Hervorragender Kundenservice mit sehr kurzen Antwortzeiten. Schneller Weitertransport (in meinem Fall aus UK) nach Deutschland.
Nur die Versandkosten sind einfach zu hoch, besonders bei Kleinpreisigen Waren.
Denn zu dem Warenwert und den Versandkosten fallen noch Kosten für die Einfuhrumsatzsteuer und vor allem DHL Auslagen an, welches eine Bestellung aus UK nicht gerade preiswert macht.
Bis auf die Versandkosten bin ich mit dem Service von Forward2Meii grundsätzlich zufrieden und würde ihn vermutlich wieder nutzen.

Fast service as usual, but for such a small package quite expensive!
Hi there,
Many thanks for your feedback.
We are pleased to hear that you are satisfied with the speed of our service.
I have checked the details of the package you recently shipped out from our UK warehouse on 10.01.22 and it appears that, the reason why you were provided with the higher shipping costs is because the system has calculated that the chargeable weight that determined the final shipping price for your package was based on the volume/size of your package rather than the actual weight of the goods inside. Most courier services determine the cost of shipping by either the actual weight of the goods or the volumetric weight of the package (size of the package)- whichever is greater. I do believe you would have saved further costs on shipping if you had chose our combine and repack option for your package, prior to shipping, because the actual weight of your goods was 0.98 kg whereas the volumetric weight/size of the package calculated to 3.88 kg and this greater weight is what determined the final shipping price for your package with DHL. Therefore I feel that a combine and repack or reduction service of your package would have been necessary and cost effective for you as there was a sufficient amount of excess and possible unnecessary volume that could have been removed or reduced from your package to decrease the overall volumetric weight/size of your package down further. We do provide further details to assist you with making your decision about whether to repack your goods once you select the package and go through to the 'Combine and Repack' option from your inbox.
I hope the information I have provided to you is useful and it helps you reconsider your current rating for our services.
If you have any more questions or concerns relating to our combine and repack service or any other features from your account please do not hesitate to get back in touch with our Customer experience team via email and one of our agents will be more than happy to assist you further.
Kind Regards
Hayley

- Forwarding worked as expected
- Amazing notifications as packages arrived
- Clear view of the status received along the way
However (for UK ⇒ FR shipping):
- How packages were actually forwarded wasn't clear (what actually happens with repacking? Is it a good idea? How much are shipping cost afterwards?);
- Planning for taxes and customs was almost impossible: I was not made aware that the forwarding cost would be included in the "value" declared to customs, hence going over the usual thresholds;
- I couldn't find a way to recover the VAT on the seller side, hence paying for it twice
Overall, unless forward2me provides better help with tax/customs, I'll use it only for small items (<30£).

Hi there,Many thanks for your feedback.We are pleased to heat that you had a great forwarding experience through our service but feel you were not provided with the information required relating to repacking or the onward shipping processes.I have checked your last 2 recent shipments, more so your DHL shipment that was dispatched from our UK warehouse to France on 05.01.22, and I can see both of your packages were not submitted for a repack service prior to shipping.The contents of your packages were containing clothing items which can create a lot of unnecessary volume and a consolidation or repack service can sometimes beneficial for these types of items because even though they create a lot of excess volume, they can be reduced down smaller and they are relatively light in weight. Our combine and repack service option is where we open all of your selected packages and repack your goods into fewer smaller packages. Where the chargeable weight has been determined by the volumetric weight it is sometimes a good idea to combine and repack your items into fewer package to reduce costs and eliminate risk of individual boxes going missing. We do provide information to assist you in making your decision for repacking from your account once you select the combine and repack option from your inbox. I have calculated that you would not have really saved a lot on costs for the overall shipping by combining and repacking your 2 clothing packages into one piece this time round. Firstly because the current shipping rates for within mainland Europe are as a low as they can be with all of the available courier services currently and, although the chargeable weight of your shipment had been determined by the total volumetric weight of your 2 packages, as a multi piece, at 13.15 kg whereas the actual weight of the goods was 6.05 kg, your total cost for shipping would have still calculated close to the same price as it is currently by not consolidating both clothing packages as one piece due to the additional repack fees per package that have been added to your final invoice after the repack was completed. If you had repacked the 2 clothing packages into one piece this would have reduced your shipping costs with the courier slightly but you would have then had additional repack fees per package to pay on top of the original base shipping price which would have then increased the overall shipping costs again. If you order items from UK based retailers you will be required to pay additional purchase VAT 20% for the goods. In order to recover the VAT from the seller side you would need to be able to provide the UK seller evidence that the goods have been internationally shipped. If you are considering purchasing high value goods you might benefit more from using our Tax Free warehouse. All retailers who offer delivery to the Channel Island are not permitted to charge purchase VAT for goods entering Guernsey.It is recommended that you only look to ship higher value goods to this address as shipping options are limited to DHL and can be a little more expensive than shipping from our mainland UK address. It is therefore important that you calculate beforehand that the vat saving on the purchase is higher than the possible increase in shipping costs from this facility compared to shipping from the UK mainland.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 and 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 labelled"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 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 and also on the freight costs.

Poor experience. Lost package, not their fault, but no compensation for the excessive shipping charge, never mind the cost of the lost goods.
Hi Sam,Many thanks for your feedback and for your continuous patience.I understand this issue has been very frustrating for you and I can only apologize, once again, for any confusion and lack of unprofessionalism that you feel was provided to you in our previous responses that were relating to this case with your missing FedEx shipment.There was some confusion with your account details, originally, because it appears you have 2 accounts set up through our service, one being under your Facebook email address. Is there one of these accounts that you no longer use that we can close to avoid further confusion going forward?I can see the case with your missing shipment has already been escalated to an investigation with FedEx and we are currently awaiting further updates on evidence relating to the delivery location of your package from FedEx shipment. As soon as we have further updates on the status of the investigation from FedEx we will be back in touch to update you.
Please be assured we are chasing this issue daily with the courier to get this delivery error concluded and resolved for you as quickly as possible. We ask that you continue to monitor for further updates from us via email.I hope this helps you further and please do let me know if you have anymore questions or concerns in the meantime.Kind RegardsHayley

Yes the services are quite satisfactory. What i don't like about it is the prices..it is really expensive.. For a 4 kilos package that it was sent to me from Portand, USA insured, delivery within 10 days I paid 75euro. For a similar package sent from Germany uninsured I paid 42 Euro. The insurance costs un additional 25euro. Comprare 75euro from the Pacific Ocean to 67euro from Germany. You can make your own conclusions...

Hi Tayyab,Many thanks for your feedback.I am sorry you feel the shipping costs are expensive.I can see this was your first ever shipment through our service and your goods were dispatched from our Tax Free warehouse in Guernsey.Our tax free warehouse is located in the Channel Islands and, unlike our mainland UK warehouse, Channels Islands/Guernsey are classed as tax free islands so all retailers who offer shipping/delivery to Guernsey/Channel Islands are required to deduct the additional value added tax (VAT) from purchases for goods entering a tax free location. Whereas all purchases coming to our mainland UK warehouse have to include the VAT applied by the retailers.Our tax-free warehouse address is very useful for customers wanting to ship high value goods. The higher the value the more VAT you would save. Shipping rates from Guernsey are more expensive as they can only offer DHL Express service and all shipments that are dispatched from Guernsey have to travel back into mainland UK to be processed through customs before being exported to the destination country. I can see the total purchase value of your goods were low value which means shipping from Guernsey warehouse would not be cost effective for you if you are only purchasing lower value items because you would not save a lot of costs on the additional purchase VAT of the goods from the retailer on lower value goods. It is recommended that you only look to ship higher value goods to this address as shipping options are limited to DHL and can be a little more expensive than shipping from our mainland UK address. It is therefore important that you calculate beforehand that the vat saving on the purchase is higher than the possible increase in shipping costs from this facility compared to shipping from the UK mainland.I hope this helps you further and if you do require further information or assistance with anything please do not hesitate to get back in touch with us.Kind RegardsHayley

Hi there,Many thanks for your feedback.I am sorry to hear that you feel unsatisfied.However I can see you have received a total of 3 shipments from our UK warehouse through our company so far. It appears that not one of your packages had been submitted for a repack service from your account prior to dispatch.Please be aware that all packages we receive for our customers, to our warehouses, are shipped out just as they come into us from the seller/retailer unless otherwise stated by the customer or if a repack request has been submitted by the customer from their account. If your goods do not get submitted for a repack service from your account prior to being dispatched from us, this would mean the goods would have been booked in, stored and then dispatched in the same packaging and box they had been received to us by the seller. If we receive packages that are visibly damaged upon inspection, are a larger item which may require reducing in size, if the internal or external of a package was poorly packaged or insufficient for onward shipping or required a pallet quote sourcing we would always attempt to inform our customers directly of necessary repack requirements for goods unless customers request otherwise.I understand that this issue must be very frustrating for you, however, we do strongly advise customers to always consider our repack services, prior to shipping their goods so we can ensure all your goods are verified as safely and securely packaged for onward shipping every time.I hope this helps you further and assists you with your query.Kind RegardsHayley

Great idea! I bought some shirts in a German site that does not ships to the US. Forard2me allow me to have those beautiful shirts right in the US. The only thing you need to fix is that you should not require confirmation of your paypal account. If I am paying to you with Pay pal is because I already have access to my account and a password already, so Forward2me should not add more unnecessary security requiring to confirm an email. That causes unnecessary delays, but at the end I am happy because after confirming that annoying email that was not coming, I got the shirts.
