The company has operated as a franchise model since 1983,[4] with franchising at the regional and courier level.[5] The company was acquired by Aramex in 2016.[6][7]

As part of the acquisition by Aramex, Fastway has been rebranded to Aramex in Australia and New Zealand.

With over 7,300 1-star reviews as of May 2021, Fastway Couriers was ranked as one of the worst-reviewed courier services in Australia.[8] Despite rebranding to Aramex Australia, the service continues to receive lacklustre reviews. With over 1,100 1-star ratings as of May 2021 and an average review of 1.2 out of 5 stars, it remains one of the worst-reviewed courier services in Australia.[9]

Additionally, Fastway Couriers also currently rates poorly in Ireland, with approximately 80% of reviewers giving them a 1 star rating as of May 2021.[10]
