We completely understand that unexpected delays can arise due to circumstances beyond your control, and we’re glad we were able to support you with an alternative solution. It’s great to hear that forwarding your parcel to a UK address worked out well in the end.
We truly appreciate your kind words about Kyla — we’ll be sure to pass along your feedback to her. She’ll be delighted to know her assistance made a positive difference.

I had 4 packages sent and the postage was quoted as 240€! Then they said “oh if you pay us 15€ we can repackage and get it to 160€.. I mean, by that point it’s extortion, they have all your stuff and will just bin it if you don’t pay up.
So I paid the 15€ and guess what… postage was 300€!!!… I complained repeatedly and they just gave that same bs line again and again about “oh it’s volume not weight soz”
UPDATED
They read this review a contacted me and refunded the difference. Pity they refused to ack anything until I did this… adjusted the rating to 3.
In the end it worked but I don’t think I would ever go through the risk/process again.
We truly appreciate your time and honesty, and we hope we might have the opportunity to make your next experience smoother.

I ordered a medical testing supplies kit that unfortunately has run into FDA regulatory issues. I do want to acknowledge that the Trump administration is absolutely responsible for the regulatory problems around getting important medical care, supplies, and treatments, so there are those of us that are trying to use shipping forwarding services. That being said, MyGermany used to ship this item, and some other re-shippers will also do this too with varying degrees of success. After the acquisition, Forward2Me will not ship the items, which is something that caught me by surprise. There are other people who have tried this with Forward2Me, please be advised, if you are ordering what I ordered, they are not going to ship it through. Forward2Me says they don't want to take the risk with CBP intercepting the packages, so take that as you will if you are a customer.
I initially complained after being told I would have to pay around $30 (total costs) to ship the item domestically within Germany to return the item, and was told the charge was non-waivable. The customer service team eventually was able to step in to assist me. The company agreed on a one-time basis to waive the charge and ship the item back to the original supplier.
There was (and is) still some stress as I had to reach out to the supplier and plead for a return given that there had been some delays in time. At this point I am still hoping the supplier company, based on a conversation I had with their customer rep, will refund me, but we are technically past the 14 day window the original supplier has. And unfortunately, that does put me at risk of losing the money on the item. Foward2Me will cover returns up to 7 days but please be advised, that is a pretty narrow window. I encountered some issues with the website accepting a return address. The customer rep Jus tried to help, but I think the website had difficulty properly reading the address. That will add time to any return you may want to process on your end.
I do want to thank Joyce who took over on a lot of this request, and also Aimee, who also helped out and finished out the request getting the item shipping back to the supplier. They stuck with me through a difficult period on the request and, in fairness to them, did their best to help explain the website and how to use it. Aimee provided detailed instructions and Joyce followed up with easier-to-follow pictures when I didn't understand the text instructions at first. There were some disagreements about pricing/expenses but the company eventually decided to try to help out I think to address the dissatisfaction I had at that time.
I do think that some of the reviews here complaining about pricing transparency and such have validity - what you get on a shipping quote can often be a lot lower than what you will eventually need to pay. Now that Cadet Bone Spurs is escalating the War with Iran, it can create even more problems for customers as shipping rates surge in response to oil and supply line blockages. That's something to keep in mind if you want to use this service.
I do think the company could improve the useability of the website interface, and as a customer, you should expect that with things of this nature things may take more time than expected, such as contacting other parties involved on your order, processing addresses, etc. Deadlines can come up a lot sooner than you think. I did try calling the phone line and wasn't able to get through. The customer rep (Joyce) said that she had tried to call, but it didn't appear to get through on my phone. I think the company still probably has some issues to work with getting the customer support operations staffed appropriately to handle the volume they are dealing with, especially after a merger with another company. I can understand that reps need focused time to respond to emails and investigate concerns, and having a ringing phone at random points would really disrupt that focus. But coming from the customer side, being able to call is important as email/text communications can leave confusions about things that a call can resolve. I think the company should work to better support the customer support team so that both options can be operationally supported.
We as a freight forwarders cannot legally bypass customs. We are bound by the shipping laws of both the export country (Germany/UK) and the import country (USA).
While we strive to help customers access products globally, medical testing kits are subject to strict International Air Transport Association (IATA) and FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) regulations. Even if an item is not "dangerous," many countries classify diagnostic kits as restricted medical devices that require specific import permits or "Prior Notice" filings that individual consumers often cannot provide.
The "misunderstanding" mentioned by our team likely refers to the high risk of these items being seized or destroyed by U.S. Customs. However, we acknowledge that our communication was contradictory and that telling you to "try and fail" was not the clear guidance you deserved.
We apologize for the difficulty in reaching us by phone. We are currently reviewing our call logs and ticket handling processes to ensure we are as responsive as our customers need us to be.
Thank you.

Mi hanno spedito i pacchi divisi nostante fossero arrivati contemporaneamente (ed io avessi chiesto il repack) per farmi pagare il doppio delle spese, veramente vergognosi
We noticed that your order arrived in separate packages, even though they reached us on the same day. This happens because Amazon sometimes ships items separately. Each box is logged individually with its own item types, quantity, weight, and dimensions, which is why they are processed separately. We want to clarify that we never split your items; this was done by Amazon.
Our combine and repack process is an optional service to help consolidate multiple packages into a single shipment. While it does carry an additional charge, its purpose is to make shipping easier and more cost-effective. Customers can still choose to ship items as multiple pieces without requesting a combine and repack.
We will send you an email to discuss this further.
Kind regards,

My original review on March 2 was based largely on a lack of communication. Since then, it appears that some emails were not being received in either direction, and it is unclear which side the issue occurred on. Because of that, I cannot attribute all of the communication problems solely to Forward2me.
In the end, Forward2me did resolve the issue and shipped the remaining balance of our goods at no additional cost to the client, who had already paid in full. The client has now received their merchandise, and we appreciate that the company ultimately came through.
However, I cannot rate them higher because response times were extremely slow, which caused a great deal of frustration and delay. I submitted three requests through their Help Portal without receiving a response.
We had three packages sent to them for consolidation, but their system was confusing and the packages were not consolidated as expected. The package counts shown in the system were difficult to verify, and the two emails we received about the shipment were unclear.
When the client received the shipment, two-thirds of the order was missing. I then contacted Forward2me through multiple channels — their website Help and Missing forms, email, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and by calling from the U.S. to the U.K., where I was only able to leave a message after being placed on hold.
This process began with the order placed on January 12, so the overall timeline was quite long.
Had this been handled more smoothly — especially given that it was a straightforward consolidation request — this likely would have been a 5-star experience. Ultimately the issue was resolved and we are satisfied with the final outcome.
It would greatly improve the customer experience if there were faster response times, a live chat option, or regional call centers so customers could reach someone more easily when issues arise.
We truly appreciate your patience while the issue was being resolved, and we’re pleased that we were able to ensure the remaining goods were shipped to the client without any additional cost. Your understanding throughout the process means a lot to us.

I bought a jacket that weighs 800 grams. The shipping calculator on their website gave me an estimated price of £23, but they ended up invoicing me £97. Total crooks!
Here’s how they do it: the calculator shows cheap shipping options like DPD, but when it’s time to actually ship, they only leave the most expensive ones: UPS and FedEx. Also, while the jacket weighs 800g, they billed me for 4.8 kg. Don't fall for it—you’ll definitely regret using them. The price doesn't match their promises at all!
We see you shipped from our UK Tax Free warehouse (0.80 kg, 59x42x13 cm). Shipping costs are calculated using volumetric weight, which in this case (6.44 kg) is higher than the actual weight. All couriers (e.g., DHL, FedEx) use this method.
For oversized packaging, we offer a combine & repack service via your account inbox. If no savings are possible, your package is returned.
Tax Free means UK sales tax is excluded from your purchase, not that you are exempt from destination duties or taxes. You remain responsible for any charges imposed by customs in Guernsey or other countries. Savings from UK sales tax can help offset shipping costs, but check if it’s beneficial compared to mainland UK shipping.
Shipping options:
UK warehouse: DHL, UPS, FedEx, Forward2me Lite/Lite X, DPD (EU countries)
UK Tax Free warehouse: DHL, FedEx
We hope this clarifies everything.

Edit: don’t be fooled by their response. Nothing at all was wrong with my items and they FORCED me to have them repacked charging 6 pounds extra on top of shipping charges. I paid 56 usd for a few items and everything weighed less than a pound/16 ounces. That was the cheapest shipping option too!
We understand how frustrating this situation must have felt, particularly when it comes to shipping costs and delays. Our aim is always to provide a transparent and reliable service, and never to make the process more difficult for our customers.
Shipping costs are set by our courier partners and are based on either the actual weight or the volumetric weight of the parcel (whichever is greater). While your items may have been lightweight, the final cost can sometimes reflect the size of the packaged shipment rather than just the weight alone.
Regarding the repack request, once items have been repacked, they are prepared for dispatch. Making changes at that stage can unfortunately require the parcel to be unpacked and repacked again, which carries a small risk of damage. In your case, we did arrange for the additional parcel to be shipped separately at no extra cost as a gesture of goodwill.
For eyewear shipments into the US, a drop ball test declaration is required as part of import regulations. We request this in advance to help avoid customs delays and ensure a smooth delivery process.
We can see that our team has previously reached out to assist with this matter and would still very much welcome the opportunity to resolve this for you. If you’re open to it, we’ll be happy to review everything again.

A special mention to Nica, who handled my correspondence. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and ensured I was kept in the loop throughout the entire process. It’s rare to find such dedicated support. If you need a reliable forwarder that can actually handle the tough stuff, I highly recommend them!

UPDATE 17-03-2026: The same forward2me rep came back a few times last week asking if I would increase my Trustpilot rating. The parcel arrived on Friday & the x3 CO2 cylinders from the tyre kit are missing. I mailed them but they have reverted to not bothering replying.
My check of the documents on this parcel shows no such dangerous goods classification, so they literally decided to send 'dangerous goods' as regular goods since there was a trim utility blade in the tyre kit & the CO2 cylinders in the airbag jacket.
MY impression remains, the classification of parcels is to justify expensive FedEx quotes which are completely disassociated from any economy quotes given by their calculator. While it is conjecture I would assume there is pressure to classify parcels like this where the most profit lie.
Really the passion in following up by the customer success team is all about their social rating.
UPDATE 09-03-2026: A representative stepped in on Friday probably due to Trustpilot review. They organised a DHL 'Economy Select' shipping option: €108.45
I have not been told if any items were removed from the parcel for this or if the 'dangerous goods' classification still stands, the price breakdown itemisation marks this as €0.00.
I won't be able to update on that until I receive the package...if I receive it, at which time I'll update this review again for fairness.
For €108.45 I expect to get everything that arrived originally.
It's still a very expensive delivery service whichever way this pans out. You should not have to drag these things into a public review to get a semblance of fair play.
At the end of the day fc-moto could make these exact goods take the same route for €17.99.
--------------------------------------------------------
Pricing from Germany to Ireland calculator looks great. But in practice you need to VERY careful about what your package contains. If anything on the dangerous goods list is found you get a 'dangerous goods' classification & you will enter a slow, untransparent process of exorbitant shipping offers with unanswered questions.
My parcel contained a tyre repair kits with x3 16gm CO2 canisters - the ones which fit in your hand & go in sodastream makers, refill bicycle tyres. It's the air you breathe out in compressed form, there isn't really a safer gas/size.
The other thing my parcel contained was a motorbike airbag, again this has x2 compressed CO2 canisters.
Now I'm not arguing that these can legitimately be marked 'dangerous goods' but retailers simply don't have this expense in Euro shipping & do not have the margin to swallow costs like this so there are other options just not here.
Apart from that they was a small bag, a lever & thermal shield -
Weight (kg)
4.12
Dimensions (cm)
42 x 61 x 21
Value
€400.22
Support came back with these quotes
DHL Express Worldwide €237.02
FedEx International Priority €130.26
Yet their own pricing calculator says price a parcel of the same weight & dimensions going from Germany to Ireland containing a laptop with battery (also dangerous goods) it costs €59.77+VAT = €73.52
I asked for an option that is more reasonable like this - economy / by road / limited quantity with the DHL surcharge €25/€27
Article (no links allowed)
16574578080796-Can-you-ship-dangerous-goods-from-the-Germany-Warehouse
This was completely ignored by support along with any request for a call to discuss.
Had I bought the same contents from fc-moto.de(the airbag was €80 more expensive than the one I sourced & had sent to to forward2me) the shipping is listed at €17.99. They are a huge moto retailer who would absolutely be certified in sending batteries etc, I have used them in the past for batteries, they partner with DHL as forward2me do.
Yet forward2me gave no DHL option, despite DHL being specifically noted in the linked article about dangerous good. No economy option was given.
So think twice before you order that thing with a small gas cylinder or a electronic device with a battery, you will find it difficult to save any money.
Our team has already addressed the issue, and we will continue assisting you via email.

I had one package take 3 business days to get through their process, now a second package is already taking over 1 full week.
I'm not even having them combine packages or anything, would just want them to stick a new label on and ship the package straight out.
Having complained to their support, the response was simply "sorry, we received lots of packages".
I'm extremely dissatisfied.
Update: The package eventually shipped out the day after my initial review and arrived 3 days later. So the processing took overall 6 business days or 8 calendar days. The package ultimately sat longer in Delaware than the combined shipping time from China to Delaware and then from there to Europe.
The repacking added an extra layer of cardboard, but the original box was sturdy enough, I still don't think it was really necessary.
As a goodwill gesture, apologising for this delay, I was refunded the cost of this package's forward shipping. So I do at least appreciate this recognition, that the processing should not take this long and hopefully it will get better in the future.
Update2: In light of an outcome, that was ultimately good, other than the timeline and the assurances for better performance in the future, rating changed.
We truly value your understanding and your updated rating, and we hope to provide a more timely experience for your next shipment.
We are committed to improving processing times to prevent delays like this in the future.

I purchased some goods for my Client and sent them through to Forward2me to be consolidated and shipped on to my Client overseas. From what I have discovered, 3 packages were delivered to them. They consolidated 2 packages, and took 2 of 16 pieces of the 3rd package and placed it into the consolidated package, which shipped and was received by my Client. The package of 16 pieces was the greater expense of goods we had purchased, and 14 of these pieces are still sitting in their warehouse. We paid in full for the shipping, taxes and duties of everything we had purchased, but received about 1/3 of the goods.
I requested Help a number of times while signing up with no response. I muddled my way through the system with requesting help via email on 1/19. I finally received 1 response on 2/4 with no information, no help. I have been making requests since 1/19. Have requested Help from their website Help Button, on their missing page, numerous Urgent Emails, called and was placed into voicemail where I left a message. ALL with NO RESPONCE.
Our team will investigate this matter in detail and will get back to you with an update as soon as possible.

Regarding your comments on our US warehouse and the request for a Proof of Delivery (POD) photo: We sincerely apologize for the frustration this caused. You are correct that USPS does not provide delivery photos, and major carriers like UPS or FedEx typically only take photos for "front door" drops, not for items signed for or handed to an individual.
We are currently reviewing our internal support protocols to ensure our business support team better understands the specific limitations of US carrier services like Media Mail.
