Australia’s leading courier service for small businesses, Sendle has expanded its shipping services with its new print in-store feature, enabling small business senders and side hustlers to print labels and do returns at nearly 100 locations across the country.
Small businesses, micro-sellers and personal shippers can access print in-store locations in metro and urban hubs, spanning from Zillmere, Queensland to Mt Annan, New South Wales, Glen Iris, Victoria, across to Port Adelaide and Embleton, Western Australia. Print in-store is available at Sendle’s existing network of HUBBED drop off locations in Australia.
Sendle Australia managing director, Laura Hill said, “Micro-businesses and personal senders now make up a significant portion of the e-commerce market and we know that many of them don’t have access to a printer for shipping labels.
“Print in-store is about opening up and providing more options for small businesses and consumers, no matter where they are or what size they are, so that shipping is as simple and convenient as possible.”
One marketplace taking advantage of this new service is pre-loved fashion company, Vestiaire Collective, expanding its partnership with Sendle.
Vestiaire Collective stands as the leading global app for exclusive pre-owned fashion. Founded with a clear mission to transform the fashion industry towards a more sustainable future, the company partners with fellow B Corp, Sendle, to provide more eco-friendly options for buying, selling, and shipping.
The company says the new feature of printing and attaching shipping labels in-store aims to reduce barriers for newcomers to the pre-owned market, especially those without access to a printer at home.
“Sendle has been the preferred sustainable shipping partner for SMBs and side hustlers since 2014. Now we’re expanding to help personal senders and micro-businesses ship sustainably, too,” Hill added.
“We’re proud of our partnership with Vestiaire Collective, and our new print in-store feature will provide greater access to sustainable shipping solutions for their customers. As the C2C marketplace continues to grow, we are providing more simple and seamless shipping experiences to help shoppers embrace the resale fashion market.”
The process is as simple as booking the order and choosing the “I’ll drop it off” option. Once the order has been confirmed, each parcel’s tracking page will have a QR code and the option to print the shipping label at the designated drop-off HUBBED location, where a staff member will affix it to the parcels.
