Starleaton to adjust its freight charges from 1 March

Due to ongoing increases in fuel levies and rising costs across all Starleaton’s freight forwarders, the company has advised that there will soon be an adjustment to its freight charges from 1 March.

“Over recent months, freight providers have implemented multiple cost increases, particularly relating to fuel surcharges,” Starleaton said.

“We have absorbed these increases for as long as possible; however, to continue maintaining reliable and efficient delivery services, a freight price adjustment is now necessary.

“Please be assured that we remain committed to keeping any increases to a minimum while continuing to provide the high level of service and support you expect from us.

“If you have any questions regarding how this may affect your orders, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team.”

The announcement follows recent news of Starleaton launching a new website weeks after damning findings from the liquidators of the former company Starleaton Holdings and the re-emergence of the brand and business under a new entity Starleaton Pty Ltd.

The company recently recommenced trading under Starleaton Pty Ltd, operating with the same website address and branding as the former business that entered liquidation in June 2025.

The relaunch was made possible through the ownership of the Starleaton brand, company name, and intellectual property – all of which have always been held by the company’s original founder, Peter Eaton.
