Returning Customer - 12 Times
I’ve used Forward2Me around 12 times now, mainly to ship pre-loved clothing from the UK. My earlier shipments were very straightforward, and I was able to use the more affordable F2M Lite or Cross Border services without any issues.
However, during my last four shipments, my parcels were repeatedly marked as requiring “Combine & Repack” before I could proceed. This was confusing because the items were simply pre-loved dresses and tops shipped in standard rectangular parcel bags. Repacking would have incurred additional charges, and the courier options offered afterwards (DHL, FedEx, UPS, etc.) often cost more than the items themselves.
As a result, I had to contact Customer Support each time. To be fair, every customer service representative I spoke with was able to review the shipment and remove the Combine & Repack requirement, allowing me to choose and pay for postage myself.
That said, I want to give special recognition to Aimee. She went above and beyond compared to my previous experiences. Instead of simply advising me on the next steps, she personally handled everything on her end and resolved the issue quickly. All I had to do was pay the invoice. The process was seamless and saved me a lot of time and hassle.
While I would appreciate more consistency regarding how parcels are assessed for Combine & Repack, the excellent customer service I received from Aimee made a significant difference. If all customer interactions were like this, using Forward2Me would be much easier and more enjoyable.
That said I would still use their service since I already trust their brand and finding a different company requires trial and error.
