For retailers
Premium delivery for your boutique.
You’re already paying for your space. Let’s make it work harder for you.
You’ve already invested in your shopfront, staff and inventory. TrendPorter is creating another way for customers to discover and purchase products already available in your store, with same-day delivery.
Your existing store. Your existing stock. Another opportunity to sell.
Free shipping isn’t free for retailers.
Many retailers absorb shipping costs to remain competitive. TrendPorter is designed to give customers the option to pay for same-day local delivery, without requiring participating retailers to organise their own delivery drivers.
Use Existing Store Stock
Orders are fulfilled from participating retail locations.
Reach Nearby Customers
Give customers another reason to shop your store, even when they can’t get there themselves.
Same-Day Fulfilment
TrendPorter coordinates the local delivery experience.
Potential Postage Savings
For eligible local orders where customers choose and pay for TrendPorter delivery, retailers may be able to reduce some retailer-funded traditional postage costs.
Try-On at Home
Eligible retailers can participate in TrendPorter’s planned Try-On at Home experience.
No Warehouse Transfer
Your inventory stays where it already works — in your store.
Why local delivery matters
When postal deadlines pass, local shopping doesn’t have to stop.
Every Christmas, traditional parcel delivery services publish recommended posting deadlines. But what about customers who still need a last-minute gift, outfit or special-occasion purchase? The perfect item might already be sitting in a local boutique.
TrendPorter is being designed to connect those customers with products available in participating stores, with same-day delivery on eligible orders. Unlike traditional interstate parcel shipping, eligible local deliveries don’t depend on national Christmas postal lodgement deadlines.
This opportunity extends beyond Christmas to birthdays, weddings, special events and everyday last-minute purchases.
Delivery will depend on retailer trading hours, stock confirmation, driver availability, service area and operational cut-off times. TrendPorter is in pre-launch development and is not operating for Christmas 2026.
Our founding retailer pilot
We’re building with retailers, not just for retailers.
We’re preparing a small, carefully managed Melbourne founding pilot for early 2027. We’re deliberately recruiting and preparing our retail partners and driver cohort ahead of launch, rather than asking stores to learn a new system during the Christmas peak trading period. Our founding retailers will help us test the experience, understand what works and shape improvements before wider expansion.
- Reach potential new local customers.
- Create another sales channel using existing store inventory.
- Customer-funded same-day delivery.
- No monthly platform fee during the pilot.
- No POS integration required for the initial pilot.
- Opportunity to provide feedback and help shape the platform.
Submitting an expression of interest does not guarantee acceptance into the pilot.
