How TCS Calculates Courier Charges
TCS Express uses a multi-factor pricing model to determine shipping costs for domestic and international deliveries. Understanding these factors helps you estimate accurate charges and choose the most cost-effective service option for your needs.
Weight-Based Pricing Structure
TCS charges are primarily calculated based on parcel weight, with rates increasing incrementally per kilogram. The courier service applies either actual weight or volumetric weight—whichever is greater—to ensure fair pricing for bulky but lightweight items. For standard domestic shipments, rates start from approximately PKR 200-280 per kg depending on the service type selected.
Distance and Zone Classification
Shipping costs vary significantly based on the distance between origin and destination cities. TCS categorizes routes into zones: within-city deliveries (lowest rates), major intercity routes like Karachi-Lahore, and remote area shipments (highest rates). Same-city deliveries typically cost 15-20% less than intercity shipments for identical weight parcels.
Service Speed Premium
The delivery speed you select directly impacts the final cost. Overnight express service commands premium rates (PKR 280+ per kg), while economy service offers savings of 25-30% with 2-3 day delivery times. Same-day delivery within major cities carries the highest rates, approximately 40-50% more than standard overnight service.
TCS Rate Chart – Complete Pricing Guide
Whether you’re an individual sender or running an e‑commerce business, understanding TCS courier charges helps you budget accurately and choose the right service. Typical domestic rates for a 1 kg parcel fall in the PKR 250–300 range for standard overnight express service, while faster same‑day or economy options adjust this cost up or down.
Domestic Shipping Rates by Weight
TCS Pakistan calculates charges mainly by parcel weight, with different price bands for overnight, economy, and same‑day services. The following mini charts show typical 2026 price ranges for major domestic routes in simple, mobile‑friendly blocks instead of wide tables.

Cash on Delivery (COD) Charges
TCS adds COD fees on top of normal courier charges for cash‑on‑delivery parcels, usually based on the order value slab rather than weight. Using narrow, stacked bands keeps these fees easy to read on any screen.
Order value 0–5,000 PKR: approx. PKR 50–100 COD fee
5,001–10,000 PKR: approx. PKR 100–150 COD fee
10,001–20,000 PKR: approx. PKR 150–250 COD fee
20,001–50,000 PKR: approx. PKR 250–400 COD fee
50,000+ PKR: higher custom fee, usually a slightly larger percentage of order value
Special Service Charges & Add‑Ons
Beyond standard parcel shipping, TCS offers several value‑added services that carry extra charges, which are best presented as simple stacked items instead of a wide table.
Insurance (CVI): About 0.5% of declared value, with a minimum charge for coverage on higher‑value shipments.
Red Box and other premium international services: Priority options with flat fees higher than standard international rates.
TCS Hazir doorstep pickup: Extra fee per pickup on top of normal delivery charge, popular with small businesses.
Heavy cargo services: Custom per‑kg quotes for shipments above typical courier weight limits, especially for intra‑city and intercity freight.
Document express services: Preferential handling and faster routing for time‑sensitive paperwork at a modest premium over basic document rates.
Understanding Additional Costs
The final amount you pay usually includes a fuel surcharge of around 10% plus an 18% GST applied on top of the base courier charge, in line with how courier services are taxed. COD handling fees and optional insurance are added separately, so businesses should factor these extras into their pricing when using TCS for cash‑on‑delivery or high‑value shipments.
International Shipping Rates & Zones
TCS serves over 220 countries worldwide through partnerships with global carriers like UPS, DHL, and FedEx, making it a one-stop solution for both domestic and international shipping needs. International courier rates vary significantly based on destination zone, parcel weight, and service type (express vs economy), with documents typically costing less than parcels due to streamlined customs processing.

International Express vs Economy Service
TCS international shipping offers two main service tiers that let you balance speed against cost, similar to how domestic overnight and economy options work.
Express International (Priority)
Faster customs clearance through UPS/DHL partnerships
Typically 30–40% more expensive than economy
Best for: time-sensitive documents, urgent business samples, gift deadlines
Example: 1 kg to UAE express = PKR 5,500–6,000 vs economy = PKR 4,000–4,500
Economy International (Saver)
Slightly longer transit (adds 2–4 days to typical delivery window)
Cost savings of 25–35% compared to express
Best for: non-urgent parcels, bulk shipments, personal items
Example: 5 kg to UK economy = PKR 11,000–13,000 vs express = PKR 15,000–17,000
RedBox International Service
TCS RedBox is a specialized premium service for sending fixed-weight parcels (1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 kg) at flat rates that can be more economical than standard international pricing for heavier items. RedBox is ideal for e-commerce sellers, families sending gifts abroad, and businesses shipping product samples, because the pre-defined weight slabs eliminate surprise charges and the service includes enhanced tracking through TCS’s global partner network.
Customs, Duties & Documentation
International shipments require additional paperwork and may incur customs duties at the destination country, which are not included in TCS’s quoted courier charges. Senders must provide a commercial invoice (for goods) or document declaration, and the receiver may need to pay import taxes based on the destination country’s customs regulations—TCS will handle the logistics but cannot waive government-imposed duties. Prohibited items (weapons, hazardous materials, certain food products) cannot be shipped, and restricted items (electronics, currency, jewelry) require special declarations and may face longer clearance times.
Business Savings Calculator – Optimize Your Shipping Costs
TCS courier charges for businesses become significantly more affordable when you ship in volume, with bulk discounts, monthly billing options, and dedicated account management available for e-commerce sellers and companies shipping multiple parcels daily. Online stores using platforms like Daraz, Shopify, or independent websites rely heavily on TCS COD services to collect payments at customers’ doorsteps, making accurate cost calculation essential for maintaining healthy profit margins.

Corporate Account Benefits for High-Volume Shippers
Businesses shipping 500+ parcels monthly can unlock significant additional savings and premium features through TCS corporate accounts, which include volume-based discounts of 10–15%, monthly billing instead of per-shipment payment, and a dedicated account manager who helps optimize routes and service selection. Corporate clients also receive priority pickup services, API integration for seamless order management, and customized logistics solutions that adapt to seasonal volume changes—features especially valuable for growing e-commerce businesses.
COD Fee Structure for Online Sellers
Cash-on-delivery remains the dominant payment method in Pakistan’s e-commerce market, and understanding TCS COD charges is critical for pricing your products competitively. The COD fee structure operates on order value slabs rather than weight, so a PKR 2,000 order and a 5 kg parcel both pay around PKR 75–100 COD fee, while higher-value orders of PKR 15,000–20,000 incur approximately PKR 150–250 in COD handling charges.
Typical COD Fee Bands:
Orders PKR 0–5,000: Approximately PKR 50–100 handling fee
Orders PKR 5,001–10,000: Approximately PKR 100–150 handling fee
Orders PKR 10,001–20,000: Approximately PKR 150–250 handling fee
Orders PKR 20,001–50,000: Approximately PKR 250–400 handling fee
Orders above PKR 50,000: Custom fee based on percentage of order value
Monthly Billing vs Pay-Per-Shipment
Small businesses and startups typically use pay-per-shipment where you pay at drop-off or on delivery, which offers flexibility but no volume discounts or credit terms. Once you reach consistent volume of 100+ parcels monthly, switching to monthly billing through a corporate account provides better cash flow management, consolidated invoicing, and automatic application of bulk discount rates that can reduce your per-parcel cost by 5–15%.
How to Qualify for Bulk Discounts
TCS evaluates bulk discount eligibility based on average monthly shipping volume rather than one-time large shipments, so consistent business generates better rates than occasional spikes. To request corporate pricing, contact TCS at corporate@tcs.com.pk or call 111-892-000 with your estimated monthly volume, average parcel weight, primary routes, and service preferences—the team will provide a customized rate card typically within 2–3 business days.
Volume Tiers (Approximate Discount Levels):
50–99 parcels/month: ~5% discount on standard rates
100–199 parcels/month: ~7% discount + monthly billing option
200–499 parcels/month: ~10% discount + dedicated support
500+ parcels/month: ~12–15% discount + full corporate benefits
Money-Saving Tips – Cut Your Shipping Costs by 30%+
Smart shippers can reduce TCS courier charges significantly without compromising delivery quality by optimizing packaging, choosing the right service tier, and leveraging volume discounts.
🎯 Eight Proven Cost-Reduction Strategies
1. 📦 Choose Economy Service for Non-Urgent Shipments
TCS Economy Service costs 20–30% less than Overnight Express and typically adds only 1–2 extra days to delivery time.
5 kg Economy parcel: PKR 450–500
5 kg Overnight Express: PKR 600–650
Savings: PKR 150 per parcel (34% reduction)
Best for: Routine business shipments, non-perishable products, flexible deadlines
For businesses shipping 100+ orders monthly, this single change saves PKR 15,000/month with minimal delivery time impact.
2. 📏 Right-Size Your Packaging to Beat Volumetric Weight Charges
TCS applies volumetric weight pricing when dimensional size (length × width × height ÷ 5000) exceeds actual weight, so a light but bulky package gets billed as if it weighs 3–5 kg even when it’s only 1 kg.
Oversized box (12″×12″×12″): Charged at 3–4 kg
Right-sized box (10″×8″×6″): Charged at actual 1 kg
Savings: PKR 100–200 per shipment
Best for: Clothing, electronics accessories, light bulky items
Eliminating excess void space keeps your chargeable weight at actual weight—use appropriately sized boxes and minimal cushioning material.
3. 📦 Consolidate Multiple Small Parcels into One Shipment
Sending three separate 1 kg parcels to the same city costs roughly PKR 750–900 total, while consolidating them into one 3 kg parcel typically costs only PKR 350–450.
Three 1 kg parcels: PKR 750–900 total (PKR 250–300 each)
One 3 kg parcel: PKR 350–450 total
Savings: PKR 300–450 (40–50% reduction)
Best for: Multiple orders to same neighborhood, family shipments to relatives
This strategy works especially well for businesses with multiple orders going to the same delivery zone.
4. 🏢 Use Hub Drop-Off Instead of Pickup Service
TCS Hazir pickup service charges an additional PKR 100–200 per pickup on top of normal courier fees, while dropping parcels at your nearest TCS office eliminates this cost entirely.
Pickup service: Base rate + PKR 100–200 extra
Hub drop-off: Base rate only
Savings: PKR 100–200 per shipment
Best for: Senders within 2–3 km of TCS branch
For daily or weekly shippers, the 10–15 minute time investment easily justifies the PKR 100+ savings.
5. ⚖️ Understand Weight Slab Breakpoints and Round Down
TCS charges in 0.5 kg or 1 kg weight slabs, meaning a 1.1 kg parcel costs the same as a 1.5 kg parcel because both fall into the “1–2 kg” pricing band.
2.2 kg parcel: Falls in “2–3 kg” slab = higher rate
1.9 kg parcel: Falls in “1–2 kg” slab = lower rate
Savings: PKR 50–80 per shipment
Best for: Parcels near weight thresholds
When packing, trim packaging material to stay just under the next weight threshold—small effort, consistent savings.
6. 🛡️ Skip Optional Insurance for Low-Value Items
TCS insurance (CVI coverage) costs approximately 0.5–1% of declared value with minimum fees, so insuring a PKR 2,000 item adds PKR 50–100 to your bill.
Insurance for PKR 2,000 item: PKR 50–100 extra
Insurance for PKR 10,000 item: PKR 150–200 extra
Savings: PKR 50–150 per shipment
Best for: Routine shipments under PKR 5,000 (clothing, books, replaceable goods)
Save insurance for electronics, jewelry, or high-value business documents where the peace of mind justifies the expense.
7. ✈️ Leverage RedBox for Fixed-Weight International Shipments
For international parcels that align with TCS RedBox weight slabs (1, 2, 3, 5, 10 kg), RedBox flat rates often beat standard international pricing by 15–25%.
5 kg to UAE (standard international express): PKR 10,000–11,000
5 kg to UAE (RedBox 5 kg slab): PKR 8,500–9,000
Savings: PKR 1,500–2,000 per shipment
Best for: E-commerce sellers shipping product samples, fixed-weight gifts abroad
RedBox service is optimized for exact weight slabs, making it ideal when your parcel matches those weights perfectly.
8. 💼 Negotiate Corporate Rates at 50+ Monthly Shipments
Even small businesses shipping 50–100 parcels monthly qualify for basic bulk discounts of 5–7%, which compounds dramatically over a year.
100 parcels/month at PKR 300 each: PKR 30,000/month
7% corporate discount applied: PKR 27,900/month
Savings: PKR 2,100/month = PKR 25,200/year
Best for: Consistent monthly volume (50+ parcels)
Contact corporate@tcs.com.pk or call 111-892-000 with your volume estimates—the process takes 2–3 business days with no minimum commitment.

How much does TCS charge per kg?
TCS rates vary by route, service type (Same Day, Overnight, Express, Economy), and weight slabs—not flat per-kg pricing. For example, Karachi↔Lahore Overnight typically costs PKR 200–350 for 0.5–2 kg parcels. Use the official TCS rate calculator or TCS courier charges guide to get accurate estimates for your specific shipment.
What is TCS CVI insurance and do I need it?
How do I file a complaint if my TCS parcel is delayed or lost?
Call 111-123-456, email info@tcs.com.pk, or use the TCS complaint guide to file formal complaints.

TCS prohibits explosives, flammables, weapons, narcotics, live animals, perishable foods without proper packaging, counterfeit goods, and hazardous chemicals. International shipments have additional restrictions (batteries, liquids, aerosols, tobacco). See the full TCS prohibited and restricted items list before booking to avoid shipment rejection or legal penalties.
Does TCS deliver to my area?
How long does TCS take to deliver domestically?
Is TCS better than Leopards or M&P for e-commerce?
TCS leads for reliability, tracking, and customer support—ideal for brands where delivery experience impacts reputation. Leopards offers 5–15% cheaper rates with decent COD tools, good for high-volume sellers on tight margins. M&P works for bulk cargo but has higher complaint rates. CallCourier is the budget COD specialist (30–40% cheaper) but sacrifices service quality. Read the full TCS vs Leopards vs M&P comparison to decide which fits your business model.
Conclusion
TCS remains Pakistan’s most reliable courier service in 2026, combining nationwide coverage, robust tracking infrastructure, and consistent delivery performance across Same Day, Overnight, Express, and international routes. While competitors like Leopards, M&P, and CallCourier offer lower rates for specific use cases, TCS delivers the best balance of speed, reliability, and customer support for time-sensitive shipments, e-commerce operations, and cross-border parcels.
