    I ordered a charger on eBay and the description says they send through Auspost, but then the tracking number didn’t work so I asked and they told me it’s coming through “PF logistics/Fastway”. I thought that, a. Fastway was Aramex now, and b PF logistics was a different company. But whatever the case, may God have mercy on my charger

      PF logistics was the company that my very slow package of ribbon came through. It got here in the end, but well past the time-frame of when it was supposed to.

        I’m pretty sure I’ve had something come through them before, but truthfully I don’t understand how any of those private courier companies are in any way better than just sending through normal Auspost. I feel like I’ve heard way more bad things about just about every other Fourier service than Auspost

        I think the only time I’ve preferred a non Auspost delivery is when I get to choose a day and time for delivery. I don’t know who they use, but officeworks do that and I quite like that I can choose an exact date and time, and I know it will be here on that day

          I’m pretty sure Officeworks have their own delivery drivers. That’s also why they can use less packaging, they can ensure their drivers move the parcels like a normal person instead of using them to play football with.

      Offer a prayer to the divine beings that your charger will get through this turbulent time.

      Fastway…… yuck
