Sending parcels from India to UK

From students in London and Leicester to NHS doctors and nurses across the country, the UK has a large South Indian community that depends on parcels from home. We collect from your doorstep, prepare the customs invoice and deliver across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Book online or on WhatsApp, and our pickup executive collects from your home in Chennai — or from partner locations across Tamil Nadu and South India. We weigh and check the parcel, prepare the invoice with your KYC, and hand it to the fastest international network for your chosen service. You get one AWB number to track from pickup to delivery.

Customs, duties & documents for UK

Gifts above the UK gift allowance and all purchased goods may attract import VAT and duty as per UK customs rules. These are collected from the receiver before delivery unless you choose a duty-paid (DDP) service.

From India, every export needs the sender's KYC (Aadhaar, PAN, passport, voter ID or driving licence) and an invoice listing each item and its value — we prepare it with you. Documents and certificates travel flat in secure envelopes. Never sent: perfumes, power banks, loose batteries, gold and cash (full list).
