Own a local courier business,
backed by a trusted franchise model.
Become your own boss with a MailPlus franchise — an exclusive local territory, recurring business customers, no shopfront, and daily support from our head-office teams.
A MailPlus franchise is a local, owner-operated courier business within MailPlus's Australian express parcel delivery network — founded in 1997, with 120+ franchises and 300+ owner-operators across Australia.
As a MailPlus franchisee you run an exclusive territory: collecting and lodging parcels and mail for local businesses, clearing PO Boxes, handling Australia Post items, and delivering express parcels — the same connected services MailPlus is known for. There's no shopfront and no retail trade; it's a mobile, B2B business built on recurring customers.
It's a proven, resilient model in the essential and growing e-commerce logistics sector, backed daily by head-office sales, marketing, operational and customer-service teams — plus direct access to founder and Managing Director Chris Burgess. Territories are currently available across NSW, the ACT, QLD, VIC and TAS.
Because each territory is exclusive, you're not competing with another MailPlus operator for the same customers — you build and keep your own base. Day to day, that means same-day collections, Post Office collect & lodge, and express deliveries for the businesses in your area, with the free ShipMate platform handling labels, bookings and tracking so the admin stays light.
It suits owner-operators who want to be their own boss without starting from scratch, and investors looking for a stable business with recurring B2B income. Whether you already have logistics experience or are changing careers entirely, the head-office team helps you profile your territory and grow your customer base from day one.

The benefits of owning a MailPlus territory.
Exclusive territories
You run your own defined local area, with a highly sought-after B2B customer base — no competing with another MailPlus operator for the same patch.
No shopfront necessary
It's a mobile, owner-operator business. No retail premises, no walk-in trade — lower overheads and the freedom to work your run your way.
Steady, recurring income
Built on regular business customers and scheduled services, so income is recurring rather than one-off — a more stable footing than ad-hoc work.
Ride the e-commerce boom
Capitalise on an essential, growing logistics sector. From Post Office solutions to express delivery, the offering is relied on by small and medium businesses.
Daily head-office support
Operational and customer-service support every day, plus a dedicated sales and marketing team focused on attracting new customers to your territory.
Proven, resilient model
A stable business that has operated since 1997 — almost 30 years — with 120+ franchises and 300+ owner-operators behind you across Australia.

You're also welcome to contact MailPlus's Founder and Managing Director, Chris Burgess, anytime you need. Chris actively works across the business every day and is respected by franchise-owners right across Australia.
MailPlus began in 1997 when Chris spotted a gap in the logistics industry — businesses needed someone to collect and lodge their mail and parcels so they didn't lose hours at the Post Office. Almost 30 years on, he still credits the network's success to the head-office team and the successful franchisees who run their businesses.

Real owner-operators, in their own words.
I was previously a chef, but after 22 years the industry was killing me. I came across MailPlus and thought, I can do this. MailPlus is a lifestyle business with a really good work–life balance. Most businesses chain you to a desk, but with MailPlus you get to enjoy your weekends and public holidays.
I'd worked at an electricity distributor, and a friend recommended MailPlus after a redundancy. It's now my third year and it's been a good income stream. Working for myself, the hours are very good — and it certainly beats crawling through ceilings on a hot summer day.
I was a relief driver contracting for a MailPlus franchise, and then that franchise became available to buy. I'd always wanted to own a business, so it was a no-brainer. The best thing is the security and the good reputation MailPlus has. I enjoy seeing the clients and helping out where I can.
