Parcel service in the world hands down
We completely understand how stressful it can be when a parcel contains items that are personally important or sentimental, so we're really pleased to hear that our team was able to step in, resolve the issue quickly, and give you peace of mind.
It's fantastic to know that you've been using forward2me for the past 6–7 months and that you've had such a positive experience with our service. We'll be sure to share your kind words with the team member who helped you.
Thank you for choosing forward2me, and we look forward to continuing to support your future shipments.

We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the shipping cost.
From your comments, it appears your shipment contained perfume, which is classified as Dangerous Goods for air transport. These shipments must comply with strict IATA regulations, including the use of approved packaging, additional hazard labels, and specific documentation. In many cases, parcels also need to be repacked into a larger carton to ensure all required labels can be displayed correctly and safely.
We understand that these requirements can significantly increase the shipping cost. To help customers make an informed decision before shipping, we provide a dedicated perfume shipping quote on our website, which includes the additional Dangerous Goods handling charges.
We'd also like to clarify that we do not add a markup to courier charges. The shipping costs we quote reflect the courier's fees, along with any mandatory Dangerous Goods handling required to transport these items safely and legally.
We appreciate your feedback and will continue looking for ways to make our pricing and shipping requirements as clear as possible for customers.

What I appreciated: the flag was explained rather than just asserted, all costs were disclosed before anything was invoiced, and the replies were prompt and clear throughout. Shipping anything bulky to Iceland is normally painful and wildly expensive — this was neither. Parcel is booked and awaiting collection now.

We're also glad our communication was prompt, transparent, and helpful throughout the process. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we appreciate you choosing Forward2Me. We look forward to assisting you again.

Attenzione ai costi stimati di spedizione, al momento del preventivo mi è stato comunicato un costo di circa 50€.
Arrivato l’oggetto al loro magazzino mi hanno costretto a re-imballare il pacco, aumentandone dimensione e peso, facendomi scattare (senza possibilità di scelta) nella fascia di costo più alta.
L’assistenza clienti è molto gentile, ma tergiversano parecchio, rispondendo a mail importanti dopo alcuni giorni….
Ottimo servizio, ma da rivedere ASSOLUTAMENTE la trasparenza verso il cliente.

I’d like to clarify why the **repackaging option was required**. Repackaging is not intended to create an unnecessary additional step or charge. Our warehouse team assesses parcels based on their dimensions, packaging condition, and whether the existing packaging is suitable for international transportation. If a parcel is flagged as having an irregular size or packaging that cannot safely accommodate the outbound shipping label, the system may require it to go through our repackaging process.
Repackaging allows our warehouse team to:
* Check that the contents are securely packaged for international transit.
* Reduce unnecessary packaging or excess dimensions where possible.
* Ensure the parcel can be safely labelled and processed by the selected courier.
* Potentially reduce the **volumetric weight**, which can affect the shipping cost.
I completely understand your frustration after seeing that there were already **426 parcels ahead of yours in the repackaging queue**. We appreciate that this is particularly disappointing when you were expecting to send a single item that was already packaged and ready to go.
Regarding the shipping price, international courier rates are unfortunately not directly comparable with what a private sender may pay when shipping through a different service or account. The price shown in your Forward2me account is based on the courier service available to us, the shipment's origin and destination, the parcel's actual/volumetric weight, and the applicable courier surcharges. That said, we understand why the cost may have come as a surprise.
We also apologise for the delay in initially registering your parcel. We understand that having to contact us to report the parcel as missing, followed by the subsequent repackaging requirement and queue, made the overall experience much more frustrating than it should have been.
We genuinely appreciate your feedback, and I’m sorry we did not provide the smooth first experience you expected. We will also review why the parcel was classified as requiring repackaging, as well as the handling delay, to make sure the process was applied correctly.

We sincerely apologise for the delay in sending your Japan shipment and for the inconvenience this caused, especially as the timing meant your friend had already travelled by the time the parcel was dispatched. We also understand your concern that the returned parcel has still not appeared in your account. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.
We would very much like the opportunity to investigate both matters and understand exactly what has happened. If you could please contact our Customer Experience team with your account details and any relevant shipment references, we can review the history of the missing Guernsey item and trace the returned Japan shipment to determine where it currently is and what happened.
We’re genuinely sorry for the frustration and disappointment this experience has caused, and we appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention.

I tested them with on Germany-UK service, one item first, 3 after and 15 parcels combined and repacked...I received the parcel exactly how I need it: clean and very safe packed.
I'm very glad I found them.
Very good and clear communication, on website and email. Their customer service is one of the best i interacted lately, they respond to your query excluding templates and personalizing the responses.
They have fair prices on their services, helping indirectly my business and I consider it already my collaborator.
Well done guys! And thank you!
It’s fantastic to know that you’ve been happy with our communication and personalised customer service. Hearing that you already consider us a collaborator in supporting your business truly means a lot to our team.

We understand your frustration, particularly as you contacted us in advance and were advised that the warehouse team may be able to initially cover the customs charges and that you could reimburse us afterwards. We appreciate that this understandably led you to expect that your parcel would be accepted upon delivery.
Unfortunately, the customs charges for your shipment required payment in cash at the time of delivery, and our warehouse was unable to make this payment on your behalf. We acknowledge that this was not clearly communicated to you beforehand, and we sincerely apologise for the confusion and inconvenience this caused.
Moving forward, we cannot guarantee that our warehouse will have cash available to pay these charges on your behalf. If the courier requires cash payment upon delivery and the charges cannot be settled, the parcel may be refused and returned to the sender.
To avoid any delays or issues with delivery, we recommend arranging for any applicable customs charges to be paid in advance where possible, or selecting a delivery service that allows duties and taxes to be prepaid.
Thank you for your understanding.

More than 3 WEEKS to finish a consolidation!
More than 10 days to answer to a ticket!
On top of that, they lost a video game and I had to wait 1 more month to get compensation for that
If you want to have peace of mind CHOOSE ANOTHER FORWARD COMPANY!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are truly sorry to hear about your experience with our USA warehouse, as well as the delays you faced with your consolidation request, ticket responses, and the missing item claim. We hold ourselves to a much higher standard, and we acknowledge that our processing and communication turn-around times fell far short of your expectations—and our own. While we are glad our team was able to process compensation for the missing item, we completely understand your frustration regarding how long the overall process took.
Your feedback has been escalated directly to our operations and customer experience management teams so we can address these bottlenecks and operational errors. Although we regret losing your business, we appreciate the opportunity to learn from this and improve our service.
We wish you all the best with your future shipping needs.

My experience with Forward2Me in Japan and Nica in Customer experience fall into this category.
I ordered some Pilot fountain pens and some Iroshizuku inks from Amazon in Japan. There are much cheaper in Japan rather than buying in the UK, however Amazon will not ship direct.
The initial part of the transaction, from setting up the account with Forward2Me and then Amazon shipping to my “account” were flawless. Instruction Forward2Me to then ship onto me initially was also flawless. But, there was a problem with the paperwork they provided and DHL in Tokyo put the shipment on hold asking for Material Safety Data Sheets, and then requiring a change to the waybill showing that the inks were safe for air travel. Of course they are, but paperwork must be correct.
Unfortunately, despite Nica’s interventions, this revised requirement was not met in time by Forward2Me and the items were returned from DHL back to my account at Forward2Me. After further conversations and with Nica’s and Forward2Me’s to figure out exactly what paperwork was needed for the next delivery attempt was fast. From leaving Forward2Me in Tokyo to arriving in Wales at the delivery address was just 48 hours.
So, at the beginning of this review I mentioned how well do the systems and people work when things don't work is, for me, an important measure of a business's teams. My experience with Nica, and Forward 2Me is that they are capable of working to resolve an unusual problem. In an ideal world, it would have been resolved before being returned to Forward2Me from DHL, thus saving several days. However, I am grateful to both Nica and the team at Forward2Me for working together to resolve this for me, and I will happily use them in the future.
We completely agree that the real test of a service is how a team responds when things don't go according to plan. While we're sorry that the initial paperwork issue caused delays and resulted in your shipment being returned to our Japan warehouse, we're very pleased that Nica and the team were able to work with you to understand the requirements, resolve the issue, and get your shipment safely delivered to Wales within 48 hours.
We'll be sure to share your feedback with Nica, as we're sure she'll be delighted to know how much you appreciated her support. Thank you again for your patience and for choosing Forward2me. We look forward to helping you again in the future!

My issue was, I picked their service for a package to be received by them cause I couldn't place the order and set my own real address, region wasn't available.
After my package arrived to their warehouse, the Last-Mile carrier left the package right outside the building, in the mail-box. I believe this happened cause the warehouse was closed (On Sunday). And somehow they didn't find any package for me with the said Tracking number(s).
Yet they did not leave me alone, they explained to me what happened to my package, they tried to find it and no success.
So kind from them, they offered me a nice option, a refund of the item's value, fully.
Even though I don't or cannot blame them, and the fact I was left behind by all the other partners associated (Such the last-mile carrier!), I got the refund by Forward 2 Me, and I'm more than satisfied after all.
I may have been upset cause I waited very long as it was a pre order plaved since May and only received updates early July, but after this kind offer I can say Forward 2 Me US's Honey team has done their job to the maximum, one of the best services I ever had in my life!
Thanks 🍯 !
We're genuinely sorry that your pre-order journey ended with the last-mile carrier leaving your parcel outside our warehouse when we were closed. We understand how disappointing that must have been, especially after waiting since May for your item to finally arrive.
Although the circumstances were outside of our control, we believe that great customer service means taking ownership wherever we can. We're delighted that Honey kept you informed throughout the investigation and was able to find a resolution that left you satisfied.
For future shipments, we'd also recommend choosing a delivery service that operates during normal business hours wherever possible. Mainstream couriers such as FedEx, UPS and DHL are generally the best option, as they typically deliver while our warehouse is open. If available, selecting a signature-on-delivery service also helps ensure your parcel is handed directly to a member of our warehouse team rather than being left unattended. We also recommend avoiding delivery options that may attempt delivery outside of business hours, such as evenings, Sundays or public holidays.
At forward2me, we know that international shopping is built on trust. Whether it's providing customers with a delivery address overseas, helping locate missing parcels or resolving unexpected issues, our goal is always to make the experience as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
Thank you once again for your recommendation and for recognising Honey's dedication. We'll be sure to share your wonderful feedback with her and the entire US team. We look forward to helping you shop from around the world again soon.

The mirror weighed almost 30 kg and arrived in Norway without a single scratch. This was only possible because of the outstanding work done in repackaging and securing the mirror, ensuring it was protected throughout the journey.
In addition, the customer service was friendly and professional. I received great support from Wens in the UK, who was knowledgeable, helpful, and efficient throughout the process.
Thank you for making what could have been a stressful shipment such a smooth and successful experience. I highly recommend your services.
Ro Ro from Norway
We're delighted to hear that your mirror arrived safely in Norway and in perfect condition. Shipping larger, heavier, and fragile items internationally requires careful preparation, and our warehouse teams take great care to ensure items are properly assessed, repackaged, and protected for their journey.
We're especially pleased that Wens was able to support you throughout the process and provide the friendly, professional service we strive for. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him and the wider UK team.

Having reviewed your case, we understand that, while a replacement item was successfully received, our communication during the process did not provide the reassurance and clarity you were looking for. After the original vase arrived damaged, we appreciate that you simply wanted confirmation that the replacement had been checked, was in good condition, and was safe to ship.
We also recognise that there were delays in responding to your queries and that your repack took longer than expected due to a higher-than-usual processing queue at the time. We understand how frustrating this would have been, and we apologise that our communication did not better support you throughout the process.
With regard to the shipping cost, the original estimate was based on the information initially provided. Once the parcel arrived at our warehouse, the final shipping cost was calculated using the actual packed dimensions and weight. As the replacement vase was repacked with additional protective packaging to help ensure it travelled safely, the parcel dimensions increased slightly, which affected the final shipping cost.
I will be contacting you directly to discuss your experience. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve the experience for all of our customers.
Package delivery was quick, I felt like I had a pretty good idea of what the final pay would be, the delivery options were good, I was even able to pay my duties early. 10/10
