Fastway Couriers is a courier delivery services corporation headquartered in Napier, New Zealand.[2] The company currently operates in Ireland and South Africa.[3]

The company has operated as a franchise since 1983,[4] with franchising at the regional and courier level.[5] The company was acquired by Aramex in 2016.[6][7] Aramex is in the top five of transport and logistics players globally.[8]

As part of the acquisition by Aramex, Fastway is in the transition of rebranding to Aramex in select regions such as Australia and New Zealand.

With over 7,300 1-star reviews as of May 2021, Fastway Couriers was ranked as one of the worst-reviewed courier services in Australia.[9] Despite rebranding to Aramex Australia, the service continues to receive lacklustre reviews. With over 1,100 1-star ratings as of May 2021 and an average review of 1.2 out of 5 stars, it remains one of the worst-reviewed courier services in Australia.[10]

Fastway Couriers also ranks poorly in Ireland, with approximately 80% of reviewers giving them a 1 star rating as of May 2021.[11]
