The rapid expansion of E-commerce in Australia prompted the parcel delivery service CouriersPlease to prepare for increased demand for its services by opening two new logistics facilities.

The Melbourne and Perth locations will help the company reach clients domestically and overseas.  In Victoria, the hub in the Drystone Industrial Estate in Truganina replaces the company's Port Melbourne facility, and when combined with the existing Mulgrave facility will established east-to-west coverage of Melbourne.  In WA, the new Welshpool facility will be the delivery hub for Perth and Western Australia.

"CouriersPlease has relocated our logistics facilities in major capital cities in order to accommodate the significant growth in the volume of parcels moving throughout our network," said CouriersPlease CEO Mark McGinley.  "Our commitment in moving to the west of Melbourne has stemmed from it being a massive growth corridor with some of the highest rates of online shopping in the country.  Our new Welshpool depot gives us greater coverage of the city and a larger warehouse space for logistics operations, allowing us to bring a better service to our customers.  With room for future expansion, we hope to bring more jobs and opportunities to the local community."

A year ago, the company opened a relocated Brisbane depot in Salisbury, QLD.  Later this year, CouriersPlease will add a new depot in Marleston, SA to service Adelaide.
