The Delivery Don

The Delivery Don We are a convenience pickup/delivery service. We aim to help small businesses that can't afford to hire delivery drivers, people with no car or licence .

We are here to do the inconvenient jobs. Favourite restaurant doesn't deliver but does takeaway, Click & Collect , dry cleaning , papers to the office on the other side of town. Whether you are too slack, too busy, no license or had too much to drink we can pickup and deliver, for a small fee to cover our costs and time.

If you have come looking for us I am sorry but we have been forced to close The Delivery Don. I wish there was someone else I could recommend to help you out but at the time of this post I cannot think of any. But Thank You for taking the time to check on the status of us.
For the last time stay safe and bye for now.

Just letting everyone know as of 28/08/2025 we are no longer associated with Aramex in any capacity. We will sorely miss our regular customers. At this stage where that leaves the business I am unsure. I have to go get some advice. But we would like to thank all our customers for the last 9 years. It has certainly been a roller coaster.

Thanks for coming to see if The Delivery Don is still going. Well the short answer is yes. The long answer is we sub contract to Aramex for parcel delivery. As this takes up so much of our time we at this time are not taking on any extra work. But you never know where this world is going to lead you so keep an eye out for any of our future ventures.

Hi everyone we would just like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a prosperous Happy New Year. We will be closing up shop about 4.30 - 5pm Friday 23/12/22 and reopened 8.00 am 03/01/23. Please stay safe and share the love this festive season Don & Karyn.

Hey peoples thought I had better give a bit of a fill in where we are at.
We have updated our hours to 5pm, given that we have agreed to service Starcut flowers till 4.30pm - 5 pm Monday to Friday. We may as well be open to the general public as well.We will however not accept new deliveries after 4.30pm and as usual subject to availability.
We have sold the van and now have 2 small SUV's which are more economical given petrol expenses and having to maintain 3 vehicles.
While we predominately do the parcel deliveries we have still been doing our random deliveries as well as previously mentioned helping out Starcut Flowers of an afternoon. If you wander what we deliver here are some examples to give you an idea.
We have picked up a purchase of cupcakes and cookies from Marian and delivered to Rural View.
We have picked up from Bunnings and dropped at a family members house so they could take with them when visiting.
Picked up water for an isolating family and parts for a Mechanic.
These are just a few examples and as you can see it is hard to say exactly what we deliver, but it is as easy as something you don't want to or can't pickup or drop off then give us a call and see if we can.

Well we have just done our final weekend working.
Our transition is complete. We will no longer be delivering for Starcut flowers fulltime and have moved across to sub contract parcel delivery. This will allow us to continue with our random deliveries that we often perform such as parts pickups, lunch pickups and various other types of small item deliveries without the need to employ. We will continue to assist Starcut flowers but just not in the full time sense we have done for the last 5 - 6 yrs.
We have done this change for a variety of reasons but foremost to allow us to reclaim some of our lost personal life.
Our new hours of service as shown on our page will be Monday to Friday 9am - 2.30pm.
We look forward to doing what we love to do. Helping people but also reconnecting with our families.

We have kept some bags to allow us to continue delivering food when required. This is the equipment used by our previous staff.

Hi all Happy New Year.
Unfortunately for some it has started even worse than last year ended.
With the closure of our last food customer we have ceased our night services for the time being.
After nearly 6 1/2 years servicing this industry we have decided we will no longer continue given the inequality of treatment shown to small business as opposed to the likes of Menulog, Door Dash and Uber Eats.
While we are forced to pay exuberant wages because we have been forced into the Road Transport Award, these companies have been finally made to pay a minimum wage.
They are allowed to charge the restaurants etc around 35% of the order cost, the recipient a delivery charge and since this decision another surcharge for the recipient with not a word said from the Government. Meanwhile nearly all our takings are spent in wages and sometimes more than our takings if there are public holidays.
This means for the time being we are closing for the day at our afternoon closing time.
We may in the near future resume our general public deliveries Tuesday to Saturday nights 5pm - 8 pm but for the time being we are just going to enjoy the novelty of being home of a night for a bit.
We will put up a post when or if we decide to proceed with this.
