My second shipment with Forward2Me from…
My second shipment with Forward2Me from Japan to the UK.
Forward2Me offer such a useful service. In this instance i was buying Pilot pens and inks from Amazon.co.jp. Amazon Japan wont ship these direct to the UK, little wonder since they are 1/4 to 1/3 of the the price they are selling at on Amazon.co.uk…
There was a short delay because Forward2Me had so many repack orders in the queue ahead of me. I was kept posted of my orders progress through the queue, which took several days. Then the usual really fast delivery from DHL. The parcel was booked in with them on Saturday early morning in Tokyo, and arrived at my house in Wales near lunchtime on Monday.
Of course it is not just for Amazon. I can now buy from other smaller retailers who wont ship outside of Japan.
Next on the list will be some of the excellent Vessel screwdrivers at a fraction of the price they are in the UK.
For a little history: on my first order using Forward2Me there was a problem with the paperwork and DHL rejected the shipment. You can see my other review where I discuss that, and how Forward2Me resolved it. For this delivery I reached out to customer services when I created the order. Jus picked up the request and oversaw the order process to make sure we did not have a repeat of the initial paperwork mix up. Jus, a warm thank you from me.
