Our Operational Role

How Prefer Logistics Works as Your 3PL Intermediary

Instead of dealing with rigid carrier depots, minimum volume contracts, and complex customs documentation directly, Prefer Logistics acts as your authorized single-window intermediary. We aggregate shipping volume across North India, securing corporate wholesale tier rates that we pass on to retail senders, exporters, and SMEs.

When you book with us, we inspect, repackage, and optimize your consignment in Chandigarh, manage export compliance, and directly inject it into FedEx, DHL, Blue Dart, or UPS lines with primary carrier Airway Bills.

Knowledge & Support

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers regarding shipping rates, packaging regulations, volumetric formulas, and customs duties.

Airlines charge based on the greater of actual dead weight vs volumetric dimensional weight. The standard international courier formula is (Length × Width × Height in CM) / 5000. For example, a lightweight parcel of 3 KG measuring 40×40×30 cm has a volumetric weight of 9.6 KG, and charges apply for 9.6 KG. At Prefer Logistics, we professionally resize boxes to eliminate empty space and save your shipping budget.
As a 3PL consolidation intermediary, Prefer Logistics pools high consignment volumes to secure wholesale commercial rates that individual senders and small businesses cannot access directly. You receive savings of 20% to 45%, complimentary doorstep collection across Chandigarh Tricity, customs paperwork preparation, and personal phone assistance without waiting in call centre queues.
For personal shipments (gifts, personal effects, NRI student packets): A copy of sender’s Aadhaar card/Passport, PAN card, and an itemized packing list with approximate values. For commercial exports: IEC (Import Export Code), GST certificate, commercial invoice, and packing declaration. Prefer Logistics assists in drafting all required declarations.
Every shipment booked with Prefer Logistics receives an internal tracking ID (e.g., PL-2610-FEDEX1) as well as the official partner Airway Bill number (FedEx, DHL, Blue Dart, UPS). You can enter either number on our Track Shipment page or directly in the Customer Portal to view real-time checkpoint timestamps and carrier progress.
Standard international courier rates are quoted on a DAP (Delivered at Place) basis. Freight, fuel surcharge, and departure handling are included. Destination customs duties and local taxes (VAT/GST) vary by country threshold and are paid by the recipient upon parcel arrival, unless a DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) arrangement is requested prior to dispatch.
Yes. We offer daily scheduled doorstep collection across Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula. For corporate clients and large consignments across Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Patiala, and Ambala, we arrange specialized feeder line vehicles or consolidated branch pickups.
