Shelf-stable food with reorder economics — the shipping problem is margin-thin weights.
Your city is your cheapest market
Same-city office snacking is a hyperlocal niche — trial packs delivered today.
Going national
Sub-500 g pouches in the cheapest slab; volumetric rarely bites.
| Decision | The right move |
|---|---|
| Same-city orders | Hyperlocal riders — per-trip pricing, hours not days |
| National orders | Surface express default, air for the urgent few |
| COD strategy | COD at scale needs remittance discipline — T+2 beats T+7 meaningfully here. |

Your first move
Nail the 500 g slab — every gram over it is a price jump you didn't charge for.
How it runs day to day
1
Orders flow in
Instagram DMs, WhatsApp or your store — Pure Parcel works inside Shopify and WooCommerce — quotes show on every order.
2
Quote per order
Same-city → rider fares; national → carrier rates. The cheapest option shows itself.
3
Book and hand off
Wallet holds the amount; rider collects or carrier manifests.
4
Customer tracks
Status syncs to the store — you stop answering 'kab aayega'.
One wallet, every carrier, per-order quoting — built for exactly this kind of mixed shipping.
