I've never used fastways so can't comment on their service but would it not be possible for you guys to go and pick your parcels up from the depot? Surely it's better for you to make the effort to pick up the animals than leave them and hope they arrive alive on Monday.

I am waiting for the guy who I bought the animal from to sort this one out! I am his customer and he must know that they are not licensed

I cant believe they are still doing this after their head office was contacted a few months back and a group of people made major complaints.

I think its time someone reported them to a depeartment with some juristiction to fine them...

when you do collect your animals KEEP the boxes take photographs and complain to their head office.. or bypass that altogether and just make a formal complaint to whoever can fine the idiots of close them down.

To be honest, a call to the welfare in transport team maybe called for.

Not against the seller, as he may well have been dupted , but fastways know the score and are blantantly flouting the law.
