For us for better

NEXT-DAY DELIVERY FOR your business, Without changing a Thing with your current setup

The Problem

DELIVERY SHOULD HELP YOU

KEEP CUSTOMERS –

NOT LOSE THEM.

For your customer, a missed or lengthy delivery does not feel like a carrier problem; it feels like a problem with your shop. And if that wasn’t enough, Melbourne shoppers have rising delivery expectations while customer retention is more fragile than ever before.

FOUNDER STORY

the story behind

LOCAL DELIVERY MELBOURNE

HEY THERE, MY NAME IS ALEX

AND I AM THE FOUNDER OF

LOCAL DELIVERY MELBOURNE.

HEY THERE, MY NAME IS ALEX AND I AM THE FOUNDER OF

LOCAL DELIVERY MELBOURNE.

Growing up in Germany, I’ve seen what happens when independent shops are pushed out of business by large enterprises and impersonal carriers such as Amazon and the National Post, and let me tell you this: it is not desirable.


No matter whether you realise it or not, the independent business landscape here in Melbourne is unique, wonderful, and worth supporting, yet the pressure of large enterprises and rising customer expectations are ruthless.


We can’t stop the competition, but we can challenge back, and that is why I quit my well-paid job as an independent consultant and founded Local Delivery Melbourne – your delivery partner that exclusively serves small businesses to ensure that your customers get the best delivery experience imaginable.
