Who is TNT?

Thomas Nationwide Transport, known more commonly as TNT, started in 1946 with just one international truck. Over the years, it grew significantly and partnered with multiple organisations to increase its reach across Australia and overseas.

Today, TNT has merged with FedEx to deliver parcels around the country and to more than 220 countries and territories. Every week in Europe, TNT completes 55,000 trips by road and over 700 flights.

TNT’s size and experience in the industry means it can provide more services than most other providers. The company offers B2C and B2B solutions as well as the option to ship using pallets for larger items.

What are the TNT Service Options?

What Businesses Should Ship with TNT

TNT provides a comprehensive delivery solution for parcels up to 25kg, making it an excellent choice for e-commerce deliveries directly to residential addresses or consumers.

For heavier parcels exceeding 25kg, TNT is more appropriate for business-to-business transactions. Due to the substantial residential surcharge for these heavier items, TNT's services for such weights are not cost-effective for e-commerce deliveries to residential addresses. Instead, they are better suited for wholesale businesses that require reliable and efficient transportation of bulk goods.

When it comes to international shipping, TNT excels in catering to all types of businesses for both exports and imports. They offer a variety of shipping options to accommodate the size and weight of the parcels, ensuring that businesses can find a suitable service for their international logistics needs.
