Frequently Asked Questions by Students & Parents

Everything you need to know about student luggage and home parcel delivery.

How can parents send a parcel to a college hostel?

Parents simply log on to Shipflee, enter the home pickup address and the student's hostel name, room/block number, and college address. An executive picks up the parcel right from your home, and it gets delivered directly to the hostel warden or recipient student.

Local courier shops charge retail markups of ₹100–₹150/kg plus extra pickup fees. Shipflee gives you direct access to commercial wholesale rates from top couriers like Delhivery and Ekart, saving you up to 60% with 100% free doorstep pickup included.
