DISGRACEFUL! WORST FREIGHT COMPANY IN AUSTRALIA
There should be an option for NO STARS! Well, if this isn't a sorry excuse for a Company! You firstly need to start by renaming your business as you are anything but fast. I sent a parcel from Northern Rivers Depot on 23rd January, onboard for delivery in Melbourne 25 January. (Melbourne, your worst depot by sheer review and you should be embarrassed and close it down). The parcel never arrived, no calling card, nothing, no uploads of status on the tracking. Just pure negligence. Still not delivered today the 29th. As explained to your extremely rude Melbourne staff, the package contains clothes and school items for my daughters 1st day at school tomorrow. It also contains her specialised asthma / heart condition prescription. She had enough for her travel Melbourne and a couple of days. I was told it would be escalated for possible delivery this afternoon. News for you. The depot have no intention on delivering it today. Your staff say they spoke to the driver who said no one was home on 25th Jan. Well he must either be a foreigner who cannot read English or is illiterate and cannot read. There were 2 very clear notices on the parcel saying it was to be left on the front veranda if no one was home! Your staff could not respond to this. They could also not advise why he did not deliver it this morning when the parties have been watching and waiting for the delivery and your stupid tracking says there is something wrong and it can’t be delivered. That is a crock. Even your staff were able to advise the address and IT IS CORRECT and the parcel also has very clear instructions that the street is one block down from Glen Iris train station. Honestly, children could do a better job of running this depot. Given that this is a very urgent parcel, I requested your staff, having failed to deliver within your standards, to put the box in a taxi and deliver it. "Bres" responded we are not allowed to do that BUT, did not ask anyone. I asked her to convey my request to the manager, given failure to meet the service standard and she said she would not pass on this request! I Have spoken to the Melbourne depot twice and requested a call back. I am still waiting. I asked for a phone number for head Office to talk to someone and the "Bres" refused to provide this. Instead she "blind transferred" me to the Northern Rivers Depot which IS NOT where the problem is. I am lodging a complaint with Department of Fair Trading today and also stolen goods report with the Police if the item is not delivered today. I will do so by virtue of your refusal to deliver and deliberate actions in retaining my parcel that I sent via Fastway in good faith
