This article will provide some information to help you make the right decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-startrack-vs-auspost-tale-of-two-shippers\">StarTrack vs. Auspost: Tale of two shippers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Qantas and Australia Post bought StarTrack on <a href=\"https:\/\/au.superbrands.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/StarTrack_v1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">23 December 2003<\/a>. In <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20121121095251\/http:\/\/auspost.com.au\/about-us\/australia-post-finalises-startrack-acquisition.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">November 2012<\/a>, Australia Post purchased a 50% stake in StarTrack from Qantas. It is now the sole shareholder in StarTrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While StarTrack retains its name and branding (as a standalone company within the group), it offers the same services as Australia Post. This adds capacity to Australia Post&rsquo;s express and tracked parcel services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These two courier companies, StarTrack and Auspost, are often compared against each other. But, they are now one and the same business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Australia Post is owned and operated by the government. StarTrack was founded in 1974, as a company that offers various distribution services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After being fully acquired by Australia Post in June 2014, the business was split into two arms:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Australia Post: retail and communication services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>StarTrack: parcel and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/au\/blog\/logistics-operations\/\">logistics operations<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-startrack-services-walkthrough\">StarTrack services walkthrough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are looking for cost-effective parcel and logistics support, then StarTrack courier service adds a lot of value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it has been struggling quite a bit with customer service and reliability, even after its acquisition by Australia Post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of reliability, cost, and speed, here is an overview of StarTrack&#8217;s reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reliable\">Reliable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">StarTrack provides greater freight capacity on all Qantas-flown-routes, and reliable delivery of each consignment to your customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With StarTrack, you can gain priority access to Qantas Freights for domestic air deliveries. They also offer proof of delivery notifications via email or text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cost\">Cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The StarTrack Express solution offers affordable national <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipbob.com\/au\/blog\/b2b-ecommerce\/\">B2B ecommerce<\/a> distribution of parcels via ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its other parcel delivery options are also competitively priced when you set up a StarTrack account. However, keep in mind that StarTrack recently increased its prices by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartcompany.com.au\/business-advice\/competition\/peter-strong-australia-post-damage-small-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4.9%<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-speed\">Speed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">StarTrack has several fast delivery services which include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>StarTrack Premium for business day delivery across Australia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>StarTrack Courier for 24\/7 same-day metro delivery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>StarTrack Next Flight for 24\/7 same-day interstate delivery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reviews\">Reviews<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">StarTrack has been facing a lot of customer complaints about misplaced or delayed deliveries. And this has affected the overall brand image in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-auspost-services-walkthrough\">Auspost services walkthrough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Australia Post has a vast national delivery network for retail deliveries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to the acquisition of StarTrack, the reach has only grown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is an overview of Auspost&#8217;s services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-costs\">Costs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the prices offered by Australia Post are competitive, they have recently increased their shipping rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, they do offer discounts on bulk shipping, which is ideal for ecommerce businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the costs as outlined on the Auspost&#8217;s website are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Economy<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Standard<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Express<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Courier<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/auspost.com.au\/business\/shipping\/international-shipping\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International delivery<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td>A$8.95<\/td><td>A$14.80<\/td><td>A$29.80<\/td><td>A$89.80<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td colspan=\"2\"><strong>Standard&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td colspan=\"2\"><strong>Express<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/auspost.com.au\/business\/shipping\/domestic-shipping\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Domestic delivery<\/a><\/strong><\/td><td colspan=\"2\">A$9.70<\/td><td colspan=\"2\">A$12.70<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-speed-1\">Speed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For sales and deliveries to individual customers (under 5kg), Australia Post offers one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/content\/dam\/Deloitte\/au\/Documents\/Economics\/deloitte-au-economics-value-australia-post-150818.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fastest delivery modes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For domestic shipping, its standard delivery service ensures that your parcels reach in 2+ business days, while with express delivery should reach within the next day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Please note at the time of this article being published, Auspost&#8217;s express services are suspended. you can find more information <a href=\"https:\/\/auspost.com.au\/service-updates\/domestic-service-updates\/changes-to-express-post-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For international services, the delivery times depend on the origin and final destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reviews-1\">Reviews<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Auspost <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbs.com.au\/news\/article\/unstoppable-decline-the-reasons-why-australias-postal-service-has-to-change\/9kyqfak9l\">lags behind competition<\/a> for not implementing the latest delivery systems technology. Missed deliveries and late deliveries are common complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Australia Post is well regarded for being reliable, it still has a lot of work to do to meet the expectations of today&#8217;s customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-auspost-vs-startrack-and-the-winner-is\">Auspost vs. StarTrack: And the winner is&hellip;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">StarTrack and AusPost together make for one of Australia&rsquo;s most trusted freight and logistics providers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">StarTrack brings to AusPost a superior delivery network that enables the latter to ship parcels to more than 190 countries. Whereas Australia Post is a legacy business with considerable reach and reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter what your shipping requirement is, AusPost and StarTrack (since they are part of the same business) should be able to offer solutions. This is why there is no need to consider one over the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since it delivers on Saturdays also, you can rely on Australia Post to manage more urgent deliveries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, be mindful that because of its smaller international presence, it&#8217;s not ideal for cross-border shipments. It can best be used to serve businesses that deal in Australia-based orders (such as those in transit from Melbourne to Sydney or Perth or Brisbane ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shipbob-s-winning-courier-network\">ShipBob&rsquo;s winning courier network<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ShipBob boasts a wide courier partner and fulfilment network.
