Economy international courier from Chennai
A slower, cheaper option when your parcel is not urgent. Still door to door and tracked.
Not every parcel needs the fastest service. Economy and deferred courier services take a little longer and usually cost less, while still giving door-to-door delivery and tracking. They suit gifts, clothes, books and non-urgent samples.
What the carriers offer
- FedEx International Economy, advertised at 2 to 5 business days
- UPS Worldwide Expedited, advertised at 2 to 5 business days, and UPS Standard at 2 to 7 business days, depending on route
- Aramex Deferred Express (second-day service in its express range) and Economy Parcel Express
- DHL offers economy-type options on some routes
Express or economy?
- Choose express for deadlines, valuable documents and anything someone is waiting for.
- Choose economy for gifts, repeat shipments of samples, books and clothing that can take a few extra days.
- Ask for both prices. The saving depends on weight and destination, and is larger on heavier parcels.
What stays the same
Customs paperwork, declared value rules, restricted item rules and packing requirements are the same. Economy shipments can also be held at customs, so complete documents matter even more.
Rules and service names differ by carrier and destination country and change often. We confirm the details for your shipment before booking.
