Service rapide et correct, cependant ne tombez pas dans le panneau de l'option "refaire le colis et bénéficiez d'une assurance". J'avais jusque là plusieurs services de livraison à choisir mais une fois l'option sélectionnée, il ne m'en restait plus qu'un seul, UPS, qui m'a extorqué 35 euros de frais de douane et avec un service de livraison débile, je suis resté 2 fois chez moi pour les recevoir, le livreur n'a pas daigné m'appeler pour que je lui ouvre la porte et a déposé mon colis dans un dépôt assez loin de chez moi (je ne suis pas véhiculé). Vraiment nul. Ah et pour en revenir à l'assurance promise par forward2me, elle coute 20 euros. Non merci, je me suis bien fait avoir. Comme c'est un des rares sites à proposer un proxy vers le Royaume Uni je l'utiliserai probablement de nouveau à regret mais je ne tomberai plus dans le piège.

Thank you for your feedback regarding our service! We’re glad to hear that you found it fast and correct.

Repackaging options are available to improve the security of your shipment, but this service is completely optional, and you can decide not to utilize it. It's required for shipping fragile items, such as glassware, ceramics, electronics, and other breakables, which should be securely packaged with cushioning materials to prevent damage. Additionally, items like batteries, chemicals, or flammable products may require special packaging to meet safety regulations. Larger or heavier items may also need reinforcement to ensure they are securely packaged and safe for transport. Furthermore, bottles or containers with liquids should be repackaged to avoid leaks and spills.

When you request repackaging and select your preferred couriers, customers can still contact our customer experience team, and we will adjust the courier options after optimizing them for you.

Also, the costs you have paid to forward2me include multiple services such as receiving your package, repackaging if needed, and preparing essential export paperwork to help send your items from the UK.

It is important to mention that these charges do not cover any possible import duties or taxes, as well as brokerage fees that may be required when importing the products into your country.
 
For more detailed information, please refer to our FAQ section by following this link: https://forward2me.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360014012079-Do-shipping-rates-include-duty-charges-and-taxes-

I hope this explains.

Many thanks!

Ich habe schon öfter über Lieferdienste in Nicht-EU-Ländern bestellt, doch es war nie so kompliziert wie bei forward2me. Ich hatte einen Adventskalender bestellt und jedes einzelne Teil wurde analysiert und jeden Tag gab es ein anderes Problem. Das habe ich noch nie erlebt und vor allem habe ich keine genaue Erklärung erhalten was genau das Problem ist. Auf meine Fragen kamen immer nur Standart-Antworten. Am Ende war der Versand plötzlich doppelt so hoch wie ursprünglich berechnet und dadurch, dass alle Produkte einzeln gelistet waren musste ich dem Zoll eine extra Gebühr von 50€ zahlen.

When asking questions about my order/s I always make myself very clear about what I am asking but the person seems to fail in understanding basic requests but we get there in the end. And as far as Fedex is concerned I understand why they are so cheap. Their way in which they deliver items that arrive all at once is in 3 separate days (the last time they didn't deliver on the day they claimed no one was home when they delivered another parcel in the day), madness! Anyway after I did all the ground work I eventually got them no thanks to FedEx…

The repacking was done well, the box was not oversized. Worked really well. The whole process was very fast.

The only critique is maybe offer some more breakdown information on the international addresses. Sometimes I am not sure if a piece of information is a county, district, prefecture. So far I've been able to get it right in businesses shipping forms, but it does cause some uncertainties.

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

Unfortunately, I spent a lot of time solving the delivery problem. Customer service agents should be more competent in matters concerning services. I received completely different information regarding the same issue. But in any case, after many days, we finally solved the problem. I am not sure that I will use this delivery service in the future. Unfortunately

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!

I've shipped from multiple countries around the world and have purchased from many online stores in the UK, all of which were less than a third of the cost. When payment was due after being made to pay for repackaging (which was actually very good) the price went up over 20% which was already high. They also charged me for multiple items instead of one, after notifying them about this they said they would change that which the did back to single item but price remained the same.
I will never use them again and recommend you don't either

Hi Shaun,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We understand your concerns regarding shipping costs. Since you're shipping perfumes or fragrances, there are additional surcharges applied by DHL. These products are classified as dangerous goods due to their chemical composition, often containing flammable ingredients like alcohol. To ensure safe transportation, strict regulations are in place, and surcharges are applied when shipping such items with DHL. For more details, you can check the list of surcharges on the DHL website http://www.dhl.co.uk/en/express/shipping/shipping_advice/surcharges.html.

Since you're shipping to Australia, we also need to charge the 10% GST (Goods and Services Tax). This applies to all goods valued at $1000 AUD or less, as well as on the shipping service itself. For goods over $1000, GST is charged upon import. If you're a registered Australian business with GST approval, you can add your account details to your Forward2me profile to avoid being charged for GST on shipping.

We hope this clears things up!

Many thanks,
Forward2me

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/

With regards to this review, I believe you have agreed to shown your names, here is the link for Trustpilot. https://support.trustpilot.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000253548-Where-will-my-reviews-be-displayed

We value your feedback and are committed to improving our service based on your experience. If you have any further questions or need assistance with any issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We want to ensure that your experience with us meets your expectations.

Many thanks,

The process worked ordering the item and it was delivered to my Forward2Me address in Germany.
I chose UPS as the courier as they said it would be delivered to my address in England in 3-5 working days. It actually took double that time. It seemed to spend a week in Poland.
I cannot hold Forward2Me responsible for the delay.
