Occasion-driven spikes, everything fragile or awkward-shaped, deadlines that don't move.
Your city is your cheapest market
Same-city occasion gifting is your busiest lane — same-day saves forgotten anniversaries daily.
Going national
Mixed freight — follow the fragile double-box spec religiously.
| Decision | The right move |
|---|---|
| Same-city orders | Hyperlocal riders — per-trip pricing, hours not days |
| National orders | Surface express default, air for the urgent few |
| COD strategy | Prepaid gifting; the buyer and recipient are different people. |

Your first move
Offer 'deliver by date' at checkout — it's the gift-shop promise that matters.
How it runs day to day
Orders flow in
Instagram DMs, WhatsApp or your store — Pakka Parcel works inside Shopify and WooCommerce — quotes show on every order.
Quote per order
Same-city → rider fares; national → carrier rates. The cheapest option shows itself.
Book and hand off
Wallet holds the amount; rider collects or carrier manifests.
Customer tracks
Status syncs to the store — you stop answering 'kab aayega'.
One wallet, every carrier, per-order quoting — built for exactly this kind of mixed shipping.
