Update - here's the current pricing for Sendle Premium, as it's changed a little:

Parcel Size Same City Nationwide
Satchel (500g/A4) $5.80 $6.95
Handbag (1kg/4L) $7.90 $9.45
Shoebox (2kg/8L) $9.90 $11.90
Briefcase (5kg/20L) $9.90 $14.45
Carry-on (10kg/40L) $9.90 $20.95
Check-in (25kg/100L) $9.90 $27.95

I found a deal on Carousell, offering free Sendle Premium membership (usually $10 per month), & is available for both new & existing Sendle members.

It entitles you to $6.95 delivery, nationwide*, for 500g/A4 satchels (usually $7.95 each with standard, free Sendle membership), & you can send up to 50 per week! For comparison, the same sized parcel would cost $8.25 to ship via Australia Post. Their full price list is available via the link, & includes prices for larger, heavier items across the different membership options available.

There's no minimums, lock-in contracts or sneaky fees, plus they have great features like tracking for all packages, online bookings, weekly invoices, door-to-door service, the ability to use your own packaging, eBay & Shopify integration, & they're 100% carbon neutral! And they're about to launch international delivery too, so that's worth checking out too.

So far, I've only sent one package with them, but it was a smooth & painless experience, & I'm looking forward to doing it again soon. Great for eBay sellers or similar, or just people who are sick of Australia Post & want to try something better!

*some exceptions apply, although they claim only 6% of locations attract a remote surcharge

    Even if it was the same price as Auspost, I'd still be inclined to go with this. Surely they can't be as unreliable as Auspost. Plus it's cheaper!

      Quicker too, from my limited experience.

        is it thru aus post or a private courier company?

          Mine gets picked up every time by Fastway Couriers - not sure about Australia wide though

        • Frozensage on 13/11/2017 - 10:59
          +6

          Think they have various companies the work with. Quality of courier will vary depending on the driver in your area. I send about 20 parcels every couple of days with them, some same city parcels gets picked up in the morning and delivered in the arvo. For rural and PO BOX lockers still have to go through Auspost.

          Auspost ain't as strict about size and weight. You could use a 5kg size parcel bag to send something under 500g and they wouldn't give a damn. I heard when things goes missing with Sendle, it's pretty hard to get it back or get properly compensated. Auspost long as you have tracking then they generally will be happy to send you out a money order for the claim, though might take 2 4 weeks for the turnaround.

        • shapers on 13/11/2017 - 11:24

          @shapers:
          My experiences with Fastway have been horrific.
          The quality of their delivery drivers is varied. They do not knock at the door and do not even leave a could not deliver slip. I have also had people send me things that never arrived and got lost in the Fastway ether!

          Australia Post have been way better than Fastway and that is saying something.

          @shapers: Couriers please - more like b***h please. Fastway, more like no way.
          Auspost doesn't exactly have a great track record but at least they don't leave parcels out in the rain…

          (Fastway have actually done that, btw)

          My Auspost guy is quite good except with his obsession with our doorbell. He rings it at least 10 times, even if a signature is not required. Experiences elsewhere though? Well.

    I have been using them for 6 months no issue until they lost a parcel of mine 2 weeks ago. If they cant find it I can put a claim in on insurance but I have to pay an excess which is $100! They lose the package and it costs me more money …..

    • illumination on 13/11/2017 - 11:00

      Sorry for your loss, but I'd imagine in that situation the logical option would be to not claim anything then, given the excess is $100 (assuming your item is worth less than $100?)

  • Aussie89 on 13/11/2017 - 10:54

    I had a few issues when I used Sendle in the past. They use CouriersPlease in my area and on multiple instances I had issues with my package not being picked up for days without explanation. I had to contact multiple times until Sendle eventually said they had contacted CouriersPlease and they said they couldn't be bothered picking it up because they had trouble finding parking in my street.. (I live in an apartment block with free parking lot next door!).
    I found the Sendle business model and system to be very good but unfortunately will not use them in future due to their partnership with CouriersPlease. Just search reviews for CouriersPlease on google and you will see what I mean.

    • Scab on 13/11/2017 - 10:56

      It depends on the couriers please individual that covers your area, this is down to the person not the company as much although they might like to add some punishment for not picking something up.

      My couriers please guy picks up all the time on time and is friendly. I have not had issues with them and out of the 30 parcels I shipped recently at least 25 were with Couriers please.

    • sudoroot on 13/11/2017 - 11:22

    • LivinginEastwood on 13/11/2017 - 11:59

      I too had this exact problem but haven't had the chance to change courier because of the price difference :(

    • SomeGuyOnOzB on 13/11/2017 - 15:16
      +1

      I had the same experience with Sendle when they first appeared on OzBargain. Couriers Please didn't bother to pick up my package. I live in a side street with plenty of parking in front of the house! :S I had to ring every day for 5 days before the parcel finally got picked up. Sendle asked me to leave a comment with them, which would then influence their decision to use Couriers Please or not, in the future.

      After that, I was put off trying Sendle a second time.

      That said, it sounds like a bunch of other people have had better experiences more recently, with different courier partners.

      • Aussie89 on 13/11/2017 - 15:26
        +3

        Yep, initially I gave them the benefit of the doubt. But it continually happened and became very frustrating. Not only was it a risk of the item being stolen from sitting on my doorstep for many days, it also impacted my customers I had sold to on Ebay. They expected me to deliver within a timeframe which I failed because of CouriersPlease.

        After being reported to Sendle multiple times, they kept saying they will investigate and it never went anywhere.
        It was only until I called CouriersPlease directly was I able to get an answer. The customer service lady spoke directly with the driver and then she called me back and basically told me that the driver didn't want my business and refused to pick up from my place. They did not seem interested in pursuing it any further. I've never come across a company that defended the incompetence of their workers over keeping a customer. Ridiculous.

        I went to Sendle and explained the situation. I requested they switch my parcels to be picked up by Fastway (which I hadn't had an issue with in the past). They refused and their only solution was to ask me if I had a friend or family member's house I could leave my parcels at for pickup… I really want to use Sendle, but their poor courier partnerships lets their business down.

        • SomeGuyOnOzB on 13/11/2017 - 15:27

          … dang … I'm at a loss for words … that is appalling

          I think they gave me the delivery for free in the end, but they'd asked me to try their service and see how good it was. … :S
          I didn't want to risk being 1-2 weeks late for people on eBay :S

          I think I'll be sticking to other groups for now.

          … How can Couriers Please even say, "We don't want your business"??? :S

  • riggit on 13/11/2017 - 10:56
    +1

    I have just recently over a period of 1 month sent 30 parcels with them and any slight delay was chased up immediately. Their customer service is pretty much second to none in the courier industry. They respond and they actually help, they actually chase courier companies and if a pickup was late they refund you the full amount without asking for it! I never lost a single parcel either. I will be using them for all parcels moving forward.

    Very Happy!

  • Scab on 13/11/2017 - 10:58

    I've only used them once and they were pretty good.

    Only thing I don't like is they don't offer full insurance, insurance is free for all eligible items up to a value of $1,500 which is great but there is a $100 excess payable for a claim.

    This means for lower priced items the insurance is worthless.

    • Quantumcat on 13/11/2017 - 12:49

  • CrocDundee on 13/11/2017 - 11:17

    Tried using these guys 12 months ago. First delivery went well however, 2nd and 3rd attempt at delivery was terrible! They didn't come collect the parcel and couldn't be bothered letting us know that no one was coming. After several emails back and forth, they said they would refund the money… which took 7days…

    When trying to run a business and delivering items on time being a key issue, these guys let us down.
    Personally - I would never use them again.

    • shapers on 13/11/2017 - 11:32

      Has happened to me a few times too. Not good when you have to leave it outside waiting for 3-4 days for someone to pick it up, by this time i usually email them to cancel it and send it off with auspost.

      Most of the deliveries for me have been a good experience though.

      • CrocDundee on 13/11/2017 - 11:34

          +4

          No problems with Auspost insurance, they will send you a money order for the value + shipping cost if it is lost.

          With this, if you have to pay $100 excess for a claim it makes the insurance worthless unless it's a high value item.

          I'd rather pay Auspost $1.50 for each $100 insured value.

    As far as I'm aware all have been picked up and delivered using Couriers Please. All have been perfect.

    Approx 35% cheaper than Australia Post. Picks up from me. Pretty quick delivery and good tracking. It's win/win for me.

    If Sendle ever changed to use Fastway I would stop using them.

      Fastway left an item that was “signature on delivery”. Item was not there when I got home…. $500+ of pc gear gone. They forged my signature, refused to claim insurance…. had to use the senders business insurance.

    • jasperthegoat on 14/11/2017 - 12:36

      I believe it depends on your area and whatever is cheaper. Couriers Please or Fastway. For me, it's always been CouriersPlease, shipped two items for pickup yesterday one within same state and other to Brisbane. All delivered by 10am this morning.

    • hasher22 on 14/11/2017 - 14:00

    I like the look of the Sendle account dashboard and integration with shopify but for me the A4 satchels aren't as good a value compared with Fastway.
    sendle premium = $6.95 vs fastway = $7.80
    But:
    You have to buy the satchels separately with Sendle
    Only 500g instead of 1kg
    No option to get signature with A4

    Sendle would be better for lighter, low-value items though.

      You use your own packaging when shipping with Sendle.

      You can book it as a satchel delivery and the courier will put it in a bag at the depot.
      As long as it fits the dimensions of course.

    I'm tempted.
    Australia Post are shockingly incompetent. Even after multiple signs and multiple complaints, parcels are still thrown over the fence instead of placed in my parcel chute.

    Yesterday, there was a parcel in my parcel chute. I thought "Great! They got it right!". It was an express parcel I had posted a month ago to an eBay buyer, returned to sender (me). The buyer never received any notice that it was in their PO Box, and when he had phoned up because tracking said "delivered", Auspost said they couldn't find the shipment. So after 10 days, they returned it to me using slow post.

    Unbelievable.

    If signature option was available on Satchel I might have given them a go but - it's not available.

      would you expect to pay more for that service?

    Well, I'm not that happy as I was expecting a parcel pickup today but still no one turn up, just receive a notification that pickup is going to be tomorrow. There is no cancel button nor there is a direct phone number so you can make a cancellation. I guess this is not my type of Courier that I would use.

    Sendle's customer service isnt that great to deal with. Had an issue with parcel not being picked up during a booked day and they said "sorry, but the date booked is just an estimate, we cant guarantee pick up" huh?
    Basically a courier will come when they feel like it. Used them once but I wouldn't recommend them.

    Seems delivery instructions is a required field. What do you normally put in there? Seems like their "popular" instructions just give them the authority to leave the parcel if no one is home.

    They are hopeless. Booked a pickup for Monday, no show. Auto rebooked for Tuesday, no show. Contacted support, said they are following up. Hopes of a pickup today? Slim. Won’t be using them in future. Premium account for nothing.

    Tried to use them but satchel service that I need to provide a satchel? no guarantee pick up date? wouldn't recommend.
