The parcel was shipped via FedEx Economy, the cheapest available service, which completely contradicts the extremely high amount I was charged.
I consider this misleading. I was promised reconsideration of the price, but nothing changed.
I have now been waiting more than 6 days, and the parcel is still not delivered.
Based on this experience, I do not recommend Forward2Me for shipments within Europe. There are far more transparent and reasonably priced alternatives available. 💯
Over the years, I have used the services of many shipping companies, so I know well how international shipping usually works and how much it costs.
Forward2Me charged €153 to ship a power station from Germany to the Czech Republic simply because the battery capacity exceeded 100 Wh. Other shipping companies charge an average of €15-40 to ship the same model. The difference is shocking and completely unjustified.
I even offered a simple and reasonable solution: I would create the shipping label myself, and they would simply hand the package over to the carrier. They refused without any real explanation. This makes it clear that the problem is not security or regulatory requirements, but their pricing policy.
This whole situation is like forcing me to overpay significantly, without any flexibility and without focusing on the customer. I expected professional service, but instead I got strict rules and prices that are completely out of line with the market.
I strongly recommend comparing prices with other freight forwarders before using Forward2Me. Personally, I will no longer use this service.

Thank you for your feedback. The total cost of €153 reflects the special handling required for dangerous goods, such as batteries over 100Wh. These shipments require compliance with strict regulations, repacking, and carrier-specific surcharges to ensure safety and legality. While we recognize that standard parcels may cost less, DG shipments involve additional steps that make direct price comparisons difficult.
We appreciate your cooperation in repacking the parcel and want to confirm that your shipment is now prepared and ready for collection. Our team is working to ensure dispatch proceeds without further delay.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept customer-provided labels for such items because shipping them incorrectly could create serious compliance issues, including the risk of shipment refusal, investigation, or loss of our license to ship dangerous goods. This is not a pricing policy choice but a regulatory necessity to ensure the safety of the shipment and compliance with international law.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,

We understand how frustrating this can be, especially when the item is USB-powered and does not contain a battery.
We’re pleased to hear that your items have now been dealt with very quickly, and we’re glad we were able to resolve this for you. Thank you for your patience and for giving us the opportunity to make things right.

Following my review, Forward2Me contacted me, I was informed that part of the communication gap was due to the original support agent being out of the office, and so communication resumed once another manager intervened.
I can now confirm that the full compensation has been paid, including both the value of the lost item, and the shipping cost, which was refunded separately a day afterwards after i had asked.
To be fair, part of the overall delay was due to the UPS investigation and claims process, which took time to complete before the refund could be issued. Once the claim was finalized the refund was eventually processed and paid.
While I appreciate that the matter is now resolved financially, I still believe communication during the refund process could have been clearer, particularly regarding timelines.
I have updated my rating to 4 stars, as the matter was ultimately resolved. I would consider using Forward2Me again, but I hope communication and transparency during claims can be improved in the future.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
After waiting for two months patiently a shipment handled through Forward2Me was declared lost by UPS after a full investigation. UPS approved the claim and paid the compensation to Forward2Me. From that point onward, the responsibility was entirely on Forward2Me to release the refund to me.
That is where the problem began.
Despite the claim being closed and paid:
Forward2Me failed to issue my refund
Repeated follow-ups were ignored, Emails went unanswered, There was no clear timeline, no transparency, and no accountability,
Throughout this process, I have been nothing but polite, patient, and cordial in all communications with this company. Despite this, communication stopped entirely once the money was involved.
At this stage, Forward2Me is holding funds that do not belong to them, with no justification and no response. From a customer’s perspective, this feels indistinguishable from having money withheld without consent,
What makes this worse:
The loss was not disputed
The claim was approved
The money was already paid by UPS
Yet the customer is left chasing their own refund
This is not a logistics issue — it is a trust and ethics issue.
If you use Forward2Me, understand this clearly:
If something goes wrong and compensation is involved, you may have to fight to get your own money back.
I would strongly advise anyone considering this service to think twice.

My biggest issue is the pricing. Initially the shipping estimate was fairly low, but throughout the process the price kept increasing. My package arrived at their warehouse and I received the free single photo, which was useless. It was blurry and only showed the shipping label and a part of the box. You have to pay extra for more photos. Then I was notified it had to be repacked for a $3 fee. In the details as to why it had to be repacked, it was blank. They gave a blurry photo and no explanation; I don't like this 'trust me bro' kind of service. Also, the shipping estimate before repacking was a range of $48-$52, but when it came time to pay to ship, now it's $61. To make it all even more frustrating, I find the website to be very confusing. I never seem to find what I'm looking for on the first or second try. This last point may be a 'me' problem, but I tried this service because they operate in countries I frequently buy from, and I never had these problems with Amazon, eBay, Buyee, or Stackry when using them to import goods. It feels like they just started operating, yet they've been around for years and have tons of reviews.
I would also like to note that Apple Pay is supposedly supported, but mine didn't work. Nothing happened. It just showed the payment was in progress for about 5 days. I messaged support and they responded in 2 days to tell me to just cancel the payment and try again, but I didn't try Apple Pay the second time. There were also delays at the U.S. shipping center, but there are warnings that it's still being set up as a new location, so maybe the payment and delays are due to that. I am giving them a pass on that.
In the end the price changing repeatedly, and no option to use my own discretion for repacking, leave me not wanting to use this service again. I had hopes that the other reviews were flukes, or that they were trying to ship something hazardous, but no, it was just a terrible experience. My item was purchased broken, so there was zero need to repack it, not that they ever provided any proof that the original packaging was poor anyway. In the end the shipping and fees (I'm not including customs duties in any comparisons) were comparable to the other services I use, just with more frustration.
At Forward2me, our commitment is to make sure your shipping process is seamless, clear, and stress-free.
We provide a price match service to ensure you receive the greatest value for your investment. If you find another provider offering a lower price for the same service, our Price Match Guarantee ensures we'll match it. Simply provide us with the details, and we'll handle everything else.

When MyGermany were purchased by Forward2Me I feared the level of service would decline, but it only went up! I’m super pleased and will absolutely use this service in the future (hopefully without making silly mistakes this time)!

I had an excellent experience with Forward2Me. They helped me resolve my problem incredibly quickly, and the customer service was outstanding. Kaye from the Forward2Me USA center answered me instantly and was professional, kind, and extremely helpful. Thanks to her, everything was solved smoothly and without stress.

They are holding a massively delayed package for me in Germany. They will not ship it to me or return to the sender so far. Waiting since Sunday for customer support to get back to me.
Update: after submitting a negative review I was contacted by Amie she was really helpfull with solving the issue. She got it sorted very quickly and my shipment was forwarded without cost.
However when I tried to forward shipment from my profile on forward2me my only option was dhl express. However I was advised that the only suitable provider to carry my parcel containing prescription medication would be fedex. Shipping rates vere very high if I was to forward similar shipment in the future. This was within the eu.
I am glad my issue was sloved but I dont think Id be able to reach a solution if I didnt post negative review first.

I'd like to share my experience with Forward2Me and myGermany as well. After reading several reviews, I went with myGermany and had a successful purchase and warehouse storage with them. Then I also had another purchase, but on the same day, I received an email from them about merging with Forward2me on the 19th of December, and so myGermany stopped working.
Both of their customer services are email only. If you try to call them, they will never connect you to anyone and won't call you back as it's their offered option. If you message them on Instagram, they will answer via email. After emailing and trying to call both CS, one of them was kind enough to inform me that the movement of packages from myGermany would start around the 8th of January. It did not happen.
I asked both customer services multiple times about my packages, and nobody was able to provide any information. F2ME said they would place my package info on my account. It didn't happen.
After days of waiting, I ended up putting them up manually.
After more days of waiting, I reported one of the packages as missing because not even myGermany registered it, and I was panicking.
After the report, they found one of the packages. After days of waiting, I reported the other package, and then one day later they found that one.
Basically, they never found and placed anything by themselves. I had to raise awareness each time. Then the second package was stuck in the processing phase for two days, so I couldn't ship it. I had to ask them again to do something with it because I was just visiting Europe.
Then I couldn't combine my packages because they had a queue of 155 packages, and in 6 hours it grew to 211. I also read reviews saying that their combine and repacking service resulted in them having to pay an additional $80. I wanted to ship my packages to Hungary. Their address form was requesting a Hungarian Tax ID (like for what? As an individual, what if I am a tourist or student here?) while I was shipping from a German warehouse to an EU state address. I raised this issue to their CS, and first they were acting like I was stupid, so I sent the screenshot of the issue. Then another CS agent responded to me about paid duties, which was totally not relevant to my case. Again, Hungary is an EU member state, and from Germany to Hungary, there are no duties. Basically, you can't really be a tourist and ship your package there due to their slow pace and requesting a local tax ID. The company has no idea about EU member states, and even their FAQ acts like some EU states are different than others.
Moreover, I found it interesting that they actually ship from Poland and not from Germany, as UPS picked my packages up there.
Basically, each step with them was like pulling teeth. Thanks to this slowness, I lost my right to return one of the orders and so I just lost 180 euros.
I find it very unprofessional to do the merge this slowly as they were doing it for almost a month. I understand that you think that I am spoiled, but I purchased my items to the myGermany warehouse with the promise of receiving them in a few days as I was just visiting Hungary. While F2ME is a company, they knew about the merge months in advance, and I actually paid for this service; they weren't doing a favor to me like a friend.

Forward2Me was approached by the MyGermany owners and agreed to acquire certain assets in order to prevent an immediate service collapse and maintain continuity for customers. By definition, this differs from a planned, structured migration.
Since the transition, we have been dealing with significant backlogs
Our team already address your concerns via email.
We appreciate you taking the time to flag these issues and your patience during this period.
