The Government of India does not mandate GSTIN for sales under Rs. 20 lakhs annually.
Hence, we also do not mandate it. You can open an account and make shipments without providing a GSTIN to begin with. You will still need to provide Proof of Identity (POI) and Proof of Address (POA) as KYC. Typically PAN card and Aadhaar card can be provided as KYC. If additional KYC is needed at any point in the future, we will let you know about it by contacting you via phone / e-mail provided in your account.

KYC is needed for one-time initial setup of your account. KYC is needed prior to account usage for booking shipments. KYC should be completed within 15 days from the date of registration. Thanks.
For shipments within India:
Please upload PAN/GSTIN copy under My Profile.

Yes, there is a minimum reserve refundable deposit of is needed to start using our shipping services. This amount is kept in your ParcelGuru wallet and is adjusted against the shipping charges after shipment is manifested. If shipment is not picked or cancelled before it is picked there is no penalty and the amount will be refunded to your wallet. As the balance falls under the threshold as per your package, additional top up is needed to book shipments. The amount in your wallet is safe since it does not expire and if you decide in future to close your account then the amount leftover in wallet is refundable per T&C.

Top up your account with the minimum account balance as per your package. This balance is like talk-time and has lifetime validity. It is fully refundable at time of account closure. As long as you have bala¬nce you can make shipments. The cost of shipment is deducted from your balance on manifesting of the shipment.

You can enter 'COD Amount' on shipment details during the shipment booking. The shipment value that is declared will be the amount collected by the delivery executive at the time of delivery of your shipment.

The money collected from your customer during COD shipment delivery is credited into your bank account or ParcelGuru wallet depending on your preference (default is bank account). To get COD remittance into bank account you should update bank account details on your Account Profile

COD remittance is done on a daily basis except on Sundays and public holidays.
Remittance is collectively given along with report for all delivered COD orders.
COD Remittance is done by default on T+7 basis i.e., 7 business days after COD shipment is delivered.

You do not need to call anyone for pickup. When you book the shipment, a pickup request is automatically generated. Non-regular pickups are done within 1-2 business days of shipment booking. Shipments booked before 11 am are usually picked same business day or by next business day. Please ensure the shipment is packaged appropriately and shipment label stick to the package with barcode is clearly visible for scanning.

You can open a support ticket after you are registered as a client. If you are not registered with us then please send us email at customercare@myparcelguru.com

Billing is done initially based on the weight, dimensions and other data you chose while booking shipment. Subsequently if there is a difference between the actual shipment data (as reported by courier) and what was declared (by you while booking) then there you will be billed based on the courier-reported data. The revised charges are deducted from wallet. If you feel you have been charged more than your declared weight and/or dimensions then you can email us with a request to dispute the charge with the courier who picked and delivered your shipment. To create dispute with the courier we need
* Weight - Clear image of the box/parcel on weighing scale showing the weight clearly
* Length - Clear image of the box/parcel with ruler showing the length
* Breadth - Clear image of the box/parcel with ruler showing the breadth
* Height - Clear image of the box/parcel with ruler showing the height
* AWB/Barcode - Clear image of the box/parcel face up showing barcode, AWB
Sometimes it may not be possible to click every image - especially for high volume shippers. We request them to at least keep some images of products in standard size packing which we can use if actual images are not available.
Once the courier reverts on the dispute (usually within a few days) we will update you and reverse the incorrect charges if dispute is resolved in your favour. Please understand that to represent you properly in the dispute we need your support via supporting facts & images, trust in us and patience (few days).

If your customer claims they have not received the shipment we can request the courier for Proof of Delivery (POD).
POD can be of two types:
OTP based verification done when shipment is delivered.
Signature taken on paper run-sheet or mobile device when shipment is delivered.
In case the tracking shows that the Delivery is verified via OTP then a paper signature POD cannot be provided. The reason is that the shipment is marked as Delivered by the courier only after obtained an OTP from the consignee mobile. OTP verified delivery is considered a stronger proof than a paper signature. We cannot raise any delivery dispute on this type of verified delivery.
If OTP-based verification is unavailable then we can request courier for signature POD.
Proof of Delivery (POD) request must be raised within 3 days of the shipment being marked as Delivered. You can raise a POD request by opening Helpdesk Ticket requesting POD for the AWB marked as Delivered. Beyond 3 days is not possible to obtain POD or it will be on best effort basis only as most couriers do not entertain requests.

Sometimes due to either unavoidable circumstances or due to ODA (out of delivery area) pin codes it is possible that the courier may not be able to provide door delivery. This is very rare but it can happen and is usually when consignee location is remote. In such situations we request you to ask your customer (i.e., the receiver of the parcel) to please collect from courier office within 3 business days with valid government issued ID proof. If not collected it will be returned back to shipper. Shipment charges cannot be waived in such situations.

Sorry for the unfortunate experience. In general, the courier does not have any liability of the contents in case shipment is delivered and accepted by consignee. You should advise consignees to not accept parcels which are damaged externally. Instead ask to take pictures/videos and share it with us to allow us to open dispute with courier.
If shipment is already delivered and then consignee says that contents are missing
- We can help you resolve this by raising a dispute with the courier.
To raise dispute and resolve it in your favour we need:
- The invoice and video of contents as it was packed.
- The photo showing the packed box in its original form.
- The photo of the box as it was received.
- The unpacking video of the shipment when it was delivered
To raise the dispute with courier about contents being different we need the above information to raise a dispute with your chosen courier partner. Please provide this asap as delays could result in dispute being rejected by courier due to time lapse.

No. Liquid items can be sent only by Standard (Surface) shipment mode.

Packing material to protect your contents for damage is based on the contents you are sending.
For example, good quality envelope might be sufficient for sending a document but would not be adequate to send a bottle. Depending on contents the packing can be different to ensure chances of damage in transit are minimized. Assume that other parcels will be placed in cargo along with and on top of your parcel even for fragile marked items. Fragile items should be packed in cartons that will not crumple. So good quality thick microns cardboard should be used and there should be no gaps inside. In addition, bubble wrap or use other packing to ensure items do not shake in transit. If bottles then leak can happen from lids which come loose even if bottle itself does not break. So, bottle lids should be sealed and taped properly. These are some precautions to take while packing. Fragile stickers and This Side Up stickers are a guideline for handling and not a guarantee. Packing is still ultimately the client's responsibility.

Dead Weight = 250 + 100 = 350gm
Volumetric weight = (17 x 10 x 15)/5000 = 510 gm
Chargeable Weight = 510 gm
Note - To avoid volumetric billing please ensure efficient dimension of packing i.e., pack small items in small box with adequate packing material to avoid damage in transit.

We cover 29000+ pin codes in India.
Deliverability to a destination pin code is dependent on the sender pin code, weight, prepaid / cod and other factors. Hence, the best check to confirm deliverability to a pin code is to put all details and attempt to Estimate shipment cost. This is a better check since not all combinations of weight / mode (air or surface) / services (cod / reverse / pickup) may be possible between two pin codes. The shipment cost calculator does a real-time check for all options available and gives you an accurate answer. If you still want an excel, we can provide it. You can download an excel list of supported pin codes. However, it is not real-time and not 100% accurate.
