SkyNet Worldwide Express has announced a 30%–50% reduction in delivery times from the UK. These improved efficiencies were achieved by meticulous connections mapping and optimised logistics; the new delivery window is now 2–5 days, a substantial improvement from the previous 4–8 days.

“Every connection is now made within 4 hours of arrival at a transit point, effectively eliminating any lag,” commented Ed Clarke, SkyNet’s Operations Director.

“As a result, goods ordered from Australia on Tuesday would typically be delivered on a Thursday or Friday. This attention to operational efficiency ensures that SkyNet can not only meet our Service Level Agreements but, more importantly, enables us to fulfil the promises that retailers make to their end consumers.”

SkyNet serves both private customers and a stable of business clients such as ASOS, Next, JD Sports, and the House of Fraser Group. By using five strategic Australian entry points, the company maximises coverage and minimises transit times.

As a result, Skynet now offers 2–3-day delivery for urban areas, 2–4 days for rural and 4–5 days for outback. SkyNet ran trials throughout October to ensure alignment with airline schedules and refine delivery targets. Each leg of the journey is traceable, providing real-time updates for customers. Customs clearance begins before the goods leave the UK, typically clearing Australian customs within 2–4 hours of arrival.

“We are now planning to adapt this efficient approach across all our major trading lanes,” said Ed Clarke. “Being an independent company gives us the flexibility to choose from any commercial flight offering cargo, courier, or e-commerce services. This allows us to tailor our solutions to meet specific customer needs and create efficiencies where large consolidators would struggle.”
