At PackedPosted, we’re more than just a fulfilment provider – we’re your stepping stone to something bigger. We specialise in helping growing e-commerce brands streamline operations, overcome hurdles, and scale smarter.
But our story is a little different from most fulfilment companies.
Where It All Began
When I left school in 2008, digital cameras were all the rage, and traditional photo labs were closing their doors. I saw an opportunity in the resurgence of 35mm film, driven by a new “Lomography” trend, and started selling camera films online. Before long, I began importing camera equipment from Asia to re-sell and discovered a passion for building businesses.
Over the years, I’ve set up and run dozens of small businesses – many were nothing more than side hustles during my time working offshore. By 2018, e-commerce had become my main focus, and in 2020, during the COVID boom, I went all-in, growing my businesses year after year.
The biggest challenge I found time and time again? Scaling beyond a certain point. I found myself spending more time-solving problems, processing orders, and packing shipments than actually growing the business. It became clear that without support, it was impossible to reach the next level.
The Birth of PackedPosted
By 2023, we were already shipping ingredient kits – made popular during COVID for virtual team building events – for third parties and working with contacts in the e-commerce space. It wasn’t uncommon to hear complaints about fulfilment partners or the struggles of doing it all themselves. These were problems I’d faced before and, in many cases, had already solved.
I started helping friends and contacts with their shipping challenges, and it quickly became clear there was a demand for a better solution. In 2023, we formalised our operations and officially launched PackedPosted in 2024.
Why We Do What We Do
I love business, e-commerce, and building brands. There are only so many businesses I can run myself, but I’ve realised I can get the same satisfaction by helping other brands grow and thrive.
For me, the honeymoon period of a business – when it’s becoming profitable, still a small team, and full of potential – is the most exciting time. Helping other brands experience that feeling and supporting them through their growth is what drives us at PackedPosted.
Our Values
- We’re Hands-On: I’ve tried almost every aspect of business you can imagine – packing orders, building websites, handling customer service, and more. I’ve made plenty of mistakes along the way, but I’ve learned a lot, and that experience is what we bring to the table.
- We Care About Your Success: We’re a small, agile team of people who genuinely care about doing a great job. Seeing our partners succeed is what keeps us going, and it’s a critical personality trait for anyone who works here.
- We’re Partners, Not Just Providers: We want to be more than a fulfilment service – we want to be part of your journey, helping you scale smarter and achieve your goals.
