Why PACK & SEND?
Becoming a PACK & SEND franchisee is not for everyone. PACK & SEND is first and foremost a people business that prides itself on providing solutions for customers who have complex or difficult packaging and freight problems. We specialise in packing and sending items that are fragile, large, awkward or valuable and our customers range from private individuals to global brands such as Qantas airlines and Coca Cola.
As Associate members of the British Franchise Association (BFA) you can be confident that choosing PACK & SEND as a partner for your new business will be a wise and safe choice. Having been trading in our native Australia since 1993, we have an established business model which is proving to be as unique and successful in the UK as it has been in our original market.
We pride ourselves on our No Limits culture and our broad range of packaging and freight solutions allow our franchisees to create solutions for their customer’s problems that have proven to hard for anyone else to solve. That’s why we have raving fans as customers because our franchisees can and do go the extra mile.
Originating in Australia we have been doing this for almost 20 years and are now developing our high customer service brand across the globe, with our first four UK stores having opened in 2009/10.
PACK & SEND specialises in servicing gaps in the logistics market that other companies are unwilling or unable to service. Our business has prospered because there is always a need for goods to be packed and sent around the UK and globally.
However, today's logistics industry has dramatically changed with more goods being moved than ever before. This demand has not only come from the development of large global organizations but as a result of the growth of a number of trends:
- A substantial increase in international travel, whether it be tourists, international students, or people working abroad and away from their family.
- An increase in the ability of small businesses and private individuals to open up a global market by selling their goods and items online – ebay being the most obvious example.
- The development of the art and antiques market into a global market place with private collectors and dealers increasingly buying and selling art across international boundaries
Our PACK & SEND retail business system caters for this growing global demand, providing an unmatched level of flexibility, reliability and convenience to our customers.
Our franchise opportunity is booming, not only because we service a market with unlimited sales opportunities, but because we also offer:
• A low initial investment compared to other retail franchise businesses.
• High gross profit margin products and services.
• Low staffing levels.
• Low levels of non-perishable stock.
• Business to business trading hours.
• High value franchisee support services.
• Commitment to high profile national consumer and business media advertising and promotion.
