Aramex AU (Fastway) + ReturnMate
Aramex Australia (the rebranded Fastway Couriers franchise network) covers most metropolitan and regional zones with competitive parcel pricing, making it a genuine domestic alternative to Australia Post. ReturnMate connects to the myFastway API for consignment creation, label generation, quoting, and tracking on your Aramex AU account. Newly released in Beta.

Where it earns its place.
AU merchant alternative to AusPost
Where AusPost is the wrong fit — size limits, price, or service area — Aramex AU's franchise network covers most metro and regional zones at competitive rates, quoted live per shipment.
Regular driver pickup accounts
Aramex AU accounts run on scheduled driver pickup from the merchant's premises, which suits outbound replacement and repair-return flows without per-shipment booking.
Cost-controlled returns
The quote endpoint prices each return before the label is committed, so restocking-fee and label-cost deductions stay accurate.
How Aramex AU (Fastway) gets connected.
Carrier accounts are set up by our team, not by you. We contact Aramex AU (Fastway) directly, obtain API access against your existing commercial account, and apply it — so you never have to source or handle API credentials.
- You send us three things
Your existing Aramex AU (Fastway) account number, written authority for ReturnMate to contact them on your behalf, and your account manager's name, email and phone number.
- We contact Aramex AU (Fastway)
Our support team requests API access against your account and handles the paperwork and technical back-and-forth with the carrier.
- We apply the credentials
Credentials are stored encrypted against your shop. They are never shown to you and never need to be — there is nothing for you to paste or maintain.
- We test it end to end
We generate a test label — including the dangerous goods transport document where it applies — and confirm it works before the carrier goes live for your team.
Turnaround varies by carrier, depending on how quickly they issue API access. Support confirms the expected timeline for Aramex AU (Fastway) when you start onboarding. Don't have an account with them yet? We can help you set one up.
Questions about Aramex AU (Fastway).
Is this the same as the global Aramex integration?
No. Aramex Australia runs on the myFastway platform — a completely different API from the global Aramex Shipping Services network. If you need cross-border MENA/APAC coverage, that's the separate Aramex integration; this one is AU domestic.
How are return pickups handled?
myFastway has no per-shipment pickup-booking endpoint — consignments originate from your registered address, so customer returns are generated as drop-off labels addressed to your warehouse, and driver collection runs on your regular account schedule.
Does Aramex AU support dangerous goods?
No — DG-flagged SKUs are automatically routed to TNT or StarTrack and Aramex AU is blocked for those shipments.
