Clothes and fabric
Winter jackets, suits, and phulkari travel well if the carton is dense enough that volumetric does not balloon the CAD rate. We will say so if you bring an oversized half-empty box.

Surrey to Punjab courier — Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Amritsar, and the village PIN
Newton books this lane constantly. If the box is going to a mohalla in Ludhiana or a village off the GT Road, we need the PIN, a phone that rings, and ID for the person taking delivery — not a vague “Punjab” address.
- DTDC last-mile across Punjab PINs
- Express 4–7 days · Economy 10–15 days
- Clothes, dry gifts, documents — packed at 80 Ave
Punjab is not “India generic.” The PIN and the phone number decide delivery.
A carton to Model Town Ludhiana, a house in Jalandhar Cantt, and a village near Moga are three different last-mile jobs. DTDC covers that map well when the address has a 6-digit PIN, a landmark the local rider recognises, and a mobile that someone in Punjab actually answers.
The FineEx desk sits in Newton at 12950 80 Ave, Unit 4. Pickup also runs through Delta, Langley, Abbotsford, Richmond, and Vancouver. Festival weeks (Rakhi, Diwali, wedding season) stack this lane — if the box has to be there for a date, say so before we sell you a 10–15 day economy label.
What actually ships well on Surrey–Punjab
Dry gifts, not kitchen experiments
Packaged dry snacks and sealed dry sweets are a conversation. Homemade food, wet items, and anything that leaks are a no. We would rather turn a box away than watch it sit in Indian customs.
Documents to a Punjab address
Offer letters, property papers, and university envelopes usually belong on DHL or FedEx express (4–7 days), not in a mixed clothes carton on economy.
DTDC for the village. Express when the wedding is dated.
Most Surrey-to-Punjab gift cartons go DTDC economy or DTDC’s faster India product. Last-mile into smaller Punjab towns is why families keep using it. You still need Aadhaar (or passport) for the receiver and a contents list that matches the box.
If someone is flying in for a wedding and the sherwani cannot, that is DHL or FedEx from the same counter. We quote kg and cm in CAD and tell you the Friday cutoff if you are cutting it fine.
Punjab address and KYC checklist
House or gali number, village or sector, tehsil if it helps the rider, city, and PIN. “Near the gurdwara” is not a substitute for a PIN.
Receiver Aadhaar or Indian passport, plus a Punjab mobile number. WhatsApp-only numbers that nobody picks up delay delivery.
Sender Canadian ID and a reachable Lower Mainland phone — we call if customs or the linehaul needs a contents clarification.
No undeclared phones, power banks, or perfume in a “clothes only” list. Punjab customs sees the same tricks as Delhi and Mumbai.
Booking Surrey to Punjab from 80 Ave
- PIN first
We price Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Amritsar, Patiala, Mohali, and village PINs from the same desk. Wrong PIN wastes a week.

Actual kg vs cm volumetric. Newton drop-off is cheapest; Delta and Langley pickup is available if the box is ready.
- KYC, then track
Receiver ID on file, label printed, tracking sent to you and — if you want — to the Punjab number on the waybill.

Answers before you ship
Questions about this service
Do you deliver to villages in Punjab, not just Ludhiana and Amritsar?
Yes, when the waybill has a valid 6-digit PIN, a usable local address, and a phone that rings. DTDC last-mile covers a wide Punjab map; we will say so if a PIN is routinely difficult.
How long is Surrey to Punjab by courier?
Express is typically 4–7 working days; economy is typically 10–15 working days after handover. Indian customs and missing Aadhaar/KYC can extend either window.
Can I send homemade food to Punjab?
No. Homemade and wet foods are a customs problem. Sealed, commercially packed dry items may be possible — ask at the counter with the actual product in hand, not a vague list.
What ID does the receiver in Punjab need?
Usually Aadhaar or an Indian passport, plus a mobile number. We collect what the carrier requires before the parcel leaves Surrey so it is not sitting in India waiting for KYC.
Is pickup available outside Newton?
Yes. Pickup covers Surrey, Delta, Langley, Abbotsford, Richmond, and Vancouver. Drop-off at 12950 80 Ave, Unit 4 has no pickup charge.
