But i used the German address, everything went wrong. DHL couldnt locate the address, forward2me says its a zone issue. And they will contact DHL to resolve the problem.
I waited and waited. Asked for updates and there is no reply via whatapps. I email and called them, the only answer i get is they are still trying to resolve.
I seriously dont understand, just contact DHL and get them to send to the correct address, why is it so hard that i need to wait so many days and yet they still have not resolve the problem?
Anyone reading this, can you provide me the CEO email so that i can contact directly?
Many thanks for your feedback.

So I'll start with this. Customer communication was 5 stars. I cannot dispute that. It was quick, timely, you just gotta match up the UK hours with your own time zone.
Everything else? Not so much.
First those quotes they give you on the front page of the website? Forget all that entirely. Literally just throw that out. Or pick the biggest one and add 30€.
I ordered some manicure gel. Not flammable, non dangerous, very small goods. They even come in their own strong plastic pots. I got three packages, total weight was about 1.21 kg total.
Cheap, right? I expected to pay 60-70€ in shipping, with FedEx.
Wrong. Wrong!
I was hit with a repacking fee of 6€, ok. Fine. Expectation was that it was going to be in a smaller box.
Wrong again! My 6€ paid for the package to get heavier. It went from 1.21 kg to 1.38 kg.
So I paid for it to get heavier?
The shipping quote forced it to be optimized for DHL, said best would be 70€, worst would be 86€.
I was slapped with a solid 96€ for shipping.
So the package got heavier, and quote was now higher. I paid for over 200€ so I was in it for the long haul.
It said DHL express, two business days. I waited 2 weeks for that package to arrive to NEW YORK CITY for collection.
When I got it, it looked like my stuff was thrown in the most ramshackle, ghetto big box they had with no extra care or protection. There were packing peanuts, but that's it. And it looked like they just opened the other packages and tossed the contents inside of the big box with no care or protection.
So I'm not doing this again.
Edit: let me add this. If I had shipped to America via bpost from the Benelux, shipping would have been 46€ for 30 kg.
Many thanks for your feedback.
I am sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction.
I would like the opportunity to reach out to you directly to further discuss your issues and concerns in more detail.
Please keep an eye out for my email.

Many thanks for your feedback.
Our shipping rates are reviewed each year, with each of the courier services, to make them as cost effective as possible for our customers based on the volume of packages that we receive.
We understand that everyone is facing financially challenging times worldwide. Unfortunately the fluctuating fuel surcharge rates with each courier service are causing increases in the overall shipping prices we are currently offering. Some of the courier services are reviewing their fuel surcharges once a month and others review and amend the fuel surcharges on a weekly basis. Also many of the courier services' are having to apply additional emergency surcharge fees in relation to COVID restrictions from country to country.
We apologize for any inconvenience or difficulties this may be causing all of our customer's.
I hope the information I have provided to you is useful and that you will reconsider your current rating.
Please do not hesitate to get back in touch if you do have any further questions or concerns.
Kind Regards

Then DHL shipments started to return to original senders. I contacted the customer service, they were aware of the issue and they sent out a notice email to warn customers to use the new address due to recent city zoning changes.
After that I had to re-order all the shipments that got returned. A couple of days later, still the same issue. All DHL shipments returned, again.
A few more days pass by, I contact the customer service again and then they gave me a yet another, now 3rd address, saying that they're still working on it. So what is the point of this, to waste my time even more with addresses that don't work?
It's been almost 10 days since I first raised the issue and I'm sure they have nearly every customer at German warehouse affected by this because DHL is usually the standard shipping service and somehow they still cannot receive shipments from the most widely used courier in the country.
You'd think a company that LITERALLY DEPENDS on receiving shipments, would resolve the issue of receiving said shipments! But it doesn't seem like they're in a hurry.
Since then they haven't even bothered to release any additional public notices despite the warehouse not functioning properly for more than a week.
Very poor job at keeping their frustrated customers informed.

I was very pleased with the service in the past & consumer service is always friendly.
However, the German warehouse recently changed address, leading DHL not to find it.
Additionally, it appears that Anazon orders requiring an OTP won't go through, presumably because no one at the warehouse discloses them in spite of consumers giving them.
You can thus expect that hardly anything arrives there at the moment.
Consumer service explained that they know of both issues, but not how they happen.
It appears that the warehouse simply seeks no solution for the issue & sits it out. I suspect its because they'd have to hire one new person to dedicatedly handle the OTP scenario, but don't want to.
They saw no need to tell of the address change in time either, only after a few parcels went back.
Thus, I go from 5 stars in the past to 1 star right now.

I found Forward2me through internet reviews. Forward2me provided me the opportunity to purchase an eBay item from Germany not available outside the EU. I was, furthermore, able to track the purchase from the Seller first through eBay and then through the shipper provided by Forward2me.

Many thanks for your feedback.
I am sorry to hear that you feel dissatisfied and that you have received your items in poor condition to your address.
All damage or loss claims must be notified to us via email as soon as the shipment has been received so we can request the relevant images and documents from you that are relating to the goods in the shipment, so we can then proceed to determine liability for the damage and ensure we are still within the stated timeframe to be able to submit a claim to the courier if needed. All damage claims must be notified by us to FedEx in writing within 21 calendar days from the date FedEx accepted the shipment, failing which no action for damages may be brought against FedEx. I have checked the date that your shipment was dispatched from our EU warehouse up until the date of delivery and unfortunately we may just be still within the 21 days timeframe to submit a damage claim with the courier for your shipment. I can see that you did not request a repack service for your goods prior to shipping, therefore, all of your goods would have been shipped out as they were received from the original senders. I am happy to ask for one of my customer experience agents to reach out to you via email to request additional images of the damaged items so we can assess and conclude this matter further at our side for you.
Please keep an eye out for our email.
I hope this helps you further.
Kind Regards

Other than that issue, the service was fine
Many thanks for your feedback.
I am sorry you are dissatisfied with your repack. I can see that your repack had exceeded our target of 24-48 hours.
To compensate you for the inconvenience we have performed the repack for free.
Forward2me is working to maintain great value pricing for our customers whilst also paying fair wages to our employees. This is a difficult balance to achieve in 2022 and has resulted in us failing to hit targets on multiple occasions.
To address these problems we are investing in technology and automation which will allow us to achieve more output with fewer people. The benefits of these investments will be felt by our customers in the coming months.
We want to thank you for using our service and your patience while we work through these issues. I would also appreciate it if you could reconsider your rating.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need anything further.
Kind Regards

Many thanks for your feedback.
We are sorry to hear that you feel dissatisfied with the shipping rates.
I can see that your first shipment was sent from our Tax Free warehouse in Guernsey.
Please be aware that, when you order goods to the tax free warehouse, the tax free element refers to the 20% VAT that is deducted from the total purchase costs of the items from the online retailer either upon checkout or upon delivery to Guernsey.
The VAT or tax free element refers to the purchase VAT or tax that you save from your original purchase with the retailer and this VAT or tax saving would contribute towards your final costs for the shipping service.
Guernsey is an English-speaking island located in the English Channel between France and Great Britain. It is not part of the United Kingdom or a member of the European Union, instead it is a self-governing Crown Dependency. Significantly, Guernsey has no VAT or GST (Tax Free). This means if a UK retailer ships to Guernsey they should not be charging VAT or tax.
Therefore it is recommended that you only look to ship higher value goods to the Tax Free address as the shipping options can be a little more expensive than shipping from our mainland UK address. We have recently switched on the FedEx International Priority as an additional courier option from the Tax Free warehouse.
I hope the information I have provided 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 rating of our service.
Kind Regards
