Fair Deal Express has been sending international courier from Chennai since 2006. For NRIs we offer three simple services: courier from your family in Chennai, a shop-and-ship service for Indian products, and full procurement where we buy for you.

1. Courier from your family in Chennai

Your family calls us, we collect from their door anywhere in Chennai, help with packing and paperwork, compare four carriers and send you the tracking number. Popular items: homemade snacks and sweets, sarees and clothes, documents, books, puja items and medicines (with a prescription, where the destination allows).

2. Shop and ship: order online, we forward

1. Message us on WhatsApp and we share our Chennai receiving address.
2. Order on Amazon India, Flipkart or any Indian online store and deliver it to that address.
3. We receive your orders, check them, combine several orders into one box to save shipping, and pack them for the journey.
4. We quote the best carrier for your country, ship it and send you the tracking number.

3. Procurement: we buy it for you

Some Indian stores do not accept foreign cards, and some products are only sold in shops. Send us a list or links and Fair Deal Express buys them for you. Pricing is simple: the Indian market price of the product plus a 5% service fee, plus international shipping. We confirm the total before we buy.

Group and bulk orders

Ordering with friends, an Indian association or a community group abroad? Combine everything in one bulk shipment and share the shipping cost. We also handle bulk orders for Indian shops and restaurants overseas, subject to the import rules of your country.

Common questions

Who pays customs duty in my country?

Usually the receiver pays any import duty and taxes, unless you choose a service where they are prepaid. Many countries charge little or nothing on low-value gifts, but the limit differs by country. We explain the options before booking.

How long do you keep my online orders?

Tell us how many orders you are waiting for and we hold them until all arrive, then ship together. Ask us about the holding period when you book.

How do I pay?

We confirm the full price on WhatsApp or email before we buy or ship, and share payment options at that time.
