Virtual Indian Address
A real delivery address in your name, issued the same day. Indian sellers treat you as a domestic customer.
What we do
Everything we handle between the Indian seller and your door
Six services. Most of them are included at no charge, because they are not extras, they are the job.
What does Parcel From India actually do?
We give you an Indian address, receive whatever you order to it, inspect and photograph each item, combine separate orders into one parcel, repack it for the flight, complete the export documentation and ship it to your country on a tracked service. Most of that is included in the shipping price.
Included as standard
Six things that happen to every parcel
You do not request these and you do not pay for them separately. They happen because without them the parcel does not arrive.
Package Consolidation
Ten orders from ten sellers leave as one box. You pay one shipping charge instead of ten.
Inspection and Photos
Every parcel is opened, checked for damage and photographed before anything is packed for export.
Storage and Locker
Thirty days free while you finish shopping. One hundred rupees a day after that if you need longer.
Export Repacking
Indian retail packing is built for a van, not a cargo hold. We rebuild the box so it survives the flight.
Assisted Purchase
When a seller will not take a foreign card, or has no website at all, we buy it on your behalf.
The paid extras
Three things you pay for only if you ask
We would rather have a short list of honest extras than a long list of fees hidden behind a low headline rate. These three are genuinely optional, they are quoted before we act, and most customers never use any of them.
Assisted purchase is not on that list, because we do not charge for it. Indian payment gateways reject foreign cards constantly, and a great many of the best sellers, particularly for sarees, handicrafts and sweets, are physical shops with no online presence at all. Somebody has to walk in and buy it, and we do that at no cost to you. You pay what the item costs.
Optional, quoted before we act
- Pickup or drop-off inside IndiaFrom ₹499
- Tailoring coordination₹299 + 4%
- Storage beyond thirty days₹100 / day

Common questions
Questions we get asked most
Only assisted purchase, domestic pickup inside India, tailoring coordination and storage beyond the first thirty days. The address, receiving, inspection, consolidation, repacking and export documentation are all included in the shipping price.
No. Everything included happens automatically on every parcel. The paid extras are requested when you need them, usually by sending us a message, and we confirm the cost before doing anything.
Yes, though it is quoted separately rather than priced from the standard table. Commercial consignments need different documentation and often different packing, so send us the details and we will come back with a figure.
No. We are a one-way service: out of India to the rest of the world. If you need something sent into India, a standard international courier will serve you better than we would.
Thirty kilograms per box is the practical limit, and any single side over one hundred and twenty centimetres attracts an oversize charge from the carrier. Heavier consignments are handled as multiple boxes or quoted as cargo.
