Trusted by Burnaby’s Indian Community (Verified Reviews)

"Moving back to Hyderabad after finishing my Master's at SFU was stressful. Air India out of Vancouver wanted $300 per extra bag. CTI picked up my four heavy boxes straight from my apartment in Lougheed, handled the Transfer of Residence paperwork, and everything arrived in 8 days. I saved so much money."

"I had to send urgent immigration and power of attorney papers to Jalandhar. CTI collected the envelope from my office in Metrotown. The tracking was incredibly accurate, and there were no customs delays because they sorted the KYC with my family before the parcel even landed."

"Every Diwali, I send Canadian chocolates, BC maple syrup, and gifts to my parents in Delhi. I used to use Canada Post, and it took weeks. CTI delivered in 6 days with SMS updates at every step. Flawless service."

The CTI Edge: Why a One-Way India Specialist Wins

Most courier companies ship everywhere but master nowhere. CTI focuses only on the Canada-to-India route.

1. Proactive KYC Handling (Zero-Hassle Customs)

India’s customs authority (CBIC) requires every parcel receiver to show an identity document (Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, or Passport). General couriers leave this to the receiver, causing warehouse delays. CTI’s India team contacts your receiver via WhatsApp before the parcel lands to help them upload their KYC, stopping delays before they happen.

2. Packaging Built for Indian Conditions

We know what goes inside these boxes. From SFU textbooks to delicate gifts, our BC logistics hub ensures spill-proof sealing, moisture-resistant wrapping, and robust boxing designed for global transit and the Indian climate.

3. Lower Rates Through Combined Volume

By pooling large freight volumes departing from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) on this single route, we secure wholesale carrier rates and pass those savings directly to our Burnaby clients.

2026 Customs Note: Indian law mandates that imported gifts are not tax-free. They attract a customs tax of roughly 42% to 77% based on value, payable by the receiver.

3. Excess Baggage Shipping (For SFU/BCIT Students & Expats)

Airlines departing YVR charge exorbitant fees for overweight luggage (Air Canada: $100–$220+ CAD; Air India: $300+ CAD per extra bag). CTI’s multi-box excess baggage deals offer drastically lower per-kg rates.

What you can ship: Clothing, textbooks, non-electric kitchenware, bed linen, sports gear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is the cheapest way to ship from Burnaby to India?

For non-urgent freight, our standard service (7–12 business days) starting from $35 CAD per kg offers the best value. For students moving back, our multi-box excess baggage bundles reduce the per-kg rate significantly. Consolidating into fewer, heavier boxes is always cheaper.

Yes. We frequently collect excess baggage and document shipments directly from student housing and surrounding neighborhoods on Burnaby Mountain and near the BCIT Burnaby campus.

Q3. Is insurance included?

Basic transit liability coverage is included with every shipment. For high-value commercial goods or sentimental items, we strongly advise purchasing our comprehensive transit insurance policy for full financial protection.

Q4. How do I calculate volumetric weight?

Measure the box in centimeters (Length × Width × Height) and divide by 5,000. Couriers charge based on whichever is higher: the actual scale weight or the volumetric weight.

It takes just minutes. Call 1-800-760-5036, WhatsApp us, or visit our website to get an instant quote. We schedule the pickup, handle the paperwork, and dispatch your shipment via the next premium flight out of YVR.
