Good Option for Shipping a Package from Canada to India
Not long ago I had to send a fairly heavy box from Canada to India and started looking around for shipping options. Many companies had confusing pricing or additional customs charges, so it took a while to find something reasonable.
Eventually I found this page https://ca.meest.com/delivery-canada-to-india
and decided to give it a try. The pricing seemed quite fair compared to other services. Shipping starts at 11.45 USD per kilogram with a minimum shipment weight of 5 kg, which worked well for my package.
One thing I liked was that customs clearance is already included. That means there are no surprise fees later, which is often the case with international deliveries. They also automatically insure each parcel for 60 dollars, which is a nice extra level of protection.
The website also lets you estimate your shipping costs before placing an order. There is a simple online calculator right on the page where you can enter the weight and see the approximate delivery price. I found that very helpful when planning the shipment.
Delivery to the recipient’s home anywhere in India costs 15 dollars per box, which I thought was reasonable for international shipping. After registering on the site I also received a 5 dollar discount for the order.
Overall the process was smooth and easy to understand. If someone here is trying to send a parcel from Canada to India and wants something affordable and straightforward, this service might be worth checking out.
