About Fastway
Fastway Couriers has been a well-known name in parcel delivery across Ireland and Northern Ireland since launching in 2002. The company grew to become one of Ireland’s largest courier networks, handling over 25 million parcels each year through its 20 regional depots.
Fastway built its reputation on convenience, cost-efficiency, and local expertise, serving both individuals and small businesses nationwide. For many years, it was recognised for offering affordable parcel delivery options with a strong community focus.
However, as of 30 October 2025, Fastway Couriers Ireland entered receivership, resulting in widespread disruption to parcel collections and deliveries. This means Fastway services and tracking are currently unavailable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why has Fastway Couriers Ireland stopped operating?
Fastway Couriers Ireland entered receivership on 30 October 2025 following ongoing financial difficulties. This has led to the suspension of parcel collections, deliveries, and tracking updates across the country. You can read more in Business Mole’s article on the closure.
Can I still track a parcel sent with Fastway?
Unfortunately, Fastway tracking services are no longer active, meaning live updates are unavailable. If your parcel hasn’t arrived, contact the sender or retailer directly and they’ll be able to advise on the next steps or arrange an alternative delivery.
What should I do if my parcel was delayed or lost with Fastway?
If your delivery hasn’t arrived, we recommend contacting the retailer or seller first. They can check whether the parcel was dispatched before Fastway’s receivership or if it needs to be resent via another courier. For new shipments, you can rebook securely through Parcel2Go using our Quick Quote tool.
Can I still send parcels in Ireland despite Fastway’s closure?
Absolutely. Parcel2Go continues to offer reliable domestic and international delivery through trusted courier partners. Simply enter your parcel details into our Quick Quote tool to find the best available services and keep your parcels moving without interruption.
Can I get a refund for a Fastway delivery I paid for?
If you booked your Fastway delivery through another platform or retailer, you should contact them directly to request a refund or credit. Unfortunately, refunds are not being processed by Fastway due to their receivership status. Customers who booked via Parcel2Go can contact our Customer Support Team for guidance on alternative arrangements.
