SENDAPARCEL · THINK TANK

Today called. It would like its parcel.

When tomorrow feels a little too far away, compare eligible Direct Couriers same-day options alongside your regular parcel quotes.

There is “I will send it soon”, and then there is “that really needs to move today”. Perhaps it is an order, a forgotten item or something important that has had quite enough of sitting on the bench.

Sendaparcel has a Same day tab for comparing eligible Direct Couriers options. You can also include same-day quotes while comparing a parcel or satchel, so the quicker choices have a seat at the table.

Choose your own little shortcut.

Use the Same day tab to focus on same-day quotes. Or stay on Parcel or Satchel and tick Compare same-day delivery with Direct Couriers to include available same-day options alongside the regular services.

The choice is yours: a focused look at the urgent options, or a side-by-side comparison with the rest of the available courier quotes.

“Ready for pickup” means ready for pickup.

Enter the collection date and the time your packed shipment will be ready. The time is local to the pickup location, which is handy when Australia is doing its multiple-time-zones thing.

Be realistic about packing, access and getting the parcel to the pickup point. “The box is taped and waiting” is a better starting point than “I think we have tape somewhere”.

Find the service that fits the moment.

A route may return several Direct Couriers service levels. Compare the available options, prices and displayed estimated delivery information before choosing how urgently the shipment needs to move.

Not every route or shipment qualifies. Availability, collection cut-offs and delivery estimates depend on the courier and the details entered. An estimate is not a guaranteed delivery appointment.

The Same day tab currently compares Direct Couriers options. It does not imply that every courier offers a same-day service or that every quoted service is ready for online booking.

Still give the box the full introduction.

Urgent parcels need accurate dimensions, weight and addresses just as much as unhurried ones. For mixed cartons, add each different box size. If the pickup comes from a regular warehouse, your saved addresses can make entering the route quicker.

Take a look at today’s possibilities.

Open the booking panel, choose Same day and enter your route and shipment details. Compare what is available for your request, then check whether the selected service can be booked online.

A little urgency. A clear set of options. And hopefully one less thing sitting on the bench.
