Customer Feefo Reviews
Feefo is an independent feedback service with verified and audited reviews.
These reviews are much more meaningful than reviews found on sites such as google or trip advisor because of two key points:
Only customers who have actually used the forward2me service are able to leave feedback so readers know that the feedback is genuine and not something forward2me has made up, or indeed a forward2me competitor has made up.
forward2me has no control over the feedback unless it is abusive or defamatory – in which case feefo themselves remove it. Every feedback is shown unedited and in full - all forward2me can do with negative feedback is respond to the customer's specific concerns.
This service has come in handy many times and is very fast/efficient, but sometimes the postage cost hurts. It's tough when you don't really know how much it'll cost until your package gets to them either (by which time you have no choice but to accept).

Hi,Many thanks for taking the time to review our services.I'm so pleased that you are overall happy with the service we provided you, although you would prefer if the cost was a little less.I see that you are based in Australia, shipping to your country has become more expensive in the last few months since the Australian Government has started to add Goods and Service tax to lower value imports, this of course has impacted on the final cost of shipping as we are now have to charge 10% on the total value of the goods shipped and on the service we provide.We do feel that for the actual shipping fee we offer value for money, shipping fees include the use of the address, the acceptance, processing, storing and dispatch of your goods including all export paperwork for shipping.We do provide a pricing page on our website if you wish to check the cost of shipping before your parcel arrives with us however we would need you to input the weight and dimensions of the parcel which I know is not always possible. Here is the link to our pricing page https://www.forward2me.com/pricing/I also see that you did not take advantage of our combine and repack service, shipping fees are based on the amount of space the parcel takes up in transit which is called the volumetric weight. We offer a combine and repack service where we reduce your package as much as possible for transit, this service is offered when the volumetric weight is higher than the actual weight and may be able to save on overall cost. This service may have helped reduce costs for you when shipping as the volumetric weight of your parcel was higher than the actual weight.I hope this information helps going forward however if you have any further questions regarding the above services and features please don't hesitate to get in touch with our Customer service team at info@forward2me.com and they will be happy to help guide you to choose the most cost effective services for shipping.Kind Regards,Tracy.
Una gran bella sorpresa!

forward2meは英国から日本への郵送費が高い。アメリカのPlanet Expressは安価です。

Hi, Many thanks for your feedback.I'm sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the cost of shipping via our services, I see that you have compared our pricing with a company in the USA rather than in the UK, we feel that this isn't a fair comparison as shipping is from another country and you have not mentioned the kind of service they offer. We see that you received a bulky item however did not take advantage of our Combine and Repack service which may have helped reduce the size of the package and reduce your overall shipping fee. If you require any further details on this service please feel free to contact our Customer Service team at info@forward2me.com and they will be happy to explain the service further.Kind Regards,Tracy.
After promising to deliver to a PO Box, forward2me didn't, and I had to drive 2 hours to pick up my very small packet from a freight depot. When I queried this, the guy who replied, asked why I thought they deliver to PO Boxes - I had to copy the text from their own website and send it to him before he believed me. He passed it onto someone who said they would look into it, but of course I have heard nothing back from them....
The service did not work for me, and the service was **** when querying it. Not recommended.
Response:
Hi,Many thanks for taking the time to provide us with your feedback.I'm sorry to hear that you have experienced an issue with the delivery of your parcel, although many couriers do offer delivery to PO Box addresses they do require a street name for delivery which you didn't supply when shipping. I'm thinking that this was the reason that you were asked to collect your parcel rather than the courier providing delivery.Due to the current pandemic most couriers do have limitations for delivery and collection of goods with many service depots being closed, this may be the reason why you were asked to collect your goods some distance away from your home as maybe the nearest depot to you may be closed.I do believe my colleague is looking into the distance you needed to travel for collection with the courier however as you can imagine courier responses are limited at the moment with call centres being closed and staff working from home with limited resources.Please be assured that we will contact you once we have a response from the courier.I hope you understand we are in very difficult times at the moment and are doing our very best to ensure that our customers are serviced in a timely manner.Kind Regards,Tracy.
I’ve had 4 experiences and 3 of the 4 have been super great and fast. The only issue I had was the 1st time I sent something to the German address. Something happened and my package wasn’t accepted, so it was sent back to the company. The 2nd time was great, I just had to upload a bill with my address on it
送料 手数料がもう少し安ければ嬉しいです。
対応は迅速でした。

Hi, Many thanks for taking the time to review our services.We are pleased that you are happy with the service however that you would be happier if the fees for shipping were lower.Our couriers base shipping fees on the amount of space they take up in transit which is called the volumetric weight. It is only when the actual weight of a parcel is higher than this volumetric weight that the courier calculates the charge for shipping on the actual weight.I see that although your package was light in weight it was quite large so the cost of shipping was calculated on the volumetric weight on this occasion. I'm afraid this is often the case with shipping footwear, we do offer a combine and repack service to help reduce the size of packages so our customers obtain the maximum value for shipping however due to footwear often being in shoe boxes, it isn't always possible to reduce the size of these packages to help save costs on shipping.I hope this helps explain how shipping costs are calculated however if you have any further questions please feel free to contact our Customer Services team at info@forward2me.com, on whatsapp or via chat from our website.Kind Regards,Tracy.
The service itself is good however costs for transporting goods high. If costs were more reasonable I'd considering more frequent use of the service.
Response:
Hi,I'm pleased to hear that overall you are happy with the service however would use us more often if the price for shipping was lower.I see that the items you shipped were quite large compared to the weight, when this happens the shipping costs are calculated by our couriers on the higher volumetric weight. We do offer a combine and repack service when this happens, you should see this option when processing your parcel for shipping. We receive a request from our customers and the warehouse team will then repack your packages as efficiently as possible, ensuring that there is no space wasted providing the customer with the maximum value for shipping.Many customers also use the 30 days free storage from the receipt of a package to collate a number of parcels in one shipment which also makes shipping more cost effective.I hope these options maybe something you consider going forward to help make our services more cost effective for you however if you need any help to ensure you are receiving the best possible shipping price please don't hesitate to get in touch with our Customer Service team at info@forward2me.com and they will be happy to guide you further.Kind Regards,Tracy.
I live in the US and bought perfume from the UK, so there was a little more to it than a standard purchase. I received excellent service. They were timely in their responses, and I knew what was happening every step of the way. The shipping was fast. My experience was a positive one, and I will not hesitate to use them again.
I am please to see that Forward2me keeps holding a high quality standard.
Everything arrived in time and secured. I totally recommend this service. I've used it dozens of times and so far, nothing critical to point out.
KEEP UP the good work! To me, most important are items to be WELL protected inside and BOX securely taped outside to avoid items to be lost.
Slick setup with address for use with OEM.

Hi,Many thanks for providing us with your feedback however I'm sorry to hear that you have found uploading the invoices for GST hard and this has made the experience of shipping with us more difficult due to this.We are looking at ways to make this process easier for our customers and hope to have this area improved in the coming months.We do appreciate your feedback and if you have any further questions please don't hesitate to get in touch with our Customer Care team at info@forward2me.com.Kind Regards,Tracy.
Excellent forwarding service, I've been using them for a few years now, and have no hesitation to recommend them. One could always wish for even lower shipping fees.
