfactory response from this method the second thing we do is start typing in cheap parcel delivery to USA. Then call about 3 or 5 companies on an average and whoever is cheapest go with them. Then when something goes wrong we blame them (the courier companies) for it.
The best way to send a parcel to United States from India is to be ready with the information before we go out searching for prices. Here are a few points which will always help you.
- Pack your shipment safely and securely and note down all the items which are there in the package with description quantity and its value. For example … 3 x t-shirts INR 600, 1 x jeans INR 200, 2 x Pair of shoes INR etc. Don’t waste time mentioning the Brand of the items. It’s normally not needed on small shipments.
- Once it’s packed in a box or a suitcase use a measuring tape and take the dimensions (length x width x height) in centimetres and note it down on a piece of paper. If you have a bathroom scale at home or office use it and note the dead weight next to the dimensions which lets say is 12 kg
- Next thing you do is multiply all the dimensions to calculate the volumetric weight of this small parcel using this formula which all courier companies will do. Through this you will know how much your actual chargeable weight is for which you will be paying for. The formula is simple. Length x Width x Height / 5000. If your dimensions is 50 cm x 40 cm x 40 cm it will be calculated like this 50*40*40/5000 = 16. 16 in kilograms is your volumetric weight for your single parcel. Now if you’re dead weight is 12 kg and your volumetric weight is 16 then your chargeable weight will be 16 kilograms. You will be paying for chargeable weight whichever is higher amongst the two. Same way if you have two or more parcels the higher amongst the two (Dead and Volumetric Weight) of each parcel will be chargeable.
- Once you are equipped with this information look out for companies who always ask you for your dimensions as they normally won’t surprise you after they pick up your parcel on the weight. With the above method you won’t face any problems when someone tells you your weight is more than what you actually quoted.
- When looking online beware of companies with fake reviews
- Try and judge companies with the professionalism they offer. Make sure they are a legal establishment rather than a very small company as if your shipment gets lost or stolen on its way to USA they won’t even talk to you properly.
- Make sure you ask the courier companies if there is something you need to remove before sending the shipment which is not allowed in USA. Is there anything dutiable which you should know? Most professionals will answer this question to you instantly.
