Fastway couriers or Austpost?

[j0wie]

Hi All,

I am open to all opinons. I am trying to do some research before becoming a seller. Do i have to use AustPost, or can I use Fastway couriers as soon as I start up - because i've read about having to meet min. weekly deliveries.

I've seen older post back in 2013-2014 in regards to fastway couriers services. Have they improved for people since?

Do they easily deliver on time for customers nationally?

Thank you in advance.

I'm sure the OP has probably sorted out how they will post already. After all, it has been 17 MONTHS since they asked for advice.

Yes, but it's only been TEN months since you said this.

I would be interested to know what your point is.

That I posted noting the age of the thread 10 months ago? Or that the thread is now 27 months old? Or that you have no point (my guess)?

Yes.  3)

I liked the irony / asburdity of making a reply to a reply you made ten months ago, about someone talking about someone replying to something someone had said seventeen months before that, in real time. Now in another eight months, when this thread becomes active again, someone can reply to me eight months ago replying to you ten months before that, making a point about someone replying to someone else seventeen months before that.  Or something.

for others reading this post i use smartsend, cheaper than aust post and pick up at your door

SmartSend is a courier broker who use a lot of different couriers, including Fastway.

You have no way of knowing who will ultimately deliver your parcels.

I use Aust. post as I find them easy and fairly reliable to use.

I wanted to send a vacuum cleaner to someone and tried to send with Sendle but they said it was too big for them. So if your items are as large as that you might want to pick someone else.

as a buyer I think i've only had a couple of experiences with couriers - and they apparently have a problem with delivering to a PO Box (which I use as I live in the bush).

No courier company can deliver to a PO Box except StarTrack which is owned by Australia Post.
