I am on my 2nd year using Forward2me shipping service. They provide a Japanese address for me, I send packages from music shops & Amazon. They merge them into 1 smaller box and ship to me at very low rates. They are incredibly helpful and provide a fast & secure service :)

Hi Olaf,
Thanks for the feedback.
We are confident that we have not scammed you or mishandled your package items in any way.
You are searching for a package that never arrived at our warehouse. We investigated the DHL Paket racking number and found that it was out for delivery on Saturday, but our warehouse in Germany is closed on weekends. As a result, the parcel was returned to the sender.
I understand how upsetting it can be to lose items and feel frustrated with the process. We request photos to determine if the package was tampered with or inspected by customs, as we have encountered situations where couriers may open and inspect packages, potentially resulting in lost items inside.
We are communicating with you via email and clarified that the items were returned to the original sender. You have agreed to request compensation directly from them.
Many thanks,
Forward2me

Offers only one delivery Option to destination outside UK and repacking Consumes a couple of days. DHL delivery was ridiculously expensive with 77€!
Thanks for the feedback Johannes.
From the UK to Germany we currently have 9 different shipping options from companies including DPD, UPS, FedEx and DHL. Each of these services has restrictions on what you can ship, including things like limits on value, size or weight, or the type of goods.
Unfortunately your shipment contained a type of Dangerous Goods. From your perspective that might not make sense as you were only shipping hair care products. We don't make these rules but we are forced to work within them. At forward2me we are fully qualified to ship dangerous goods from all of our locations but many courier services don't allow dangerous goods on their networks owing to the additional burden of special packaging, special handling and additional paperwork. This is why you only see one shipping option - that is the only option currently available to us for that type of goods from the UK to Germany.
I agree with you, the shipping price is high. Unfortunately this is outside our control. The cheaper services have the most restrictions - including not allowing Dangerous Good - that is how they keep their costs low. In addition to being limited to more premium services, substantial additional fees are applied for handling dangerous goods. At forward2me we do not charge anything extra, we just pass those fees straight through from the courier.
This is a frustrating situation even for forward2me but I would like to reassure you that we are continually pressing the couriers to reduce these fees and we are working hard to provide more shipping options in every type of situation.
I do hope you find these details useful and if you wish to discuss further please contact our customer team.

I recently purchased an item from eBay that didn’t offer delivery to my country, so I started looking for freight forwarders online. After reading positive reviews on Trustpilot, I decided to try forward2me, and I’m glad I did! The process was incredibly smooth—after using the UK address provided by forward2me, my item was delivered to them and then forwarded to my country without any issues. The platform is easy to navigate, and I appreciated how streamlined everything was, from the initial purchase to the final delivery. The best part is the timely notifications at every step, ensuring I was always informed about what to do next. My shipment arrived on time, just as promised. Highly recommended!

A simple way to get deliveries to the UK from companies within the EU that don't ship here post Brexit. Quick and easy to use and very efficient with all your customs fees paid before the item is delivered. Useful to be able to 'bundle' orders into one box to reduce costs. Have also used for a package from the USA which was actually quicker than from the EU!

The transport is a lot, minimum 22$ and they also include the price of the amount paid to the carrier in the invoice so you have to pay double tax on it.
There is nowhere mentioned that you must confirm your address with your id. You are only asked to provide that when you encounter your first package and try to ship it. Why you have to confirm it when you basically pay for it to be shipped and declare all the values? you also have to do the border processes yourself and redo the list of items again because it wasn't properly communicated to the first in the first place when you completed it.
For the Japanese warehouse, I have no complaints but for the German one they over-opened all the packages with the motive that is to ensure that you don't have illegal goods to your region. Mate, it came to Europe it was already inspected properly, with an x-ray as it should be done, to ensure nothing illegal for the EU is inside. Even the sealed boxes where opened. You don't even at least get pictures of the package to know if something was missing or damaged when it arrived to them, and I had items missing and didn't know if I should contact them or the other firm to reship it to them and the repay the shipping price :). Also, you have 30 days storage but if you combine a package with 1 day left with another one that has more days left for combine shipping, you now have 1 day left on the combined package. Aaaand if you do this when that package has only a few hours left, which takes a few hours to a day, congrats now you have to pay for extended storage :).
Overall I would only recommend it if you don't have any other alternatives and don't care if some of your goods are missing or seen by someone else and pay a lot of money for subpar delivery.
Update: since privacy doesn't seem to be their concern at all (disclosing names seen on other reviews as well) and the FAQ is considered legally binding to them and is my fault that I read the terms of service and the privacy notice which btw doesn't mention handle of this data.
PS: the blue picture button that is mentioned, only shows the picture that is included in the email that they received a package for you, which is the package sealed with the shipping details on it. So yeah not addressing that a second useless verification can lead to missing items.

Hi SD,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate all insights, whether positive or negative.
We strive to be clear with our pricing. You can view our rates here: https://www.forward2me.com/pricing/. By calculating the fees in advance, you can avoid any surprises with shipping costs.
Unfortunately, there’s been confusion about whether the shipping price needs to be included on the commercial invoice. Some customers and couriers have conflicting opinions, and it seems to vary by customs office. We allow customers to decide if they want this information included on the invoice.
I’m sorry for any inconvenience with the address verification process. For our Germany warehouse, it's clearly stated on our website that this document is required before shipping. You can find the details in the FAQ section here: Germany Warehouse https://www.forward2me.com/warehouses/germany/
I understand your concern about the inspection of packages. We do this to comply with regulations. Customers can request photos of their packages directly from their account by clicking the blue camera icon in their package inbox.
Due to our limited storage space, we can only provide up to 30 free days of storage for each box we receive.
After the first 30 days of storage, we must charge 0.50p each day, and this is something we must clearly state for our package. 9 Delivery and Storage of the terms of trade:- https://www.forward2me.com/terms-of-trade/

My items arrived, so far ok.
What I wish you to do better:
1. The price for your service should be predictable. Please make sure that forwarding costs indicated in beforehand on your website do not increase tens of percent without any reason.
2. I was invited to check a modified list of my items. I was not able to cancel twice-mentioned items or change the number of them so that the sum would be correct. I guess the idea of checking the list on my side and checking the package on your side should not lead to contradictions impossible to overcome, or simply to the fact that your staff closed all possible eyes in front of the obvious contradiction.
3. As far as my package was possibly opened and checked, a not so comfortable outcome was that at arrival at my house multiple product's packages missed useful parts of their package.

It is quick in correspondence, and the package keeps strong, too, but an amount of money is high.
Hi Naoto,
Thank you very much for your feedback.
Shipping costs are typically based on the space your shipment takes up, known as the volumetric weight, rather than the actual weight. Couriers like DHL and FedEx calculate their prices using this volumetric weight. However, if the actual weight exceeds the volumetric weight, the shipping price is based on the actual weight.
In this case, the volumetric weight is higher than the actual weight, so the shipping fees are based on the volumetric weight of 2.54 kg.
It appears that you are using UPS for shipping from Germany to Japan, which is the most economical option we can offer from this warehouse, considering the weight of 2.17 kg and dimensions of 35x33x11 cm.
Many thanks,

Unclear information on the website involving your "locked prices". I had sent my item to you after locking a price for "30days". I contacted a member of your staff to ask why I couldn't use my locked price to send my item. To which she was initally very responsive and told me she would email me back. I ended up just sending my package using the cheapest option because it took so long for forward2me to get back to me. I love your service. It has allowed me access to items from Europe very easily but I think your website it unclear and leads people to underestimating the cost of shipping.
Hi Holly,
Thank you for your feedback.
We reviewed the lock price email you sent and noted the weight and dimensions you provided: Weight (kg): 0.30 / Dimensions (cm): 5.00 x 10.00 x 3.00. The DHL shipping cost was quoted at £54.69 + GST.
However, the physical package we received has a weight of 0.21 kg and dimensions of 25 x 18 x 14 cm. Consequently, the shipping cost may differ from the initial quote due to the actual package received at our warehouse.
The cost of shipping is generally calculated by the amount of space that your shipment occupies, rather than the actual weight. This is called the volumetric weight. All couriers (examples: DHL and TNT) use the volumetric weight to calculate their shipping prices. However, if the actual weight is more than this volumetric weight then the shipping price is calculated using this actual weight.
I see on this occasion the volumetric weight is higher than the actual weight so the shipping fees are calculated on the higher volumetric weight 1.26 kg.
I hope this clarifies the issue.
Best regards,
Forward2me

The cost of shipping is generally calculated by the amount of space that your shipment occupies, rather than the actual weight. This is called the volumetric weight. All couriers (examples: DHL and TNT) use the volumetric weight to calculate their shipping prices. However, if the actual weight is more than this volumetric weight then the shipping price is calculated using this actual weight.
I see on this occasion the volumetric weight is higher than the actual weight so the shipping fees are calculated on the higher volumetric weight 1.26 kg.
I hope this clarifies the issue.
Best regards,

An easy and fast way to forward your packages. All my questions were answered by the support team. I received my package the same week.
Thank you for your 5 star review 😊.

Shipping rates are way too expensive! There is no budget option available, just premium courier services, so for forwarding a simple cup (500g) it cost 42£ from UK to Switzerland. I forwarded this issue but no response was received. Because of this, I would not recommend to use forward2me.
I was also forced to repack the shipment (at extra cost, of course), despite it arriving in fully protected condition from the original seller - why?
I talked to support about it, but there were constant changes to who was responsible and thus it didn't lead to a solution. I did get a refund for the repacking fee later, so in the end this was resolved.
Overall disappointed. It's not the solution I was looking for due to the unreasonably high cost.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the feedback.
We advise against shipping mugs from our UK tax-free warehouse as it is not cost-effective for low-value items. It's more suitable to use this address for high-value goods due to higher shipping costs compared to our standard UK warehouse. Shipping low-value items from this location may not result in significant tax savings and could lead to higher shipping expenses overall.
In our UK warehouse, we provide shipping options such as DHL, UPS, FedEx, Forward2me Lite, and Lite X. For EU countries like Germany, France, and the Netherlands, we offer DPD.

It took about two weeks to forward a parcel. Somebody marked in as dangerous (without any reason), and manager on your side all this time was "trying to get documentation from manufacturer". I assume, she just put this aside, until I begin to send a lot of annoyed messages.
Anyway, I took two weeks and a lot of my time, attention and meaningless correspondence about "dangerous" items.
For this time looks like poor service.

Hi Filipp,
Thanks for the feedback.
We understand you're shipping chalk paint, which is water-based and not flammable, thus lowering its classification as hazardous material. Still, it's recommended to review the safety data sheet (SDS) provided by the manufacturer to confirm its classification and any special handling instructions.
As a way of helping you, we contacted the manufacturer of the goods and they provided the correct SDS and which confirms they are not fall under dangerous goods category. We appreciate if any customers would provide the SDS upfront to avoid these delays in the future.
Once again, please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter.
Many thanks,

Packing needs to be improved. There is no padding with the item shipped. The box was destroyed when it arrived.
Hi Sam,
Thank you for your feedback.
We believe this concerns your previous UPS shipment, which included the Protect+ guarantee.
It appears that you opted for repack savings instead of repack safety. For shipments containing valuable items, we recommend selecting repack safety to ensure the highest quality repackaging without compromising on dimensional volume.
Should there be any damage to the box, we encourage customers to reach out to us directly using this link: https://www.forward2me.com/customer-services/.
If your shipment is covered by the Protect+ guarantee, please review the details of this service here: https://www.forward2me.com/protection-guarantee/.
In the event of transit damage, please contact our customer service team promptly through our website or by calling us at +44 1995 606060 within 24 hours of delivery. Note on the courier receipt that the goods arrived damaged and take photos of the packaging. You will need to complete a claim form and provide photographic evidence of the damage, including the external packaging. The contents of the shipment and the original packaging must be available for inspection at the delivery address. Additionally, we will require proof of the item(s) value in the form of original supplier receipts or invoices, which should be included with your claim.

I’m in the US and have used the UK address for them on at least 8 occasions. They have never failed me. Process is reasonably fast. Only thing I would recommend is that the interface they use for customers to ship orders, be updated. It seems outdated and it’s confusing.

Negligence as usual and failure to respond quickly to emails
Hi Ahmad,
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the delayed response over the weekend.
Our team is currently working with limited staff over the weekend, which has contributed to the slower response times. Regarding your package, our records indicate that it was delivered to IDS Depot which is not our correct delivery address at Germany location and we acknowledge that there was no signature recorded upon delivery.
If a package is not received at our warehouse, customers must initiate a claim with the sender. The sender will then raise a claim on behalf of customer.
Once again, we do apologise for any inconvenience this cause.
Many thanks,

I really love Forward2Me its saved lots of money & made importing mutch less stressful. I just wish it were a little easier to combine parcels.
Hi Jude,
Thanks for the 4 star review. I see that you are satisfied with our services.
Lots of our customers use our service to purchase multiple orders from different retailers therefore we offer a 30 day free storage period at our warehouse to enable customers to collate their parcels and ship them in one go.
There are two options for shipping multiple packages, first of all you could choose our combine and repack service. This service is offered when we repack and combine orders together into as least boxes as possible so our customer obtains the maximum value for shipping. For this service we charge £2 per package which is added to your final shipping invoice.
Check this link on how to request combine and repack FAQ How to request Combine and Repack ?
Alternatively, if you feel that we would be unable to reduce the size of the parcels to make the combine and repack fee cost effective for you, we can offer a multi-piece shipment for some of our courier services.
Here you would just choose up to 15 packages to be added to your shipment and we would ship them out as multi-pieces under the same shipment number. This service is more cost effective than shipping the goods in separate shipments.
For this service the boxes would be shipped out together however not repacked and are dispatched in the same boxes they have arrived in, of course we would ensure that they are safe and secure for international transit. For this service there is no additional charge.
Many thanks,
