Service made available to metropolitan Sydney customers, with national rollout expected next year
Sendle will offer international door-to-door delivery service including global flat rates to small businesses in Sydney starting today.
Customers within 15km of the Sydney CBD will be able to avail Sendle’s international delivery service to send parcels to 220 countries and territories around the globe.
Retailers will have access to free pick-ups, online booking and global flat rate pricing starting at $14.95 for a 250g package.
Sendle’s global shipping service is so far available across 183 postcodes in Sydney, with plans to roll out the service nationally next year.
“At Sendle, our vision is to level the playing field by unlocking the power of big business logistics for those at the smaller end of town,” Sendle co-founder and CEO James Moody says.
“Our new international shipping service will save small business owners time, money and a trip to the Post Office, allowing them to focus on what really matters — efficiently exporting their products and scaling their business.
“With a recent study estimating that 20 per cent of all e-commerce would be cross-border by 2022, this is more important now than ever before for thousands of Aussie small businesses looking to compete in the age of Amazon.”
Small business owner Mandy Sacher is the first customer to use Sendle’s international delivery service.
Sacher, who is a paediatric nutritionist and a mother of two, has used the service to send her book, The Wholesome Child, to overseas readers.
“I have used Sendle for my small business for a few years now,” Sacher says.
“As a working mum with a young family, I just didn’t have the time to wait in a post office all day.
“Sendle has been a huge help with managing work/life balance and has helped my business grow to the point where I am gaining international customers, just as Sendle can now help with the same affordable, door-to-door delivery service to anywhere in the world.”
In the past two months, Sendle has announced many new partnerships including one with global e-commerce giant DHL.
