I paid the consolidation fee to combine two packages (one 10 kg, one 12 kg). Before dispatch, I explicitly contacted customer support because the final shipping weight only showed 10 kg. Your team explicitly assured me that everything was safely packed inside.
The box just arrived and as expected, the 12 kg package is completely missing. Your warehouse worker marked both items as "consolidated and dispatched" on my dashboard, effectively erasing the missing 12 kg item from my account history while leaving it sitting on your warehouse floor.
This is a severe warehouse error and a breach of paid service. I need a manager to manually audit the heavy item/oversize bays at the UK warehouse immediately to locate my 12 kg package. Do not reply with a generic automated copy-paste response. Contact me asap and fix this.

I am disabled, extremely poorly, and have been mostly housebound for the past 2 years. The item they are holding is a mobility aid that is finally going to give me some freedom back, and I desperately need it delivered by ASAP to provide me some freedom, but particularly need it before the 15th of October as I'm going on my first holiday in years. Instead of helping, dealing with Forward2Me has completely drained what little energy I have.
There is zero transparency with their pricing, which operates on a bait-and-switch model. I only went ahead with them because their website base freight estimate was around $204. They later confirmed an $86.81 FedEx Dangerous Goods surcharge, which brings the expected total to roughly $290. Instead, I was given a vague quote over the phone of £400 (approx. $520) with absolutely zero explanation for the missing $230+ gap. Two months later, they still outright refuse to provide an itemised, written quote breaking down these hidden charges.
Worse yet, they are actively attempting to override the manufacturer's safety and engineering certifications. The manufacturer engineered, tested, and factory-sealed this device, certifying it compliant with UN 3481 PI 967 Section I. The manufacturer has explicitly warned that opening this package and altering the battery connections will compromise the unit's operational safety and completely void the warranty on my medical device. Forward2Me has arrogantly decided to override this, claiming they must reclassify it as UN 3556 (Vehicle) and insisting that opening and repacking the factory-sealed box is "required." They are fully prepared to destroy the warranty on a disabled person's expensive medical equipment just to tick their own internal boxes, while refusing to accept financial liability for doing so.
Their customer service is just as terrible. Despite claiming their service is UK-based, they do not list phone hours on their website. I have had to call multiple times a day just to get through. When I finally spoke to an agent and asked for my actual postal options after being told a supervisor was unavailable, the line mysteriously disconnected. They never called back. After finally forcing an escalation, instead of a supervisor calling me to resolve this urgently, I received a cold, procedural email from a standard agent that completely ignored all of my core questions about the hidden fees and the voided warranty.
To add insult to injury, their "goodwill gesture" for two months of delays, hidden fees, broken callback promises, and severe distress was a measly 20% discount on the shipping - which doesn't even come close to covering the unexplained $230+ they tacked onto the quote.
My storage days are running out, the October 15th deadline is looming, and I have no idea how I am going to get my essential equipment to the UK. Let me be clear: if they force this package open against manufacturer instructions and the item arrives damaged or non-operational with a voided warranty, I will be holding them completely financially liable.
It is a despicable way to run a business. Actively preventing a severely ill, disabled person from accessing the medical equipment they desperately need while playing games with hidden fees and voiding warranties is unforgivable. Do yourself a favour and use literally anyone else.

I had an excellent experience with Forward2me, especially thanks to NICA, who assisted me throughout the entire process of getting a package from the UK delivered to Hungary.
There were some complications along the way, but Nica was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, patient, and professional from start to finish. She followed up on the shipment, helped coordinate everything, and genuinely made an effort to find solutions whenever an issue came up.
After quite a journey, the package finally arrived safely in Hungary, and I really appreciate how much Nica helped throughout the process.
Outstanding customer service — Nica is an absolute star and a huge credit to Forward2me. Highly recommended!

In this case, the paperwork related to requirements from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), which oversees the safety requirements for certain products imported into the United States. The importer is responsible for providing the required information or, where applicable, confirming that the goods are exempt.
As Forward2me does not own or supply the goods, we are not able to complete or certify this information on the customer's behalf. We appreciate that this may have been frustrating, particularly when the original retailer had only shipped the goods to our UK address and was not the US importer.
We understand that this experience has been frustrating and may affect your decision to use our UK warehouse in the future. We appreciate you sharing your feedback.

My package is coming from the UK warehouse, and so far the whole process has been easy and straightforward. I’ll update my review once the package arrives and I’ve completed the forwarding process.
UPDATE:
Package delivered! The service works well, but keep in mind that the final cost can increase significantly due to unexpected repacking fees, courier charges, and customs fees.
I ended up spending muuuch more than I had originally expected, but the item I purchased was absolutely needed as a gift. Despite the additional costs, Forward2me was very useful and helped me get an item that I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to purchase easily.

During the repacking process, the original SEGA 7502 carton and original seals were removed, which was particularly disappointing because the original packaging was an important part of the item's collectible value.
After I raised my complaint, Aimee and Jhe took the time to review the situation carefully and escalated the matter to management. They listened to my concerns, considered the evidence I provided and ultimately reached a fair and amicable resolution, including a €250 compensation payment.
I particularly appreciate that Forward2me also added an alert to my account to ensure that original manufacturer and collectible packaging is preserved for my future shipments.
Although the initial situation was frustrating, I believe good customer service should also be judged by how a company responds when something goes wrong. In this case, Aimee and Jhe handled the resolution professionally and restored my confidence in the service.
Thank you Aimee, Jhe and the Forward2me team for taking my complaint seriously and resolving the matter satisfactorily.
We’re pleased that Aimee and Jhe were able to listen to your concerns and work with you towards a resolution that you were happy with. We’ll also make sure your kind words are passed on to them.
Thank you for being a Forward2me customer for several years and for giving us the opportunity to put things right.

I have been a regular Forward2me customer for quite some time and have already spent a substantial amount of money on their forwarding services. For that reason, I was disappointed with how this particular case was initially handled.
A very small parcel unexpectedly arrived at the Forward2me Germany warehouse several months after the original purchase. Since I was going to be in Germany anyway, I asked whether the parcel could simply be sent to my mother’s address within Germany. I even purchased and provided the DHL shipping label myself.
As a long-standing customer, I had expected this small exceptional request to be handled as a gesture of goodwill, especially since Forward2me only had to prepare the parcel and hand it over to DHL. Instead, the process became unnecessarily complicated and required repeated follow-ups from my side.
What concerned me most was that I was initially charged more than €150 in storage fees, even though I had only been notified about the parcel around two weeks earlier and the original Forward2me notification itself stated that storage was free for 30 days.
These storage charges were not identified and removed proactively. I had to point out the issue myself before it was reviewed and eventually corrected. I would have expected such a substantial charge to be checked before the invoice was sent to me, rather than leaving it to the customer to notice and challenge it.
I also had to follow up several times throughout the process to get updates and move the case forward. That is probably the biggest area where I think Forward2me could improve: more proactive ownership of unusual cases, better internal checks before invoices are issued, and less need for the customer to chase progress.
That said, I do want to acknowledge the positive side as well. Jus remained polite and helpful throughout the communication and ultimately managed to arrange the domestic shipment and have the incorrect storage fees removed.
After I raised my concerns further, Aimee from the Customer Experience Team also handled my feedback professionally, acknowledged that the case should have been dealt with more proactively and helped restore my confidence in the company.
So while the process itself was more complicated and frustrating than it should have been, I appreciate that Forward2me ultimately took responsibility for the issues and resolved the matter properly.
I hope the company uses this case to improve its internal processes, especially for loyal customers and exceptional situations. The final resolution was good, but ideally the customer should not have to push so hard to get there.
Firstly, I’m sorry that this case took longer to resolve than it should have and that you had to follow up several times to move things forward. In hindsight, we agree that the storage charges should have been reviewed and removed much earlier, particularly given the circumstances of the late delivery and your long-standing relationship with us.
We understand that exceptional cases sometimes require a more flexible approach, and this is an area where we can improve. Better internal communication, more proactive ownership and earlier review of unusual situations are all things we continue to work on.
That said, I’m pleased that Jus was able to assist throughout the process and that Aimee was able to address your concerns and help reach a positive resolution.
We genuinely value your continued support and appreciate both your patience and your constructive feedback. Reviews such as this help us improve our processes and ensure that we provide the level of service our customers expect and deserve.

I purchased an e-bike that was delivered to Forward2me completely unpackaged. They took care of everything and professionally packed the bike into two separate packages—one for the wheels and one for the frame.
Since it was an e-bike, the shipment had to be handled as dangerous goods due to the battery. Forward2me handled the entire process very professionally.
The packaging was excellent—extremely secure, carefully done, and clearly prepared with great attention to detail. The bike arrived safely and everything went smoothly.
I’m extremely satisfied with the service and would definitely use Forward2me again. Highly recommended!
Our warehouse team takes extra care with shipments like e-bikes, especially when the battery requires dangerous goods handling, so it’s wonderful to hear that their attention to detail gave you confidence throughout the process.

My experience with Forward2Me has been good overall. My package arrived at their warehouse quickly, the paid photo request came back fast with clear shots, and I got timely email updates as my package moved through their repack queue.
One thing I'm hoping gets sorted: my package needed their mandatory "Combine & Repack" service after the original packaging was flagged as poor quality by their specialists. I chose "Repack for Safety" specifically to stay eligible for Protect+ insurance — but once the repack was done and the package showed READY, Protect+ was blocked with the message that it's "not available for this request, because it contains a parcel that our specialists advised to be repacked."
I've checked their Terms of Trade and their own "Shipments NOT Eligible for Claims & Protect+" article and can't find this listed as an exclusion anywhere, so it may just be a system glitch rather than intentional. I've emailed twice about it and tried calling, but haven't been able to get a direct answer yet.
Everything else about the process has been smooth, and I'd genuinely like to give this a higher rating — just hoping someone from the team can take a look and help get it sorted.
Update: they have responded and worked on my concern. Thank you forward2me.
Update: issue fully resolved, Protect+ now applied
Updating this after a few more days. The core problem — Protect+ being blocked after my package was flagged for repacking — turned out to be a genuine system glitch on their end: my original repack request had gotten stuck, which was blocking insurance eligibility even though nothing was actually wrong with the package. To their credit, once I pushed on it with documentation, they investigated properly, reproduced the error themselves, escalated it internally, and fixed it. Protect+ is now showing correctly on my shipment.
It took a few days of back-and-forth to get there, and the early support replies didn't always match what I could see on my own account, which was frustrating in the moment. But Jamie on their Customer Experience team stuck with it, kept me updated, and saw it through to an actual fix rather than a brush-off.
Bumping this up because the outcome was right in the end: a real problem, taken seriously, and properly resolved. Would use them again.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and, especially, for updating your review after we were able to work on your concern.
We’re really pleased to hear that your experience has been positive overall, and we genuinely appreciate your patience while we looked into the Protect+ issue. Your feedback is also valuable to us, as it helps us identify where we can improve the process for our customers.
Thank you again for choosing forward2me and for giving us the opportunity to put things right. We really appreciate your support!

We appreciate you highlighting the additional time involved compared with direct shipping. Our forwarding service does involve an intermediate step, but we’re pleased that you found the process clear and the overall shipping cost reasonable.
DHL Express Worldwide
We understand that some items may be accepted by other shipping companies without being classified as dangerous goods. However, dangerous goods regulations and carrier acceptance criteria can vary depending on the product, its contents, packaging, destination, and transportation method. This means an item that another company accepts may still require additional checks, handling, or documentation through our service.
Regarding the shipping cost, dangerous goods shipments can incur additional carrier surcharges and handling fees, which can sometimes make the final shipping cost significantly higher than the item's value. We appreciate that this can be frustrating, particularly when the shipping cost appears disproportionate to the value of the item.
We also apologise if our response times have been longer than expected. We’re continuing to work on improving our response times and appreciate your patience while we review these queries.

Highly recommended if you’re looking for a dependable forwarding service with great customer support!
The dashboard, update emails, etc. all made the process pretty seamless. I liked that I received live quotes for shipping options. It did take a few days for Forward2Me to consolidate my package, but they provided daily updates of where I was in their queue, which was helpful.
I had Forward2Me prepay the customs duties to streamline the process on the way into the US.
The customs duties on my items seemed a little high, but it wasn't worth spending time determining why.
Their fee to handle that process was reasonable.
When Fedex flagged my package as requiring a special form from me (it was a shipment of children's clothes, and there are apparently safety disclosure requirements), Rose from Forward2Me followed up to make sure I'd seen the FedEx request and if I needed assistance.
The package arrived quickly and safely and the experience was excellent from start to finish.
I would not hesitate to use them again if I need anything sent from the UK to the US.
