[aashita012]

Hi,
is the registered airmail service only for letters or can small articles upto 500 gms be sent through it as well? the local post office says to send it thru Parcel post,but it is very expensive.has anybody used registered airmail service to send small articles outside India? wht is the packaging and documentation required?thanks!!

parcels upto 1000 gms can be sent through registered air mail.No documentation is required and parcels have to be packed in cloth and sealed.

I use registered air mail regularly for small packets outside India, and have no complaint so far.

Hi,
Upto 2 KG.That is the limit for that.
After that you should use speedpost provided a speedpost service is available to that country.
Heavier items can be shipped by parcel or SAL.This you can ship anywhere.
Thanx,
Truly,
Amitava

Dear Jwell_mart,
thank you for your reply.so I'm assuming no customs declaration is required.and sealing it with wax is a must?
and what can be done to request the "ziddi" postal officer to accept 500gms packets/parcels as registered airmail category and not parcel post?
thanks!!

Dear Amitava123gems,

Thank you for your reply. my most packages of small articles would be in the category of 500gms only. it will be very economical to send them thru registered airmail. The local postal officer is being very difficult and only revealing his ignorance by refusing to accept registered airmail packet. thanks once again.

hi friends i also ship outside country.I am noob in this airmail thing.I used speedpost it charges rs 525 to Asia,rs. 800 to Europe.All my parcels are appx 250 grams.
I asked the speedpost officer about airmail,he said airmail & ems are the same thing.
But i felt its not the truth,Is airmail is cheaper as its not trackable.Do i need to open some account to do Airmail?
Regards
Sunny

don't send through Registered Airmail Parcel from india to abroad as they dont give tracking number. however speed post is better option there is tracking number with it.

I am not sure whether you can open account for regd airmail like speed post.Upto 2 kg you can send through registered airmail. The rates are usually the same worldwide depending on the weight of the parcel.

Best price calculator.
It calculates the price based on filled details.
But I don't know what you will be charged once you provide same details at Fukin INDIA POST.
I know. They will come up with some new amount about which they can't explain anything.
