Fastway Couriers
Franchise-model courier with a satchel pricing system that beats most door-to-door rates for small parcels.
Fastway Couriers operates a franchise network across South Africa — local franchisees own their territory and pickups, while the inter-regional linehaul moves through a central trunk. The headline pricing model is the pre-paid satchel: you buy a fixed-size satchel, anything that fits and is under the weight limit ships at the satchel price.
This is genuinely cheap for small parcels — Fastway is often the lowest live rate on the DeliverAI comparison for sub-2kg shipments. The trade-off is that satchels constrain dimensions, and rural service quality varies by franchise area. Larger or non-standard parcels move on parcel rates which are competitive but less aggressive than the satchel.
Fastway is now part of the Aramex SA group but operates as a separate retail brand.
