The third option worth pricing
On Pakka Parcel you don't choose one — both sit in the same quote list per order.
Whatever you choose, run the same five real orders through both options before committing — cost per delivered order beats every comparison table, including this one.
Pakka Parcel quotes every enabled carrier per order — so 'which is cheaper' stops being a research project.

Courier pricing, pincode counts and remittance cycles change quarterly — verify the current numbers on each provider's site before deciding. This page reflects the market as of October 2026 and our honest reading of where each option fits; we publish Pakka Parcel, so read our row with that bias in mind.
