Sendle Shut Down in Australia: What Happened & Your Best Shipping AlternativeÂ
On January 11, 2026, Sendle abruptly ceased all operations in Australia. If you’re a former Sendle customer looking for a reliable shipping alternative, MailPlus is here to help with same-day pickups, 1-2 day delivery, and real people you can actually talk to.
Why MailPlus is the Smart Choice for Former Sendle Customers
While other couriers like Couriers Please, Aramex, and Australia Post Direct are stepping in, learn why Australian businesses are choosing MailPlus instead.
Real People, Real Accountability
Unlike the large courier networks, MailPlus operates with owner-operators you’ll know by name. Your local operator collects from you personally—no more anonymous drivers or missed pickups.
- Customer service that actually answers:
Call us and speak to a real person in under 1 minute. No bots, no offshore call centres, no 8-hour email waits.
“Hands down the best courier service available in Australia. 96% of parcels arrive overnight and the cost (after you factor in Aus Post’s surcharges or Sendle’s) it is the best option. Our customers can’t believe how quickly their order arrives.”
