Tips to pay less
- Keep documents under 50 g — one flat price across India.
- Use a slim envelope instead of a box when you can.
- Compare with private couriers for parcels above 500 g.
Speed Post vs private couriers
For documents and small parcels up to 500 g, Speed Post's fixed price is usually lower than private couriers' rates. Private couriers charge by billable weight — the higher of the actual weight and the box's volumetric weight — so a light but large box can cost more than you expect. Our rate calculator shows both the Speed Post price and the billable weight for your box.
