Perth is the capital of Western Australia and the fourth-largest city in Australia, with a Greater Perth population of over 2.3 million people. The city is one of the fastest-growing in the country, and its Indian community has grown rapidly — at the 2021 Census, roughly 77,000 people in Western Australia declared Indian ancestry, with the vast majority living in Greater Perth. India is now one of the top three source countries for new arrivals to the state, and the Indian-born population grew by 129% between 2001 and 2011 alone.

Perth’s Indian community is spread across suburbs like Canning Vale, Baldivis, Ellenbrook, Morley, Cannington, Bentley, Thornlie, Armadale, and the newer growth corridors in the south and north. Many work in the mining and resources sector (including FIFO roles), IT, healthcare, engineering, and education. The city is home to five major universities — the University of Western Australia (UWA), Curtin University, Murdoch University, Edith Cowan University (ECU), and the University of Notre Dame — all with significant Indian student populations.

Whether you are a student at Curtin University sending transcripts to Delhi, a family in Canning Vale shipping Diwali sweets to Gujarat, a FIFO worker sending personal items home to Punjab, a nurse in Joondalup posting legal papers to Kerala, or a small business in Fremantle sending product samples to Mumbai — the need for a reliable, affordable courier to India from Perth is constant.

Couriers to India (CTI) is a one-way shipping service built only for the Australia-to-India route. Since 2013, we have shipped tens of thousands of parcels from Perth to every corner of the subcontinent. We work directly with DHL, FedEx, UPS, and TNT to get you wholesale rates that general couriers cannot match. Free doorstep pickup across all of Greater Perth. Real-time tracking. Our India team helps your receiver with KYC (the identity check required by Indian customs) before your parcel lands. No hidden fees.

Trusted by Perth's Indian Community

"My husband and I moved back to Hyderabad after 4 years in Baldivis. Qantas wanted $175 per extra bag, and we had way too much to carry. CTI picked up five heavy boxes from our house, sorted all the Transfer of Residence paperwork, and everything reached home in 8 days. We saved so much money compared to airline charges."

"I had to send signed land papers to Jalandhar for a registration deadline. CTI collected the envelope from my workplace near Perth CBD. The tracking was spot-on, and delivery happened in exactly 4 business days. No customs hold-ups because they sorted the KYC with my dad before the parcel even landed." —

"Every Diwali I send Tim Tams, macadamia nuts, and Australian souvenirs to my parents in Lucknow. Last year I used Australia Post and it took nearly a month with no tracking updates. CTI delivered in 6 days with SMS updates at every step. My mum got her chocolates before Diwali for the first time!"

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

Most courier companies ship everywhere but master nowhere. CTI focuses only on the Australia-to-India route. This gives us advantages no general courier can match:

1. We Handle KYC for Your Receiver (Zero-Hassle Customs)

India’s customs authority (CBIC) requires every parcel receiver to show an identity document — usually an Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, or Indian Passport. This is called KYC (Know Your Customer). Most couriers leave this to the receiver, and the parcel sits in a warehouse if documents are not ready. CTI works differently. Our team in India calls and WhatsApps your receiver before the parcel lands to help them upload their KYC. This stops the most common reason for delays.

2. Deep Last-Mile Reach Across All of India

DHL and FedEx focus mainly on Indian metros. CTI’s network goes much further. We deliver to over 10,000 pin codes, including smaller cities like Ludhiana, Coimbatore, Vizag, and Patna, and remote villages in Punjab, Kerala, Jharkhand, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and the Northeast.

3. Packaging Built for Indian Conditions

We know what goes inside these boxes — homemade ghee, silk sarees, temple idols, Vegemite, Tim Tams, macadamia nuts, and fragile items. Our Perth hub offers special packing: spill-proof sealing, moisture-resistant wrapping, and boxes built for the Indian climate. General couriers do not offer this.

4. Lower Rates Through Combined Shipping Volumes

Because we only ship to India, we combine large freight loads departing Perth Airport (PER) on this single route. This “group buying power” lets us get wholesale rates from carriers. We pass those savings directly to you. For heavy shipments and multi-box excess baggage, CTI is the cheapest option from Perth.

How to Calculate Your Shipping Cost – Volumetric Weight

Couriers charge based on whichever is higher: the actual weight on the scale or the volumetric weight (how much space the box takes up).

Formula: Length (cm) × Width (cm) × Height (cm) ÷ 5,000 = Volumetric Weight (kg)

Example: A box measuring 50 cm × 40 cm × 30 cm has a volumetric weight of (50 × 40 × 30) ÷ 5,000 = 12 kg. If the actual weight is 8 kg, you get charged for 12 kg because volumetric weight is higher.

Pro tip: Use the smallest box possible. Remove extra packaging. Flatten clothing. This can save you 20–30% on costs.

Yes. We offer free door-to-door pickup from anywhere in Greater Perth, including CBD, Canning Vale, Baldivis, Joondalup, Ellenbrook, Fremantle, Rockingham, Mandurah, and all surrounding suburbs. After-hours pickup is available in select areas.

Q4. What documents does my receiver in India need?

The receiver must show a valid government ID to Indian customs — usually an Aadhaar Card (recommended), Indian Passport, Voter ID, or PAN Card. CTI’s India team contacts your receiver via WhatsApp to collect these before the parcel lands.

Q5. Can I send food items from Perth to India?

Fresh, home-cooked, and perishable food cannot be shipped due to Australian DAFF biosecurity rules and Indian FSSAI regulations. Sealed, branded, non-perishable items such as chocolates, biscuits, Tim Tams, and macadamia nuts may be allowed. Check with our team before booking.

Q6. Is there customs duty on gifts sent to India?

Yes. Indian customs treats imported gifts as taxable. The duty rate ranges from about 42% to 80% depending on the item and declared value. Documents are 100% duty-free. Personal effects may be duty-free under Transfer of Residence rules with valid travel documents.

Q7. Can I track my parcel from Perth to India?

Yes. Every shipment comes with a tracking number. You can check your parcel’s status online 24/7 through our website. We also send SMS and email updates at each stage.

Q8. What if my parcel gets stuck in Indian customs?

The most common reason is incomplete KYC from the receiver. CTI prevents this by collecting KYC before your parcel arrives. If customs still holds a shipment, our India team guides you through the process. A clearance fee of $44 AUD may apply.

Q9. Do you offer insurance?

Yes. Standard insurance cover of $100 AUD is included with every shipment at no extra cost. For higher-value items, we offer comprehensive insurance. We recommend insuring anything you consider valuable.

Q10. Can I send excess baggage from Perth if I am relocating to India?

Absolutely. Our multi-box deals are perfect for UWA, Curtin, Murdoch, and ECU students, FIFO workers, healthcare professionals, and families moving back. You can ship up to 4 boxes at once (22 kg each) for just $1,420 AUD total. A valid travel ticket or travel within the last 120 days is required for Transfer of Residence duty benefits.

Q11. I am a FIFO worker heading back to India. Can you help?

Yes. Many of our Perth clients are fly-in fly-out workers finishing mining or resources contracts. Our excess baggage service is ideal for shipping personal items, work gear, and household belongings back to India without paying airline excess fees. We collect from any Perth suburb.

Q13. What is the cheapest way to ship from Perth to India?

For non-urgent shipments, our standard service (5–7 business days) offers the best value. For excess baggage, our 4-box bundle at $16.14 per kg is the lowest rate available. Putting items into fewer, heavier boxes is always cheaper than sending many small parcels.

Q14. How do I calculate volumetric weight?

Measure the box in centimetres (Length × Width × Height) and divide by 5,000. Couriers charge based on whichever is higher: actual weight or volumetric weight. Example: a 50 × 40 × 30 cm box = 12 kg volumetric.

Q15. What items are banned from shipping to India?

You cannot send batteries, flammable items, jewellery, watches, medicines, alcohol, tobacco, cash, perishable food, hazardous materials, vaping devices, or illegal substances. See our full prohibited items list above or call 1300 696 176 to check.
