Sending cargo for a Punjabi wedding
Wedding season is one of the busiest times for cargo to Punjab. If you’re sending outfits, jewellery boxes (without valuables), gifts or decorations for a wedding:
- Book early: allow at least 16 weeks for sea cargo, or send urgent items by air.
- Split the shipment: send outfits and last-minute items by air, and bulk gifts and household items by sea.
- Don’t send valuables: cash, gold and jewellery should not go in cargo.
- List everything: a clear contents list helps your shipment clear customs smoothly.
Addressing your boxes for Punjab
Many delays to Punjab come down to incomplete addresses, especially for villages. On every box, write:

- The six-digit PIN code

💡 Tip: put a copy of the address inside the box too, in case the outer label is damaged in transit.
