I've found DTDC to be pretty sluggish. I've found TNT, Aramex, First Flight and few others to be better than DTDC. Bluedart and Fedex are slightly better in terms of customer support and tracking on the site, but more expensive too. Not 2k though. More like 250 bucks, unless you opt for insurance which would be calculated as a percentage of the cost of your shipment. Rest of them are in the 50-150 range.
