How to plan your shipment

  2. Make a list of everything you want to send — weigh each box on a home scale if possible.
  3. Use the dimensional calculator to check volumetric weight.
  4. Call or WhatsApp — we quote from weight, size and country.
  5. Confirm pickup date — we collect from home and pack.
  6. Share your university or accommodation address abroad with receiver phone.

Frequently asked questions

Student baggage from Hyderabad — costs, campus delivery & packing.

Is courier really cheaper than airline excess baggage from Hyderabad?

Often yes when the airline charges high per-kg excess at the airport — compare their rate with our full shipment quote using the price calculator. Courier also adds free Hyderabad pickup, packing help and door tracking to your campus address.

Can you deliver to my university dormitory address?

Yes when the dorm or accommodation accepts courier deliveries — share building name, room number if any and an active receiver phone. Remote campuses or ZIP codes can add a day or two.

How long before my flight should I book?

Book at least about 7 working days before your flight so customs and scans have buffer. August for USA intake and January for UK intake are busiest — try to book about 2 weeks early.

Can I send my laptop and phone?

Used laptops, phones and tablets often ship when packed safely and listed honestly on the invoice — batteries usually stay inside the device where rules allow. WhatsApp photos before sealing so we confirm wording.

Can I send homemade food (pickles, dry snacks) in the same box?

Dry snacks often travel inside student boxes where destination rules allow. Pickles and liquids need tight sealing and country checks — see our food guide or ask us before mixing food with clothes.

What is the maximum weight per box?

Carrier handling limits vary — many student cartons stay near airline-style limits per piece for sorting safety. Very heavy loads may split across two boxes — we advise after weighing at pickup.

How do I calculate if my box has volumetric weight?

Multiply length × width × height in centimetres and divide by 5000 for typical air express. If that number is higher than scale kg, couriers bill volumetric weight — use our dimensional calculator after packing.

What if customs holds my box?

The carrier usually contacts the receiver for paperwork or duty payment. We share the AWB on WhatsApp so you respond quickly — clearance decisions belong to destination customs, not SLP.

Do you ship to all US states including remote universities?

We book DHL, FedEx, UPS or Aramex to major cities and many college towns — remote ZIP codes can add transit days. Send the full campus address when quoting.

Can multiple students share one large box to save cost?

Sometimes yes if everyone agrees on one receiver and a clear item list per student — customs wording must stay honest. Ask us before combining belongings from different people.

Can I send to a temporary address and then forward?

Often yes if someone can receive at the temporary address first — onward forwarding after delivery is between you and the receiver; use tracking to coordinate handoff.

What happens if I pack something not allowed?

The carrier may refuse the shipment or customs may seize items — you could face delays or extra charges. WhatsApp photos before sealing anything you are unsure about.

Honest pricing & service — your questions answered

Trusted by wholesale & retail partners across Hyderabad · 98% customs success rate

Are you a direct DHL, FedEx and UPS aggregator?

Yes — SLP Express is a direct, official bulk aggregator for DHL, FedEx, UPS and Aramex. We hand the carriers large daily volumes, so we earn wholesale rates and pass the saving to you — typically up to 30–40% below direct/retail carrier prices, for the exact same carriers and service.

If your rates are lower, is delivery slower or different?

No. Your parcel moves on the same DHL, FedEx or UPS network with the same transit times as booking direct — you simply pay the aggregator (wholesale) price instead of the retail counter price. Same carrier, same speed, lower cost.

How can you offer wholesale rates on a single parcel?

We are a high-volume aggregator serving 30,000+ customers across Hyderabad. That bulk volume earns partner pricing from the carriers, and even your single parcel gets the bulk rate.

Why is my courier quote cheaper somewhere else?

A low per-kg quote is usually a base rate — before fuel surcharge (15–25%) and 18% GST, which add about ₹300–400/kg. A ₹600/kg quote often becomes ₹900–1,000/kg at billing. SLP's rate is all-inclusive — fuel, GST, free pickup, 3-layer packing and customs are already in it. Stripped of fuel and GST our base is about ₹550/kg, but we quote the honest final price instead of a teaser that doubles later.

Are there any hidden fees or surprise surcharges?

No. Fuel surcharge, GST, free doorstep pickup, 3-layer packing and customs handling are all included in the per-kg rate you see. What you are quoted is what you pay.

Is there a minimum weight for free pickup and packing?

No. We offer free doorstep pickup and professional 3-layer packing on any shipment — from a single document to bulk cargo, with no minimum weight.

Is my shipment insured against loss?

Yes. If your shipment is lost, we cover the value of your items up to ₹15,000, at no extra charge.

Will my parcel get stuck in customs, and what if a duty is charged?

Our 20+ years of export invoicing and packing keep shipments moving through customs smoothly, with a 98% clearance success rate. If a duty is ever wrongly applied, our in-house dispute form plus correct invoicing get it waived or refunded in around 90% of cases — keeping your shipment low-risk.

How do I track my shipment?

We connect directly to DHL, FedEx and UPS systems for live, real-time tracking. You also get a WhatsApp tracking link the moment your pickup is done — followed end-to-end to delivery, with our team available 24/7 for any query.

How long does international delivery take?

Typically DHL 2–3 working days, FedEx 3–5 working days, and UPS 3–6 working days to most destinations.

What is volumetric weight?

Couriers charge the higher of actual weight and volumetric weight (length × width × height in cm ÷ 5000). A large but light box can be billed on its size — we pack tight so you are billed on real weight, keeping cost down.

Do you provide a GST invoice for businesses?

Yes — we issue full GST tax invoices for business and bulk shippers.

How current are your rates?

We update our rates every week against live carrier and fuel costs, and any change reflects on the website immediately — so your quote is never stale.
