Looks like that's the end of Sendle? Bit of a shame, they were very convenient for sending small parcels. Couriers on the whole are a pain in the proverbial to deal with normally.
Summary:
Last-mile delivery provider FAST Group, formed through the August 2025 merger of Sendle, FirstMile, and ACI Logistix, is currently facing a severe financial crisis that has led its primary private equity backer, Sydney-based Federation Asset Management, to freeze its $100 million investment fund. Just months after the merger intended to create a logistics powerhouse, the entity is reportedly struggling with significant financial red flags and "due diligence lapses" that have brought it to the brink of a potential U.S. bankruptcy filing. The meltdown has raised serious concerns regarding the firm's risk management and the stability of its underlying assets, leaving the future of the e-commerce logistics venture in doubt as it seeks urgent financing to avoid a total collapse.
