A late courier can sink an urgent legal file, a customer order or a big furniture move, and a poor pick costs you time and money.

The right service depends on what you’re sending and how fast it has to arrive, so one courier rarely suits every job. That’s why I compared Brisbane delivery companies on speed, range, price and ease of booking, from express local runs to interstate freight.

Here are the best delivery services in Brisbane for parcels and heavy items.

1. Pack & Send Milton

Website: packsend.com.au

Address: Unit 2, 31 Black Street, Milton 

Contact: 07 3367 3838 | [email protected]

Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM | Saturday, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM | Sunday, closed

Packing fragile electronics or delicate artwork for dispatch is stressful. Pack & Send Milton eases that with custom foam packaging and timber crating that keep sensitive goods safe.

I tested that myself when I dropped off a delicate prototype last month. The team had it wrapped securely in custom foam in minutes.

Beyond packing, their team near Suncorp Stadium runs same-day local couriers, interstate freight and overseas shipping with full customs paperwork support. 

That suits travellers who need excess baggage shipped and businesses that want freight they can track.

However, they’re open for just three hours on Saturdays, so weekend drop-offs need tight planning.

Customer Reviews

Many thanks for the exceptional service!

No wonder this place has  290 five-star reviews.

I recently visited Pack & Send Milton to drop off a parcel for international delivery, just moments before closing time. I was assisted by a handsome gentleman—regrettably, I did not catch his name—who was both courteous and exceedingly helpful.

It is truly refreshing to encounter individuals who take genuine pride in their work.

Many thanks for the exceptional service!

Update: Package securely arrived in Zurich

with very specific delivery guidelines and timeframes.

Julie and the team at Pack and Send Milton were great to work with. I had a job that required quick turnaround times for interstate delivery with very specific delivery guidelines and timeframes. Everything worked out smoothly, and they were very responsive and easy to work with.

2. All Purpose Transport

Website: allpurpose.com.au

Address: 132–166 Gilmore Road, Berrinba 

Contact: 07 3719 2111 | [email protected]

Hours: Monday to Friday, 7:40 AM to 5:00 PM | Saturday to Sunday, closed

Heavy freight needs serious horsepower. All Purpose Transport brings it across Southeast Queensland with semi-trailers and B-double trucks, and they’ve done so since 1975.

That covers courier runs, home furniture removals, refrigerated transport and warehousing for shops and businesses. 

If you only need a vehicle, you can hire one by the hour, or on a semi-permanent or permanent basis as your needs change.

A colleague hired one of their taxi trucks for an office move last year. The driver arrived right on time and handled the heavy machinery effortlessly.

However, some regional Queensland routes only get one run a week, so plan ahead for deliveries outside the city.

Customer Reviews

I don’t believe I have had goods delivered by All Purpose Transport

I don’t believe I have had goods delivered by All Purpose Transport recently, but I would gladly use them again. The driver was professional and friendly. He let me know when he was 30-40 mins away and delivered in that window of time. He also thanked me for the delivery instructions and followed them perfectly.

Very happy customer

I would definitely recommend Luke for your next delivery

We had our order  from IKEA today delivered by Luke from All Purpose Transport

He was very polite and well mannered

Called when he was half an hour away so we were ready for the delivery

Arrived within the time he had said.

Took great care with the items as if it was for himself

Told us which were the breakables boxes.

Everything arrived in perfect condition due to his care and attention of other peoples belongings .

I would definitely recommend Luke for your next delivery and will definitely be requesting him again

Great job Luke 👌

3. InXpress Head Office

Website: au.inxpress.com

Address: Level 5, 116 Adelaide Street

Contact: 1300 469 773 | [email protected]

Hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM | Saturday to Sunday, closed

Shipping costs eat into an online shop’s margins fast. InXpress Head Office on Adelaide Street helps small businesses cut them with bulk carrier discounts, which you access through their WebShip digital booking system.

That system connects you with major carriers for local, national and overseas parcels. It also puts quotes, orders and live tracking in one dashboard. I found it simple to use when I generated freight quotes for regular business shipments.

The software isn’t the only help on offer, though. Local franchise owners also act as dedicated shipping consultants, so you get personal help on top of it.

That personal service has a catch. Each franchise is run independently, so service options and local features differ by territory.

Customer Reviews

They accommodated my preferred delivery date

Stefan and team were simply amazing! They accommodated my preferred delivery date and even helped me out to unload my new (very heavy!) dining table. (Thank you!!) The price was really competitive and such a breeze to organise. Highly recommend Stefan and his team at InXpress, so friendly and helpful.

She went above and beyond to be available

Such an amazing experience. I cannot rate Melindas customer service highly enough. She went above and beyond to be available around the clock and answered any questions I had at the drop of a hat. She kept me updated and informed throughout the whole service delivery.

4. Handy Truck Brisbane

Website: handytruck.com.au

Areas served: Brisbane, QLD

Contact: 1300 132 670 | [email protected]

Hours: Advertised as open 24 hours, 7 days a week

Sudden spot deliveries, bulky furniture pickups and small office moves rarely wait for a good time. Handy Truck Brisbane answers that with professional drivers and reliable utes, vans or trucks. 

That puts them among the furniture delivery services in Brisbane that also handle small office relocations.

Their flexibility works for businesses too. A local merchant I spoke with used their multi-person team for an urgent inventory transfer. They praised the prompt door-to-door loading and the helpful assembly support.

However, hourly billing means your total cost can swing with traffic and job length. 

Moving massive loads also means hiring extra workers.

Customer Reviews

We would definitely recommend his services

Paul assisted my mother today with moving a very large reclining chair. From quoting to delivery Paul was very professional and helpful. We would definitely recommend his services and will look to use him again. Thank you Paul.

will certainly be using your services for all future jobs and happy to recommend you

I could not recommend Paul highly enough.  We are a manufacturing business and rely heavily on delivery services.   We have tried many over the years and had some bad experiences with others. Paul has done many deliveries for us now throughout last year and this year .  Every time I have had positive feedback from my clients when using his services.  Paul is prompt, professional and his rates are more than reasonable.   Thanks Paul  will certainly be using your services for all future jobs and happy to recommend you to anyone that needs their things moved.

Cheers

5. PNL Express Brisbane Pty Ltd

Website: pnlqld.com.au

Address: 16 Copia Street, Calamvale

Contact: 0449 248 282 | 07 3733 0300

Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM | Saturday to Sunday, closed

PNL Express Brisbane runs a delivery service between Korea and Brisbane, with a focus on international parcels and freight for people shipping goods to Australia.

That focus means they handle more than small packages, including furniture, household items and other bulky purchases from Korea. 

You can also arrange the overseas shipping yourself instead of relying on family or friends to handle your purchases for you.

However, you’ll want to contact them directly before booking to confirm the shipping method and delivery arrangements. 

They advertise advance notice of delivery schedules and fees, but you may still need to plan around the confirmed delivery schedule.

Customer Reviews

This was a great customer service. THANK YOU.

I sent goods to my friend from Korea to Brisbane through PNL Express. My friend got the parcel today and told me I must give 5 star reveiw for her, as she was impressed with the service. My friend got a call for the delivery would be today to her address and she mentioned that she was not home, at her mom’s place. The delivery man delivered to her mom’s so she can get the parcel asap direct to her.  This was a great customer service. THANK YOU. (I will keep use PNL as it is the most economical logic service from Korea to Australia atm. )

It was faster and cheaper than other companies.

I received little furniture from Korea using pnl service.  It was faster and cheaper than other companies.  Also, they took care of the packaging so that it wouldn’t break and delivered it to my home when I wanted to.  Satisfied and will continue to use.
