Ten Australian On-Demand Courier Services You Need to Know!
With online shopping and e-commerce growing daily and more people ordering online, the competition among small and large industries increase as well. You want to be the organization or store with outstanding delivery. On-demand couriers allow you to offer customers time-definite delivery for urgent or important packages. These on-demand courier services we list for you offer options to get your parcel delivered within an hour and three hours when delivery is within Australian borders.
1. Sherpa
Sherpa operates 7 days a week between 7 am to 9 pm within ten of Australia’s major cities – Newcastle, Canberra, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. They have a range of delivery options like two-hour, four hour and same-day delivery. With the Sherpa App, you can track, log and manage deliveries.
2. CouriersPlease
CouriersPlease allows you to send parcels nationwide and worldwide. What we like about it is the ability to have a parcel sent to one of the 750+ POP Points. It is great when you are not at home or available to sign for your parcel and you will receive an email or SMS notification that the parcel is on its way. At this point, you have 4 options that allow you to change your delivery instructions.
3. TNT
TNT has international and domestic shipping options and on-demand courier deliveries. Even an international delivery can be shipped the next day at times that suit you. Domestic and international courier services can be delivered before 9 am for the start of the next day to major cities in over 40 countries with a weight of up to 250 kg. This is a highly recommended on-demand service worthy of checking out.
4. DHL
If you didn’t see DHL on our list you would have frowned upon our suggestions for sure. It is the only on-demand courier service that can deliver via a Parcelcopter and also the world’s first international door-to-door couriers. They are also the largest and oldest that opened their doors in 1972 in Sydney. They are not the cheapest on our list, but certainly one of the best.
5. GBI
GBI has 25 courier vehicles that range from 3-tonne trucks to 14-tonne trucks that deliver on-demand in Perth, country and outer metro deliveries. Their services include business to customer and business to business. The downside is that you can only use GBI when you are in Western Australia, but worth checking out when you live around the area.
6. Transdirect
When you want an order or parcel delivered within a couple of hours, Transdirect has excellent locations. It includes Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. Across Australia, they do same-day pickups and next-day deliveries. Same-day delivery also has an ongoing 10 to 30% delivery discount.
7. StarTrack
StarTrack is one of the best with a 24-hours, 365-days delivery with interstate and metro on-demand courier services. They have more than 750 courier vehicles with live tracking and 24-hour customer service. Immediate delivery speeds range from 1 hour, 1.5 to 3 hours and 3 to 4.5 hours on-demand speed choices.
8. Couriers by Demand Express
Everything about Couriers by Demand Express with their 350 delivery vehicles is excellent. With their head office in Rockdale, NSW, they do national and global delivery. You can choose a Super express delivery option that guarantees delivery within an hour, a three-hours option or overnight. Pricing is excellent and certainly worth checking out.
9. Zoom2u
If you are in a hurry to get a parcel delivered, Zoom2U has a 3-hour delivery option with real-time tracking. Other delivery services include next day and VIP delivery. What we like about them is the 365 days service. Weekday delivery is from 8 am to 10 pm while weekend delivery is from 9 am until 6 pm.
10. Go People
Go People also offers real-time tracking and thousands of on-demand runners across Australia. They are affordable and another one of Australia’s 24/7/365-day couriers. You can download both a sender and a runner app from their website.
