When to use PORTADOR

Built for consequences, not commodity volume

When PORTADOR is the right conversation

Use PORTADOR when a missed deadline has a business or travel consequence, or when the cargo needs acceptance, documentation, or special-handling review.

Routine low-cost parcel movement is not the center of the service. Smaller legitimate urgent shipments remain welcome, while larger commercial requirements receive cargo-specific review.

01

A deadline has commercial consequences

Production downtime, a missed event, an AOG situation, or a customer escalation makes timing material.

02

The shipment is cargo, not just a parcel

PORTADOR is suited to business-critical, multi-box, heavier, high-value, baggage, or specialized requirements.

03

The shipment needs accountable assistance

Customers can speak with PORTADOR about acceptance, shipment readiness, and the next action.

04

Acceptance needs to be checked before promises

Cargo type, documents, packing, serviceability, and applicable restrictions are reviewed before confirmation.

Customer guidance

Direct answers before you ship

Can PORTADOR move domestic commercial cargo weighing 50 kg or more?

Yes, PORTADOR accepts enquiries for 50 kg+ domestic business cargo, including multi-box shipments, equipment and industrial spares. Share the origin and destination PIN codes, total weight, individual piece weights and dimensions, commodity, packing and required arrival time. The team checks the route and cargo acceptance before confirming a quotation.

How much does domestic air cargo cost per kg?

There is no single rate per kg for every shipment. The route, chargeable weight, commodity, packing, urgency and pickup or delivery scope affect the quotation. Send the shipment details to receive a written price with the applicable GST and any separately quoted handling or delivery charges.

Is air cargo charged by actual weight or dimensional weight?

Standard chargeable weight is the higher of total actual weight and total volumetric weight. Under PORTADOR’s published calculator, each box’s length × width × height in centimetres is divided by 5,000. Share every piece’s dimensions and weight; the final accepted quotation states the applicable billing basis.

What is the difference between airport-to-airport and door-to-door air cargo?

Airport-to-airport covers the agreed terminal movement and handovers; it does not automatically include collection from your address or delivery to the receiver. Door-to-door adds the pickup and destination delivery scope stated in the quotation. Confirm terminal handling, documents, release arrangements and receiver availability before booking.

Comparison

Time-critical logistics and routine courier solve different problems

Use urgency only when the consequence justifies it.

Routine courier remains suitable for predictable parcels. PORTADOR is for cargo where delay can cause downtime, missed travel, event disruption, replacement failure, or commercial escalation.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I request a cargo pickup online, and does the request confirm collection?

YES. You can submit shipment details through Request a Pickup as a guest. PORTADOR reviews the cargo, route, readiness and deadline before quoting. Submitting a request, accepting a quote and confirming collection are separate steps; a request or payment alone does not confirm that a vehicle or runner has been assigned.

Should I choose EXPRESS or SOS for an urgent domestic shipment?

YES. EXPRESS is for next or second business day movement, with the exact date confirmed after route, readiness and cutoff review. SOS is checked against the next available suitable accepted flight. Its estimated 10–16-hour timing counts from that flight’s departure, not pickup; waiting before departure is additional. The quotation states the shipment-specific delivery deadline.

Can you check 200–1,000 kg bulk air cargo or an urgent machine spare part?

YES. these are shipment-specific enquiries rather than automatic bookings. For bulk cargo, share the piece count, each piece’s packed dimensions and weight, lifting needs and delivery deadline. For a breakdown spare, also identify the part and receiving contact. Aircraft limits, loading equipment, documents and available capacity must be reviewed before acceptance.

Can you send suitcases or personal effects between Indian cities?

YES. PORTADOR reviews luggage and personal-effects enquiries separately from commercial freight. Share the bag count, packed dimensions, weight, item list, pickup and delivery PIN codes and the receiver’s availability. Declare batteries, liquids, medicines and any restricted items before booking; baggage is not automatically exempt from cargo acceptance requirements.

Can I send an urgent passport, tender or business document?

NO. Share the pickup and destination details, document type, recipient contact and the exact handover deadline. PORTADOR checks the suitable service and receiving window before confirmation. A dispatch request does not guarantee same-day arrival or completion of a filing, tender or visa process.

Can lithium batteries or dangerous goods travel by air cargo?

YES. Acceptance depends on the exact commodity, battery configuration or dangerous-goods classification, documentation, compliant packaging, airline and route. Share the product details and relevant safety or transport documents for review. Do not send regulated cargo as ordinary luggage or assume acceptance from a website image or an online request.

What is the fastest way to courier a package domestically in India?

Estimated delivery: 10-16 hours. Hour counting starts from departure of the next available accepted flight, not from pickup. If no flight is available after pickup that day, hour counting starts when the next available accepted flight departs. Waiting before departure is additional; the quotation states the confirmed delivery deadline.

Can I get a package delivered to another city on the same day?

YES. Same-day intercity movement may be possible on a suitable route, subject to readiness, cargo acceptance, flight availability and the destination receiving window. Obtain shipment-specific confirmation before relying on a same-day deadline.

What does "Next Flight Out" (NFO) logistics mean?

Estimated delivery: 10-16 hours. Hour counting starts from departure of the next available accepted flight, not from pickup. If no flight is available after pickup that day, hour counting starts when the next available accepted flight departs. Waiting before departure is additional; the quotation states the confirmed delivery deadline.

How long does priority air cargo take from Delhi to Mumbai?

Estimated delivery: 10-16 hours. Hour counting starts from departure of the next available accepted flight, not from pickup. If no flight is available after pickup that day, hour counting starts when the next available accepted flight departs. Waiting before departure is additional; the quotation states the confirmed delivery deadline.

01

What is Next Flight Out Cargo?

Next Flight Out cargo is an urgent air logistics option where eligible shipments are checked against the earliest suitable flight-linked movement instead of waiting for routine courier cycles. It is relevant for machine breakdown parts, AOG spares, urgent documents, medical equipment, high-value cargo, and emergency replacement shipments when time cannot wait.

02

Air Cargo vs Courier

Air cargo is usually better for urgent intercity shipments where airport-linked movement can protect a hard deadline, while courier is better for routine parcels that can follow standard hub networks. It is relevant for same-day cargo, AOG shipments, excess baggage, tender documents, legal papers, laptop replacement, and business-critical parts when time cannot wait.

Read guide
03

How Same-Day Air Cargo Works

It is relevant for urgent business shipments, machine parts, emergency documents, excess baggage, electronics, samples, and high-value cargo when time cannot wait.

04

What is Mission-Critical Logistics?
