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.

Forwardtome is a great service. Especially if the store you want to order from doesn’t ship directly to your country. Can be pricey at times but I cannot complain.

They charge duties/tax when you send products to their 'tax-free' warehouse...LOL
I ask them why so since I wasn't expecting to pay any duties/taxes when using the 'tax-free' warehouse and they pointed me to the 7883 worded section 3.11 'Terms of Trade'...LOL
Another big surprise when I received the rates to ship the parcel to ship to my hiome!
Took a total of 3 weeks and multiple emails from time they received the parcel to shipping it out to me.
All in, I'm better off just paying EU taxes and ship it directly from EU!
That said, the email support (Hayley) was prompt and friendly.
Regardless, won't be a returning customer...

Hi there.
Many thanks for your feedback.
Once again, we are sorry to hear that you feel dissatisfied with the information that was provided to you recently regarding our UK Tax Free Warehouse based in Guernsey, Channel Islands. It is clear the concept of our Tax Free warehouse is being misconstrued by many of our customers.
Please be aware that, when you order goods to the tax free warehouse, the tax free element refers to the 20% VAT that is deducted from the total purchase costs of the items from the online retailer either upon checkout or upon delivery to Guernsey. The tax free element does not refer to any import duties or taxes owing for packages arriving to and from the tax free warehouse. You would be responsible to pay any import duties owing for items entering or exported from Guernsey.
The VAT or tax free element refers to the purchase VAT or tax that you save from your original purchase with the retailer and this VAT or tax saving would contribute towards your final costs for the shipping service.
Guernsey is an English-speaking island located in the English Channel between France and Great Britain. It is not part of the United Kingdom or a member of the European Union, instead it is a self-governing Crown Dependency. It has a special status negotiated by treaty that means that Guernsey is within the EU for most of the purposes of the free movement of goods but outside the EU for other purposes. Significantly, Guernsey has no VAT or GST (Tax Free). This means if a UK retailer ships to Guernsey they should not be charging VAT or tax.
Therefore it is recommended that you only look to ship higher value goods to this address as shipping options are limited to DHL and can be a little more expensive than shipping from our mainland UK address.
It is therefore important that you calculate beforehand that the vat saving on the purchase is higher than the possible increase in shipping costs from this facility compared to shipping from the UK mainland.
As a comparison, you would be permitted to pay the purchase price of the goods plus additional purchase VAT or tax plus the courier shipping costs if you were shipping your goods from our mainland UK warehouse, which can mean a much more higher cost to you for international shipping overall.
We understand that the DHL shipping rates are slightly higher when shipping from our tax free warehouse in Guernsey so it is therefore important that you calculate beforehand that the vat saving on the purchase is higher than the possible increase in shipping costs from this facility compared to shipping from the UK mainland.
I hope the information I have provided you is useful, we hope this issue does not deter you from using our services again in the future and that you will reconsider your current rating of our service. Please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Experience team if you have any more questions or concerns.
Kind Regards
Hayley

The fact that I have to provide evidence of an item’s purchase is a bit annoying, but it just shows that they’re thorough. Although it’d definitely be a problem if you’ve accidentally deleted or can’t find proof of the information.

My baggage was returned to the place of departure and charged for international shipping because of a defective invoice. I just moved within the UK and I don't understand why I was charged for shipping to Japan. Also, when I request a refund, they do not respond at all.
Hi Shinichiro.
Many thanks for your feedback.
We are sorry that you feel dissatisfied with our service on this occasion, however, as was previously advised to you, we cannot issue a refund to you for the original shipping costs that you paid with TNT as you substantially devalued the goods from your TNT shipment.
Our available courier services are not liable to refund us with the shipping costs for circumstances such as this, therefore, for all of your future shipments, we would strongly advise that you declare a true value, if your local customs office believes the goods have been devalued this will cause delays to your shipments and if you cannot provide evidence of these values when requested the goods can be seized by official or returned to the UK at extra costs.
We do apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you.
I hope the information I have provided to you is useful, we hope these issues do not deter you from shipping with us again in the future and that you will reconsider your current rating of our service.
Kind regards
Hayley

Hi there,
Many thanks for your feedback.
I am sorry to hear that you feel dissatisfied with our services and that you have received your items in poor condition to your address.
All damage or loss claims must be notified to us via email as soon as the shipment has been received so we can request the relevant images and documents from you that are relating to the goods in the shipment, so we can then proceed to determine liability for the damage and ensure we are still within the stated timeframe to be able to submit a claim to the courier if needed. All damage claims must be notified by us to FedEx in writing within 21 calendar days from the date FedEx accepted the shipment, failing which no action for damages may be brought against FedEx. I have checked the date that your shipment was dispatched from our UK warehouse up until the date of delivery and we are no longer within the 21 days timeframe to submit a damage claim with the courier for your shipment. I can see that you did not request a repack service for your goods prior to shipping, therefore, all of your goods would have been shipped out as they were received from the original senders. I am happy to ask for one of my customer experience agents to reach out to you via email to request additional images of the damaged items so we can assess and conclude this matter further at our side for you.
Please keep an eye out for our email.
I hope this helps you further.
Kind Regards
Hayley

I'm a stubborn person. An item I wanted was sold out in the US storefront, but I discovered that the company has separate inventory for their UK storefront, and it was available there -- but they did not offer US shipping directly. Forward2Me to the rescue!

Force you to combine and repack. This has happened to me a few times on the same shipment I receive on a regular basis. And they really don't even repack it, just place a fragile sticker. This adds cost and worse, time to the shipment.

"I can assure you that this is not the responsibility of forward2me"
This is not assuring at all...
I understand that there are delays in this current state, but please be more helpful to your customers. Get some statistics and check how long shipments via DHL, FedEx, UPS take from your facility to the destination, and share your data so the customer can make an informed decision next time.
As it stands, I'll probably be using Buyandship since the delivery time is just as long, and the cost is HK$26/lbs, less than half of what is being charged with these carriers.
Also, let the customer know in advance that verification will be required. It doesn't feel good learning that my property is suddenly at risk of being discarded in your facilities.
