Book Direct Couriers through Senditt.

Direct Couriers was founded in 1983 and bought by its current owners in 1994. It operates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, and in Auckland in New Zealand, and its head office is at Banksmeadow in Sydney. The branches grew on their own and by buying small and mid-sized transport companies, and in 2019 it bought Andrews Refrigerated Transport, which became its Direct Cold division. Behind the vehicles sit more than 250 office staff, and the driving is done by more than 1,300 sub-contractors.

Same-day courier and taxi truck services cover the metropolitan areas of its capitals, in three tiers it calls Regular, Express and Elite, and its own booking sheet codes them C, XC and XXX, with taxi trucks coded T1 to T20. The fleet of more than 1,300 vehicles runs from cars and small vans to semi-trailers, all GPS tracked for despatch, customer service and customers. Work runs around the clock, every day of the year, with surcharges after hours, on weekends and on public holidays.
