Sendle partners with DHL eCommerce

Through a new partnership with DHL eCommerce, a division of the international logistics company Deutsche Post DHL Group, courier service Sendle plans to offer international parcel delivery services for small businesses in Australia.
The move will mean small businesses will be able to offer door-to-door delivery, with Sendle managing domestic pickups in Australia and DHL eCommerce providing access to over 220 countries and territories in its global network.
“Delivery performance is a critical success factor for any e-commerce business and an extremely crucial part of the consumer’s shopping experience,” said Charles Brewer, CEO, DHL eCommerce. “Australian SMEs are winners in this partnership as we combine DHL’s global expertise and reach with Sendle’s deep knowledge of small businesses to create simple and affordable solutions for international parcel delivery.”
James Chin Moody, CEO and Co-ounder, Sendle added, “From day one, our mission has been to unlock the power of big business delivery infrastructure for millions of small businesses. Our agreement with DHL eCommerce, a true world leader in logistics, is a major step forward in levelling the playing field in Australia. By doing so, we aim to help more small businesses expand globally and thrive in the Amazon age.”
The partnership with DHL eCommerce comes as Sendle announces it has just passed one billion kilometres of carbon-neutral parcel delivery on behalf of tens of thousands of small businesses.
Deutsche Post DHL Group recently announced its goal to reduce all logistics-related emissions to net zero by the year 2050.
“With the partnership now signed, we expect Sendle’s international shipping service to be available to selected Sydney customers in time for Christmas deliveries and to rollout nationwide in 2018,” Chin Moody added. “Watch this space.”
Sendle is inviting small businesses to register to be part of a pilot program.
