Very poor tracking and delivery times
Has been 10 days from Sydney to Perth and still not here. Tracking is not to standard
Would use other services if available. On a previous delivery they gave me the option to pick it up from depot where it had been for 2 days awaiting delivery.
Item has arrived after 10 days. Tracking had it as still on way. An "On board for delivery" notification would be handy.

I left instructions to place a food product in a plastic box and it was ignored
I expect instructions to leave in a safe place to be followed. I go to the trouble to leave a weather proof box on my porch for perishables. The courier can't be bothered and leaves the product where it can be damaged by water and dirt can get to it. Really really annoyed - I feel like throwing the product in the bin and cancelling my order with the vendor

Horrible company
They leave the parcels to collection points even though I am at home.
They don't leave calling cards and it is always a hustle to collect your item without the calling card from the collection point.
I wish and hope that this company goes belly up asap.

Slow Delivery
Slow and their tracking has not enough info to tell you where exactly the package is and even their staff could not tell me where it was but it did turn up ok.
Thanks for the feedback, Paul.

Parcel delivered but the customer service is below par
My parcel shipped from Sydney and I received notification from Groupon that item has dispatched with a tracking number using Fastway. In the next two days, I had no further notification and logged into Fastway portal; the information stated Package was running late due to extra traffic. I can understand that there are situations when things get behind schedule, but if I don't log in to your portal and search information, then there is no clue for me what happened to my parcel. On the day of delivery no upfront information, the delivery boy turn...
Read mores up in the afternoon and delivers the Package, luckily I was home. I got my parcel, but now most of the delivery services keep the customer up to date with information.SMS or email with the status update is a norm, and this rating is for uncertainty in the timing of delivery. The Package was in good condition and delivered in 4 days from Sydney to Melbourne with which I am happy.We thank you for your feedback as we consider all to be valuable.
Hit and miss
One parcel was said to be delivered but never arrived, no note left for me to follow up to collect. Time I tracked it down it was sent back to sender.
Next parcel I was kept up to date with sms tracking number, no problems. delivered on time.
Hi there, I am sorry to hear of the initial issues with delivery but am glad to hear that the end result was positive. Thank you for taking the time to review.

Late, but no issues. Driver GPS tracking is cool
It took 3 weeks to get a small package from Sydney to Perth. Tracking during transit was suspect at best, no details at all, and it really made no sense. It arrived a week later than they said it would, but at least they apologized via Email saying it was going to be a few days late. However, unlike many of the reviews here, it did arrive on the day they said it was out for delivery. Got an email in the morning saying it was coming, turned up in a few hours. I was actually quite impressed with the delivery - I was able to find the live GPS trac...
Read moreked location of the driver through Fastways tracking website. It was just like watching my uber. Interesting how they work, as the delivery came from someone not in uniform and just in their own personal Toyota Camry, and I could see he was using a phone app to make the delivery. The back seat was full of a pile of packages. He dug through it until he found mine. It literally looked/felt just like an uber eats delivery or something. Fastway is clearly a budget shipping option, would not recommend, but if you find yourself having to receive a package from them, it seems like the trick is to make 100% certain you are home and watching for the driver using the GPS system they have, or just be willing to go to the depot to pick up the package.- 2 reviews
Quick delivery, but dropped off at wrong parcel point
Fastway delivered the package within three business days, which was pretty good considering it was interstate. Unfortunately I wasn't home so they left a calling card.
When I looked up which parcel point I needed to go to to pick up my package, I discovered they had delivered it to an inconvenient location.
The location was a 20 minute drive away from my house, and probably double the time if I had needed to rely on public transport. There are at least 5 parcel points that would have been more convenient for me.
Fragile package received in good condition.
Had it been dropped off at a better location I would give 5 stars.
Hi Chris, thank you for reaching out and we're sorry to hear of the difficulties you experienced during your delivery. We will be passing on your feedback to ensure we can provide a more convenient service for all. Regards, the Fastway Team.

Good service could be better
Bought a bunch of stuff from USA and the sender uses Fastway for domestic delivery, after customs clearance was notified Fastway took over and will deliver to me. Two weeks later still waiting for delivery. I contacted them via online inquiry but no reponse. So items most likely stolen plus tracking shows only IN TRANSIT.
Hi there,
Please accept our sincere apologies for such a problematic experience.
Late but got it.
Even though it took over half a month for something to come from Queenesland to Perth, plus it came nearly a week late. I had it sent to a parcel delivery point and picked it up no worries.
Thank you for the feedback!
surprised
I ordered a sofa cover on ebay and was a bit concerned after reading the reviews. My parcel arrived early so I was very happy with that however the main office is a call center and they gave me the wrong information. Ring your local depot
Thank you for the feedback Heather.

Some improvement
After a few bad experiences with Fastway, i dreaded the outcome when i discovered that an item i ordered on Ebay was being delivered by Fastway. Well, surprise, surprise...the item arrived at their depot on time. I still had to collect it though. I live four km from my towns CBD, and all other couriers deliver to my door. Woolworths and Red Rooster will deliver, so why not Fastway?
We’re always looking for ways to boost our customer service. I apologize for the lack of satisfaction gained from using Fastway Couriers

Absolutely NO customer service BUT I managed to gain a VIP number and after 4 calls a nice lady answered the call and was vey helpful after I told them I was to take contact with Amazon USA and AU
a complaint has been made to Amazon seeking NOT to use them as they are bad for any business
the only place for Fastway and the new coat of paint Amarex is the Federal Court of Australia for Prohibited Trades Practices penalties
best advice DO NOT USE THEM and if the company you are purchasing uses them find another seller who uses somebody else
and be careful when agitated asians who deliver come calling at your premises and abuse you which just happened to me today
this asian guy damaged my front gate with his car door, yes a car door and not a designated Fastway vehicle and then stated it was too hot to deliver / blamed the weather and it gets better he tells lies that he actually attempted to deliver and when. he was confronted that he was no where near the property and CCTV never captured him, his story again changed
the better this show is shut down and the executives held accountable for misleading and deceptive conduct and unconscionable conduct in a court of law
After receiving everything from Australia Post, everything sent via fastway is delayed or not even sent out yet...
fastway is unreliable, slow and don't answer your questions, stick with Auspost
