Protective packing and accurate declarations reduce avoidable problems, but carriers and authorities still decide inspection, duty, clearance and delivery.
Book after you pack — general courier USA, pickles USA, baggage USA, documents USA.
International couriers bill the higher of what the scale shows (actual kg) or what your box “weighs” by size (volumetric kg). A light but huge carton can cost more than you expect.
Once dimensions are set, book the right vertical: pickle courier, student baggage, documents or general international courier — each page shows packing standards for that category.
Example: A box 50 × 40 × 30 cm → 60,000 ÷ 5000 = 12 kg volumetric. If the scale shows only 6 kg, you still pay for 12 kg chargeable weight.
Always measure your box before calling us — the size calculator on our website does this for you in seconds.
Quick rules our Hyderabad crew applies when they reach your door.
Rigid envelope or hard cardboard — do not fold originals; keep stacks flat.
Airtight jars, absorbent lining, outer carton marked FOOD — THIS SIDE UP.
Roll to save space; seal in ziplocks; avoid loose buttons snagging belts.
Original retail box if you still have it; bubble wrap on all sides; mark FRAGILE.
Each piece wrapped; foam corners; outer label FRAGILE — HANDLE WITH CARE.
Factory seals visible; prescription and pharmacy bill on top — see our medicine courier flow.
Do not rely on a frozen threshold or percentage. Treatment changes by date, product classification, origin, value, quantity, destination and entry type.

Packing, volumetric weight & customs from Hyderabad.
Multiply length × width × height in centimetres and divide by 5000 for typical DHL and FedEx air express. The courier bills whichever is higher — scale kg or volumetric kg. Use our dimensional calculator after packing.
Usually the receiver pays duty and taxes to the carrier before delivery unless you arrange a prepaid duties service with us — confirm who pays when booking.
The carrier normally contacts the receiver for paperwork or payment. We send AWB tracking on WhatsApp so you can respond quickly — destination customs makes the final clearance decision.
We prepare the commercial invoice and customs paperwork — you review the item list and sign where needed instead of drafting forms alone.
Sometimes yes when food is sealed and described honestly — we may suggest split boxes if leakage risk or customs wording is cleaner separate. Ask before sealing.
Undeclared or high-value electronics, medicines without supporting papers, restricted foods, loose liquids and shipments above value thresholds — declare clearly and WhatsApp photos when unsure.
Personal items not meant for resale are usually gifts — inventory or stock is commercial. Describe honestly and we advise wording for your destination.
Yes — our Hyderabad team brings bubble wrap, corner protectors and cartons at pickup when you book fragile handling.
Carrier liability limits apply by tariff — ask us about declared value and carrier protection options when you book.
Often yes if we reopen before the carrier uplifts from Hyderabad — we re-weigh and update paperwork. Tell us before the AWB is finalised.
