Before you book
The USA lane is zoned
United States delivery is priced by zone rather than by a single national rate, so the calculator asks which zone the receiver falls in. Pick the zone from the dropdown when you book and the quote reprices against it.
Food and personal care need care
Packaged food, supplements and cosmetics are the items most often held at the US border. Send them sealed in original retail packaging with a clear ingredient list, and describe them accurately on the invoice. A vague description is the single most common reason a parcel is delayed.
Every parcel needs a commercial invoice
US customs clears on the paperwork, not the box. Delivo generates the commercial invoice from what you declare at booking, so declare each item, its quantity and a realistic value. Under-declaring to reduce duty risks the shipment, not just the duty.
Sending a parcel to USA: common questions
How long does a courier from India to the USA take?
Transit is typically 5 to 7 days from pickup to delivery on the standard lane, subject to customs clearance at both ends. The live estimate for your zone shows on the booking screen before you pay.
What is the cheapest way to send a parcel from India to the USA?
For anything above about half a kilogram, per-kg air courier is normally cheaper than a document rate and far faster than sea freight. The USA lane is bracketed by weight, so the effective per-kg rate falls as the parcel gets heavier. Consolidating two small boxes into one is usually cheaper than sending both.
Can I send Indian food and snacks to the USA?
Commercially packaged, sealed and shelf stable food is generally acceptable. Home cooked food, fresh produce, meat and dairy are not. Declare food precisely on the invoice, because a generic description like gift items is what gets a parcel opened.
How is the courier charge to the USA calculated?
On chargeable weight, which is the greater of the actual weight and the volumetric weight of the box. Volumetric weight is length x width x height in centimetres divided by 5000. The rate calculator applies the same brackets our operations team sees, so the figure you get before booking is the figure you pay. Indian GST of 18 percent is added on top of the freight.
Do you pick the parcel up from my address?
Yes. Book online and hand the parcel to the pickup partner at your door. Pickup covers addresses across India, and the domestic leg to our Mumbai export hub is included in the price you were quoted.
Who pays customs duty at the other end?
Duties and taxes in the destination country are set by that country's customs authority and are payable by the receiver. Delivo does not set them and cannot waive them. Your Delivo charge covers the freight, the export formalities at Mumbai and GST in India.
Can I track a shipment to the USA?
Yes. One Delivo AWB covers both the domestic leg and the international leg, so a single number follows the parcel from your door to delivery. Track it from the tracking page or from Shipments in your dashboard.
