>Fastway leaves … companies unable to trace parcels
Yes, thats what Fastway does yes. Nothing to see here.
In seriousness, I hope the staff get what’s due to them.
There appears to be nothing new in this article that we didn’t know a few days ago.
That kind of closure tends to be brutal as it’ll come down to a technicality in finance at which point everything stops and then you’re into the legal mess of creditors and priorities.
I don’t think the law as it stands really is adequate in some of these situations. It’s not just an Irish thing ether, you see similar in the UK and US — legal systems are similar when it comes to financial and contractual stuff.
The parcels are gone and the money is gone. They are wasting their time
I feel bad for employees, but I don’t really feel badly for any of the companies that lost packages, and got stung by the Fastway closure. They choose the cheapest and worst option for their customers and now they’re paying a price. And I’m sure not one of them could possibly claim to not know how bad they were, I’m sure their customers were repeatedly telling them.
The franchise arm of Fastway always seemed to me to be extremely ropey. I suspect some franchise owners could potentially be tens thousands out of pocket if initial costs of purchasing routes was not recovered. They are also self employed so not entirely sure they will get much.
It seems to be handled extremely poorly also, I am sure another operator could have potentially took over and helped save some jobs?
We were with Fastway years ago. 3 years ago or so.
They were brutal. The amount of phone calls we received by customers chasing their stuff.
But we kept with them as they were, cheap, like the budgie.
We literally had enough one day anyway and left to go to DPD.
We had 4 „managers“ call from Fastway to try and get is back. No sign of these fellas anytime during our contract with them.
With DPD now.
DPD are, not without a few issues obviously, but for me, are the best courier service in Ireland. We ship today and they get next day. Great setup.
My two cents anyway…….
Jesus, Aliexpress and Temu are going to be processing a lot of refunds over this.
Company goes out of business because of long history of terrible service. Shocked! Seriously do many will pick up work from other delivery service. Hopefully they don’t bring the same shoddy delivery practices with them that Fastway found acceptable.
I completely empathise with the workers but that company was doomed with how inept it was, which is also partially due to how bad some of their delivery drivers are/were so idk it’s a tough one.
It they did a decent job people would be using them
Is that not just a regular delivery by them? Lol
But fuck them completely for fucking over the staff. I hope our taxes get those people paid ASAP and the government fucking hound the directors and get the money back or blacklist everyone at a management level from ever owning or running a business again
Have they tried looking in the bushes?
