It's probably a bit late now, as you've probably already sent it, however, the last rifle I had sent to me by Fastway, well, I went in the following day, to pick the thing up, and they told me (in typical Fastway fashion) that it hadn't arrived yet! :( Keeping an eye out on their website, using the track and trace facility (which incidentally isn't worth a knob of goat sh%t) I was able to see that it was in transit, and coming up from the South. :) The next day, I went to my local depot 'again' to pick it up, only to see pandemonium, with the local guys saying there's been a truck crash just North of town from one of their trucks coming from the North.
Breathing a sigh of relief, safe in the knowledge that my $7,000 approx. rifle build was in the freight coming up from the South, I said ok, however, mine's coming up from the South, the tracking number told me so... :D to which they assured me in the most strongest possible terms that NO, it's on the truck that's come off the road and into the ditch! :( :Wtfsmilie: :omg: and all the rest associated with it!
What had happened is Fastway took it in a totally different direction and, instead of me getting it the following day, like I should have, it toured half way round the South Island 'literally'! Then, it got put on the truck that come to grief! They then just write any 'sh%t' in their track and trace simply to keep the customer happy!
Whilst I have had packages (including rifles) ferried safely by Fastway before, I must say that the one courier that I've overwhelmingly had the most problems with 'is' FASTWAY!... MORE than all the other's put together, in fact, sometimes I won't even do business with you if you're intent on sending it FASTWAY!
