Sendle, the Australian courier service has introduced a new Print In-Store feature. It will allow very small business owners and side hustlers to print labels and process returns at nearly 100 locations nationwide, with more to come.
Small businesses, micro-sellers, and personal shippers can now use Print In-Store services at metro and urban hubs across Australia. Locations range from Zillmere in Queensland to Mt Annan in New South Wales, Glen Iris in Victoria, Port Adelaide in South Australia, and Embleton in Western Australia.
This service is available at Sendle’s existing hubbed drop-off locations nationwide.
E-commerce market
Established in 2014, Sendle has consistently prioritized the prosperity of small businesses. Leveraging networks and volumes typically reserved for larger enterprises, they aim to offer their customers the most competitive prices possible.
Laura Hill, managing director of Sendle Australia says micro-businesses and personal senders now make up a significant portion of the e-commerce market. “We know that many of them don’t have access to a printer for shipping labels,” Hill explains to Business Daily Media.
In its recent market watch report, Asendia emphasized that the Australian e-commerce market is booming with the strong adoption of online shopping.
Asendia offers a range of international e-commerce and mail delivery services. The company services fashion, apparel, health and beauty, marketplaces, and food and supplements. Key destinations for e-tailers include Asia, Europe, the USA, and Canada.

Hill highlights that the print in-store feature is all providing more options for small businesses and consumers, no matter where they are or what size they are, to make shipping as easy and hassle-free as possible.
“Print In-Store is the latest example of how Sendle is listening to small business customers and rolling out shipping solutions they want and need. Following the trials, we’ve seen strong uptake among customers already and expect this to grow in the next 12 months”, says Hill.
