FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

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.

Is overnight cargo delivery available for Tier-2 cities?

YES. Overnight delivery to a Tier-2 city depends on suitable air and road connections, acceptance and the receiving location. Share the PIN codes and required arrival time for a route review; next-morning delivery requires specific confirmation.

What is the average transit time for express B2B logistics?

PORTADOR EXPRESS means next or second business day, subject to route, readiness and cutoff review. Urgent movements are assessed under SOS around the next available suitable flight. Ask for the applicable delivery plan for the individual shipment.

What happens if a flight is delayed or canceled?

If a flight is delayed or cancelled, PORTADOR reviews available alternatives and communicates a revised plan. Rerouting depends on suitable flight capacity, cargo acceptance and operational availability; a replacement movement requires confirmation.

Can I get a guaranteed delivery time for critical parts?

NO. Share the required delivery deadline for a feasibility review. A time-definite commitment applies only when expressly confirmed for the individual shipment. Tracking, a quotation or an AWB alone does not create a delivery guarantee.

Do express shipping services operate on Sundays?

YES. Sunday and public-holiday requests are subject to route, cargo and team availability. Confirm pickup, destination receiving hours and the proposed delivery arrangement for the individual shipment before relying on service that day.

What is the late-evening cut-off for next-morning delivery?

Cutoffs are confirmed for each shipment, based on the collection location, cargo-ready time, acceptance process, suitable flight and destination handover. Share the packed-ready time and required arrival to obtain a feasible plan.

What is the maximum weight allowed on domestic commercial flights?

Individual boxes are generally capped at 150 kg for narrow-body aircraft, though larger palletized cargo can fly on wide-body planes.

How do I ship an oversized package urgently?

Oversized packages are routed via wide-body aircraft or dedicated point-to-point express vehicles to bypass standard size restrictions.

Is there a minimum weight requirement for priority air cargo?

NO. There is no minimum weight limit; services handle everything from a 500-gram critical document to multi-ton machine components.

How do I know if my package is considered oversized?

Any package exceeding 120 cm in length or 80 cm in height is generally categorized as oversized by domestic commercial airlines.

Can I ship multiple boxes under a single consignment note?

YES. Multi-piece shipments (MPS) can be booked under a single Air Waybill (AWB) to streamline tracking and billing.

Are wooden crates accepted for domestic air freight?

YES. Provided the wooden crates are ISPM-15 certified (fumigated/heat-treated) and have clear forklift access points.

Can fragile glass components be sent via priority air cargo?

YES. But they must be packed using a "box-in-a-box" method with ample shock-absorbing padding between layers.

Why is emergency air cargo more expensive than standard courier services?

Emergency cargo bypasses consolidation hubs, utilizing dedicated vehicles and premium airline space bookings to prioritize absolute speed over cost.

What is a fuel surcharge in B2B logistics?

A fuel surcharge is a variable fee tied directly to current domestic fuel prices, protecting freight rates from sudden market spikes.

How can I track my emergency shipment in real-time?

Emergency shipments are tracked via live GPS links embedded in your consignment status dashboard or milestone SMS/email alerts.

What is an Air Waybill (AWB) number?

An AWB is a unique 11-digit tracking code issued by airlines that serves as the contract of carriage and receipt of goods.

Can I change the delivery address while the shipment is in transit?

YES. Address changes (re-consignment) are possible before the flight lands, but may cause operational delays and extra charges.

What is "Proof of Delivery" (POD) in B2B shipping?

A POD is a signed physical or digital acknowledgement from the recipient confirming the cargo arrived in good condition.

How long does it take to receive a digital POD after delivery?

Digital PODs are uploaded to the customer portal instantly or within 60 minutes of physical delivery.

Do you provide API integrations for ERP tracking?

YES. Modern B2B logistics platforms offer API webhooks to pipe live tracking data straight into your SAP or Oracle ERP systems.

What is an automated milestone alert?

These are automated notifications sent via WhatsApp, SMS, or email when your shipment is picked up, boards a flight, lands, or goes out for delivery.

Who do I call if my critical shipment is delayed?

Emergency logistics providers assign a dedicated 24/7 account desk executive to handle exceptions and update you directly.

Can the receiver track the shipment without a login?

YES. Anyone with the public tracking link or Air Waybill number can check live milestones on the tracking page.

What is active geofencing in logistics?

Geofencing uses GPS boundaries to automatically trigger alerts the exact moment a delivery vehicle enters or leaves a designated factory zone.

How fast can a critical machine spare part be delivered interstate?

Critical machine parts can be moved interstate via priority air freight within a 10-to-14-hour door-to-door window.

What is the cost impact of manufacturing downtime?

Factory downtime can cost businesses anywhere from thousands to lakhs of rupees per hour in lost productivity and missed client deadlines.

Can I ship heavy industrial gearboxes by air cargo?

YES. Industrial gearboxes can fly on commercial aircraft provided they are drained of all oils/lubricants and safely crated.

Can automotive assembly parts be shipped in bulk on the same day?

YES. High-volume automotive parts are packed into standard air containers (ULDs) for direct space allocation on major passenger or cargo aircraft.

What are the restrictions on shipping greasy or oiled machinery?

Airlines reject machinery with exposed fluids; all parts must be completely drained, cleaned, and wrapped in oil-absorbent materials.
