Whether you are running an online business or simply sending a gift, courier services make life easier — if you know the ropes.

Pack it right

Use sturdy boxes, proper cushioning and clear labels. Fragile items need double-wrap.

Pick the right courier

For speed, use Pathao or Redx. For volume, Steadfast is often cheaper.

Always get a tracking ID

Without it, a missing parcel is very hard to recover.

COD handling

Check the payout cycle and return policy before committing.
