Sendle cancels all deliveries – five months after US merger
Alternative delivery platform Sendle, a growing favourite among small businesses, has abruptly cancelled all scheduled deliveries from today, January 12.
The company’s website announced the news; a statement issued by its public relations agency added: “Sendle has informed its customers that it is no longer taking any future bookings. We are not able to provide any further comment at this time.”
In an email sent to its customers, Sendle said that any parcels already in transit would be delivered “at the discretion of the delivery partner”.
Founded in 2014, Sendle aimed to rival Australia Post. It became part of the US-based parent company Fast Group in August, after a merger with FirstMile and ACI Logistix.
The company has received investment from NRMA Insurance, Touch Ventures, Federation Asset Management, Rampersand, and King River Capital.
Inside Retail has approached Sendle for comment.
