Thread starter kiranmay89 Start date Sep 3, Hi Guys, Today I want share my experience of bike parcel in train. First I went to secunderabad station and enquired about parcel they told me to go Hyderbad for preference as i was not booking as luggage.
I went to Hyderabad Station and Asked in counter about parcel they told me first pack the bike and fill the parcel form. There will be guys who makes packing the bikes and they will Charge bucks max dont pay more than that.
We need to empty the petrol so the guys will try to clean it with cloth like dipping the cloth into tank using a stick dont allow them to do that. You can remove the petrol and keep open the tank for few mins the petrol will evaporate no need to clean with cloth. Double check that petrol was empty. Call the VRL Logistics Warehouse Office, provide the details of the destination, number of bikes and date of journey to narrow down the loading date and cost of the transport.
Remember that they accept only cash-payments currently, so remember to carry it along, accordingly. Post shifting. Receive Bids. Get instant quotes from multiple carriers, select the date and price that suits you. Choose a verified bike transporter. Track your Bike. My personal advise stay clear of Gati , its better to send your vehicle through railways atleast its cheaper and based on my experience more reliable.
My only regret is that I fell for the assurance of Gati on bike safety instead of listening to hundreds reviews about their service. This varies from state to state — some state allow you to ride your bike for as long as a year, while some state — for example the infamous Karnataka — only lets you ride for a month.
The price of shipping a bike varies depends on the level of service you seek, and the service and shipping providers you choose. Minimum distance for charge for all parcels, except registered Newspapers and Magazines, is 50 kilometers and the minimum charge is Rs. Minimum distance for charge for the registered Newspapers and Magazines is kilometers and the minimum charge is Rs. If you are booking the bike as your luggage, carry at least two or three copies of mandatory documents of the bike with you.
Fill the form providing the relevant information and pay the bike parcel charges as intimated. Let your bike get parcelled or packed by a packer. You can find a lot of trained packers who can parcel it to perfection. Book the bike as luggage and carry the luggage receipt with you. You will also receive an endorsement along with the train ticket. These two documents are essential to get the delivery of the bike.
According to Wikipedia, A parcel is a package bearing the name and address of the recipient in order to be routed through the services of a postal service or by express package delivery service to the recipient. Parcel service in Indian Rail work like you can pack and submit the Bike in parcel office of Indian Rail.
Railway directly delivered the parcel on destination station and receipts mentioned on parcel can collect the same from Railway station.
That means Bike Parcel in Indian rail works similar to other parcel company services like Packers and Movers etc. The bike will be sent in any train to the destination station and will reach in around 4 — 5 days or earlier depending upon the distance. As I said earlier as well Indian Railways providing this service with low cost compared to others in the market. The bike parcel charges generally vary based on the weight of the bike and the distance. The distance slabs are marked by kilo meters.
For example, if the distance of transport is km, and if your bike weighs about KG, you should pay Rs. Packing is one of the most crucial part. Mostly, people just tie a plastic bag to do a formality. Basic packing: They wrap handle of the bike using a plastic bag and sack cloth bora or bori. Its cheapest and useless. You can just do it yourselves too. Medium packing : They wrap up multiple layer of cardboard box to the handle and front which ensures no damage to headlights indicators and handle too.
Along with that they will wrap up all the body parts which are exposed, except tires only. Along with that they will wrap up the vehicle from below too and stitch it. Its best for medium ranged bikes like Splender, Passion the one with less fibre parts. Maximum secure packing : They wrap up all body parts, using cardboard box layers followed by plastic bags along with sack cloth.
Almost each and every part will be covered head to toe with multiple layers. Also some use dry grass or bottles which acts as shock absorbers. Its the best and is more than sufficient for sports bikes too. Make sure to empty the petrol tank. If found bike with fuel then will get Rs. Also please note some case RPF may take criminal case and are able to put in Prison for 6 Months to 2 years. Its all depended on person to person.
So take care of this rule. If your bike lost in an unexpected accident then Railways will pay as per the declared value of Bike. If you are unable to unload and collect from train at your destination station then there is option book bike parcel to nearest major railway station.
