Shipping medicines (OTC and prescription) 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
Sealed strips/bottles in a padded envelope or small box. Cold-chain items need insulated packing — that's a different logistics tier.
Which courier to book
Surface express for OTC; prescription meds need the pharmacy's paperwork trail.
| Decision | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| What it costs | ₹50–90 |
| Rules & restrictions | Rx medicines require pharmacy licensing; no cross-border without rules |
| 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.

Rx medicines require pharmacy licensing; no cross-border without rules. Verify serviceability on your actual delivery pincodes, and on anything fragile or high-value, buy the insurance — it costs less than one claim.
