# Customizable Parcel Delivery Services Sendle Makes It Economical to Send Individual Packages By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-08-20 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Sendle-parcel-delivery References: [startupsmart.au](http://www.startupsmart.com.au/advice/growth/door-to-door-delivery-just-got-a-little-cheaper-for-small-businesses-sending-500g-parcels-in-the-post/) & [sendle](https://www.sendle.com/) An Australian startup by the name of Sendle is looking to disrupt the postage and parcel delivery industry in Australia by offering a new service that is designed to make it easier than ever for small businesses in particular to ship smaller batches of items at an affordable price. The problem with conventional postage options is that they aren't really economical unless you're involved in bulk shipping. This is where Sendle's parcel delivery comes in. The service allows users to have 500-gram satchels to be delivered anywhere in Australia for only $6.95, which is significantly cheaper than if identical packages are shipped by [Australia Post](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virgin-australia-2). This parcel delivery alternative will especially appeal to small businesses looking to save on time and expense when it comes to sending mail. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Customizable Parcel Delivery:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a platform that allows customers to customize their parcel delivery preferences and options for a personalized shipping experience. - **Affordable Small Batch Shipping:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a cost-effective solution for shipping smaller batches of items for small businesses, offering competitive pricing compared to traditional postage options. - **Economic Shipping for Small Businesses:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build a specialized shipping service for small businesses that provides economical rates for sending mail and packages, helping them save on time and expense. ### Sectors Adopting This - **E-commerce:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate customizable parcel delivery solutions into e-commerce platforms to enhance the overall shipping experience for customers. - **Logistics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Use technology and automation to streamline small batch shipping processes within the logistics industry, enabling faster and more cost-effective delivery options. - **Postal and Parcel Delivery:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new pricing models and services within the postal and parcel delivery industry that cater to the needs of small businesses and offer economical shipping solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [E-Commerce Logistics Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wish.md) - [Alternative Package Delivery Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickme.md) - [Shipment Tracking Toolkits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parcel-monitor.md) - [E-Bike Parcel Delivery Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axlehire-parcel-delivery.md) - [Cost-Effective Shipping Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/costeffective-shipping.md) - [Cost-Saving Newsletter Subscriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sesnap.md) - [Sustainable Parcel Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/india-post.md) - [Convenient Candy Delivery Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-delivery-co.md) - [End-To-End Parcel Delivery Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endtoend-parcel-delivery-platform.md)
