Contacted them before ordering to be sure if perfume charges are bigger, they replied they're 9£ for dangerous goods + 3£ for repackageing. My package was 26x10x11 cm and 0,21kg and then they offered 63£ to ship it. The price kept going up the longer it took them to reply to my questions about what is going on with the inflated pricing. I shipped bigger and bulkier items through them before(collectible HC books), for around 20£. By the time they agreed to give me a discount, the price was over 80£, discount bringing it back to 63£. They waited long enough so I can't even return the package to my seller. The Express 1 work day shipping(the only option) took 5 work days, and while repackaging Forward2Me opened my goods(the security tape missing, one perfume sample half empty). They refused any recompensation for ruining my goods and late shipping except 5£ company credit for the next shipping. I Had to pay 53€ import fees beacause of that shipping price.
Definitely never ordering anything through them ever again. Horribly slow, gaslighting and unprofessional customer service. Scammy!

I used it to forward goods from a company that no longer ships from the UK to Europe and it went very seamless.
There was a hiccup because Royal Mail didn't deliver in 24h and the tracking stated premises weren't accessible, but they ended up being able to deliver after 72h.
To ensure my mind was at ease, I contacted forward2me customer service plenty of times, through WhatsApp, and they were quite quick and clear with very reasonable and kind answers to my questions. The aliases of my contacts were Kyla and Joyce, and I couldn't be happier with their customer care.
I opted for a prepaid customs option and the delivery was quite fast with no hold ups.
I quite recommend the service.
Will be using the service in the future for sure.
Thank you forward2me
We’re delighted to hear that your parcel forwarding experience was smooth and that your delivery reached you safely despite the initial Royal Mail delay.
It’s especially great to hear that Kyla and Joyce were able to provide the quick, clear, and reassuring support you needed through WhatsApp. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with them!
We really appreciate your recommendation and your trust in forward2me. We look forward to helping you with your future shipments!

The issue itself is very straightforward. The package contains eight Victorian-era decorations, yet Forward2me has recorded the quantity as two. A photograph taken at the Forward2me warehouse clearly shows that there are eight items in the package, so I have repeatedly asked for the quantity to be corrected before I consolidate and ship my packages to France.
I have also requested that the correct customs classification be used for the consolidated shipment, as these are genuine 19th-century Victorian decorations, all over 100 years old, and therefore their age and nature need to be correctly reflected in the customs declaration. I have specifically raised HS/CN code 97061000 in my correspondence.
What is particularly frustrating is not that an initial data-entry error was made — mistakes can happen — but the apparent lack of acknowledgement or response despite my repeated attempts to have such a simple and verifiable error corrected.
I do not want to ship the consolidated package internationally with information that I know to be incorrect, particularly when this information may be used for the customs declaration on arrival in France.
Hopefully, posting this publicly will finally result in someone from Forward2me reviewing my previous correspondence, correcting the quantity from 2 to 8, confirming the appropriate customs classification, and responding to me so that I can proceed with the shipment.
I would be very happy to update this review once the matter has been addressed.

Incompetent defining dried banana as food item that has restriction is just incompetence. this applies to private import.
We understand your frustration regarding the additional approval requirement. Our team requested this because food products can be subject to import restrictions, including for private imports, and we have a responsibility to carry out the appropriate checks before accepting goods for international shipment.
In this case, we understand that you have subsequently received written confirmation from Danish Customs that the dried banana product is not subject to a specific prohibition or regulation and may be imported. We are happy to take this information into account when reviewing the shipment.
Our checks are intended to prevent customers from experiencing issues with customs after their parcel has been shipped, rather than to unnecessarily restrict items. We appreciate that, in this instance, the additional check may have caused frustration and we will review the information provided.

Having reviewed the circumstances, we can see that the parcel arrived at our warehouse with some visible crushing to the outer box. This should have been highlighted and recorded when the parcel was received, and we apologise that this was not done. We also recognise that the parcel should have been packaged in a way that provided better protection against any further damage.
While we cannot establish from the information available exactly when the damage to the contents occurred, we do recognise that the condition of the parcel on arrival should have prompted further checks before it was repacked and dispatched.
We are also sorry that the subsequent claim process did not provide you with the appropriate resolution. We have reviewed the circumstances again and agree that pursuing a courier claim was not the appropriate way to deal with this particular situation.
I will be contacting you directly so that I can discuss this with you personally and see what we can do to resolve the matter. We don't want you to be left feeling that there is nothing further we can do.
We appreciate your previous positive experiences with forward2me and are sorry that this particular shipment has fallen short of the standard we expect to provide.

What should have been a relatively straightforward shipment has now dragged on for more than two months, with repeated problems at almost every stage.
I originally paid £189.07 for this shipment — £180.07 for UPS Express Saver plus £9 for combine & repack. The repacking was not optional: Forward2Me required me to have the parcels combined and repacked before they would ship them, so I had no choice but to pay it. That was already an absurd amount of money, especially considering the contents of the parcel had cost me less than the shipping itself.
The parcel then became stuck in a bizarre UPS/customs process. UPS repeatedly rescheduled the delivery, I provided proof of purchase and value for customs, and was then told that the shipment had not even reached Austria yet. Because I was due to leave the country, I asked whether it could be redirected to France, only to be told that it could not be redirected and was instead being returned to sender.
What followed was days of contradictory information. UPS was still sending me notifications saying the parcel would be delivered, while at the same time saying it was being returned. Forward2Me had to investigate because their own system did not initially reflect the return either.
Eventually, UPS showed the status “Return to Sender Requested”, and Forward2Me actually asked me whether I had requested the return. I had not. Forward2Me then confirmed that they had not requested it either, and no one was ever able to properly explain who had requested the return or why.
I then had to wait for the parcel to make its way back to Forward2Me, be reprocessed as a new parcel, and remain on hold while they established whether UPS would charge a return fee. Only after they confirmed there would be no return fee could I finally try to have it sent locally within the UK.
That UK shipment was then cancelled because Forward2Me’s own warehouse said the contents had not been packed properly and needed repacking again — despite the fact that I had already been required to pay for combine & repack before the original shipment was sent.
I was then asked to pay more than £100 again for repacking, which I challenged. Forward2Me subsequently told me in writing that they would waive the repack fee and ship the package free of charge.
Despite that, I later ended up paying for shipping again.
Then, after I paid and was told the parcel was being prepared for dispatch, the shipment was cancelled yet again because they had apparently used the wrong courier service for a local UK delivery. I was refunded and then asked to pay yet another newly created invoice.
On top of the original £189.07, I have also paid additional costs during this process, including customs charges, and have spent a huge amount of time dealing with support tickets, follow-ups, refunds, repayments, dashboard problems and repeated instructions to redo steps I had already completed.
The individual customer service agents have generally been polite, but the overall process has been incredibly disorganised, time-consuming and exhausting.
At the time of writing, after more than two months, the parcel still has not been successfully delivered.
I would not use Forward2Me again based on this experience.
The shipment was ultimately returned because it could not be cleared through customs. Unfortunately, once a shipment is in the return process for this reason, we cannot simply redirect it to another country, such as France. The parcel has to be returned to the sender before a new shipment can be arranged.
That said, I do agree that the way this particular case was handled was confusing. There were too many changes, cancellations, refunds and conflicting updates, and you should not have had to spend so much time following up to understand what was happening with your parcel. I am also sorry that some of the information you received from us did not match what you were seeing from UPS.
Although the individual members of our Customer Experience team who dealt with you were doing their best to help, the overall handling of the shipment clearly fell short of the standard we expect from forward2me. We should have made the process clearer and taken greater ownership of keeping you updated.
I’m sorry that after more than two months you are still without your parcel. I will be contacting you directly to discuss the situation and see what we can do to put this right.
Thank you again for your feedback. We take the points you have raised seriously and will be reviewing the handling of this shipment internally.

We’re really pleased to hear that you’ve had positive experiences with us over the years and that our team was able to help clarify things and get everything sorted on this occasion.
We’re sorry, however, that the instructions weren’t clear initially and that your shipment took longer than the usual 1–4 days to prepare. We also understand how frustrating it must have been not to receive an update during that period. This is valuable feedback, and we’ll share it with the team so we can improve both our communication and processing times.
We truly appreciate your continued support and are glad you still find Forward2me a worthwhile service. Thank you for choosing us!

We’re really pleased to hear that, despite some initial confusion, our team was able to clarify things and help get everything sorted. We’re also sorry that this shipment took longer than usual and that you didn’t receive updates during the waiting period. We understand how frustrating that can be, especially when you’re used to things being completed within 1–4 days.
Your feedback about clearer instructions and better communication during processing is extremely valuable, and we’ll share this with our team so we can continue improving the service.
We’re glad that, overall, you find Forward2me worthwhile, and we really appreciate your continued support. Thank you for trusting us with your shipments!

I initially had a breakdown in communication regarding a $3,000+ collectible trading card shipped under DDP terms. Because of a carrier billing glitch upon delivery in the UK, I had to cover £468 out of pocket to UPS to release the parcel.
However, once the customer service team reached my ticket, they reviewed the paperwork, stepped up, and resolved the issue entirely. Not only did they rectify the situation promptly, but they also issued a full refund covering the charge!
Special thanks to the team for taking accountability, communicating clearly once sorted, and making things right. Turned a stressful situation into a great resolution. Highly appreciate it!
We understand that you have subsequently been charged £468 directly by UPS, which means you have effectively been charged twice. This is not something we expect our customers to have to pay, and we are currently disputing the additional charge with UPS from our side.
Unfortunately, there are occasions where a courier incorrectly charges the recipient for duties and taxes despite the shipment being sent under DDP terms. When this happens, we have to work with the courier to have the charge corrected.
Please be assured that we are investigating this fully. We will not expect you to pay the same duties and taxes twice, and once we have completed our investigation and confirmed the amount that has been incorrectly billed, we will arrange the appropriate refund as quickly as possible.
We are sorry that you have found it difficult to get a response from our team while this has been ongoing. We understand why this has been particularly concerning given the value of your shipment and the amount involved.
I have escalated the matter to the Team Lead and we will continue to pursue this with the courier and will be in touch with you directly regarding the refund.

The parcel contains prescription medication which was purchased from and dispatched by a supplier in India to our UK warehouse, with the intention of then forwarding it to France. While forward2me can facilitate the forwarding of certain prescription medication where it has been supplied by a UK-regulated provider and the appropriate prescription requirements have been met, we cannot take responsibility for forwarding medication internationally when it has been received into our UK warehouse from outside the UK.
We have contacted you to explain this and, importantly, your parcel is still safely being held by us. We have also offered a straightforward solution: if you provide us with a prepaid label, we can send the parcel to another UK address of your choice. We are currently awaiting your response so that we can help resolve this for you.
We completely understand that this is frustrating when you expected the parcel to be forwarded to France. However, we believe it is important to make clear that your parcel has not been lost, we have not taken your goods, and we have not simply stopped responding. We are holding the parcel and have offered a way for you to receive it within the restrictions that apply to us.
We’re therefore disappointed by the suggestion that forward2me is a scam. We take our customers’ shipments and our responsibilities very seriously, and in this situation we cannot forward medication that has been received into our UK warehouse from outside the UK.

We have reviewed the shipment and agree that the parcel should not have been placed into a mandatory repack process in the way it was. We appreciate that this made the shipping options available to you confusing, and our communication should have been clearer.
We would also like to clarify the Lite service. While your parcel may meet the size and weight criteria generally associated with Lite, Lite is not an available service to the USA and is therefore not shown as an option for USA shipments on our pricing page. This is because shipments to the USA currently require a service that supports Delivery Duty Paid (DDP), and our postal Lite service does not currently have the functionality to provide this.
We’re sorry that this wasn't made clear when you contacted us and that you were left frustrated by the options presented to you. We certainly don't want any customer to feel that they are being pushed towards a more expensive service without an explanation.
We’re contacting you directly to look at the alternative services available for your parcel and find the most appropriate and economical option for getting your cat toys to you.
We appreciate that you have had to spend far too much time chasing what should have been a straightforward shipment, and we’re sorry for that experience. We hope we can put this right for you.

Now, why did I explain all of this? You probably got tired and bored reading all of this, and then think about actually experiencing all of this. Well, I wouldn't be able to manage all of this, if it wasn't for Joyce in the UK Warehouse. She was there from day 1 and helped me through all my stupid questions. Workers with friendliness and empathy like that don't exist anymore, at least not in my experience. I wish Joyce all the best and urge the company to upgrade her pay!
We’re especially happy to hear that she was able to answer all your questions, guide you through the different options and make what sounds like a very frustrating situation a little easier. We’ll make sure your lovely feedback is passed on to Joyce — I’m sure it will mean a great deal to her.
