Service was swift but the price was too high for a simple item. I bought a Barbie doll for my daughter at about $20, but paid more than $40 to ship to me. There were only express options. I would have been happy to wait longer to receive the item if it had cost less.
Hi,
Many thanks for your feedback.
I'm pleased to hear that you are happy with the overall service however the cost of shipping was more than you would have liked.
The cost of shipping is generally calculated by the amount of space that your shipment occupies, rather than the actual weight. This is called the volumetric weight. All couriers (examples: DHL and TNT) use the volumetric weight to calculate their shipping prices. However, if the actual weight is more than this volumetric weight then the shipping price is calculated using this actual weight.
I see that although your package weighed less than 0.5 kg the actual shipping price was based on the higher volumetric weight. When sellers ship within the UK couriers charge on the actual weight of the goods rather than the volumetric, like they do for overseas shipping. We tend to find that because of this many UK retailers ship in much larger boxes than necessary for the goods enclosed in the package.
For this reason we do offer a combine and repack service, when chosen our warehouse team evaluate the goods inside the package and see if they can reduce the overall size of the package ensuring that the goods can be shipped so they are safe and secure for international transit. This process ensures that the customer obtains the maximum value for shipping. You can find this option from your inbox when you go to ship your packages.
Many customers do look to purchase a number of items then consolidate them into one shipment to ensure they are making the most of our service.
For shipping options, we do usually have some more budget options however due to the limitations for air freight down to the problems related to the pandemic, many of these options aren't viable at the moment. We are hoping that in the coming year as the pandemic passes, we can offer more budget services for our customers.
I hope this information all helps going forward however if you have any further questions please don't hesitate to get in touch with our Customer Service Team.
Kind Regards,
Tracy.

I have bought one PTZ VideoCamera and you have received and sent to me the package that was very very poor packaged by the seller . I was really very lucky to received the delivery not damaged.By the way the service was very fast and the DPD Currier very reliable. Next time PLEASE take a look if the packaging is OK for the shipment if NOT please advertise me and make the item reliable .of course i pay you for the service. Make Attention !!!!! Thanks
Hi,
Many thanks for your feedback.
I'm sorry to hear that the packaging on your shipment was poor, I see that you opted for shipping the item in the retailers original packaging, we do try to make goods as safe as possible on dispatch however always recommend that our customers choose the combine and repack service when shipping to ensure that additional packaging is added when required to ensure your goods are safe and secure for international transit.
The combine and repack service is available for you in your inbox, you need to choose the service for the packages you are shipping before going ahead with the ship now button.
I hope this suggestion helps going forward however if you have any further questions please don't hesitate to get in touch with our Customer Services at info@forward2me.com and they will be very happy to assist you further.
Kind Regards,
Tracy.

Fast responses to my queries and very fast but expensive shipping. It would be nice to have cheaper shipping options especially for low value items. I would be more inclined to use the service more if there were several shipping options as I don't necessarily need the items to be shipped express.

It’s too expensive! Coz of the size of my parcel, slightly exceeded the standard size, the shipment costs ended up became 4 times of the price of my item. (The item costs £20 vs shipping cost £80) I couldn't return it as I needed it urgently, overall very disappointed. Won’t consider to use forward2me again.

From the moment I added the product to the dispatch of the package, everything was handled so smoothly that I couldn’t even believe in it. I ordered a product on a Friday and Wednesday I already had it in my hands.
I’d gladly recommend for anyone wanting to buy products from the UK and they can know for sure that they gained a customer here if they keep the experience as good as it is right now.

I paid for my package immediately after it arrived in the warehouse. I waited more than a week for it to say it had shipped out, and nothing happened. Only after contacting customer service did I learn that I had a confirmation email sent to my paypal email (which I do not check) immediately after the payment went through. When I went to go pay again, I saw that there was a small pop up reminder that went away after a few seconds telling me to confirm the payment in my email. This was barely noticeable, so if I hadn’t contacted customer service my package would have basically been lost forever. After the payment went through, the package shipped out after a few days, and I paid $40+ for shipping. That’s already an insane price for an item worth the exact same amount. Paying that much for shipping, I expected the package to arrive in the 2-3 business days I was promised. It took more than 7 business days for the package to finally arrive. Overall, it was just a very messy and frustrating experience.

Prompt service and easy to manage website.
There could be a button to add extra documents after the initial upload on the webpage ???
Combined shipment were individual parcels, no harm done but wouldn't a single parcel be easier.

Good repackaging so far, effective use of available space in the box. Very good response time on inquiries. Only negative I consider the flat fee of 2 pounds for repackaging rather steep as a lot of my buys are really small and don't even need repackaging
Hi,
Many thanks for taking the time to review our services.
I'm pleased to hear that you are overall happy with the service we offer however you found the combine and repack fee a little steep.
We do take on board your comments however the combine and repack service is quite time consuming, although the items repacked may not need much repacking, they still need to be picked from the warehouse, repacked, then restored in the warehouse until you are ready for shipping.
I hope you understand our position on this process however we are reviewing all services on a regular basis and will take into account your comments.
We wish you all the very best for 2021 and look forward to your continued support.
Kind Regards,
Tracy.

Hi,
Many thanks for your feedback.
I'm sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the price you have paid for our services. I see that your parcel did have an actual weight of 1.7 kg however the cost of shipping was based on the higher volumetric weight of 6 kg.
The cost of shipping is generally calculated by the amount of space that your shipment occupies, rather than the actual weight. This is called the volumetric weight. All couriers (examples: DHL and TNT) use the volumetric weight to calculate their shipping prices. However, if the actual weight is more than this volumetric weight then the shipping price is calculated using this actual weight.
The cost of shipping also includes the use of our services, this covers the use of the forward2me addresses, the acceptance, processing, storage and preparation of your goods for shipping including all the paperwork required for export.
For all fully tracked services our Customer service team provide full support from the receipt of your goods to the delivery in your own country.
Our company can't really compete with large retailers who cover their costs on the sale of their goods, forward2me offer a service and don't have any products to sell, many of the larger retailers due to the volume of parcels they ship offer the service at cost or even a loss on some occasions to make the shipping cost attractive when selling products.
In addition to the above many couriers currently charge surcharges to cover their extra costs during the pandemic and at this time of year also add a peak surcharge to cover increased costs over the Christmas period and increase in volume of parcels being shipped.
forward2me do feel that they offer a value for money service and are in line with our competitors who offer a similar service. We don't charge any annual or monthly fee for providing the addresses and provide a free 30 days storage period so customers have time to collate their parcels and ship in one shipment to ensure they obtain the maximum value for shipping.
I hope this helps explain what is included in the price paid for shipping and how the cost is calculated.
We hope you will consider this information and maybe use our services again in the future.
We wish you a merry christmas and all the best for the coming new year.
Kind Regards,
Tracy.

It works but it is so incredibly expensive. I would only use this service if I had no other option.
Hi,
Many thanks for your feedback.
I'm sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the cost of using our service, we do feel that we offer value for money seeing as the price paid is not only for shipping but includes the use of the address, the acceptance, processing, storing of your parcel until shipping, preparation for shipping and any export labelling required for your shipment.
We do not charge a monthly or annual fee like some of our competitors and offer a 30 day free storage period to allow customers to collate their parcels and ship them together to obtain maximum value for shipping.
We are aware some larger retailers can offer shipping very cheaply however we are unable to compete with these companies as they cover their costs on the actual sale of the products, they often sell shipping at either at cost or a loss dependent on the deal they can obtain from the courier.
We have also experienced challenges with pricing this year due to couriers adding emergency surcharges and peak surcharges to cover their additional costs relating to the CV-19 pandemic. We only pass on these surcharges to our customers at cost.
I hope this helps explain what is actually included in the price you pay to forward2me and that you will hopefully consider using our services again in the future.
We wish you all the very best for the coming year.

Tracy.
