PACK & SEND is a unique business proposition that originated in Australia in 1993 and has been trading in the UK since the start of 2009.

We make a simple promise – ‘We Send Anything, Anywhere!’ – and our wide range of packing and shipping options ensure that we can offer a choice of cost-effective solutions that meet virtually any deadline for our customers. All our stores pride themselves on delivering the highest levels of customer service and our end-to-end ownership of collection, packing and final delivery anywhere in the world makes us uniquely easy to do business with.		 

We Send Anything, Anywhere!

At PACK & SEND, our stores can ship anything, however we specialise in handling items that are: 

  • Fragile – Laptops, electronic equipment and glassware and china
  • Large – Trade show equipment, car parts and musical instruments
  • Awkward – Architectural models, chandeliers and statues
  • Valuable – Artwork, antiques, timepieces and collectables
Our customers treasure the items that we send for them and want to know that they receive the highest levels of care and attention. PACK & SEND’s packing expertise, combined with our unequalled Gold Cover unlimited value loss or damage protection, gives the ultimate peace of mind for individuals or businesses of all sizes.


PACK & SEND’s Market


The logistics sector is vital to the UK economy with annual revenues of over £70bn:
  • Businesses rely on the freight industry to facilitate trade
  • Small businesses, the lifeblood of the UK’s economy, rely on the freight industry to support their growth and prosperity.
  • Global travel has become more frequent and affordable with the movement of people increasing the demand for convenient consumer freight solutions.
  • Members of extended families demand freight services that can reach across the globe.

 

New dynamics created by the growth of buying and selling products on the internet have resulted in new opportunities for businesses to service this market.

Why invest in a PACK & SEND Franchise?

PACK & SEND were recognised as the 2007 Australian Franchisor of the Year by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Franchise Council of Australia.

With a unique service range and highly personalised service, our customers come back time and again for our services. The convenience of our stores and the friendliness of our store owners and their staff make life easier for customers.

PACK & SEND are looking for highly motivated enthusiasts who share our vision of providing a ‘no limits’ service to our customers and who want to benefit from a robust business model that is proving as successful here as it has been for over 120 shops in Australia. We have stores opening across the UK and our earliest sites, some now in their second year of trading, continue to show impressive growth.

PACK & SEND Franchisees benefit from:

  • High gross profit margins
  • Rapidly cash generative business model
  • Proven business results – our first UK store showed net profits in Year 1!
  • Distinctive identity that stands out on the High St and is increasingly being established as a global brand
  • High value franchisee support services - initial training is intensive; requiring at least four weeks hands-on work before launch and comprehensive in-store support after it. We will even work in your store with you for the first weeks of trading to help you build a rewarding and successful business!
  • Low staffing levels and B2B trading hours
  • Low levels of non-perishable stock
  • Our franchisees actually ENJOY what they do

PACK & SEND requires a minimum investment of around £100K which is estimated to get your store to break even and hence self-financing from then on. We have relationships with several High St banks and can provide detailed advice on market assessments and business planning.

Case Studies
 

Meccano Ferris Wheel Model
One of the more unusual jobs that PACK & SEND UK have taken on was for an Australian antique dealer who had bought a large Meccano model. With the unique piece having been won via ebay, the task not only required safe transportation to Australia, but it also had to be collected from the seller near Dijon in France - a 1200 mile round trip from the UK HQ, which was also through some of the worst weather in Europe in the past 25 years!

Although it is often the ebay seller who engages PACK & SEND to add a delivery solution to their listing and so improve the bids they receive, on this occasion it was the buyer who contacted PACK & SEND after a Google search. The size and fragility of the model, with 14 illuminated cars around the 4 metre circumference, meant that it required a dedicated vehicle to safely collect it and then take it to the PACK & SEND depot for full preparation and packing.  

 

 Royal Doulton Tea Service
The death of a lady in Oxfordshire led to her Royal Doulton tea service collection being bequeathed to her relatives in Australia and the solicitor dealing with the will had the challenge of arranging to get it there. Being china it needed careful packing and, as it dated back to the 1700s, it was valuable as well – which is why his only choice was PACK & SEND! With almost one hundred pieces from dinner plates to teapots, the crockery was collected and returned to the local store for secure packing.

Each item was wrapped in heavy duty Air Cap before being placed securely in bespoke boxes with Fill Air sacks providing additional cushioning where necessary. The whole collection was then shipped safely to the door in Australia.

 

Classic Jaguar Body Panels
Those familiar with the ‘classic’ car market will appreciate how difficult it can be to get replacement parts for vintage cars – even relatively young ones. It is not unusual for a collector to need to buy replacements for damaged parts from some distance away and even abroad. PACK & SEND have undertaken several jobs for collectors including the shipment of a bonnet, doors and other parts for a vintage Jaguar from the UK to Australia. Given the rarity and fragile nature of the parts, as well as the size of them, it was a job for which PACK & SEND’s skills were perfectly matched.
