how to deliever product specially in remote area where no courier goes?

@linusstudios.... Thank You, I know the situation, the head post office here in Nasik also is about 15kms away an I have to send 150/- to reach there as transport is horrible in Nasik city.

I don't know hey you keep saying speedpost is cheaper, no it is not, it is much more expensive than normal courier. See chart below:

CIC hosting

With great intelligence they have made the slots of 51-200gms where majority of small parcels fall and the other slot is 201 to 500gms, these two slots make max money for them and you loose out.

In my previous post as I mentioned that for 62gms I had to pay Rs.57/- for speedpost whereas for the same parcel DTDC charges Rs.30/- and Trackon charges Rs.25/-

@rajelectronics I never said speedpost is better. The only plus point with them is they have more reach. IFor me minimum parcels are of 250 gms and fall in category of 250-500 gm category for which I am charged maximum Rs 70 by Aramex anywhere in India.,

Though I dont have much of an idea about electronic items you are mostly dealing with. I feel DTDC will be best for you.

Dear rajelectroniks
At my side they don't accept in ebay plastic bag. I don't assure any monthly number of package to them. I don't have speedpost membership and the guy is a speedpost agent who gets commission on the sent parcel.

@linusstudios... that was a typo, sorry, I meant "why people keep saying......"

@stylish_india ...Exactly, It cannot be a service rendered by our democratic Govt, no way. BTW I am still searching for some postal agent who will give me speedpost service@home but in the mean time I have a gotten a rate contract with DTDC.

Dear Raj Electroniks
Rather than searching for the postal agent - ask the postal office. One of the employee of postal office offered me the card of the postal agent and told me about this service so the employees know about the postal agents and you will definitely come to know from them

@sukesh_upare... I have just copied the rate card as is given on the speedpost website and there are no changes, I was charged also using the same rate card.
I paid Rs.50.00+Rs.7.00 as tax for each, total of Rs.114/- for 2 packets. See below:
