dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted February 20, 2012 ^ Just declare it as a used mobile/gps device with value below 1K. A indemnity letter needs to be given by you for this (something as given below). They will take it for 250~300Rs for first 500gm. Dated: 13-03-2009 AWB: DECLARATION LETTER CUM INDEMNITY LETTER To, Blue Dart Express Ltd Mumbai / Meerut This is to certify that the parcel contains _____________USED GPS DEVICE WINDOWS __________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ For PERSONAL (purpose).

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted February 20, 2012 Not suggesting anyone to use this for very high value phones, Do it at your own risk. But may be a viable option for some. Just sharing my experience. Recently i sent a phone through Speed Post. It was packed very well in a box with plastic and all. The guy at the counter did not bother to even ask what it contains. Just took it, made the slip. Only Rs 50 (Weight was approx 400 gms). Then you can track it Online. The parcel was delivered within 48 hours from Mumbai to a city in Gujarat. Funny part: Online tracking was still showing it's reached the delivery destination in the evening whereas it was actually delivered that day in morning.

They will take it for 250~300Rs for first 500gm. At least in bangalore, no way its possible, since they clearly says even if declare it less or sign the form, they were not ready to accept the mobile phones and electronic items. Even i'm unable lie saying its some thing else, since they were not accepting prepacked items and asking me to pack infront of them May be speedpost could be the option as rajan said... will try that next Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
me_saket 73 Report post Posted February 20, 2012 I had lost around 4k item. i had sent it via speedpost. even after cotinues complain, they haven't return material nor delivered and even not paid me back postage, which as per thir rule they shud. i came to to via their employee, it was stolen by other employee of their department. even if declare it's phone or electronic item they wont book, if they book, it may be scanned at some speedpost center and then disallow delivery. or it may get stolen. so use it at ur risk. earlier my phone got delivered.

mujeebrehman 78 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 Through last 2 yrs of online shipp8ng, I find aramex the best. But yet again aramex does not accept mobile phones. They asked me it can be done if I have an account with them. And I am pretty sure they will not be interested in customers with 2 or 3 shipments a month. Btw i have a close friend whose uncle is the country head of aramex I guess I will have to use some influence to send my one or two shipments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sujit_k 141 Report post Posted July 13, 2012 I discovered something yesterday which i believe is the best service I have seen so far. I had to send a Bluetooth headset + A mobile handset + A digicam to my girlfriend. The total weight of the parcel came to around 990Grams. From Bhubaneswar to New Delhi Fedex Quoted --- Rs 500 Bluedart Quoted -- Rs 450 DTDC quoted -- Rs 190 First Flight Quoted --- Rs 190 All of them promised a delivery time of 2 business days. But finally I went for our Sarkari India Post Express Parcel Post Service. They charged only Rs 79 for 990Grams and didnt even enquire once what was there inside. Anyways the Item was booked on 12/July/2012 at 12:40Pm in Bhubaneswar and Was delivered today on 13/July/2012 @ 16:10HRS in New Delhi... To India Post... They are surely giving a tough competition to courier companies, I must say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
