1) Mumbai to UK Courier Charges (Indicative Rate Card)

Actual pricing depends on weight/volumetric weight, service speed (Economy/Standard/Express), and destination. Use this as a quick guide; click Check Courier Charges or Request a Quick Quote on our site for an exact price.

*Indicative, all-inclusive courier rates vary by service type, fuel surcharge, remote-area surcharge, and GST. Duties/taxes in the UK (if any) are usually paid by the receiver. Ask our team for a firm quote within minutes.

Pro-tip: Shipping slightly heavier (e.g., 6–10 kg) often reduces your effective per-kg price.

2) How We Calculate Your Final Cost

Your invoice is based on the higher of actual weight vs. volumetric weight.

• Volumetric Weight (Air): (Length × Width × Height in cm) ÷ 5000
• Example: A box 50 × 40 × 30 cm = 60,000 cm³ → 60,000 / 5000 = 12 kg (volumetric).
  If actual weight is 9 kg, 12 kg will be billed.

Other possible components:

• Fuel & security surcharge (carrier-dependent)
• Remote Area Surcharge (applies to select UK postcodes)
• GST in India
• Customs duty/VAT in the UK, where applicable (usually paid by receiver)

Our quote engine and team explain every line item upfront—no surprises.

3) Delivery Time from Mumbai to the UK

Choose the speed that fits your need:

• Express: 24–72 hours (best for urgent documents, gifts, time-sensitive items)
