India: what it costs to send a parcel to India, and what shipping to India is quoted at

Companies with a published India price

A company is listed here because its own live page for this destination answered at the linked URL on the date shown, never because a directory says it delivers there. Prices are the company's own published figures unless its page states otherwise, and the surcharges named in the scope note above are added to every one of them.

What the India record shows

Parcel2Go publishes £9.44 for DPD Lite, the cheapest of the 5 services its India page prices for the parcel it quotes by default, read on 10 September 2026.

The same page prices Evri Standard Parcelshop at £11.99 and Royal Mail Tracked Collection Large Letter at £12.05.

Parcelforce Worldwide publishes its own directory page for India with service and customs detail and no price, which is why it counts as coverage here and not as a figure.

Import duty and import VAT are charged at the destination and are on top of the figure here, and a customs declaration is required on every parcel.

India is priced here through a road-and-air hybrid, which is why the page's own estimate is longer than the price suggests.
