You might not really know a whole lot about moving packages.

South Africa’s postal service has been going through a bit of a rough time, proving ‘quite’ unreliable at times. So when you have to move that all-important letter, or that stack of parcels that just can’t go missing, it’s little wonder you find yourself a little reluctant to rely on the SA Postal Service

But which private courier service is the best option?

Well, some genius put together an app that allows you to choose the perfect courier service for your immediate needs.

Amazing.

The new app, called Fastvan, allows you to select from a range of features depending on your requirements: what, where, when, how and who.

From one letter, right through to a warehouse full of goodies, they got you sorted.

And there are a whole lot of other features that give the app a leg up in the game.

You can upload a photograph of your parcel(s), track your truck of choice like an Uber (amazing), and you get to book more than one service at any given time.

Boom. That’s how local service delivery is made easy.

Leaving the best part for last, here’s the real reason why FastVan is so different from any other app of its type:

An SE start-up, Fastvan has entered a marketplace which is based on the freedom of markets meaning they do not set the prices themselves and do not choose the provider you will contract with.

That means you can choose the best of the best for your deliveries, suited to your price point, all with the assistance of the app.

The app is available on the App Store, Google Play Store and web-based platform.

Oh, happy days.
