Default failway couriers

Usually i try and ensure that a decent courier is used where possible. I brought a radiator from car mods australia, and they told they would use tnt (good courier imo) and it would be 2, 3 days, 4 tops - so i accepted it and payed for the radiator, as i needed it urgently for my car. that was more than two weeks ago, and thanks to 'fastway couriers' my radiator still isn't even in perth. i was told a week ago that there were delays at the airport, sat on the phone again for half an hour at uni today, as caller number 1 (the most frustrating insurance's that you will be next, ive ever heard) until a rude lady answered the phone. apparently there has been a train accident, in which my radiator isn't damaged, but there will be further delays. now they are definitely fucking with me, and should be named and shamed - avoid if at all possible, Ive heard a few stories about them, and they have never been good.

Or am i just the unluckiest guy on the planet? what did i do to upset the gods?

tnt are overrated, they lost a box of ipad's shipped to my workplace!
Australian Air Express are super fast and Air Road are also pretty good.
Fastway shall be renamed Slow-way

LOL @ TNT being reliable/good.

^^ AAE are owned by Qantas and charge crackpipe amounts for domestic Airfreight... use somebody like Startrack.

+1 for Startrack with day to day goods. Everyone has their issues but Startrack have looked after us since we switched to them.

I can reccomend for larger items (Pallets) a company called Mainfreight. Very good domestic road service (Express).. Online tracking/POD's and very competitive rates.

It's occasionally hit and miss with all the major carriers. They all have their moments.
I used AAE to get a parcel from Ossy park to the souther Perth suburbs. It took a week.
Most times though its as good as overnight.
