Australian parcel delivery service Sendle has shipped more than 65 million parcels across three countries, marking a significant milestone for the company as it positions itself for further international growth. Founded in Sydney in 2014, Sendle has built its reputation as Australia’s first 100 percent carbon-neutral delivery service and a certified B Corporation, carving out a distinctive niche in a market traditionally dominated by incumbent carriers.
Milestone Achievement
The 65 million parcel figure reflects cumulative shipments across Sendle’s operations in Australia, the United States, and Canada. For a company that launched just over a decade ago with a focus on underserved small business shippers, the volume represents consistent growth driven by a straightforward value proposition: flat-rate pricing without hidden fees or fuel surcharges, and free pickup from business addresses.
Since 2019, Sendle has raised more than $100 million in funding to support its expansion beyond the Australian domestic market. That capital has funded the company’s entry into North America and the development of its technology platform, which integrates directly with major ecommerce marketplaces and platforms including Shopify, WooCommerce, eBay, and Etsy. With estimated annual revenues around $32.5 million, the company continues to scale its asset-light model across multiple geographies.
Three-Country Network
Sendle’s three-country footprint — spanning Australia, the United States, and Canada — gives it a cross-border presence that few SMB-focused carriers can match. The network is designed to serve the specific needs of small and medium businesses shipping domestically within each market, rather than competing head-to-head with global freight forwarders on international lanes.
In Australia, Sendle remains a popular choice among home-based sellers, marketplace merchants, and small ecommerce operators who value the simplicity of its pricing model. The company’s premium tier, Sendle Express, offers two-day delivery with same-day pickup for businesses that need faster turnaround without the complexity of enterprise carrier agreements.
The North American operations have broadened Sendle’s addressable market considerably, giving the company access to the world’s largest ecommerce economy in the US alongside the growing Canadian market.
Sustainability Credentials
Sendle’s carbon-neutral status has been a defining feature since launch. Every parcel shipped through the service is 100 percent carbon offset, a commitment that distinguishes it from competitors who typically offer carbon neutrality as an optional add-on at additional cost.
As a certified B Corporation, Sendle is required to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. That certification carries weight with the growing segment of consumers and businesses that factor sustainability into purchasing and procurement decisions.
The company’s environmental positioning also aligns with broader industry trends. Australian regulators and industry bodies are moving toward stricter sustainable packaging requirements, and carriers with established green credentials stand to benefit as compliance obligations tighten.
What Comes Next
With the 65 million parcel milestone behind it and more than $100 million in funding deployed, Sendle is positioned at an inflection point. The company has signalled its intent to pursue further international growth, building on the operational playbook refined across its three existing markets.
For Australian small businesses, Sendle’s trajectory offers a practical alternative to the major carriers — one built specifically around the shipping volumes, integration needs, and pricing sensitivity of the SMB segment. Whether the company can sustain that growth while maintaining its carbon-neutral and B Corporation commitments at increasing scale will be the key question heading into the second half of 2025.
