Hey Folks,

Hope everyone had a wonderful break!

After a wonderful December and ‘interesting’ January we’re super excited to be getting back into the swing of things.

As you’ve probably heard, coffee prices are going up and supply into Australia is going down. Still, I thought it might still be handy to give a bit of extra context to this. On the cafe side, the click bait around $12 lattes is doubtful given these increased costs should only be adding 0.50~ to the average cup of coffee. However, a lot of cafes might use this as an opportunity to ‘correct’ their underpriced drinks. So while $12 is doubtful, prices are definitely going up. For the coffee that we sell, we’re expecting to see an increase of a couple of dollars per kg on average. The big ‘if’ here is just how high the global prices go.

Now, back to the fun stuff!

We’ve got all our popular blends back on deck (Candid, AXIL and even Proud Mary!). On the single origin side of the fence, we’ve got a deliciously versatile washed coffee from Diofanor Ruiz in Colombia. While on the filter side of town, we’ve got a natural fruit bomb from Jenita Lebang in Indonesia.

Shipping update

After some very challenging experiences with Auspost in January, we’ve decided to make the big step of testing CouriersPlease for Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide. Time frames will follow that of Parcel Post (Pickup date, transit times etc.) but we will be monitoring it closely to ensure the performance is up to our standards.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or recommendation requests :)

Cheers,
Tim

    ordered few days ago - liking the new package on candid

      Thanks! Did you get the compostable package?

      • superbass on 05/02/2025 - 12:04

        I got the brown colour one (previously it was white). is it compostable one?

          Sorry! I was thinking of the satchel which is compostable. The brown bag can be recycled through groups like Reground. We're currently working on setting up a partnership with Reground for both used grounds and these bags. Watch this space :)

    Always love your work mate, and your transparency.

    I hope CouriersPlease works out for you, and it won't affect my orders with you because I am a longtime customer/fan of your business and way of doing things, but as a general rule I don't order from anyone who uses those guys because they are TERRIBLE - even for courier standards. Like I said, I hope it's not the case with your business.

    Will be placing my usual order tonight! :-)

      Really appreciate your honest feedback on this.

      For greater transparency, they lost almost 100 of our parcels last month. We were very grateful for the understanding of so many customers, and I know part of this is because of the reputation Auspost has (pros and cons!).

      However, the end result is we replaced, refunded or gave credit for over $4000 worth of coffee. And Auspost have paid out a grand total of $109 in compensation…

      A big part of this trial is also to diversify our risk so we aren't as reliant on one carrier. I don't foresee a situation where we remove Auspost, and even know you can guarantee Auspost by selecting the Express Post option.

      If you don't mind me asking, what's your position on Auspost?

      Cheers,
      Tim

        Wow, that's terrible. Really sorry to hear it. Completely get your rationale for diversifying risk as well, hope it works out!

        Things are tough enough without having to wear costs that should be borne by a fast declining service (Auspost) - which probably gives you the answer on what I think of them. To counter that, I typically select express post option - and may have to continue with that even with the higher cost - which tells you a little more of what I think of CP - I am happy that others in this thread have had more positive experiences with them - maybe I have just been unlucky because every single instance has been either diabolical, or just plain terrible. At some point my luck has to turn, right!?

          My experience with Couriers Please has been shocking as well. Right up there with Aramex. For non-business deliveries, I've been very fortunate to have a reliable AusPost driver. The app has also been reliable in tracking shipment progress.

            @youfnc: Oof, Aramex, another almost proud-to-be-bad hall-of-famer! Yeah, same, AusPost has been OK with me for these orders and elsewhere, generally.

            • Corgsta on 06/02/2025 - 11:31

              @yoosername: In my experience, Aramex have been horrible.

              I just checked the Wikipedia page on Aramex, damn the controversies section is painful to read. Really dodgy business practice. In NZ, the drivers get paid on average NZD11-12/hr!

              I was thinking they bought out and rebranded Couriers Please, but it was Fastway Couriers (I have old painful memories of them too), hence why I was checking my facts.

              • yoosername on 06/02/2025 - 11:50

                @Corgsta: That's horrible!!
                Oh man fastway is another (bad) blast from the past.
                Definitely space in the market for quality, honest couriers.

                  @yoosername: I order a LOT of stuff online, domestically and internationally. Here’s my rank order:

                  1. DHL
                  2. FedEx
                  3. AusPost
                  4. Couriers Please
                  5. Collecting your parcel from hell itself
                  6. Aramex!!!

                  I cannot comprehend how a ‘business’ like Aramex is still functioning. It is utterly pathetic. Truly truly awful. I have never had a normal experience with them

                  Rant over

                  • yoosername on 10/02/2025 - 10:01

                    @SirFrankGrimes: DHL is great!! I agree with that list! My experience with CP is such that I would swap 4 with 5, and maybe 5=6, but yeah otherwise sounds like we have, unfortunately, shared similar courier experiences!!

      • merriweather on 06/02/2025 - 08:53

        My anecdotal experience living in regional NSW is that auspost is far better than any of the alternatives. Never lost a package, always fast with accurate tracking info. Don’t think I’ve had anything sent with Courier Please. Most common alternative is Aramex and they are absolutely awful.

        Terrible to hear about all your lost packages though, that’s definitely good enough reason to seek out other options! Hope it works out for you.

        • Store Repdirectcoffee @ Direct Coffee on 06/02/2025 - 09:46

          Really appreciate that anecdotal experience. We’d only ever use Auspost for regional areas as they’re actually cheaper than other alternatives. Will have to add making this clearer to the list of updates :)

      • Corgsta on 06/02/2025 - 11:38

        Sheesh! Also sorry to hear about this, it's great to have your transparency and hope you guys work out a balanced/manageable courier situation — I am a repeat customer of yours. Steer way clear of Aramex (I once had an expensive Total Tools order go missing for 6 weeks and complained multiple times with them, as well as TT, and it was finally found and delivered). Couriers Please - I think are sketchy but my alarm bells aren't ringing as loud about them so they might be OK. As a customer, I've not really had much problems with Auspost. They seem to deliver really quickly a lot of the time. If anything they send me too many notifications (picked up, sent, in transit, delivered, available for pickup)! I am rural with a PO box, so I'm often in the PO talking to them.

  • shiggaz on 05/02/2025 - 12:57

    I have had maybe 4 deliveries from you with CouriersPlease and couldn't be happier. Deliveries are on time with live updates of the driver's location

  • Savealopoulos on 05/02/2025 - 18:14

    Any filter roasts?

  • stewface on 05/02/2025 - 21:03

    I’m loaded up on coffee for the next month any chance you do delayed shipments?

      Yeah it's possible! Which coffee/s are you interested in?

      • stewface on 05/02/2025 - 21:44

        Amazing!

        Not sure, I drink espresso, so whatever you recommend!

          Sweet! Well if it's being delayed I might wait til tomorrow to give you some recommendations :)

  • Corgsta on 15/02/2025 - 09:43

    Just doing an order now. Only suggestion would be to be clear on what's in the discount. The table above is titled "Examples", but I'm looking for other options since you listed Axil in the title. It seems most of the Axils are not included in the discount. Maybe only the blends? Just be good to be clear on this. :) Thanks!
