Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

I will be sending a parcel to India (mainly clothes) from the UK, the weight will be approx 60 kg and anticipated delivery within 2 - 3 months by sea. Can you please provide details of reliable companies (reasonable price) that you may have used?

Never used any as normally send in relatives suitcases. But you can get a quote online, although I saw it in homebase.

Also try the Indian stores as they may do parcel service, but not sure about this.

Ive used myhermes to return clothing ordered online via an Indian store, but not sure how reliable the international delivery is.

60 Kg? wow, my wife tries to fit that much into one suit case! On our recent trip to Punjab she took 6 suit cases, cabin trolley, and handbag. I had a rucksack...LOL. As is the case with most Punjabi's she brought more back, luckily the staff in Amritsar were kind and did not charge us :respect:

do you have relatives that can take that much weight, there's always someone going be free :lol2:.

or try https://www.parcelmonkey.co.uk/international/india. For about the same price get a ticket yourself and take 2/3 of the weight.

Thanks all. Shipping prices are shocking. I'm planning on going to punjab either this year or early next so will take the items myself.

Inderjit singh my wife got carried away with shopping at primark and alum rock (suits) hence the 60kg the original plan was to send the parcel and pack our suitcases full (to breaking point) when we go.

We flew via Jet you can take 23Kg x 2 each into the hold and 7Kg on board. Think Air India has the same allowance. Be careful with Jet though if flying to Amritsar from Heathrow, as the luggage has to be checked in at Delhi again (yes taken off the belt) before going to domestic transfers.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
