Dear Avertek_infosys,

We do pick up packages - for Premium Products (Speed Post & EPP). This is free of charge and is generally offered to regular customers. Minimum of 3 packages need to be there for retail customers.

Recently facility of pick-up through Postman for all kinds of letters has been started. The nearest Senior Superintendent of Post Offices for further details.

Sending Products Overseas is only Custom Declaration Form C 2/ CP 3 sufficient for Small Packets valued between Rs.5000/- - Rs.10,000/- because it is impractical to visit Foreign Post Office in Mumbai for us.

Dear twinkle_star_in1,

Yes, coins be sent through Post. However, some countries mught prohibit entry of coins - so please keep this in mind for International Shipments.

Dear sitare_jewel,

As we have already clarified, you do not have to personally go to Foreign Post office for smaller value shipments - its just better for all. We will be posting scanned copies of the forms on this board - if you have queries on the form, leave posts on this board and we will get back to you at a later date.

Is it Custom Declaration form C2 / CP 3, is it sufficient

Dear Col. Mishra

First of thank you for coming to this discussion and thanks for your reply. Do we need to sign some contract to be a regular customer. You say 3 parcels. Does it mean 3 parcels at a time for retail customer.. Ajay Verma

Yes the 2 forms and copies of Invoice are enough. As for the query on Insurance, as we have already mentioned you can use 3rd party Insurance companies for insuring. Currently this is restricted to larger value shipments till date and you need to contact the Central offices of these agencies for arranging this.
