At Aramex Australia our couriers are really going places. With 29 regional franchises and more than 900 courier franchisees, our network reaches from Cairns to Sydney and almost everywhere in between.

We offer competitive prices and reliable, scheduled courier services. Our delivery systems are backed up by the latest technology and real-time track and trace facilities making Aramex Australia the delivery partner of choice for businesses of all sizes. With easy integrations to leading e-commerce sites, our online delivery portal makes sending easy for thousands of online Australian businesses.

Aramex Australia pioneered Blu Couriers, the largest crowdsourced delivery model in Aus. Parcel Connect is another of our innovative brands, offering flexibility and convenience to customers through a network of more than 800 agents across Aus. We offer customers the option to collect their parcels when it suits them, from locations including newsagents and convenience stores.

Now part of leading global transport and logistics company, Aramex, our heritage is firmly rooted in the local community. In 1983, New Zealander Bill McGowan saw a market for a locally owned and operated courier company to provide reliable courier services to businesses in the Hawke’s Bay region. With a passion for freight and logistics and a ‘delight the customer at the door’ mentality, the Fastway Couriers brand was born. Ten years later, Fastway Couriers expanded to Aus.

In 2016, Fastway Couriers became part of the Aramex family, a leading global provider of comprehensive logistics and transportation solutions based in Jordan. Operating in 65 countries and delivering to 220 countries around the world, Aramex employs close to 16,000 people.

In 2019 we underwent a complete re-brand making the transition from Fastway Couriers to Aramex Australia officially. We still offer the same friendly, local service, plus a wide range of global opportunities for all customers.
