Sendle is an Australian-based virtual courier company which provides courier services within Australia, United States, and Canada,[1][2] focusing primarily on small to medium-sized businesses and online retailers.[3][4] It claims to be the first courier company to offer fully carbon neutral services in Australia, the United States and Canada.[5] While its delivery services are worldwide — with the exception of Russia and Belarus — its operational staff are based in Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and the United States.[6][7][8] Sendle does not employ drivers or operate its own delivery fleet; instead, it partners with local courier companies to transport parcels within its coverage areas.[9] This is primarly CouriersPlease, who are consistently rated as Australia's worst courier company.
The company was founded in 2014 by James Bradfield Moody, Sean Geoghegan and Craig Davis.[10] In 2015, Sendle said that it had become Australia's first carbon neutral delivery service.[11]
In 2015, Australia Post filed a trademark dispute against Sendle for their slogan “Post without the office”. In 2017, IP Australia ruled in Sendle’s favour, allowing them to use the trademark and slogan.[12][13][14][15]
In August 2016, Sendle said that it had surpassed 100 million kilometres in its deliveries and that it had raised A$5 million for further expansion.[16] The company won the 2016 NSW Telstra Business Award in the new business category.[17][18]
In 2017, Sendle announced an agreement with DHL eCommerce to facilitate international deliveries from Australia,[19][20] and a systems integration with e-commerce companies eBay, Shopify, Shipstation, WooCommerce and Xero to streamline order handling.[21][22][23] In 2018, the company said that it was partnering with eBay and had become one of their delivery partners.[24]
In 2019, Sendle raised A$20 million in capital and expanded to the United States.[25][26] Amid a rise in demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the company raised A$19 million in funding.[27] In 2021, Sendle raised A$45 million in Series C funding and, in 2022, the company expanded to Canada.[28][29] It raised a further A$16 million in 2024.[30]
In August 2025, the company announced that Sendle and US companies ACI Logistix and FastMile would merge to form FAST Group. The three companies would continue to operate independently and Moody would continue as CEO of Sendle.[26]
