    How often do you find yourself looking at a deliciously wrapped package destined for overseas, and wonder how you’re going to get it to its intended human?

    Perhaps not that often, because the slow death of South Africa’s postal service has put a damper on ideas of spoiling those far away.  Now it’s just about turning to Facebook’s ‘On this Day’ reminders to connect with that friend or family member who left for greener pastures, or you send out the plea asking if anyone happens to be flying there and has space in their bag.

    People love playing the role of your personal courier service. Who doesn’t want to cart your stuff halfway across the world because you went to the same school and haven’t spoken in four years?

    Don’t be that person. Come now.

    How about this for a solution that doesn’t involve your friends calling you names behind your back? It’s called FastVan, and is an app that allows you to conveniently choose the perfect courier service, no matter where in the world your destination is, local or international.

    That glitter-filled letter that needs to get to Perth for your girl’s birthday next week? Done.

    How about that box of reminders for your old tjommie in Argentina? Done.

    Using the app, you punch in a range of specifics – what, where, when, how and who – and in return it offers you the best available option for shipping it.

    Then, you upload a photograph of your parcel and track it like an Uber (amazing) all the way to its intended destination.

    Fun, hey?

    The best part is that FastVan is a South African start-up that has entered a marketplace based on the freedom of markets, meaning they do not set the prices themselves, and do not choose the provider you will contract with.

    It’s all up to you and what suits your needs (and pocket).

    You can choose the best of the best for your parcels, whether it’s a letter or a warehouse full of goods, suited to your price point, all with the assistance of FastVan.

    Find it on the App Store, Google Play Store and web-based platform. Go on, give it a bash.
