What Fast Express does

Fast Express, legally M.E.G.İNŞ.TUR.SAN.VE TİC.LTD.ŞTİ, is a Turkey-based international freight forwarder incorporated as a limited liability company and operating continuously since 2002. The company provides air, road, sea, and intermodal cargo services from Turkey to destinations in 200+ countries, targeting import/export companies as its primary segment, with individual consumers and e-commerce businesses as secondary segments. Service breadth spans four primary lines — international cargo shipping, express air cargo, economical cargo, and document shipping — supplemented by add-on modules including cash-on-delivery (Karşı Ödemeli Servis), real-time tracking, European LTL road freight, and dry-ice cold-chain shipping for frozen food.

The underlying platform is a web-based freight management system that supports online shipment creation, desi-based volumetric pricing (dimensions divided by 5,000), real-time tracking, and registered corporate accounts. No public or partner-facing API is offered. Air freight capacity is sourced through a core partnership with Turkish Airlines Cargo (THY Kargo), with international last-mile and intercontinental forwarding delivered via integrations with global courier networks including DHL, UPS, and FedEx. Customer interaction is supported through a direct-to-consumer website, multiple call-center numbers in Istanbul (0212) and Izmir (0232), and a WhatsApp business channel.

The revenue model is built on per-shipment transaction fees, with additional income from customs documentation services and optional cargo insurance. Pricing is structured as pay-as-you-go unit pricing across express, economic, airport-delivery, and door-to-door tiers. Go-to-market combines direct online self-service with phone-based inside sales and a contracted partner agency network throughout Turkey for drop-off and pickup. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.

Direct peers

• Yurtiçi Kargo: One of the largest Turkish domestic and international parcel/courier companies. Directly comparable to Fast Express as a Turkish-based multi-modal forwarder serving SMB and individual shippers, though at significantly larger scale.
• Sürat Kargo: Turkish courier specializing in express parcel and e-commerce fulfillment. Comparable to Fast Express on SMB/e-commerce target customers and express delivery focus, with stronger e-commerce platform integrations.
• MNG Kargo: Major Turkish parcel and cargo courier with extensive domestic and international network. Comparable to Fast Express on customer profile (SMB + e-commerce) and on the multi-modal express/economic offering, though with broader scale and own fleet.
• Aras Kargo: Turkish courier and freight company providing domestic and international shipping. Similar to Fast Express in serving e-commerce shippers and individual customers with tiered express/economy parcel services out of Turkey.

Emerging players

• HepsiJet: Logistics arm of Hepsiburada, one of Turkey's largest e-commerce platforms. Competes with Fast Express for cross-border e-commerce parcel volume out of Turkey and offers integrated shipping technology; differs as an e-commerce-first digital carrier.

Regional players

• Netlog Lojistik: Turkish logistics provider offering international freight forwarding, road, and intermodal services. Comparable to Fast Express as a Turkey-based multi-modal forwarder, but with stronger road freight and contract logistics focus rather than SMB parcel.

Broad incumbents

• DHL Express Turkey: Global integrator providing international express, freight, and supply-chain services in Turkey. Directly competes with Fast Express on time-definite international air cargo, but operates at vastly larger scale with own aircraft and hubs.
• PTT Kargo (Turkish Post): State-owned Turkish postal service offering domestic and international parcel/cargo services. Comparable on international shipping scope and broad geographic coverage, but with much larger scale, network, and government backing versus Fast Express.
• FedEx Turkey: Global integrator providing international express and freight services in Turkey. Comparable on international air express corridor offerings and is also a wholesale capacity provider for Fast Express; much larger scale and broader service portfolio.
• UPS Turkey: Global parcel and freight integrator operating in Turkey. Overlaps with Fast Express on international express parcel forwarding (and is one of Fast Express's own wholesale partners), but with substantially larger scale and B2B infrastructure.
