FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the fastest way to courier a package domestically in India?
Next Flight Out (NFO) air cargo is the fastest method, utilizing the first available commercial flight to deliver packages door-to-door within 8 to 12 hours.
Can I get a package delivered to another city on the same day?
YES. Same-day interstate delivery is possible between major airport-connected metros if booked and picked up before morning airline cut-off times.
What does "Next Flight Out" (NFO) logistics mean?
NFO logistics means your high-priority shipment skips standard warehousing and consolidation to be placed immediately on the very next commercial flight departing to the destination city.
How long does priority air cargo take from Delhi to Mumbai?
Total door-to-door transit time for priority air cargo between Delhi and Mumbai is typically 8 to 10 hours.
Is overnight cargo delivery available for Tier-2 cities?
YES. Overnight air-to-surface multi-modal routing allows shipments to reach Tier-2 cities by the next morning.
What is the average transit time for express B2B logistics?
Standard express B2B logistics takes 24 to 48 hours, whereas emergency line-down logistics reduces this to under 12 hours.
What happens if a flight is delayed or canceled?
Your logistics provider will instantly re-route the cargo onto the next available airline or switch to an expedited hot-shot road vehicle.
Can I get a guaranteed delivery time for critical parts?
YES. Premium emergency logistics providers offer time-definite guarantees (e.g., "Before 4:00 PM") backed by real-time flight tracking.
Do express shipping services operate on Sundays?
YES. Specialized emergency logistics companies operate 24/7/365, including Sundays and national holidays, unlike standard couriers.
What is the late-evening cut-off for next-morning delivery?
For next-morning delivery between major metros, cargo must usually be picked up and processed by 8:00 PM.
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.
