24 days of my package held at DHL at departure country while your company is not even talking to me or talking to DHL to ship my package
forward2me
Hi Angel,

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm sorry to hear about the delay you're experiencing with your package at DHL.

We have determined that the reason for the delay is due to the detention of the shipment. Unfortunately, this is a situation that is beyond the control of both DHL and Forward2me.

I understand how frustrating this must be for you.

We believe we are now in touch to you.

Many thanks,
Forward2me

product description was wrong.
forward2me
Hi Abdul,

Thanks for the feedback.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

If products descriptions, were added wrong, I would advised to add purchase invoice going forward.

If you are expecting an incoming parcel, it would greatly assist us in ensuring accurate descriptions for each package by uploading the purchase invoices or order summaries associated with them. This allows us to process your parcels efficiently and accurately. Here's how you can do it:

Log in to your account.
Navigate to your Warehouse address.
Select the "Incoming Package" option.
Upload the invoice or order summary corresponding to the parcel.

Additionally, I want to bring to your attention that some of the items you are shipping contain batteries and are classified as dangerous goods when shipped. It is essential to adhere to safety regulations when handling such items to ensure the safety of our personnel and the integrity of the shipment.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the uploading of invoices or the shipping of items containing batteries, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to assist you.

Many thanks,

I’ve used forward to me about 5 times now and each experience has been nothing short of amazing. Stumbling across this company has been a blessing and I cannot stop raving about them to my friends. The service is quick and efficient, their customer service is some of the best I’ve encountered. I presently use their service to purchase goods from the UK but can’t wait to get an address in Japan as well!!! Thank you to everyone in the UK facility, each of the deliveries I receive are packed beautifully, looking forward to many, many more purchases

Hi Jenn,

Ordered a time sensitive item from a German supplier that did not ship to the U.S. I setup my Forward2Me account in 2 minutes and then supplied the UK address to the German vendor.
The package arrived in the UK 3 days later, Forward2Me provided me with shipping options (I choose UPS Global) and I had the item 3 days later.
I would highly recommend this service.

The article with alcohol made things complicated and you have to contact us by email. There is potential for improvement here. Then the high postage costs from DHL spoil it; with DPD it would have been 75% cheaper.
forward2me
Hi Rolf,

Thank you for your feedback.

We are currently working on automating the alcohol shipment process with DHL to streamline the procedure for our customers. Once this is implemented, you will no longer need to contact us via email to request repacking with DHL.

Additionally, it's important to note that DPD cannot transport alcohol shipments to EU countries after Brexit due to regulatory restrictions. This prohibition is within their network's policy.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Many thanks,

Hi Ahmad,

Thanks for the feedback.

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 FedEx) 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.

Your shipment cost is calculated based on the volumetric weight.

Your package actual weight is 1.28 kg and with volumetric weight of 5.83 kg.

At Forward2me, we're dedicated to ensuring your shipping experience is smooth, transparent, and worry-free. To help in such cases we offer two features to all our customers:

Price Match Guarantee: We believe in offering you the best value for your money. If you come across a competitor offering a better price for the same service, we've got you covered. Our Price Match Guarantee ensures that we will match that better price. All you need to do is share the details with us, and we'll take care of the rest. Learn more about this feature https://www.forward2me.com/price-match-guarantee/

Free Return to Sender: If you find that the shipping costs are still higher than expected, even after exploring various options, we have a solution. Our Free Return to Sender service allows you to send the package back to the retailer at no extra cost. It's a hassle-free way to reconsider your purchase without worrying about return expenses. Discover more about this service https://www.forward2me.com/free-return-to-sender/Our primary goal with these features is to provide you with a risk-free shipping experience.

Warm regards,
Forward2me

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the feedback.

We have noticed that you requested a combine and repack service for your package, opting for DHL as the courier.

When you make a request for courier this is preset as DHL when the repack has been done, however, you have the opportunity to ask us to explore various shipping methods. This allows us to provide you with the most cost-effective solution available, ensuring that you receive the best value for your shipping needs.

Please remember that you can always reach out to us whenever you require shipping services. Don't hesitate to ask us to open the courier options for you.

Many thanks,

1. Your website advertised DPD shipping. When the time came to ship it, DPD was unavailable, and I had to use expensive one-day express DHL.
2. Other forwarding companies do not include the shipping price in the customs declaration. Because you included the shipping price in the customs declaration, the total value of goods plus shipping reached the threshold and I had to pay customs tax.

Update:
3. There is no easy way to know up front what shipping options are available for different warehouses. And when your package arrives at the warehouse there is no way back, you have to pay for expensive shipping if there are no cheap options available.

Hi Gramer,

Thanks for the feedback.

Regarding the availability of DPD shipping, we regret any confusion that may have arisen. Please note that DPD shipping is currently only available from our UK warehouse and is limited to shipments destined for France, Germany, and the Netherlands. As you are shipping from our Guernsey warehouse, we regret to inform you that DPD is not an option at this location. However, we do offer expedited shipping services through DHL and FedEx, which are available for your convenience. When checking pricing cost on our website, it's crucial to verify that you have selected the correct warehouse for shipping before finalizing your purchase.

We kindly ask that you double-check the shipping warehouse location listed on our pricing page before proceeding with your order. This will ensure that your goods are dispatched from the most suitable location, optimizing efficiency and reducing transit times.

We have received conflicting information regarding the inclusion of shipping costs on commercial invoices, with some customers insisting on its presence while others claim it is unnecessary. Similarly, couriers have provided differing advice on this matter. While we have been advised that including shipping costs is not mandatory, we acknowledge that customs offices may have varying requirements.

To address this issue and provide you with greater control over your shipments, we have implemented a feature that allows you to choose whether shipping costs appear on the commercial invoice. We understand that individual preferences may vary, and we want to accommodate your specific needs.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to assist you in any way we can.

I registered an account and used the account address when ordering a coffee machine that the web shop did not ship outside of Germany.
A few days later I received a notification that my parcel had arrived at the Forward2me warehouse and I selected a carrier and paid. A few days later my parcel arrived in Stockholm.
Simple as that.

Way too expensive/no reasonable choice between carriers and prices. Never has it cost me almost $200au to deliver a small 1-2kg package from uk to aus and that included unnecessary repacking delays of a week. I expected c$100 - $110au max. The average cost of delivery of small items without forwarding service is $60au, so I did expect FTM to mark up, just not to 98 pounds or c $185au! As this seems to be the norm though, hopefully i will never need to use a forwarding service again.

Hi Jemma,

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm sorry to hear about your disappointment with the cost and service provided.

I have checked you shipped with DHL express with actual weight of 1.79 kg and volumetric weight of 2.92 kg. 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 FedEx ) 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.

As you are shipping to Australia, GST (Goods and Services Tax) are included in our services when shipping. This means that a 10% GST is applied to all goods with a value of $1000 Australian dollars or less that are being shipped via our services. Additionally, a 10% GST is also applied to the shipping fee for the service we provided. Please check this link https://www.ato.gov.au/other-languages/information-in-other-languages/gst/goods-and-services-tax-gst-when-you-sell-to-australia

By including GST in our services, we strive to simplify the shipping process and eliminate any surprises for our customers upon delivery.

If you have any further questions or if there's anything else we can assist you with regarding your shipment, please feel free to let us know. We're here to help and ensure a smooth shipping experience for you.

Many thanks,

I used this service for an Etsy purchase. I'm buying a lot of things for my upcoming wedding and I saw some items on Etsy that only shipped to the UK. I looked up ways to ship to the US, and foward2me looked like the safest bet. Going into it I was a bit hesitant, just because my purchases were so big. But, their customer service team did a great job assuring me that the packages were in safe hands. It only took about 5-6 days to receive my package and that's including shipping from retailer to my UK address. A little pricey but would definitely use again.
