Leopards Parcel Rates: How Shipping Charges Work in Pakistan
Quick Answer
Leopards parcel prices depend on the weight (or the size, if that is higher), how far the parcel is going, the service you choose and any tax or fuel charge. Leopards has not published a public price list we could check, so always ask at a Leopards Express Centre for the exact price.

How Leopards Works Out Parcel Prices
Four main things decide what you pay:
1. Weight or size
The price starts with the parcel’s weight. If a box is big but light, Leopards may charge by its size instead. Heavier parcels cost more.
2. Destination Distance Zone
How far the parcel travels changes the price. A parcel within your own city usually costs less than one going to another city or province, such as Karachi to Lahore.
3. The service you choose
Faster overnight services cost more. Leopards Overland is cheaper and slower, and is meant for bulk and heavy parcels of 10 kg or more.
4. Fuel charges and tax
The bill may include a fuel charge that changes with fuel prices, and sales tax set by the province where you book. Check the amounts on your receipt.
How Size-Based Weight Is Worked Out
Many people are surprised that a big, light box (for example, one full of pillows or crisps) is not charged only by its weight. Trucks and planes have limited space, so a box that takes up a lot of room may be charged by its Volumetric Weight.
The Rule: Leopards compares the real weight on the scale with the size-based weight. You pay for whichever is higher.
How Leopards Services Compare
Exact prices change, but this is how the main Leopards services compare:
| Service Category | Applicable Weight | Relative Pricing | Best Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overnight Express (Flyer) | Small parcels | Standard Express Rate | Urgent papers, small electronics and clothes |
| Yellow Box (Packaged Carton) | Up to 10 kg | Priced by box size | Gifts, clothes and boxed shop items |
| Overland Surface Cargo | 10 kg or more | Lower price, slower | Bulk business stock, parts and heavy goods |
| Cash on Delivery (COD) | Variable Retail Size | Delivery charge + COD fee | Online orders where the rider collects cash at the door |
Tips to Spend Less on Shipping
If you send parcels often, these tips can cut your costs:
Ask about a business account
Online sellers who send parcels regularly can ask Leopards about business rates.
Minimize Box Dead Space
Use a box that fits. Sending small items in a big box can make you pay for size-based weight, which raises the price.
Sales Tax on Courier Bills
Courier services in Pakistan are charged sales tax by the province where the parcel is booked:
Sindh and Punjab
In Sindh, the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) sets the tax. In Punjab, it is the Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA). The rate can change, so check the tax line on your receipt.
KPK and Balochistan
In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the tax is set by the KPK Revenue Authority (KPRA), and in Balochistan by the Balochistan Revenue Authority (BRA). Businesses registered for sales tax may be able to claim it back.
Leopards Parcel Rate Questions
Does Leopards give free boxes and flyers?
Ask at the counter. Leopards sells Yellow Box cartons for parcels up to 10 kg, priced by box size rather than weight.
How much is the COD fee?
The COD fee depends on the seller’s agreement with Leopards. We could not confirm a standard rate, so sellers should ask Leopards directly.
