20 Parcel delivery in Cairns

Parcel delivery services include collecting your parcel from your home or office, then delivering the package to your specified address. This service is done on the same day express to ensure an urgent box is delivered in only a couple of hours to a local address, or even overnight. Some taskers offer overseas delivery services as well.

Parcel same-day delivery

This type of parcel delivery service is also known as local delivery. When you hire taskers to do this service, they collect the parcel at your home or office, then take your package to the specified address. This type of service is best suited for when you don’t have the time or have the means to deliver an essential parcel to a location across town. Same-day delivery is similar to services that do grocery delivery.  

Parcel express delivery

When you need to deliver an essential package or document across town urgently, express delivery is the type of parcel delivery you should use. Taskers take your parcel and get it to its destination straight away; you can expect your package to arrive in 2 to 3 hours from the pickup. This service is best for urgent deliveries like legal documents that must be signed, or orders from customers. Use this service for only the most critical tasks, as these don’t come cheap.

Overnight delivery

This type of delivery is suited for when you don’t deem the arrival of your parcel as urgent. Overnight or next-day delivery is cheaper than express or same-day delivery and is excellent for delivering bulky items. Usually, taskers inform you of their pickup time, so have your parcel ready by then so they can collect your parcel and delivery can be completed the next day. If you have a business that needs to deliver regularly to specific locations, this can be a valuable service.

Parcel overseas delivery

Overseas courier delivery is perfect for sending a care package to a friend or relative abroad. This type of delivery can be more cost-efficient, and your parcel can arrive sooner than using the post. Speak to taskers that offer this service before you decide to send via their service so that you're informed of the parcel weights and dimensions, and their corresponding costs.
