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.

Once re packaged, the cost tripled! There was no estimate of the cost of shipping prior to choosing the option of repackaging and you can't undo it!
Hi Amin,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
When you submit a repack request, we provide an estimated price range based on the current weight and dimensions of your package.
In this instance, I see that you requested a repack for safety reasons. It's important to note that while we aim to minimize dimensions during repacking, ensuring the package's safety might result in an increase in size. This, can lead to a higher shipping fee.
The benefit of safety repacking is that it helps protect your goods from potential damage during international shipping. By ensuring that your items are securely packaged and compliant with courier requirements, we aim to deliver your shipment in excellent condition, giving you peace of mind.
We appreciate your understanding, as protecting your goods is always our top priority.

This was the first time I used this service. They were brilliant. My items arrived at the hub and were repackaged and I chose what shipping service I would like. Both Forward2me and the Shipping company kept me informed all the way with email messages until my package was delivered safely. Excellent Service.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're happy to hear that your experience with us was a positive one. It’s great to know that our repackaging service and communication kept you informed every step of the way. We look forward to serving you again in the future.

Unfortunately after a good experience I had two very bad ones.
First time everything went smoothly, my packages arrived to their warehouse and were forwarded to me in very fast times.
Second experience was from their USA warehouse and it took more than 1 week to make them ship my package… continuous emails, but I always received the same answer: the warehouse has a lot of backlog sorry you have to wait
Now again. Packages in my UK warehouse. Ok it’s Christmas holidays time but if you promise a 24/48 hours timeframe to ship you can’t make your customers wait 10 days or more.
The answer of their customer care is always that they are working hard and have a backlog and you just have to wait patiently.
I ship mobile phones and they require an extra step for lithium battery items (with other forwarding services the procedure is easier). You have to contact them via mail and tell them you really want to ship the packages (I find it strange and they could handle this thing easier with a box to check or something similar).
Anyway… they answer you that it’s ok and you have to wait for them to repack your items for a few and then they will send you a manual invoice to pay.
I asked for shipping on the 24th of December and today (3rd of January morning) nothing happened.
I understand every possible excuse (Christmas, holidays, backlog) but it is not acceptable to wait more than a week in order to have a package forwarded. Definitely my last shipping with them.
Update #1: They contacted me via emai. They’re sorry for taking so long and promised to ship the packages promptly without any charge, which is actually really appreciated. Let’s see what happens now, I’ll keep updating the review.
Update #2: in less than 24 hours they solved the problem and shipped the packages. I appreciate that they took seriously the review and solved the problem, and I also appreciate that they shipped the package completely for free.
I still don’t like and don’t understand why I had to make this review in order to be considered and helped.

I used the service twice and was deeply disappointed by the outrageous pricing. The experience was frustrating, the service was also very bad, and the cost was simply unreasonable. I definitely won’t order from them again.
Thank you for your feedback!
I see that your shipment did not take advantage of our repack savings. Your item was shipped with an actual weight of 0.72 kg, but the dimensions of the package are 56x47x11 cm. When we calculate the volumetric weight, which takes into account both the size and weight of the package, it comes out to 5.79 kg.
Volumetric weight is used by couriers to determine the shipping cost based on the amount of space the package occupies rather than just its physical weight. In this case, because the volumetric weight (5.79 kg) is higher than the actual weight (0.72 kg), the shipping cost is based on the volumetric weight, which results in a higher shipping fee.
If your item had been repacked to reduce its size, we could have lowered the volumetric weight, potentially saving on shipping costs. If you'd like to explore this option in the future, please let us know!

This is the first time I have used the services of Forward2me's Japanese office and I am very satisfied with their performance. I had items sent from Amazon.jp to the address I was previously assigned by Forward2me for deliveries within Japan. Forward2me's homepage is very well structured and kept me informed about the status of my shipment at all times. The fees charged by Forward2me are fair and adequate. The shipment with DHL Express was sufficiently well packaged and reached me in Austria within just under five working days. The contact with the customer agent Nica was very nice and she answered all my questions very quickly and competently. I was definitely impressed by Forward2me's work and I will definitely use their services again.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re happy to hear that you were satisfied with our services and that everything went smoothly from Japan to Austria.

If you are intending to use this company’s services for importation into Australia – THEN DON’T. Be aware that goods imported into Australia with a value at or below $1,000 AUD (not including tobacco or alcohol) are classified as “low value goods” and DO NOT attract any taxation charges.
I purchased an item valued considerably under the threshold for delivery to Australia. To my complete surprise I received my shipping quotation with charges for GST and also a further administrative charge almost equivalent of the GST. Despite several emails in which I advised Forward2Me of their mistake and provided evidence from the Australian Taxation website of the parameters, they continued with their insistence for these extra fees.
I was informed that their system was automatic and the fees could not be removed, they advised that their system only recognised shipments over $1,000 AUD. When I asked for a credit against the incorrect fees, it was also firmly rejected.
It was a case of pay all of their fees or the goods would not be released for transit. They also only provided one option of transport company which was expensive. Then to top it off, the address they put on the package was incomplete and I am still waiting for delivery!
I have subsequently telephoned the ATO to inform them of Forward2Me and their practice of incorrectly applying GST.

Thanks for the feedback Heather. Unfortunately the ATO (Australian Tax Office) is very clear - we must collect and remit Australian GST on Low Value Imported Goods.
You can read more on the ATO website here:
https://www.ato.gov.au/businesses-and-organisations/international-tax-for-business/gst-on-imported-goods-and-services/gst-on-low-value-imported-goods
The ATO site also has a very clear example from what they refer to as a "redeliverer":
https://www.ato.gov.au/businesses-and-organisations/international-tax-for-business/gst-on-imported-goods-and-services/how-to-charge-gst/if-you-are-a-redeliverer
Having read through this, if you still feel there is an issue, please contact us again with links to the relevant legislation which shows GST should not be collected in your case and we will take a look.

Had small mixup with the customs fees I had paid upfront, not registering when the package arrived in my country. But the issue was quickly resolved by german warehouse employee Aimee who contacted UPS to resolve the issue and I received my package without a delay.
Thanks for the feedback Páll and thanks for trying out the new DDP shipping option!
Our DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) shipping options are new and not commonly available from parcel forwarding companies. Customs in some countries have no problem with it. In other countries they seem to be a little slower to adapt. We are hopeful that things will become smoother as more customs officers in more countries become aware of how duty and taxes are handled with DDP shipments.

As a follow-up with even more parcels, these people seem to want items to get seized at customs?
They’re going on about the new customs declaration procedures for Europe and the United Kingdom.
But when I tried to describe an item once it goes to the warehouse, it automatically just describes it and raise the option to even override what the person who has booked. The parcel into the system has described it as which is very very off even when before the shipment has arrived, and it is manually described with the tracking number, the agent will just override it and put a very vague description with not even the retailers name on it. .
This is obviously going to get thrown straight out of customs or going to be a very big headache
It never used to be like this as in July year 2024 it was very simple. You could just edit the title of the item, even just before shipping it but now it’s all grade out.
For example, Apple iPad 2, 2011 $20 gift
This would be VAT exempt and pose no risk to customs
They’ve written is just Ipad
And because it’s valued at $20, this is going to raise ultra big suspicion as they don’t know what this is
And they seem to be controlling what you can even title it as
This is just one example, there is also another one as well
I have an iPhone 13 promax sealed, which I was sending
I manually described this one before it entered the warehouse with a tracking number
But as soon as it got booked into the warehouse and new title was assigned
iPhone 13 Pro Max
When the title I was assigning
iPhone 13 pro Max 128GB spectrum locked
And I also specified Ebay, but again, when the agent booked it in no retail that was specified
Just confirming when you try and change the title it’s literally grade out and it’s impossible to change what the agent has put
It wasn’t like that A, few months ago

ICS2 is required for all shipments transiting via any EU country even if the final destination is not a part of the EU.
This means all customers sending goods from the EU and packages going to the EU must "upload invoices/proof of purchase" from the retailer as necessary documentation to confirm the package contents, aiding in the efficiency of our procedures. Clear, precise, and comprehensive descriptions are necessary under ICS2.
I no purchase invoice please " Describe" Options under Incoming Parcel. Fill your purchase invoice details about your order manually.
I agree that a vague description like "iPad" or "iPhone 13 Pro Max" without the additional specifics could raise suspicion at customs. It’s important that the details, including value, retailer, and specific model information, are clearly stated to prevent delays or seizures.
In the meantime, please continue to provide as much detailed information as possible when booking the items, and feel free to reach out to us directly if you encounter any issues. We will do our best to work with customs and prevent any unnecessary seizures.
Thank you for your patience, and please let me know if you need any further assistance with specific shipments.

I agree that a vague description like "iPad" or "iPhone 13 Pro Max" without the additional specifics could raise suspicion at customs. It’s important that the details, including value, retailer, and specific model information, are clearly stated to prevent delays or seizures.
In the meantime, please continue to provide as much detailed information as possible when booking the items, and feel free to reach out to us directly if you encounter any issues. We will do our best to work with customs and prevent any unnecessary seizures.
Thank you for your patience, and please let me know if you need any further assistance with specific shipments.

Best proxy shipping service of all time! I have ordered from overseas and the package came impeccable, even if I didn’t ask for any extra packaging. It was also pretty fast too, and the shipping prices are very reasonable compared to other services. I have placed a few more orders with them, and I can’t wait to get them soon! I will always resort to them when shopping from the states!

Forward2Me makes it so incredibly easy to order items from different countries and have them shipped directly to you. The user interface and website are incredibly user friendly so anybody can do it! Their customer service is also very helpful and responsive. I had an issue with one of my packages but representative Nica from the Japan warehouse responded to my messages in a very timely manner, providing friendly, courteous and wonderful service. She went above and beyond to help me with my situation and I can't thank her enough. Overall, I highly recommend forward2me to anyone!
That's wonderful to hear! Thank you for sharing your experience with us and 5 star review for Nica ❤️

Have been using Forward2me now since the beginning of 2024. I was a bit dubious at first as there are all sorts of “so-called” companies out there, but after reading the reviews and a lot of time thinking about it I thought I’d take my chances. It was a bit scary at first, not knowing what to do, but after getting in touch with them by phone and through emails and also the F.A.Q. section, I finally managed to get my shipment sent from the USA warehouse to here in the U.K. I was surprised how smoothly it all went. It took just over a week to receive my package. Undamaged and perfect! Have now ordered from Pandora in the U.S. again this week. Needed a bit of assistance from Windy, and she was very helpful and friendly She got my problem sorted in less than a day. Thank You Windy! Now I’m all ready to get my next shipment sent to me. I highly recommend using Forward2me for any online shopping abroad. I can now get exclusive Pandora pieces that are not available here in the U.K.
Thank You so much Windy for all your support. You have helped me out so much.

Package arrived before the afternoon on Monday.
Should have been processed before the end of the day, but apparently due to peak season, there was some backing, which again, it’s not very good for these tough companies to say.
They should’ve hired extra team members to HELP, rather than passing onto the Customer to deal with>
It took basically 72 hours to get procesed
Only to then find out it needs to be repackaged as there was a brand-new, iPhone inside
Rather than quickly, alerting me, and having it quickly whole 24 hours to do it. Total is taking over 4 days.
Only to be charged almost almost double VAt should be
As they seem to be charging duties as well as taxes which is incorrect
Let’s say 390 into pounds, it’s £311 roughly 20% of that again is roughly £62 back into dollars roughly 77
Well, I was asked me to pay $131 in so-called duty and tax plus an additional $5 for their processing for this
When I should’ve been paying, $77 plus the $5 per processing
And there’s no option for a weekend service to get it on the weekend delivered
Then we have terrible customer services lines. The people are extremely helpful and fantastic And do the upmost best>
To even reach them is almost a mission, and a half the Whatsaap could take several hours to even get a response.
And the telephone line 99% of the time the robot will just say there are no support agents to take your call before you can even get anywhere and sometimes you’ll get as far as the old music and then have the same message. This is most of the time when I call, so basically it’s very hard to get hold of anyone. I know you could say Christmas is an excuse but to be honest hiring external staff and speeding up things would be fine. There are ways of mitigating errors but this is no excuse because of Christmas holidays.
Overall, they’ve gone about 100 times worse since I last used them in July I don’t think this new warehouse is any good made it worse
And course complications as one of my parcels had delayed shipment up, going to the previous USA warehouse And is now subsequently lost as it’s delivered on Monday at the same time but to the old warehouse and it’s now Thursday and there’s no sign of it so I’m now had to report it as missing

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your detailed feedback.
I sincerely apologize for the delay in processing your package. While we aim to process all packages the same day they arrive, the peak season has created an unexpected backlog. We acknowledge this shouldn't affect our customers, and we are actively reviewing our staffing to mitigate such delays in the future.
Regarding the need for repackaging due to the inclusion of a high-value item like an iPhone, I apologize for the additional time taken. We understand how frustrating the delay was and will work on improving our notification process to expedite such matters in the future.
I’m sorry to hear about the difficulties you faced in reaching our support team. While our WhatsApp and telephone lines have been under higher demand recently, we are actively working on improving response times by scaling our support team.
Your concern regarding the transition to the new warehouse and the missing package is valid. We are reviewing the situation with your shipment to the old warehouse. Please rest assured, we will locate the parcel or process a resolution for you, including compensation if applicable.

Customer Satisfaction Team.

Ich habe gestern mein Paket von Forward2Me aus Preston UK bekommen. Ich habe mich dazu entschieden mehrere Pakete zu kombinieren, und da es sich um wertvolle und zerbrechliche Gegenstände handelte, war ich echt mehr als glücklich darüber zu sehen wie toll und vor allen Dingen sicher alles verpackt wurde.
Ein besonderer dank gilt auch Joyce, die mir bei meinen Fragen und Anliegen immer schnell und on point geholfen hat.

I ordered a few perfumes from the UK. Since I live in Austria, shipping was difficult and a friend recommended Forward2me to me.
I have to be honest, I was a bit skeptical at first. But then I made an account anyway. It was all very easy and there was no difficulty!
Forward2me then received the shipment quickly.
Because it was perfumes, the shipment had to be made by land. Unfortunately, I could only choose very expensive express deliveries and so I contacted customer support. Joyce then managed everything for me. Organized much cheaper shipping and I was able to pay the duties&taxes in advance at my request.
However, I would not recommend this to customers in Austria! Because duties&taxes can simply be paid to the shipping service provider upon receipt of the shipment. Unfortunately I didn't know that and I thought it would save me time to pay for it straight away. Unfortunately, this caused me a lot of trouble. DHL did not want to recognize the duties&taxes that had already been paid and did not want to deliver the package to me without paying again. So I contacted customer support, Joyce, again. The contact via Whatsapp worked perfectly and she was extremely helpful and committed! Joyce then sorted everything out for me in the laborious contact with DHL and I didn't have to worry about a thing! Great customer service that is rarely found anywhere else these days! I can only recommend Forward2me to everyone, even if it doesn't seem so cheap at first glance! It was worth it!

We understand the importance of getting your shipment to you safely, and we’d like to provide further information regarding the nature of the goods and how this affects the shipping process.
The control cabinet weighs approximately 70 kg, and due to its size and weight, it is unlikely that it can be safely handled by an individual without the appropriate equipment. In the EU, strict regulations exist for the manual handling of heavy items (70 kg or more), which require specialized equipment and trained personnel.
Even without a pallet, the size and weight of the cabinet present significant challenges for both lifting and transport. There is no standard courier service that can safely handle such a shipment, and shipping the item without proper packaging could lead to potential liability issues. We could even face legal consequences from couriers if we attempt to ship the item without adhering to safety and packaging protocols.
Additionally, considering the cabinet’s bulk, there is a high risk of damage during the loading process, even with careful handling.
The pallet method is the safest and most practical for handling items of this size and weight, which is why the cabinet was originally shipped this way.
We understand that you have a preference for shipping your goods off the pallet, but we must emphasize that, for safety and compliance reasons, this is not a feasible option. As much as we want to meet your needs, it’s crucial that we adhere to necessary procedures to ensure safe handling and to comply with regulations.
We appreciate your understanding and are here to assist you in finding the best solution for your shipment.
