Shipping bicycles and large sports gear is a solved problem — if you respect the three things that actually decide whether it arrives well: packaging, carrier pick, and knowing the rules before you print the label.
Packaging that survives the network
Bike box from a cycle shop: bars turned, pedals off, wheels padded. It's a full repack job.
Which courier to book
LTL freight or specialised bulky carriers — standard couriers reject the size.
| Decision | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| What it costs | ₹800–2,500 |
| Rules & restrictions | Oversize surcharges apply; get quotes before listing shipping as free |
| Fragile? | Standard care is enough |

The booking flow
Pack and measure
Weigh it AND measure the box — volumetric beats scale weight on light-but-big parcels.
Quote per order
Get rates across every carrier on Pakka Parcel — the cheapest lane-winner changes order to order.
Book and label
Wallet holds the amount, AWB generates, thermal label prints.
Track to door
Status syncs back to the store; the customer stops asking where it is.
Every carrier prices weight, dims and zone differently — the per-order quote is the whole game.

Oversize surcharges apply; get quotes before listing shipping as free. Verify serviceability on your actual delivery pincodes, and on anything fragile or high-value, buy the insurance — it costs less than one claim.
