What are the best courier options for sending Domestic Freight?

Have you ever wanted to know what are the best courier options available for sending Domestic Freight within Australia? It might sound like a simple question, but it's actually very complex, with hundreds, if not thousands of 'right' answers, depending on factors such as:

  • What are you sending?
  • What is the urgency? (does it need to be there today/tomorrow/next week?)
  • What is the value of the items being shipped? (for high value items, security considerations are paramount).
  • Is it fragile, and if so, is it sufficiently well packed? (Do you have a need for professional packing services?)
  • Are you sending to a business or a residential address?
  • Will someone be there to receive and sign for the delivery?

When sending freight throughout Australia, consignments can travel through a variety of transport modes.  Most courier companies specialise in one or more transport modes, such as Road (via trucks and vans) or Air (via commercial airliners and dedicated cargo planes) and their delivery infrastructure & capabilities may be stronger in certain parts of Australia.

Freight resellers such as PACK & SEND have the great advantage of alliances with a wide range of the best courier companies across Australia, and the world.  Because we send so much freight, we are able to negotiate great rates - and pass on the savings to our customers. This enables us to offer an unrivaled range of freight services and transport solutions, and enhance them with our experience to deliver to our customers a great deal of added value.

With our famous 'No Limits' philosophy, the staff at your local PACK & SEND are able to tailor personalised solutions for each individual customer’s requirements. These timely domestic delivery solutions are available to government, businesses, corporations, and even private customers and households.

Among the types of domestic freight services available are the following:

Consignments can be sent through standard and customised courier and road services. A wide choice of options are available to suit your time and budget requirements, including express delivery.

Air Freight Services
