PAPERWORK A separate rate ladder

Document Courier from Bangalore — priced by the envelope, not the box

Contracts, transcripts, tender bids, certificates. Paper is billed on its own ladder that runs 500 g, 1, 2 and 3 kg — and knowing where that ladder beats the parcel rate is worth more than any discount we could offer you.

The document ladder, and when to use it

Documents are not priced like parcels. They have their own four-rung ladder — 500 g, 1 kg, 2 kg and 3 kg — and it does not behave the way most people assume.

At 500 g the document rate is the cheapest thing on the entire card. ₹104 within Bangalore, ₹127 to the rest of Karnataka, ₹156 across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Goa, ₹219 to Delhi, Mumbai or Kolkata, ₹242 to NCR and the rest of India. GST is already in every one of those.

At exactly 1 kg the document rate and the parcel rate are identical — ₹196 to the rest of Karnataka, ₹236 across the south, ₹363 to the metros, ₹415 to the rest of India. There is nothing to choose between them.

At 2 kg the document rate is the cheaper of the two, because parcels have no 2 kg slab and get rounded up to 3 kg. Two kilos of paper to the southern states is ₹398 as a document against ₹519 as a parcel; to Delhi, ₹651 against ₹657; to most of India, ₹761 against ₹830.

At 3 kg it flips and the parcel rate wins everywhere — ₹519 against ₹559 across the south, ₹657 against ₹939 to Delhi, ₹830 against ₹1,106 to most of India. At or above 3 kg, box it and book it as a parcel; above 3 kg the document ladder stops existing anyway. The rate page covers slabs and volumetric weight in full, and each destination page carries the exact ladder for that lane.

FAQs

Questions people ask

What is the cheapest way to send a single document?

Keep it under 500 g — ₹104 within Bangalore, ₹127 elsewhere in Karnataka, ₹156 across the southern states, ₹219 to Delhi, Mumbai or Kolkata, GST included. A few sheets in a sleeve are nowhere near 500 g, so almost every ordinary document qualifies.

My bundle is about 3 kg. Document or parcel?

Parcel, without exception. At 3 kg the parcel slab is cheaper on every zone — ₹519 against ₹559 across the south, ₹657 against ₹939 to Delhi, ₹830 against ₹1,106 to most of India. Box it.

Is there a faster document service?

Yes on most lanes. Premium documents are ₹403 for 500 g across the south, ₹432 to the metros and NCR and ₹496 to the rest of India, and are next day to Delhi and NCR. Karnataka lanes sell no Premium document at all — only the standard one, already one to two days.

Why is there no 500 g document rate to the north-east?

That zone's standard document ladder starts at 1 kg, at ₹553. The only sub-kilo option is the Premium document at ₹496 — which, unusually, costs less than the standard 1 kg rung. It is the one place on the card where the fast tier is also the cheap one.

How do you handle confidential papers and irreplaceable originals?

Sealed in a tamper-evident sleeve at the counter and booked with signature-required delivery, so the proof of delivery names who accepted it. For originals with no copy, ask for declared-value cover — standard carrier liability is limited and will not reflect what they are worth to you.
