Quick answer: RedX charges 0% COD inside Dhaka City and 1% for Gazipur, Savar, Narayanganj and everywhere outside Dhaka. Delivery charges are not published as one flat card; reported first-kg rates sit around ৳60 to ৳70 inside Dhaka City and ৳130 to ৳150 to district cities, with your exact rate shown in the merchant panel. Details and what to confirm below.
Third post in our courier charge series, after Steadfast and Pathao: what does RedX charge? RedX is a different animal on pricing, so this post is structured a bit differently: the numbers RedX states publicly, the reported ranges, and exactly what to confirm in your merchant panel before booking.
One honest note up front: unlike Pathao, RedX does not publish one flat public rate card. Your exact delivery charge appears in the merchant panel when you create a parcel, and it varies by area and weight. Everything below was checked in July 2026; treat the ranges as orientation, not gospel.
The Headline: 0% COD Charge Inside Dhaka City
This is RedX's sharpest edge and the number they advertise: 0% COD charge inside Dhaka City. For Gazipur, Savar, Narayanganj and everywhere outside Dhaka, the COD charge is 1% of the amount collected.
Compare the three big couriers on a ৳2,000 order delivered inside Dhaka City:
| Courier | COD charge inside Dhaka | On ৳2,000 |
|---|---|---|
| RedX | 0% | ৳0 |
| Pathao | 0.5% | ৳10 |
| Steadfast | 1% | ৳20 |
If you sell higher-value products (electronics, gadgets, premium cosmetics) mostly to Dhaka customers, that zero adds up fast: 200 Dhaka orders a month averaging ৳2,000 means ৳4,000 a month saved against a flat 1%.
Delivery Charge: Structure and Reported Ranges
RedX prices by zone and weight. The zones follow the usual shape:
- Inside Dhaka City: reported first-kg rates around ৳60 to ৳70, rising roughly ৳15 per added kg.
- Gazipur, Savar, Narayanganj (suburbs): reported around ৳100 to ৳115 for the first kg.
- Outside Dhaka (district cities): reported around ৳130 to ৳150 for the first kg.
- Remote/upazila areas: quoted case by case, often negotiated.
Reported figures differ between sources, which is exactly why the rule with RedX is: create a test parcel in the merchant panel and read your own rate. Volume merchants also get negotiated rates, so the panel number is the only one that matters.
Return Charge and Payouts
Two more numbers to confirm in the panel before you rely on RedX:
- Return charge: RedX runs reverse delivery for returned parcels; the exact return cost by zone shows in your merchant terms. Failed COD deliveries remain the biggest hidden cost with any courier: our guide on stopping fake COD orders is where the real savings are.
- Payout cycle: RedX remits COD on a regular cycle. If cash flow is tight, confirm the exact frequency against Steadfast's request-anytime payouts and Pathao's daily InstaPay before choosing.
Where RedX Wins: Reach
RedX cites a last-mile network of 490+ upazilas across all 64 districts. If your customers live beyond the district towns, in upazilas and rural bazars, this reach is the main reason to have RedX in your courier mix, whatever the per-parcel charge. Delivery times cited: about 24 hours inside Dhaka, 48 hours to suburbs, 72 hours outside Dhaka.
So Where Does RedX Fit?
- High-value orders inside Dhaka City: the 0% COD charge is unbeatable on paper. Do the math against your average order value.
- Deep rural customers: 490+ upazila reach is the widest commonly cited network.
- Predictable published pricing: Pathao's public rate card or Steadfast's flat routes are easier to plan around. With RedX, budget from your own panel rates.

The Bottom Line
RedX in one paragraph: 0% COD charge inside Dhaka City and 1% everywhere else, delivery charges that live in your merchant panel rather than a public rate card (reported around ৳60 to ৳70 first-kg inside Dhaka, ৳130 to ৳150 to districts), the widest commonly cited upazila reach at 490+, and roughly 24/48/72-hour delivery windows. Confirm your panel rate and payout cycle, test your area with a small volume, and spend your real effort cutting failed deliveries.
