Short answer
Transport companies and courier agents operate all along Ring Road, and most traders can book dispatch to any Indian city the same day. Bulk goods go by truck or rail transport; smaller parcels by courier.
Ask your trader which transporter they use for your city; many have long-standing arrangements and will deliver goods to the transport office for you. You will receive a booking receipt (LR, lorry receipt) to track the consignment.
Delivery times depend on distance and season. Before Diwali and the wedding season, transport capacity gets tight, so book early. Check that goods are packed and labelled with your name, city and the number of parcels.
