Customer Reviews
Nothing is more important than the trust between us and our customers. Below you can find recent feedback from real people who have used our parcel forwarding service. We made this page in order to be transparent about what our customers are saying. We hope you find it useful!
Filters are defaulted to show Verified Reviews Only because we know these reviews are real. You can change filters to look at All Reviews but we can not be certain all these reviews are from real customers.
forward2me has no control over the feedback on this page unless it is abusive or defamatory - in which case the review platform typically removes it. Every review is shown unedited and in full.

Requesting consolidation won’t actually consolidate your packages - most if the time they claim there is no point in consolidating and auto cancel the request, even though 10 boxes can be made into two.
They don’t package your goods properly, most of my stuff was damaged in transit because of the poor packaging.

Great service. Never had an issue with any of the services proposed. Don' t get me wrong... Its expensive to ship to my country. I do recommend them to find a solution for smaller packages as most of the time prices seem too much for a package if a few grams. Other than that i am satisfied with services and interactions with the staff also. Cheers guys.
Hi Kervin.
Many thanks for your feedback.
We are pleased to hear that overall you are satisfied with the service that we offer for our customers.
We understand that everyone is facing financially challenging times worldwide and the fluctuating fuel surcharge rates with each courier service are causing increases in the overall shipping prices we are currently offering. Some courier companies review their fuel surcharges once a month and others review and amend the fuel surcharges on a weekly basis and the courier services' are also having to apply additional emergency surcharge fees in relation to COVID restrictions from country to country.
We apologize for any inconvenience or difficulties this may be causing all of our customer's.
I hope the information I have provided to you is useful and please do not hesitate to get back in touch if you do have any
further questions or concerns.
Kind Regards
Hayley

I would recommend forward2me. I have a fantastic book about the abacus that I wouldn’t be able to obtain because the seller wouldn’t ship outside of Japan. I have not seen this book anywhere else. I now am motivated to learn the Japanese language. I’ll start with OCR/machine translation but I really am interested to learn at least reading and writing. This would not be except for forward2me. One more comment. The book arrived FAST. I am pleased.

I was super worried at first since what I had ordered was a pre-order that was a long way out, and making sure I'd be on top of everything, being unsure how it would 100% get to the right place and attributed to me. I had some contact with customer service and they explained fully how it would be under my account, and when my package showed up it was super easy to get everything on it's way to me! Very happy with the ease of it all and the low fees for a proxy service!

Was forced to have the package re-packed, this added delay and minimal reduction in size. Was promised a choice of shipping companies, but was forced to use FedEx Express at a a very high cost.
Hi there.
Many thanks for your feedback.
I am sorry that you feel dissatisfied with the shipping rate that was offered to you from our UK warehouse.
We understand that everyone is facing financially challenging times worldwide and the fluctuating fuel surcharge rates with each courier service are causing increases in the overall shipping prices we are currently offering. Some courier companies review their fuel surcharges once a month and others review and amend the fuel surcharges on a weekly basis and the courier services' are also having to apply additional emergency surcharge fees in relation to COVID restrictions from country to country.
We apologize for any inconvenience or difficulties this may be causing all of our customer's.
I can see that your package was marked as requiring a a combine and repack service prior to shipping. The concept of the combine and repack service would usually refer to removing or reducing as much unnecessary excess space or voids in order to consolidate as many times together as one piece to reduce as much volumetric weight as possible but this would be dependant on the type of items being repacked. Because your package was containing fragile car parts your package would have been assessed and carried for safety purposes rather than to reduce excess volume and this does not always guarantee potential savings on the original shipping costs. Furthermore because you had chosen the FedEx courier service for the combine and repack service from your account this would have been the only available courier service for you to select from your account at shipping stage although we do have the ability to open up the courier options after a repack has been completed by request.
We had managed to reduce the overall chargeable weight of your package by 1.02 kg which lowered the original shipping price with FedEx for your package by almost GBP 6.00.
We must make you aware that we will always assess packages for repack for safety as well as volume for onwards shipping and we cannot not make any guarantees that a combine and repack service will always assist with reducing the overall chargeable weight for the shipping price.
If you should have any further questions or concerns please do not hesitate to get back in touch with our Customer Experience team who will be more than happy to assist you further.
I hope the information provided to you is useful, we hope this issue will not deter you from shipping with us again in the future and you will reconsider your current rating of our services.
Kind Regards
Hayley

Happy with the service provided but very expensive.
Hi there.
Many thanks for your feedback.
We are sorry that you feel dissatisfied with the total shipping price paid.
The Australian Government introduced the charge of GST(Goods and Service Tax) on 1st July 2018.
We therefore need to charge 10% GST on all goods with a value of $1000 Australian dollars or less being shipped via our services and 10% on the shipping service provided. Shipments over the value of $1000 will be charged on import at the Australian border.
If you are already a registered Australian Business account holder which is approved for GST, you can register this account number on your forward2me profile and GST will not be charged on shipping via your forward2me account. The transaction will need to be declared during your usual return to the Australian Tax Office. We have to recover GST for the Australian Government on all shipments less than $1000 AUD if not GST registered, this a mandatory requirement for us as a forwarding agency and because we are offering shipping services to Australia and our revenue for shipments to customers' in Australia being over the maximum stated threshold we have to be GST registered.
We understand that everyone is facing financially challenging times worldwide and the fluctuating fuel surcharge rates with each courier service are causing increases in the overall shipping prices we are currently offering. Some courier companies review their fuel surcharges once a month and others review and amend the fuel surcharges on a weekly basis and the courier services' are also having to apply additional emergency surcharge fees in relation to COVID restrictions from country to country.

Without an excellent package forwarding company, in this post pandemic era, it is nearly impossible to get goods from overseas. Forward2Me is reliable, fast, reasonable, I already had several packages ranged from 10$ to 1000$+ value sent over via F2M. I'm now here writing this review to support good business.

I purchased a number of items off eBay, from sellers in the UK. Over about a month long period, all 20-odd of my purchases went to Forward2me. I subsequently made a shipping order, and my parcel arrived to me here in New Zealand, a week or so later. Every single purchase I'd made was in there. Great service, and good communication from the staff at Forward2me.

The service is good. However, I some of the rules aren't. It is legal to send fur through the mail but forward2me doesn't allow it. I didn't know it and, since I do not know anybody in the Uk and the seller doesn't accept returns, I had to trow a very nice fox coat to the waste basket.
Hi Rene,
Many thanks for your feedback.
We are sorry to see that you have only provided a 3* rating for our service, however, we really do appreciate the positive feedback that you had provided within your support ticket;
"While I do not like your policy of sending fur products abroad, the service provided by the support team was excellent. It was clear, fast and understanding of my situation. EXCELLENT SERVICE."
Your package was held in review from your account due to us not being able to ship it as it contained a real fur coat. One of my customer experience agents had been in regular contact with you trying to assist you with a return service or with shipping the fur coat to an alternative UK address. Unfortunately we are not authorized to ship any types of real animal skins or furs of any kind internationally. Please refer to our prohibited items page on our website to view all of the information regarding goods that are prohibited to us for shipping and where it clearly states 'Furs' under section 17.3.24.
We sincerely apologize for any inconveninece or loss this issue may have caused you.
We would strongly advise our customers to contact our customer experience team prior to purchasing any goods that are listed from our prohibited items list, as some of these items can be handled by us and shipped to some destinations if correctly declared, so we can further determine if we would be able to offer a shipping service for the goods. This would help customers' avoid any unnecessary delays or issues occurring with packages when they arrive to us.

Hi Karin.
Many thanks for your feedback.
I am sorry that you feel dissatisfied with the shipping rates. I can see you have processed 4 shipments through our service from both our UK and EU warehouse.
Our shipping rates for each of our warehouses are reviewed each year, with each of the courier services, to make them as cost effective as possible based on the volume of packages that we receive and we do also apply our service charge to the overall shipping prices, with the couriers, as a percentage.
Please be aware that it is a service that you are paying for through our company as well as shipping.
I have done some calculations and I do not feel we would have been able to successfully save you further costs on shipping if you had requested a combine and repack service for your 7 packages as one piece because the additional repack charges would have caused an unnecessary further increase with your final shipping costs. I can see that the shipping cost with DHL Economy for your 7 packages had been based on the total dimensional weight/size of the 7 packages as a multi piece shipment at 10.20 kg rather than the actual combined weight of the goods 4.01 kg. If you had chosen to repack your goods into one single piece we may have been able to save you approximately EUR 10.00 on the original DHL shipping price initially but this would be excluding the additional EUR 14.00 repack charges that would have been added on top. Repacking your goods into fewer or smaller packages or as one piece can sometimes be more economic and eliminate the risk of individual boxes going missing but it is not always guaranteed that a combine and repack/reduction service will provide sufficient cost savings on the original shipping price with the courier. We feel you were provided with the most cost effective courier shipping option for your goods from our EU warehouse.
We understand that everyone is facing financially challenging times worldwide and the fluctuating fuel surcharge rates with each courier service are causing increases in the overall shipping prices we are currently offering. Some courier companies review their fuel surcharges once a month and others review and amend the fuel surcharges on a weekly basis and the courier services' are also having to apply additional emergency surcharge fees in relation to COVID restrictions from country to country.

I'm writing this review to support good business. Forward2Me enables and provides intercontinental package forwarding service that is reliable, fast, reasonable, I had done several runs already with their help during past years. Every time I need goods from overseas I order the product and have it be sent to Forward2Me and they handle the sorting/shipping. Without a good forwarding company, buying things from other country is very difficult because the issue of international shipping.

Out of all the forwarding services I have not found any better then Forward2me.
My only disappointment though no fault of anyone is the forwarding service. Getting order from Europe to USA my only option is DHL which can be a little expensive, I only wish there’s a few more different options.

Hi Noura.
Many thanks for your feedback.
I am sorry to hear that your shipment was slightly delayed for delivery to your address in Kuwait.
I can see that the shipment left our UK warehouse on the 9th August and had been in transit for a maximum of 3 business days (excluding weekends) before finally arriving to your address in Kuwait on Sunday 14th August.
We do try our best to make our customers aware that the stated delivery dates for shipments with all tracked couriers, from our website should only ever be seen as an estimate. The stated 2 business days for the delivery of your shipment with DHL Express, to Kuwait, would have been subject to any unavoidable transit or connection delays within the network and also local customs clearance. Furthermore, as your shipment contained dangerous goods there would have been additional clearance checks to be completed to ensure the goods were correctly declared and all necessary export documentation provided for clearing the dangerous goods prior to export from the UK. Unfortunately the additional export checks that are required for dangerous goods can sometimes cause further delays with the export and effect the original estimated delivery times for shipments.
We hope the information we have provided to you is useful, we hope that the issues you have highlighted in your review will not deter you from shipping with us again in the future and that you will reconsider your current rating of our services.

Hi there.

I can see that you did not opt for a combine and repack service for your package prior to shipping from our Japan warehouse. The items, decorations, that you were shipping, although fairly light in weight, will have been packed into a larger box for safety/ handling purposes by the original seller. We may have been able to save you further costs on shipping if you had requested a combine and repack service for your package to try and reduce the size of the package further and lower your overall shipping price. The concept of the combine and repack service would usually refer to removing or reducing as much unnecessary excess space or voids in order to consolidate as many times together as one piece to reduce as much volumetric weight as possible but this would be dependant on the type of items being repacked. Because your package was containing fragile items then we would have more than likely assessed and carried out a repack for safety purposes rather than to reduce excess volume and this would not have necessarily resulted in any potential savings on the original shipping costs.
I can see that the shipping cost with DHL Express for your original package had been based on the size of the package at 2.98 kg rather than the actual weight of the goods 0.82 kg and although repacking the decorations into a smaller package may have been more economic and could have saved you costs on the shipping, we do not feel this would have been the safest option for your goods. It is not guaranteed that a combine and repack/reduction service will provide sufficient cost savings on the original shipping price with the courier as this would be dependant on the types of items that are being requested for a repack inside a package.
We must make you aware that we will always assess and repack fragile items, such as ceramics and glass items, for safety over volume for onwards shipping and we could not make any guarantees that a combine and repack service will always assist with reducing the overall chargeable weight for the shipping price.
If you should have any further questions or concerns please do not hesitate to get back in touch with our Customer Experience team who will be more than happy to assist you further.
I hope the information provided to you is useful, we hope this issue will not deter you from shipping with us again in the future and you will reconsider your current rating of our services.

Many thanks for your feedback.
I am sorry that you feel dissatisfied with the shipping rates from our Japan warehouse.
Our shipping rates are reviewed each year, with each of the courier services, to make them as cost effective as possible based on the volume of packages that we receive and we do also apply our service charge to the overall shipping prices, with the couriers, as a percentage.
Please be aware that it is a service that you are paying for through our company as well as shipping.
We understand that everyone is facing financially challenging times worldwide and the fluctuating fuel surcharge rates with each courier service are causing increases in the overall shipping prices we are currently offering. Some courier companies review their fuel surcharges once a month and others review and amend the fuel surcharges on a weekly basis and the courier services' are also having to apply additional emergency surcharge fees in relation to COVID restrictions from country to country.
We apologize for any inconvenience or difficulties this may be causing all of our customer's.
I can see that you did not opt for a combine and repack service for your package prior to shipping from our Japan warehouse. The items, decorations, that you were shipping, although fairly light in weight, will have been packed into a larger box for safety/ handling purposes by the original seller. We may have been able to save you further costs on shipping if you had requested a combine and repack service for your package to try and reduce the size of the package further and lower your overall shipping price.

Great forwarding service - quick and reliable. Not always successful getting goods out tax-free but I think if you can it’s a bonus.
Not a bargain solution though. If you want something quickly - great; if you’re not in a hurry, there are no slow/cheap options to AU.

I’m glad to have reliably received my package. However the interior box within my parcel was crushed, so I could not properly gift it. As a US customer the address for the the locker was a little confusing as it did not jive with the auto fill recommendations for the address when I checked out on the UK website I was purchasing from. Overall a bit expensive, but I was willing to pay to get something to the US that is only available in the UK.
