I have been trying to find a courier service to India like DTDC, Bombino, Etc. Somehow I havent found anything like that only discounted rates from UPS Fedex which are still very expensive. Does anyone know of any couriers to India that is reliable and cheap? Thanks!

Gotta thank Freddie for this ..... used International Cargo Services .... they send the packages through UPS and they charge $ 27 ....... letter reached Delhi in 3 days !!!

Thanks ftfl. I called International Cargo and others and they still a bit expensive. They offering me the same rate as I get thru eshipper.com and dont have pick up. I was hoping there is something comparative to DTDC in NY which charges $14 to Bombay. I am getting $39 from International Cargo/eshipper. I am surprised none of these couriers have their own on-board service like for New York, guess the volumes arent enough and so they have to use UPS or Fedex.

Thanks again!

I was in touch with DTDC and they have no branch office set up as yet. In a month's time they will be thinking of opening one here too. It will be for the GTA area. They will have their own envelopes and packages and the cost will run as close as you mentioned in your response, but a Canadian Equivalent. Got to wait and see. ($20)

Good Luck.

Freddie.

I think raj1008 may have used the internet to search for Internationl Cargo's number and called. That I believe is a different orgainsation and would give you the same rate as eShipper/ Canada post etc.

I called the International Cargo no given on this website and they quoted $ 27 for courier to India and you can use UPS tracking number.

Please correct me if iam wrong.

Hi Rajiv,

I used the number given by ftfl and they confirmed the same address. I am sending a 200grms package so maybe $27 is true for letters.

Cheers
