Canada to India
Connecting India, Canada & USA (Import & Export)
With the growing Indian community and increasing demand for Indian products in Canada and the USA, individuals and businesses need a shipping partner they can trust. Whether you are sending or receiving documents, parcels, gifts for family or samples for your business, a simple shipping solution is consolidation: combining multiple smaller shipments into one larger shipment by air or sea. Our goal is to make international shipping simple, reliable and cost-effective, from pickup and consolidation to customs clearance and last-mile delivery.

Select the option that most closely matches your timeline and budget. There are two main ways: air consolidation and sea consolidation. Air consolidation is for time-sensitive shipments, the faster option for business and personal shipments, with predictable scheduling of approximately 9 business days, transparent pricing and end-to-end shipment tracking. Sea consolidation is the cheapest option for bigger shipments that are not urgent and typically takes 55 days.
All export shipments are delivered to your customer's doorstep anywhere in India. For import shipments from India, we are equipped with DHL, UPS and FedEx for express delivery, typically 5 business days, or our self-network service, which is cost-effective and typically takes 10 business days. A KYC document is mandatory for both import and export shipments.

What you can send
Documents, parcels, gifts and more

Legal papers, educational transcripts, immigration and business documents. Documents generally move fastest and clear customs most easily.
Parcels and gifts
Clothing, chocolates, toys, home goods and gifts for weddings, Rakhi, Diwali and birthdays. We help you pack so they arrive safely.
Excess baggage
Books, kitchenware, textiles and personal effects, a practical alternative to costly airline excess baggage when you are travelling or relocating.
Commercial goods

Transit times
Transit time depends on the service level and destination in India. Express options are fastest for urgent items, while economy costs less and takes a little longer. We confirm the estimated transit time for your shipment when you book.
Seasonal note
Around Diwali, Rakhi, Christmas and the wedding season, parcels to India rise sharply and customs can be busier. Send a week or two earlier than usual so your gifts arrive in good time, and book your pickup ahead.
Helpful guides
Reviews
Trusted for shipments to India
“I sent a couple of parcels through DTDC to India. It is way cheaper and still quick compared to any other shipping service. The process is simple and easy too. 1000% recommended.”
“The most credible, and the cheapest courier services in the town. Must try. They are trustworthy, transparent and polite.”
“The service is fast and very reasonable. The team is super helpful and has eased my worries of sending parcels home on time. I have been a customer with Smart Save for a couple of years now and will continue to do so, because I don't think any other courier service will match up to the price. Smart Save team, you're the best!”

Still unsure? Call our team on (647) 534-4630 and we will talk it through.
What is consolidated shipping?
It is combining several smaller shipments into one larger shipment before it travels to India by air or sea. Grouping shipments this way brings the per-kilogram cost down, and we handle the customs and KYC paperwork for the combined shipment on your behalf.
How long does consolidated shipping to India take?
Consolidated shipping to India by air typically takes 9 business days, counted from the day after the goods leave Canada. Sea consolidation typically takes 55 days.
Is consolidated shipping suitable for urgent deliveries?
No, it may not be the best option for urgent deliveries, as packages are grouped before they travel to the final destination. Sea consolidation takes about 55 days. For anything urgent, ask us about express international shipping instead.
Can I track my shipment?
Yes. You can follow your shipment through the group tracker linked in our top menu, and we are always happy to check on it for you.
