Fastway should have changed their name to SLOW AS COURIERS

published

Its been with Aramex /Fastway for a while now . Tracking a parcel is no good when its not scanned operators are useless the whole company is useless. When I buy online my message to the seller is NOT TO USE FASTWAY. But once again seller not reading message, or so they say. Fastway must be offering a cheap rate other wise why would you use them. It would have been quicker for me to drive to collect my package from 3 hr away. I really wish this company would go bankrupt .

Very slow service | Name should be Slowestway

published

I ordered a package through Ally to be delivered from Melbourne to Cairns for collection in store. Due to them using Fastway the delivery is going to take well over a week to arrive. I ordered other online items delivered through Australia Post and they were with me in 3 days from the same location. Every delivery with Fastway either takes time or I have to go and collect from the depot as they do not call when delivering for me to run down (I live in a unit complex). When I know they are the courier my heart always sinks.

Horrible service

published

Always leave a card and never deliver to the door. I always have to go and pick up my parcel for myself. Even if I'm home with the front door open. I live in Brisbane so there is absolutely no reason why delivery is not possible. Very slow, unreliable and would NOT recommend.

What a rubbish service

published

The item sent by Fastway courier is nowhere. the tracking just says that the item has been collected from the sender then nothing. Looks like a scam or a bogus company.

Fastaway worst courier service ever....!!

published

Have been waiting 4 weeks from day of ordering a bird cage from MyDeal which was dispatched from Melbourne to Sydney unfortunately they use Fastaway for their deliveries every update from Fastaway was the same "in transit " My order had been sitting in their Sydney facility for almost 4 weeks with no attempt at all to deliver at all when l contacted them about my order & complained l got a new update a day after "your order returned to supplier" with no reason or explanation at all this is a pathetic courier company & l know I'm not the only one who has had dodgy service from them.

Best 'reception' ever

published

Fastway couriers might have been bought out by Aramex.. but the service hasn't changed.
"Your parcel has been received at 'Sydney' depot" — 5 days ago. They must be giving it a fine reception, for it hasn't wanted to leave yet. It better have sobered up by the time it gets to me or I'm going to be super jealous.

Seriously though, either their tracking system is really really bad, or some deadly disease has decimated the depot's delivery dudes.

Fastway

published

Ordered an item on Ebay, had no choice with courier turned out to be Fastway. We live in Tully, item went to Cairns 150 kms away. Wouldn't deliver to Tully Post Office as they don't accept deliveries from Fastway so why is the Post Office stopping us from ordering items on line so now look at it this way, we have no rural delivery and now we can't get anything delivered to our Post office box unless it comes through Australia Post so who does the Post office think they are. I will think twice before ordering anything on line or go and get it myself

fastway is much better than XL Express

published

XL EXPRESS is a worst ONE. I was questioning why my parcel wasn't delivered. Then they were deliberately delaying your parcel arrival as long as you shut up: don't make noise!

Been 3 months and no package

I ordered through big w 3 months ago and it still says in transit. Spent over $500 and no idea if my items will even arrive. Will never order anything if this company ate the delivery option.

Absolutely useless freight handler. Two weeks to deliver a small package from Wollongong to Melbourne!

published

Ordered a spare part (the size of two matchboxes) from a Corrmial NSW warehouse to be delivered to Melbourne suburban address. The warehouse uses Fastway (now aramex) as their courier. The package was picked up from Corrmial on October 6th, and registered as being at the Wollongong regional aramex hub the same day. Even at that stage their vague delivery estimate was 14-19 October. In the end it arrived very late in the day on the 20th of October. Two weeks to get a small parcel from NSW to Melb!

Third date courier company

published

I can’t add anything more given all the terrible reviews. Subpar delivery attempts, no depot to self pick up. I am not buying from any merchant that uses them again. Both senders and buyers should boycott them!

I don't know how this courier is still in business.

published

If I had of known my order from Kogan was being delivered by fastway I would never have purchased the items I needed. Everyday the ETA of my parcel is being pushed back a couple if days. My mum also purchased from another retailer and fastway being the courier, her items never arrived at all. Not impressed. Terrible service and I cringe everytime a retailer sends me a notification to say my order has been dispatched with fastway. I refuse to purchase anything online that uses this company from now on.

Disgusting service from Fastway Aramex

published

My purchase of a double bed has not been fully delivered, even though it was received at the Sydney depot 3 weeks ago. 1 box containing the bedhead arrived a week ago, then today another box arrived with some frames. Still missing the final box, and the “customer service” people who I have called three times, can’t guarantee when I will receive it. How can 1 order arrive in three different deliveries. How hard is it to put all three boxes on the truck for 1 delivery. Absolutely appalling. How this company is able to continue to do business amazes me.

Ridiculous service

published

Been nearly 6 weeks and it still has not arrived, coming from Melbourne, took a week to get to Sydney and has been sitting around for 5 weeks. Appalling business, this is the core of how they’re in business and they can’t even manage that. Don’t use it.

4 weeks and still waiting

published

Ordered something in Melbourne on 14th Sept, which is only 42kms away. Picked up by Snailway and taken to Melbourne depot on 15th Sept. And there it sits for 4 weeks and counting. Contacted through their website (48 hours for reply). It's over a week & no reply. Cannot ring, just answer machine. Pathetic excuse for a "Courier Service". Unfortunately had to give 1 star. The item was quite urgent, now it's just, shut up & wait to see if it arrives. I never would have placed the order if I new they used "Fastway". I have never had a good experience with these clowns. I can't believe they actually charge for this non existant service
