Fastway believes in making the process of using a courier service easy, comfortable and convenient for its customers and delivers on that promise. Thanks to the dedication of its franchise partners and their ongoing commitment to provide an unrivalled level of customer care for more than 15 million parcels that are moved each and every year.
Fastway Couriers has simplified its processes to accommodate its customers’ requests for redelivery. For example; for standard signature service in the receive r’s absence, a calling card is left.
This form gives the receiver all the information required to arrange either a redelivery to the receiver’s address, redelivery to another specified address or authority to leave the freight at a secure location on their premises. Current industry practice is to attempt a single delivery and non-delivery results in the item returning to base for receiver pickup.
Fastway Couriers maximum package length allowed is 2.4m
Maximum package length for rural delivery is 1.5m
Maximum dead weight is 25kg
Maximum cubic weight is 0.15m3 (x 200 = 30kg)
Fastway Courier’s delivery standard is 98.7 % nationwide on average, and for June 2015 was 98.9% Delivered In Full On Time
