I was surprised !! :
Normal Letter Postal charges for 290 gms is Rs. 75.00...
- slow, un-registered, no tracking..
Domestic Tariff( As on 30th June-2006)
Weight | Local | Upto 200 Kms | 201 to 1000 Kms | 1001 to 2000 Kms | Above2000 Kms |
Upto 200 Gms | Rs. 20 | Rs. 25 | Rs. 30 | Rs. 50 | Rs. 50 |
201 to 500 Gms | Rs. 20 | Rs. 40 | Rs, 45 | Rs. 60 | Rs. 60 |
Additional 500 Gms or Part | Rs. 5 | Rs.7.5 | Rs. 10 | Rs. 20 | Rs. 25 |
So I did the Speed Post of my Article which was infact 1 book we were giving as gift to some of our relatives on their birthday !!
The charges were Rs. 45.00 + Taxes = Rs. 50.00 only
- Fast Delivery(All my Speed Posts tell date reached either 2nd or 3rd day to Pune from Bangalore).
- Registered
- Tracking Facility !!

This was revealing. No wonder the postal department wants to ban private courier companies from handling document couriers!!!
It is time the Indian government got out of the colonial mindset and let the cash-cows go feed themselves :-)
