Shipment answers
Answers Before You Ship Urgent Cargo
What is the fastest way to courier a package domestically in India?
Next Flight Out (NFO) air cargo is the fastest method, utilizing the first available commercial flight to deliver packages door-to-door within 8 to 12 hours.
Can I get a package delivered to another city on the same day?
YES. Same-day interstate delivery is possible between major airport-connected metros if booked and picked up before morning airline cut-off times.
What does "Next Flight Out" (NFO) logistics mean?
NFO logistics means your high-priority shipment skips standard warehousing and consolidation to be placed immediately on the very next commercial flight departing to the destination city.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long does priority air cargo take from Delhi to Mumbai?
Total door-to-door transit time for priority air cargo between Delhi and Mumbai is typically 8 to 10 hours.
Is overnight cargo delivery available for Tier-2 cities?
YES. Overnight air-to-surface multi-modal routing allows shipments to reach Tier-2 cities by the next morning.
What is the average transit time for express B2B logistics?
Standard express B2B logistics takes 24 to 48 hours, whereas emergency line-down logistics reduces this to under 12 hours.
What happens if a flight is delayed or canceled?
Your logistics provider will instantly re-route the cargo onto the next available airline or switch to an expedited hot-shot road vehicle.
Can I get a guaranteed delivery time for critical parts?
YES. Premium emergency logistics providers offer time-definite guarantees (e.g., "Before 4:00 PM") backed by real-time flight tracking.
Do express shipping services operate on Sundays?
YES. Specialized emergency logistics companies operate 24/7/365, including Sundays and national holidays, unlike standard couriers.
What is the late-evening cut-off for next-morning delivery?
For next-morning delivery between major metros, cargo must usually be picked up and processed by 8:00 PM.
What is the maximum weight allowed on domestic commercial flights?
Individual boxes are generally capped at 150 kg for narrow-body aircraft, though larger palletized cargo can fly on wide-body planes.
How do I ship an oversized package urgently?
Oversized packages are routed via wide-body aircraft or dedicated point-to-point express vehicles to bypass standard size restrictions.
Is there a minimum weight requirement for priority air cargo?
NO. There is no minimum weight limit; services handle everything from a 500-gram critical document to multi-ton machine components.
How do I know if my package is considered oversized?
Any package exceeding 120 cm in length or 80 cm in height is generally categorized as oversized by domestic commercial airlines.
Are wooden crates accepted for domestic air freight?
YES. Provided the wooden crates are ISPM-15 certified (fumigated/heat-treated) and have clear forklift access points.
Can fragile glass components be sent via priority air cargo?
YES. But they must be packed using a "box-in-a-box" method with ample shock-absorbing padding between layers.
Why is emergency air cargo more expensive than standard courier services?
Emergency cargo bypasses consolidation hubs, utilizing dedicated vehicles and premium airline space bookings to prioritize absolute speed over cost.
What are the typical components of an air freight invoice?
An air freight invoice includes the base freight rate, fuel surcharges, airport handling fees, first/last-mile charges, and GST.
What is a fuel surcharge in B2B logistics?
A fuel surcharge is a variable fee tied directly to current domestic fuel prices, protecting freight rates from sudden market spikes.
Are airport handling fees included in door-to-door quotes?
YES. Comprehensive premium logistics providers include all terminal handling and airport security fees in their initial door-to-door quotes.
