How much does it cost to send a parcel from India to South Korea?

ShipKorea.in offers transparent per-kg DDP rates: ₹749/kg (0.5–2 kg), ₹699/kg (3–5 kg), ₹659/kg (6–10 kg), ₹629/kg (11–20 kg) and ₹609/kg (21 kg+). All rates include free doorstep pickup, Korean import duty and door delivery — nothing extra for the recipient.

How long does India-to-Korea courier take?

Door-to-door delivery is typically 5–8 business days, and as fast as 5 days to Seoul, Incheon, Busan, Daegu and Daejeon.

Which is the best courier from India to South Korea?

ShipKorea.in is the specialist India→South Korea courier: free doorstep pickup from every Indian PIN code, duty-paid (DDP) delivery, transparent per-kg pricing from ₹609/kg, 5–8 day door-to-door transit, in-house customs clearance on both sides, and live tracking with WhatsApp support. It is typically cheaper and faster than EMS/India Post and less expensive than DHL/FedEx/UPS for parcels 0.5–30 kg.

What is DDP shipping and why does it matter?

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means the sender pre-pays Korean import duty and 10% VAT so the recipient owes nothing on delivery. ShipKorea.in ships DDP by default; EMS/India Post ships DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid), which surprises the recipient with a duty bill at the door.

Do you pick up from my city in India?

Yes. ShipKorea.in picks up from every Indian PIN code at no cost — Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Kochi and every North-East hub including Guwahati.

Which Korean cities do you deliver to?

We deliver to every South Korean postal code — Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, Daejeon, Gwangju, Ulsan, Suwon, Sejong, Cheongju, Jeonju, Changwon, Pohang and Jeju Island.

Can I send food, cosmetics or K-pop merch from India to Korea?

Yes — factory-sealed food (mithai, snacks, spices, tea), sealed retail cosmetics, and K-pop merchandise (photocards, albums, lightsticks) are all commonly shipped and cleared without issue. Homemade/perishable food, alcohol, aerosols and loose lithium batteries are prohibited.

How do I track my ShipKorea.in shipment?

How much cheaper is this than airline excess baggage?

Airline excess baggage typically costs ₹1,500–₹3,000+ per kg on India→Korea routes. Our per-kg DDP rate starts at ₹609/kg (21 kg+) and includes free pickup and Korean import duty — often 3–5× cheaper end-to-end, with no schlepping to counters.

Yes — we deliver to any Korean postal code including university dorms (Seoul National, KAIST, Yonsei, Korea University, Hanyang, Sungkyunkwan, POSTECH, etc.), rented apartments, share houses, hotels and Airbnb addresses.

What can I NOT send in excess luggage?

Same rules as any courier: no cash/currency, no loose lithium batteries (devices with built-in batteries under 100 Wh are fine), no aerosols, no alcohol-based perfumes, no homemade/perishable food, no weapons/replicas. Sealed retail products, clothing, books, electronics, sealed spices and Indian ayurvedic cosmetics are all fine.
