DTDC (Desk to Desk Courier & Cargo) was founded in 1990 by Subhasish Chakraborty in Bangalore, Karnataka. It was the first private courier company in India to introduce the franchise model β€” a decision that allowed the company to rapidly expand across every corner of the country without building company-owned offices everywhere.

Today, DTDC operates through a network of over 12,000 franchise partners covering 14,300+ pin codes across India. The company handles over 170 million parcels annually, with 75% of its customer base comprising e-commerce businesses. DTDC has a strategic partnership with GeoPost (a subsidiary of La Poste, France’s national postal service), giving it access to delivery networks across Europe and beyond.

πŸ’° DTDC courier charges

DTDC charges are based on actual weight or volumetric weight β€” whichever is higher. Rates vary by zone (local, within-state, metro-to-metro, rest of India) and service tier. Rates below are approximate retail rates; business/contracted rates are typically 15–30% lower.

* All rates are approximate. GST at 18% is charged separately. COD service adds β‚Ή30–₹60 extra per shipment. Air express (DTDC Blue/Prime) is 40–60% higher than surface rates. Use official DTDC rate calculator at dtdc.in for exact quotes.

Volumetric weight formula (air & international):
Volumetric weight = (Length cm Γ— Width cm Γ— Height cm) Γ· 5000

Example: A box of 40Γ—30Γ—20 cm weighing 1 kg β†’ volumetric weight = 4.8 kg β†’ you are charged for 4.8 kg

πŸ’‘ Tips to save money on DTDC shipping
πŸ“¦

Use compact packaging

Reducing box dimensions by 2–3 inches on each side can drop you into a lower volumetric weight slab, saving β‚Ή30–₹80 per shipment

πŸ’΅

Choose prepaid over COD

COD adds β‚Ή30–₹60 per shipment. Switching to prepaid orders removes this surcharge entirely

πŸ“Š

Negotiate bulk rates

Businesses shipping 50+ parcels/month can negotiate contracted rates 15–30% below retail prices

πŸ“…

Avoid peak season surcharges

During Diwali and other festivals, courier companies apply surge pricing. Book a few days early to avoid peak-season rates

πŸš›

Use surface over air

DTDC Lite (surface) is 40–60% cheaper than DTDC Blue (air express) for the same route β€” good for non-urgent, heavy items

πŸ›‘οΈ

Declare correct value

Under-declaring parcel value to save on insurance can backfire if the item is lost or damaged β€” always declare the actual value

❓ Frequently asked questions
DTDC consignment numbers usually start with a letter (like Z, D, or B) followed by 8–11 digits β€” for example, Z12345678. Some older formats are purely numeric (10–12 digits). The number is printed on your booking receipt and also sent via SMS at the time of pickup.
New bookings take up to 24 hours to appear in the system. If it has been over 48 hours with no update, call DTDC customer care at +91 80 3300 4444 with your consignment number ready. They can trace the shipment internally through their hub network.
No β€” GST at 18% is charged separately on top of the base courier charges. The rates shown on DTDC’s rate card are pre-GST. So a β‚Ή100 shipment will actually cost β‚Ή118 after adding GST. For business customers, this GST is claimable as input tax credit (ITC).
DTDC typically makes 2–3 delivery attempts. You can call the local DTDC branch or customer care to reschedule a convenient delivery time. Alternatively, collect the parcel directly from their nearest branch by showing a valid government-issued ID and the tracking number.
Delivery time depends on the service and distance. DTDC Prime delivers next day within major cities. DTDC Blue (air) takes 1–3 days for most intercity routes. DTDC Plus takes 2–4 days, and DTDC Lite (surface) takes 3–7 days. Remote pin codes may take an additional 1–2 days.
Volumetric weight is used for large but lightweight packages. DTDC calculates it as: (Length Γ— Width Γ— Height in cm) Γ· 5000 for air and international shipments. If volumetric weight is higher than actual weight, you are charged the volumetric amount. Compact packaging always saves money.
International rates vary by destination country, weight, and service type. For documents to the USA, rates start around β‚Ή800–₹1,200 for up to 500g. For a 1 kg parcel to USA, expect β‚Ή1,500–₹2,500. Use DTDC’s online rate calculator at dtdc.in or visit the nearest branch for exact quotes.
Send “TRACK [space] [your consignment number]” to 9230092300 from any Indian mobile number. You will receive an SMS with the latest shipment status within a few minutes. This service is free and works 24/7.
