Sendle is loved by small businesses across Australia, the US and Canada (yep, we’re there too, now!). Why? We back your small business by making shipping discounts usually only available at enterprise level, to everyone. We take the hassle out of shipping by delivering door-to-door, we never charge a subscription or hit you with hidden fees, and every delivery is 100% carbon neutral, every time.
A lot’s happened in the 13 months since we dropped rates by up to 30% with our Pandemic Relief Package. In fact, we never went back to pre-pando pricing. And we continued developing great new features – like Australia’s first 250g, tracked parcel and Sendle Express – to help your business grow.
But (there’s always a but), we all know change is inevitable. So too is the need to update rates.
So, on 17 October, rates will go a little up, a little down. Sending domestically? You’ll see about a 3.6% increase on average, but many of our rates are actually decreasing. When it comes to international, some of your shipping is about to get way more affordable (particularly if you're sending to Kiwis, Brits and most of the participants of the Eurovision song contest).
Some things never change. Like our commitment to supporting your small business with free pickup (who wants to schlepp to the post office?), tracking and included insurance, for when things occasionally go pear shaped.
We’ll never charge you a subscription. Your plan level is dictated by the number of parcels you ship with us each month. And we abhor sneaky fees and hidden charges, so you won’t get those with us, you'll simply pay for what you send.
If you like a points bonus don’t forget to link your Velocity Frequent Flyer card to your Sendle account via the Rewards tab in the dashboard. Every parcel you send flying off to a customer could get you one step closer to shooting off on holidays.
And, if it’s time to up your shipping game, take advantage of one of our amazing eCommerce integrations. If you’re already shipping with eBay, Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy, Squarespace or a whole host of other platforms, we’ve probably got the one you need.
If you’re already thinking about Christmas and peak season, you’ll be pleased to know that, like last year, we won’t be passing on additional peak surcharges. (We’ll be gobbling them up and wearing them like little bits of gingerbread house and icing all over our chests.) That’s gotta make you feel at least a little bit merry.
Congratulations, you made it to the end of the blog! While we've got your attention, why not see if you qualify for better rates? If you're approaching 20 parcels per month request a premium upgrade. Or, if it's really getting serious and you're in the zone of 200 or even 1000+ parcel sends per month, why not book a shipping consultation? A few minutes on the phone could save you heaps.
