Demand for bulky goods delivery in Australia is expected to grow by 11.8% per year, increasing pressure on retailers and importers to move large appliances faster and with fewer errors. As order volumes rise, delays, storage bottlenecks, and failed deliveries quickly become expensive problems, especially when appliances are damaged or returns are hard to manage.
Couriers & Freight provides 3PL fulfilment for large appliances by managing the entire process through one coordinated workflow. Containers are received and unpacked, appliances are stored securely, orders are prepared accurately, and deliveries are handled by trained two-person teams. Installations and returns are managed where required.Â
With each step planned and tracked in one system, businesses gain more reliable delivery timing, clearer cost oversight, and better control over bulky freight operations.
Managing large appliances requires more than storage and transport. Businesses need a 3PL partner that handles bulky items safely, sticks to delivery schedules, and scales with changing volumes. Couriers & Freight supports this by managing the entire fulfilment process through one coordinated network, reducing the need to juggle multiple providers.
Businesses choose Couriers & Freight for large-appliance 3PL because it delivers practical, measurable benefits:
For example, a retailer importing washing machines into Sydney can rely on Couriers & Freight to receive, palletise, store, and distribute stock nationally from one system.
Couriers & Freight operates secure, monitored warehouses across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, purpose-built for storing large appliances such as fridges, washing machines, dishwashers, and televisions.
Stock is stored in bulk or palletised zones and handled in line with Australian safety requirements.
Businesses can choose short-term or long-term storage and scale space up during peak periods. Overflow capacity helps keep stock moving during seasonal surges or high-volume imports.
All pallets and bulk items are recorded in the Couriers & Freight online dashboard, giving teams clear visibility of stock levels at all times.

Inbound appliances are received, checked, and prepared for accurate dispatch. Orders are picked and packed by teams trained to handle heavy and oversized goods.
Where required, cartons can be re-labelled and stock re-palletised to meet retailer or distribution centre requirements.
Product condition checks are completed before dispatch, and outbound bookings are managed to keep orders moving on schedule.
Real-time reporting allows businesses to track stock movements and order progress, with systems that integrate easily into most e-commerce and B2B platforms.
Couriers & Freight deploys trained two-person teams with tail-lift vehicles to ensure large appliances are delivered safely and efficiently. Deliveries include room-of-choice placement and packaging removal at the destination.
Old-unit collection can be arranged where required. The delivery network covers major cities and regional areas, ensuring appliances reach stores or customers on time.
Returns and warranty swap-outs are managed through the same system as standard orders, keeping all movements visible and controlled.
Additional services support faster turnaround and operational flexibility. Containers can be unpacked on arrival, so goods are ready for storage or dispatch without delay.
Cross-docking enables stock to move directly from long-haul transport into local delivery runs.
Couriers & Freight also manages SSCC labelling and distribution centre bookings where required. Condition reports and proof-of-delivery records help businesses track each item through the fulfilment process.
Short-term storage, repacking, and seasonal handling options allow retailers and online sellers to adjust quickly to changing demand.

Couriers and Freight’s pricing for large appliance 3PL services is clear and transparent. Standard container unpacks and pallet handling use flat rates, and complex work is billed by the hour. This level of clarity helps small and medium businesses plan their budgets without surprises. Ongoing fulfilment programmes can be customised with scalable packages to meet client needs.Â
You can view quotes directly through our online platform, which makes approvals easier for warehouse managers, operations leads and finance teams. This helps reduce cost overruns and keeps delivery schedules predictable. Every pricing plan is built to give strong value for large appliance customers.
Couriers & Freight operates a national 3PL network that connects major ports with secure warehouses and retail distribution centres. This setup allows large appliances to move quickly from arrival through storage and onward delivery, reducing delays and unnecessary handling.
From these hubs, Couriers & Freight coordinates metro and regional distribution across Australia. Stock can be moved directly from port to warehouse, then dispatched to stores or customers in line with retailer and distribution centre requirements. This network supports both one-off shipments and ongoing fulfilment programs, making it easier for businesses to scale operations as volumes change.
Outsourcing large-appliance logistics helps businesses reduce operational pressure while improving delivery reliability. Partnering with a single 3PL gives companies clear control over storage, fulfilment, and distribution while avoiding the complexity of juggling multiple providers
Managing large appliances across storage, fulfilment, and delivery doesn’t need to involve multiple providers. Couriers & Freight handles the entire 3PL process, from receiving containers to delivering bulky appliances to stores or customers across Australia.
