In today’s competitive global trade environment, the idea of “Smart shipping” is quickly fading. Rising fuel prices, increased customs scrutiny, and international regulations are pushing up costs. But that doesn’t mean smart businesses and individuals in Chennai can’t ship cost-effectively.
At Asia Express, we specialize in fast, affordable international courier shipments exclusively by air, from Chennai to destinations worldwide. Here’s how you can take control of your shipping costs.
Whether you’re sending a personal gift to the UK or commercial samples to the US, understanding how air freight is calculated helps you make better choices.
Carriers charge based on whichever is higher — the real weight or the volumetric weight, calculated using:
Volumetric Weight (kg) = L × W × H (in cm) ÷ 5000
Packing Hack: Compact, snug packaging can reduce your volumetric weight and cut your cost by 30% or more.
With Asia Express, you get the freedom to choose what works best — whether it’s a priority express option for time-sensitive deliveries or our standard air service for routine shipments. Both our branded partners and Asia Express Self-Network ensure reliable, on-time delivery with complete visibility.
Not in a rush? The standard service is a great way to ship smart — with all the essentials, just more value.
Customs duties vary depending on the destination and contents. India doesn’t handle this for exports, but your receiver must be aware of the charges applicable in their country.
Always check with us before shipping. We’ll guide you based on destination.
At Asia Express, we go beyond just shipping — we help you pack smarter, safer, and more efficiently to get the most value from your parcel.

Make the most of your international courier experience from Chennai with these insider tips — they help you save time, effort, and avoid delays:
✅ Ship During Daytime Hours
We strongly recommend daytime pickups — not only are they smoother for coordination, but it also ensures faster processing and same-day dispatch. Evening or last-minute bookings may lead to delays — help us serve you better by planning ahead!

🔖 Mention Contents Clearly
Mentioning vague terms like "personal items" on invoices can trigger customs delays. Be as specific and honest as possible: e.g., "4 cotton T-shirts" instead of "clothes". It speeds up clearance and builds trust with customs.
