Superb communication! This was my first time using the service and they were excellent answering my questions in the process. My items were both fragile and expensive so I was nervous. But they packed everything with care and it all arrived safely. THANK YOU!

Prompt service. I do wonder if the weight amount is for the exact weight or if there is a bracket that the weight is in between. If we know that then we can order up to the weight bracket limit. *This is for the fedex economy service)

TOO EXPENSIVE SHIPPING COST SO THERE IS NO NEED TO USE YOUR SERVICES AGAIN
Hi there.
Many thanks for your message.
We are sorry to hear that you feel dissatisfied.
Please note that all of our shipping rates are reviewed each year, with each of the courier services, to make them as cost effective as possible based on the volume of packages that we receive.
I can see that you chose to send your package with UPS Express service due to this being the most cost effective courier option, at the time of shipping, based on the greater chargeable weight of your package for shipping which. in your case, had been based on the volumetric weight of the package (size of the package) rather than the actual weight of the goods.
If you had chosen to submit a combine and repack request for your package, containing the pair of shoes, it may have been possible for our repack team to reduce the original dimensions of the box containing the pair of shoes or simply allocated the contents to a smaller box. However, please note that, it is more difficult to fully reduce the overall chargeable weight or volume of packages containing shoes if the original shoes boxes are to be retained. Shoe boxes can cause a lot of unnecessary excess space within a package and does mean that the overall size of package that is containing shoes in shoe boxes cannot always be successfully reduced.
Volumetric Weight, sometimes referred to as dimensional weight, is a measure used by couriers like DHL and UPS to set the price of shipping items which are large in volume but relatively light in weight. In a case like this, Volumetric Weight is what determines the price of the shipping service. Volumetric Weight is calculated differently by service. Combine and repacking may be a better option dependent on the size of the packaging and if there is a lot of room for it to be decreased as this will mean the volumetric weight has been reduced. Where the Chargeable Weight has been determined by the Volumetric Weight it is a good idea to combine and repack your items into fewer or smaller packages to reduce costs and eliminate the risk of individual boxes going missing. We do provide information to assist you in making this decision. when you select 'Combine and Repack' option from your account.
I hope the information I have provided to you is useful, we sincerely hope that this issue does not deter you from using our service again in the future and that you will reconsider your current rating of our service.
If you do have any further questions or concerns please do not hesitate to get in contact with our Customer Experience team who will be more than happy to assist you.
Kind Regards

Let this be a warning to anyone contemplating using this service. I sent a package of John Lewis towels to France. The fees from this company were over £90. Then I received an invoice for taxes etc from Fedex for 110 Euros. This effectively doubled the cost of the towels to around £400. Thank you Boris Johnson for this farce.How can British industry hope to survive import and export duties like these?
Hi Anthony.
Many thanks for your feedback
I am sorry that you feel dissatisfied with our services and that you have discrepancies with the additional charges for your shipment.
I have checked the details of your shipment through our service and I can see that you chose to ship your 3 packages as a multi piece with FedEx Economy service instead of consolidating your goods . FedEx Economy was one of the more higher cost shipping service rates that would have been offered to you at the time of shipping.
DHL Economy service would have been almost £20.00 cheaper for the shipping costs of your 3 packages as a multi piece shipment. Also I can see that the chargeable weight for the shipping prices you were provided at the time for your 3 packages with FedEx Economy would have been based on the total volumetric weight (size of the 3 packages) containing your goods rather (25.02 kg) than the actual combined total weight of the goods in the package (9.31 kg). If you had considered using our Combine and Repack services to have all 3 packages consolidated together as one piece this could have potentially reduced the overall chargeable weight of your shipment by approximately 14.13 kg which would have reduced your overall shipping costs with FedEx Economy by at least £20.00.
All shipments are dispatched through our services as 'Delivered Duty Unpaid' with all the couriers and this information is clearly stated from the terms of trade pages on our website.
We don't allow destination duties and taxes to be paid to us in advance, within the shipping costs, because we do not yet have the approved accreditation to carry out our own customs clearance and calculate the duties and taxes owing for shipments in advance.
It is the courier agencies, such as Fed Ex, DHL and UPS, who have and use their own customs clearance departments to calculate the import taxes and duties owing for our customers shipments from UK warehouse and the additional import duties and taxes owing for a shipment to the destination country would be charged as a separate fee by the relevant courier service prior to delivery.
Unfortunately, local import duties and VAT calculated by your local customs department and the couriers is beyond our control and any discrepancies in the total costs cannot be reimbursed by us through our service. We are required to show the total shipping costs paid on the commercial invoice. All courier services we use clear shipments through their own customs clearance departments, the clearance team need to be able to access the original shipping price paid to calculate the taxes against and to ensure the couriers do not use default shipping costs. We can remove the courier shipping costs from the commercial invoices by request from our customers, and this option can also be amended yourself by going to your 'Profile' section and 'Addresses'. When you click into your 'Shipping Addresses' there is a check box option at the bottom 'Include shipping price on commercial invoice'. However, removing this option may mean the couriers will use a default shipping price to calculate the duties and taxes owing which usually calculates higher in value than the actual shipping costs paid.
Please also be aware that as of 1st July 2021 the import VAT free buffer for shipments into the EU with a total declared value of £15.00/€22 or less no longer applies and all imports are now subject to EU VAT. Local duties and taxes are calculated from the commercial declared value of the goods in the shipment, all purchase values for your goods will have been inputted and saved to the packages by yourself from your account prior to shipping, and destination duties and taxes are also calculated on the courier freight costs.
If your discrepancy is in relation to the total calculation of the import duties and taxes for your shipment this would need to be resolved from destination with FedEx.
We apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this matter may be causing you.
I do hope the information I have provided to you is useful, we hope this issue does not deter you from using our services again in the future and that you will reconsider your current service rating.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any more questions or concerns.

It took me a while to pick out a UK forwarding service that didn’t seem like a scam. I was still worried when I ordered from forward2me, but everything arrived perfectly and quickly. I was able to get a collectible figure that is always sold out in the US much cheaper than on ebay. I don’t review stuff often, but since I was concerned about scams hopefully this helps someone.
