Standard prices start at €10 for 1 kg, €18 for 2 kg and €25 for 3 kg. You agree the final price with the traveller in the app; documents and fragile items may be priced differently.
How fast does it arrive in Kolkata?
It travels with the traveller on their flight to Kolkata (CCU). Each trip shows the flight date, so you know when it leaves Frankfurt.
Can I also send from Kolkata to Frankfurt?
Yes. Carrykin works both ways – Germany to India and India to Germany. Search Kolkata → Frankfurt to find travellers flying back.
How do I pay?
During the free trial Carrykin does not handle payments and takes no fee: you agree the price in the chat and pay the traveller directly (bank transfer, UPI or cash at the handover). Handover and delivery codes confirm every step.

Personal items such as clothes, books, documents, gifts and factory-sealed food, within the traveller’s duty-free allowance. Fresh food, medicines for others, cash and sealed packages are not allowed.
