Do You Deliver to My Pin Code?

Yes, every serviceable pin code in India, for a flat 70 rupees with no distance surcharge. What changes by location is timing, and less than you expect.

Yes. Every serviceable pin code in India, for a flat ₹70, whether you are in Gurgaon or a district town in Assam.

What changes by location is the timing, and it changes less than most people expect.

What the flat rate means

Most sellers charge by distance or by weight, so a parcel to a metro costs less than the same parcel to a smaller town. That structure quietly taxes the places that already have fewer options.

Here it is ₹70 to every serviceable pin code, on every order, regardless of format or size. A print pack and a hardcover album cost the same to deliver, to anywhere.

Typical distance-based Here
Metro Lowest ₹70
Tier-2 city Higher ₹70
Small town Higher still ₹70
Remote pin code Highest, or refused ₹70

What one ₹70 covers

The fee is per order and per address, not per item, which settles a few common questions:

Several things, one address. A magazine, a diary and a print pack going to the same house travel together for one ₹70.

Extra copies. A second copy of the same book, asked for at the proof stage, goes in the same parcel under the same fee.

Two addresses. An order has one delivery address, so a gift for your sister in Pune and another for your parents in Lucknow are two orders, each with its own ₹70.

Paying from abroad. You can order and pay online from anywhere; the delivery address just has to be in India.

What actually changes by location

Order to doorstep. 5 to 14 days from order to doorstep nationally, 5 to 12 to Delhi NCR. NCR is quicker because that is where it is made and packed; everywhere else is the same courier network. Once dispatched, the parcel spends 2–3 days reaching Delhi NCR and 3–5 days reaching the rest of India.

Note how narrow that gap is. The larger variable is not where you live — it is which day you order, because dispatch runs weekly, on Mondays. A Friday order catches that week; a Saturday order waits. Ordering for a fixed date →

The day you order, worked through

Assuming your photographs arrive promptly and you approve the proof when it comes, this is how the calendar plays out:

You order on It is dispatched Reaches Delhi NCR Reaches the rest of India
Friday The coming Monday Wednesday or Thursday Thursday to Saturday
Monday The following Monday Wednesday or Thursday that week Thursday to Saturday that week
Saturday or Sunday Not the coming Monday, the one after A week later than a Friday order A week later than a Friday order

Two things stand out. A Monday order and a Friday order leave on the same day, so ordering early in the week buys you time to gather photographs and look at the proof properly, not an earlier parcel. And a weekend order costs a full week, wherever you live — more than the difference between Noida and Nagaland.

Where we do not deliver

Outside India. That is the real limit and it is worth stating plainly rather than burying. There is no international shipping.

If the recipient is abroad, the working route is to have it made and delivered inside India, then carried out by whoever visits next — free, no customs, and it weighs almost nothing in a bag.

If they are coming home for a visit — a wedding in the family, Diwali with their parents — the simpler route is often to deliver to the house they will be staying in. Aim for it to land a few days after they arrive rather than on the day they fly in, so a parcel running to the far end of the window does not arrive after they have gone.

If your pin code is remote

Courier networks reach essentially everywhere, but the last leg to genuinely remote pin codes can run to the far end of the window. A few things help:

Order earlier than the arithmetic suggests. Add a few days for a remote address and a week during festival season, when the whole network slows.

Give a landmark, not just an address. In smaller towns the delivery agent is far more likely to find you by landmark than by pin code alone.

Give us a recipient’s number that will actually be answered. Checkout takes your own WhatsApp number, so send theirs separately — in the “Anything we should know?” note or on WhatsApp. Delivery agents in smaller towns often ring before the last stretch. If the recipient is elderly, travelling or keeps their phone on silent, a missed call can send the parcel back to the hub for another day.

Check the pin code itself. Neighbouring villages and new housing colonies sometimes sit under a different pin code from the town they are named after. A wrong one routes the parcel to the wrong delivery office, which is the slowest mistake to unwind. The India Post pin code search, or the pin code on a recent letter to that address, settles it.

If you are unsure whether an address is reachable in time for a particular date, send the pin code on WhatsApp before ordering and you will get an honest answer rather than a guess.

Once it is on its way, a tracking link arrives by email, and the tracking page shows the same status from the tracking code and the last four digits of the order’s phone number — useful when the parcel is heading somewhere you cannot easily ring.

Delivering somewhere that is not your house

You can send it straight to the recipient — put their address at checkout and it never passes through you. Office and hostel addresses both work; both are covered in the ordering guide.

The address can be corrected any time before dispatch and not after, so it is worth checking early. Changing an order after placing it →

Two destinations behave differently enough to be worth their own pages: a workplace, and a hostel or PG. Delivering to an office address → · Gift delivery to a hostel →

Frequently asked
