"Angadia" term stands for a traditional courier service in India. Besides taking your mails to small towns, they carry diamonds, gold, silver etc. This business is done purely on trust. Though they deliver almost all precious items, their business mainly comprises of diamonds. It's because diamonds are small in size and of less in weight as compared to their value, and as they charge as per the value of shipment, they gain more money.

Most of the diamonds are polished in cities of Gujarat like Surat, Navsari, Bhavnagar and are then sent to Mumbai thro' Angadias. There are about 40 Angadia companies are engaged in this business. Not only they are trusted, but the delivery is also assured and generally is done in time. These service is quite old and is mostly owned by"Patels" of Gujarat.

They send money to their home thro' Angadia and are charged 2-15 % as per delivery schedule. If they want delivery after 8 days, the charge is 2 % and for delivery within 2 hours charge is as high as 15 %.
