Same-day medicine delivery in Kottayam

The short answer
Yes, Deelo Parcel delivers medicines the same day in Kottayam and the surrounding service area. A runner collects from your pharmacy in the window you choose and delivers to the patient's door with OTP verification at handover; the pharmacy bill travels with the parcel.
When people use this
- Repeat prescriptions to elderly parents living alone
- Urgent medicines from a hospital pharmacy to a ward or home
- Ayurveda preparations from local dispensaries and vaidyasalas
- Diabetic supplies and test strips on a monthly cycle
- Medical samples between a clinic and a diagnostic lab
How to pack it
- Keep strips and bottles in the pharmacy's sealed bag with the bill inside — it speeds up any question at the other end.
- Insulin and other cold-chain items need a small ice pack and an insulated pouch; tell us at booking so the runner goes direct.
- Liquids and syrups should stand upright inside a rigid box, not loose in a carry bag.
What we cannot carry
- We carry medicines against a valid prescription or pharmacy bill. We do not carry narcotics or Schedule X drugs.
- We are a courier, not a pharmacy. We do not source or purchase medicines on your behalf.
Size and price
Medicine Delivery normally books as a Small parcel — anything that fits in a backpack and weighs under 5 kg. It travels by bike, and a typical 6 km city run costs about ₹124 all-in including GST — the same fare as any other size. The exact fare is shown before you confirm.
How it works
OTP at both ends
A one-time code is verified at pickup and again at handover, so a parcel can never be collected or released to the wrong person.
Live tracking on a map
You watch the runner move in real time, with an ETA that counts down and a notification when they are close.
Verified runners
Every runner is ID-checked and address-verified before their first job, and carries a rating you can see before handover.
Instant, upfront pricing
The full fare is shown before you confirm. There is no surge, no per-kilometre surprise and no charge until a runner accepts.

Medicine Delivery — questions
Can I send medicines that need refrigeration?
Short cold-chain hops are fine if you pack an ice pack in an insulated pouch and mark the parcel at booking. The runner will take the direct route rather than batching the trip.
Do you need a prescription to carry medicine?
The pharmacy's bill or a copy of the prescription should travel with the parcel. We do not verify prescriptions ourselves, but they must be present for regulated medicines.
How quickly can medicine reach a patient?
It depends on the two addresses and the window you choose; there is no guaranteed number of minutes. Once a runner accepts, the live ETA on the map is the figure to trust. For anything urgent, book the earliest window and mark it at booking so the runner goes direct.
How does same-day courier work?
You enter a pickup address and a destination in the Deelo Parcel app, choose a parcel size and a pickup window, and see the full fare before confirming. A runner accepts, collects from your door and takes the parcel directly to the recipient the same day. An OTP is verified at both ends.
How much does parcel delivery cost?
Deelo Parcel starts at ₹36 all-in for a short city run. The fare is ₹30 base (covers the first 1 km) + ₹15/km (Launch offer; regular ₹18/km) + 18% GST — it depends on distance only, not on parcel size, and there is no platform fee. The full price is shown before you confirm, and there is no surge pricing.
How long does delivery take?
It depends on the two addresses, the pickup window you choose and how many runners are working that day. You book a morning, afternoon or evening window, and once a runner accepts, a live ETA counts down on the map and updates as they move. Deelo Parcel does not offer a guaranteed delivery time.
