Delhivery has raised shipping charges for D2C brands right as festive-season order volumes start climbing, adding a new network surcharge on every express and surface shipment. For WooCommerce sellers routing most orders through Delhivery, even a small per-parcel increase compounds fast once volumes double through the Navratri-to-Diwali stretch. This guide covers what changed, how much more you’ll pay per shipment, and how to protect your margins by managing live carrier rates directly from your store. The surcharge applies on top of existing contracted rates and is charged automatically on shipments manifested from that date onward. For parcels over 500 grams, the combined effect is roughly a 5-10% increase in per-shipment cost, depending on the weight slab and service type.
