There was an issue with the initial delivery. I contacted Vedraj in Fastway customer care and he and the delivery driver resolved the issue in a prompt and professional manner.

No way to contact the company whatsoever. Game of chance that you pay for.

Posting this review on Trustpilot as Fastway have disabled Google reviews and I feel compelled to warn others about them.

There is NO way to contact the service. I tried to determine the situation with my package. I tracked the package and it said there was an attempted delivery on the 4th and on the 6th of December but I was at the house and there was no delivery. How do I get in contact with Fastway? I have no "dedicated client number" and neither does the sender of the package. I have the tracking number available upon request. The only contact number available is invalid once you call. No customer support available, just automated response. Terrible. It's been ready for delivery apparently for about a week now.

Updated: I had to drive to the depot about half an hour away to collect my package, which was squashed. I've only used Fastway (unintentionally) twice, and both times I had to drive to the depot to physically collect my package.

Over the years have had too many issues with getting anything delivered to my home by Fastway. The last incident was twice being advised that they had tried to deliver, which was completely untrue, we did not leave our home. Another time they insisted that ours was a business address, and the premises were closed when delivery was attempted. Utter lies, residential address, eircode supplied. Not surprised to hear the news today. Sorry for the people who will lose their jobs.

They're gone bust. YES!

Well, it's not the first time I've left a negative review on this shower. As usual, never recieved the item because of them, and had to chase them down to get it a week later.

But now, SOME GOOD NEWS. Fastway ireland are to be no more. They're going out of business. YEEEEEEEEAAAHHHH! I feel sorry for some of the employees, but the company and it's directors can get stuffed.

By the way, search the words "Fastway Ireland review" in Google, and you'll see that this page is the one that comes on top, proporting that Fastway are a 4 out of 5 star company. However, keep scrolling down to the other results, and all other review listings show the real rating of this terrible company. So they are spending their money on trying to look good. But this time they've run out of road.

Good riddance, Fartway

Don't use them. Simple

What doesn't go wrong? I wouldn't even leave 1 star but I had to. Date I was affected? Too may to count. They say you weren't home when you were, they drop off anywhere they feel like. We've had our parcels left in restaurants, I the street, vets. Places we don't even go, our parcels have been left. If you contact them ONLY by email mind you, they may reply within 3 weeks. It's simple avoid them at all costs

Disgusting Parent - Receivership

Great drivers and service 95% of the time. Disgusting that the parent company pulled the rug out from under all of the employees and customers. Can no longer access the label creation platform where hundreds of euro are locked in. Doubt we will ever get that money back.
