SENDLE COVID 19 UPDATE

• As an ‘essential service,’ Sendle is fully operational - picking up and delivering parcels to all states and territories in Australia.
• ‘Signature on Delivery’ has been changed to ‘Authority to Leave’ to eliminate person to person contact. Our delivery drivers will leave a parcel at their discretion in a designated safe place. (They can also take a signature on behalf of customers while standing two metres away).
• Due to the cancellation of many international flights and country-specific restrictions, overseas transit times may be delayed See our full list of temporarily suspended destinations
• To our international customers - we are seeing delays between Australia and the rest of the world due to lack of flights and we are still delivering but it could take up to 4 weeks or longer for your parcel to arrive. 
• Our international parcel ETA’s continue to be impacted:
• Zone 1 - New Zealand (10-20 working days)
• Zone 2 - North America, Western Europe, Asia and the Pacific (21-28 working days)
• Zone 3 - Rest of the world (25-30 working days)

AUSTRALIA POST COVID-19 UPDATE

• We are doing everything possible to keep delivering during the Coronavirus pandemic. Most of our Post Offices are still open, while our posties and drivers are working to get your parcels to you.
• However, the challenges presented by the pandemic mean there are delays as our business adopts additional safety measures to protect our people and customers. Other factors contributing to delays include fewer domestic flights, international delays and increased volumes as more people start shopping online.

How do they offset?

Sendle has partnered with South Pole Group to offset the emissions of every parcel that is picked up and delivered with Sendle. Each year, Sendle's community of business owners have been given the opportunity to direct their impact by choosing the projects that offset Sendle's carbon emissions. Projects they currently support can be read about here

Rest assured, you will not receive any excessive plastic packaging, yet your order will be safely and securely packed.
