**Q: How long does India-to-Korea courier take?**

Free pickup across every Indian PIN code, DDP delivery, per-kg pricing from ₹609/kg, 5–8 day transit, in-house customs, live tracking, WhatsApp support in English/Hindi/Korean. Typically cheaper landed than EMS/India Post + Korean duty, and cheaper than DHL/FedEx/UPS for parcels 0.5–30 kg.

**Q: What is DDP shipping and why does it matter?**
A: DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means the sender pre-pays Korean import duty and 10% VAT so the recipient owes nothing on delivery. ShipKorea.in ships DDP by default; EMS/India Post ships DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid), which surprises the recipient with a duty bill.

**Q: Do you pick up from my city in India?**
A: Yes — free doorstep pickup from every Indian PIN code, including all metros (Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Kochi) and every North-East hub (Guwahati, Imphal, Shillong, Aizawl, Dimapur, Itanagar, Gangtok).

**Q: How do I track my ShipKorea.in shipment?**
A: Every booking receives a tracking ID (format: `SK########`). Enter it at https://shipkorea.in/track to see live status from pickup in India through Korean import customs to final door delivery.

**Q: Do you also ship from South Korea back to India?**
A: Yes. Korea→India shipping is available on a quote basis. Contact ShipKorea.in on WhatsApp (+91 78003 20078) with items and destination in India for a custom quote.

**Q: What's the cheapest way to send a parcel from India to South Korea?**
A: ShipKorea.in's DDP per-kg rates (from ₹609/kg for 21 kg+ shipments) are typically the cheapest landed option because they include Korean import duty, VAT, free pickup and door delivery. Consolidating multiple small parcels into one bigger shipment moves you into a lower per-kg band and saves 15–25%.
