Through carefully curated monthly subscription boxes\u2014each highlighting a different specialty Australian coffee roaster\u2014they empower customers to act as their own baristas and craft the perfect brew at home, while also providing a platform for local roasters to share their unique coffee blends with the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What started out as a simple operation\u2014a warehouse and some Excel spreadsheets, averaging 600 orders a month\u2014has rapidly grown to become the largest coffee subscription business in Australia, delivering over 5,000 subscription boxes to homes across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-grinding-away-from-manual-spreadsheets-to-slick-operations\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Grinding away: from manual spreadsheets to slick operations<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But success didn\u2019t come overnight. The grind (no pun intended) came first.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-shipstation-testimonial block not-prose\">\n    <div class=\"content-theme--light content--md\">\n        <div class=\"container not-prose\">\n                        <div class=\"testimonial-contained-bg bg-cobalt-lightest content-theme--light\">\n            \n                            <div class=\"testimonial-stack\">\n                                                    <div class=\"testimonial-item testimonial-item--align-left testimonial-item--quote-large testimonial-item--pos-side testimonial-item--img-quote\">\n                            <div class=\"testimonial-item__quote-mark\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span><\/span><\/div>\n            \n            <div class=\"testimonial-item__content\">\n                                    <div class=\"testimonial-item__quote\">\n                        <p>We started with manual spreadsheets, and it was very time consuming. We had 5-6 staff who would spend an entire day once a month, picking and packing roughly 600 orders. It was unsustainable.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                \n                                    <div class=\"testimonial-item__attribution\">\n                                                    <div class=\"testimonial-item__person\">Patrick Zhang \u2014 Director<\/div>\n                                                                                                    <div class=\"testimonial-item__business\">Thieves Coffee<\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                \n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n            \n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That inefficiency soon crept into other areas of the business. The ability to only fulfill orders once a month meant one customer might be left waiting 30 days from the time they ordered to the time the coffee box arrived on their doorstep, while another might only have to wait for 1 day, depending on which time of the month they ordered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the goal to reduce overhead, deliver a consistent customer experience and get more coffee boxes into the hands of their customers, Thieves Coffee partnered with ShipStation in 2019. The impact was immediate: dispatch times dropped to 1 to 2 days\u2014with select orders fulfilled in under 24 hours\u2014processing an average of 170 orders a day with a core team of just two full-time employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_2834-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-110524\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover;width:1024px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_2834-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_2834-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_2834-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_2834-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_2834-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ability to dispatch orders on a daily basis, soon became a huge selling point for the growing coffee subscription business, giving customers the flexibility to sign up and order customized subscription boxes at any time during the month and have them delivered within 48 hours. It also allowed Thieves Coffee to diversify their offerings, which included a \u201cbuy now, send later\u201d subscription for coffee packs purchased as a gift. Any orders tagged as a gift are automatically held for up to 30 days and dispatched at a time of the customer\u2019s choosing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe ability to provide our customers with more customizable and flexible coffee subscription options has been a game changer for us,\u201d Zhang explained. \u201cThat is thanks to ShipStation\u2019s auto-tagging capabilities and automation rules making this possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The time savings have also been substantial. With roughly 70% of their orders coming from regular customers vs 30% of customers who might order a coffee box as a one-off, that equates to roughly 3,800 regular orders a month. With an average of 1-2 minutes saved per order by replacing manual data entry with automation, it has saved Thieves Coffee up to 100 hours of manual work per quarter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"966\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Thieves-gift-092-edited-1-966x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-110574\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Thieves-gift-092-edited-1-966x1024.jpg 966w, https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Thieves-gift-092-edited-1-725x768.jpg 725w, https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Thieves-gift-092-edited-1-768x814.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Thieves-gift-092-edited-1-1449x1536.jpg 1449w, https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Thieves-gift-092-edited-1.jpg 1667w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-brewing-the-perfect-combination-of-automations\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><br><strong>Brewing the perfect combination of automations<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Much like perfecting a specialty blend, Thieves Coffee relies on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/fulfillment\/automation\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/fulfillment\/automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ShipStation\u2019s automation rules<\/a> to maintain smooth, efficient operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They keep their core operations lean with five coffee SKUs making up about 90% of sales, and utilize over 50 automations to streamline their fulfilment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They run 12 standard presets for all their orders based on package size, weight and shipping method. This saves warehouse staff from manually weighting, measuring and entering the dimensions of each package, equating to 60 seconds per package, or 83 hours of labor saved every month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Batch packing also enables the team to get orders out the door quicker. By filtering orders via automated tags (e.g., \u20181kg espresso bags\u2019), staff can isolate targeted order groups and print shipping labels in bulk in a few clicks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-shipstation-testimonial block not-prose\">\n    <div class=\"content-theme--light content--md\">\n        <div class=\"container not-prose\">\n                        <div class=\"testimonial-contained-bg bg-cobalt-lightest content-theme--light\">\n            \n                            <div class=\"testimonial-stack\">\n                                                    <div class=\"testimonial-item testimonial-item--align-left testimonial-item--quote-large testimonial-item--pos-side testimonial-item--img-quote\">\n                            <div class=\"testimonial-item__quote-mark\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span><\/span><\/div>\n            \n            <div class=\"testimonial-item__content\">\n                                    <div class=\"testimonial-item__quote\">\n                        <p>Automations have been a real game changer for us.
