Oversized cartons, pallets, or B2B: eStore partners with Direct Freight Express to scale specialised freight capabilities

We have expanded our national network by integrating Direct Freight Express (DFE), providing a high-performance solution for oversized shipments with the same automated efficiency as our parcel services.

At eStore Logistics, our mission is to provide a carrier for every profile and a solution for every scale. We are excited to announce the addition of Direct Freight Express (DFE) to our national carrier network as a strategic move to enhance our ability to support brands shipping oversized cartons, pallets, and B2B orders across Australia.

This partnership isn’t just about adding more options; it’s about rounding out a world-class logistics ecosystem that evolves alongside your business.

The right network for the right profile

As businesses grow, their shipping needs become more diverse. A brand might start with small parcels and evolve into oversized goods, long-format cartons, or full-scale wholesale distribution. 

Direct Freight Express is purpose-built to thrive in those exact scenarios. By integrating DFE, we are providing a specialised home for freight that requires a bit more room to move, covering both oversized deliveries directly to a consumer’s doorstep as well as retail stores and high-volume pallet shipments to commercial storefronts.

Operational excellence, nationwide

• Versatile Dimensions: DFE’s infrastructure is optimised for cartons up to 30kg and lengths up to 1.5m, providing a seamless path for items outside standard parcel dimensions. For specialised requirements, the network accommodates lengths of up to 6m, ensuring even your longest freight has a home (additional charges apply for items over 1.5m).
• Wholesale & B2B Pallets: From standard skids to 2m high pallets, DFE provides a business-grade solution that handles wholesale and B2B orders with the same precision as e-commerce deliveries.
• Dangerous Goods Specialist: We’ve unlocked a streamlined, cost-effective way to ship Limited Quantity (LQ) Dangerous Goods (such as aerosols and lithium batteries) across a company-owned network.
• Owned-Network Reliability: With 65 owned depots and a massive national fleet, DFE offers consistent next-day delivery between major capital cities and reliable linehaul across all states.

Integrated innovation

The true power of this partnership lies in eStore Logistics’ proprietary technology. Our freight optimisation software automatically applies your specific business rules to select the most suitable carrier for every order. This ensures that your oversized items and B2B shipments find their perfect match within our network. It’s all handled automatically with zero manual effort from your team.

"We are constantly looking for ways to improve outcomes for our customers by ensuring our menu of services matches their evolving needs. Our partnership with DFE is a strategic addition for brands that require a high-performance bridge between traditional parcel delivery and heavy freight. By plugging DFE’s company-owned national infrastructure directly into the eStore platform, we’re providing the scalability and flexibility our partners need to ship smarter and grow faster," said Leigh Williams, Founder & MD at eStore Logistics.
