Many thanks for your feedback.
We are sorry that you felt dissatisfied with our service.
Although your package contained non prescription medication we have to adhere to the country specific import restrictions and regulations that are provided to us by the couriers as per local customs authorities.
Unfortunately this can sometimes mean that for certain countries we, as a forwarding agency, are not authorized to ship prescription or non prescription medication of any kind internationally with the couriers.
Also if you refer to our prohibited items page on our website you will also see that medication (17.3.16 Drugs-including all over-the-counter, prescription and legal drugs as well as illegal drugs / narcotics) are stated as an item that can be prohibited for us to ship. I have checked back on all of the correspondence that we received from you and I cannot see that you had contacted us about your intension to purchase medication or to inquire whether it was possible for us to assist you with shipping the non prescription medication prior to you purchasing the order from the online pharmacy. If you had inquired with us prior to purchase we would have been able to inform you about the relevant country specific import restrictions for your medication.
As a forwarding company we understand that it is difficult to access certain medications for some of customers internationally or it is just not internet accessible like in UK.
I feel that you were provided with a high level of support and responses from our agents via our Whatsapp channel within a 24 hour period and we feel that we tried our best to assist you and find alternative solutions for the shipping issues relating to your medication.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused and we are pleased to hear that you have managed to get your medication shipped.
I hope this the information I have provided to you is useful, we hope that the issues you have experienced will not deter you from shipping with us again in the future and that you will reconsider your current rating of our service.
Kind Regards

Using the forward2me service saved me approximately 40% versus what was quoted by my vendor.
The one hitch? The tracking number link provided by forward2me did not sync with the couriers' system. As a result, I was constantly toggling between the two systems in order to receive a delivery update. Unfortunately, I never received an online update as, for some reason, the courier system also did not recognize the tracking number provided.
I can report that my item arrived. From originating point, via intermediary warehouse, to arrival at my address, dispatch took approximately 12 days.

Shipping tends to cost the same if not more than the item purchased. So not really affordable.

現地の売り手は当該国内のforward2meの住所に送るだけで
何の面倒もかけることないので、買い手も安心して買い物できます。
多少、forward2meの手数料が掛かるとはいえ、
通常日本国内からはどうやっても買えないものが
手に入るメリットに比べたら小さいものです。

My wife and I have been using Forward2Me for about 6 months now for various European products. We have never had any issues. Their support team is always courteous and helpful when we have any questions. I recommend this service to everyone.

Surely will recommend but just keep in mind the above.

Having said that, the service is very efficient and works really well. I will probably use it again in the future for buying certain items that are difficult to get otherwise, but as it's so expensive it's going to be an absolute last resort, so perhaps I won't use it again, we'll see.

The need to upload documentation and invoices is slightly annoying as I don't have to do that with hopshopgo when shipping from the US and I don't have stuff held up in customs due to invoice queries, so maybe it's an EU or UK requirement for documentation to be uploaded and verified?
The shipping prices are steep at the moment, not the fault of the staff, it's the courier companies, using excuses like Putin's Ukrainian tantrum and the oil companies blatantly gouging the price of avgas. The Australian government's BS import gst of 10% should be scrapped too, it just makes local retailers lazy and is anti competitive and isn't supportive of free market capitalism.
They seem to be critically short staffed at the moment sadly. The repack queue blew out to North of 500 packages when I recently looked at a repack on a recent shipment I looked at a repack the next day and the number of packages waiting in line only went down by 40 or so. Not the fault of the team, they have to deal with umpteen incoming packages a day, respond to support enquiries, allocate parcels to accounts, verify documentation, organise people's goods to ship and then do repacks. This is a lot of work, then factor in covid handling requirements. I wish they had roughly double their workforce, it seems like that sort of investment may speed things up, relieve bottlenecks and potentially improve staff morale even.
Unfortunately I can't rate them 5 stars because of the current shipping prices and the few bottlenecks that I have highlighted. Their pricing is still quite competitive for the UK market though.
Message to management: Your people are great, you just need more of them, roughly double and streamline 1 or 2 policies and then you have a great working company!
Many thanks for your feedback.
I am sorry, however I am having difficulty locating your account details on our system based on the information you have provided in this review.
We would really appreciate if you would contact us via email at info@forward2me.com so we can firstly conclude your account details and to also discuss the issues and concerns that you have highlighted of our service in more detail.
The Australian Government introduced the charge of GST(Goods and Service Tax) on 1st July 2018.
We therefore need to charge 10% GST on all goods with a value of $1000 Australian dollars or less being shipped via our services and 10% on the shipping service provided. Shipments over the value of $1000 will be charged on import at the Australian border.
If you are already a registered Australian Business account holder which is approved for GST, you can register this account number on your forward2me profile and GST will not be charged on shipping via your forward2me account. The transaction will need to be declared during your usual return to the Australian Tax Office.
We apologize for any delays or inconveninece the document approval process for GST may cause. It is not possible for us to remove GST for shipments with declared values of less than $1000 AUD.
We have to recover GST for the Australian Government on all shipments less than $1000 AUD if not GST registered, this a mandatory requirement for us as a forwarding agency and because we are offering shipping services to Australia and our revenue for shipments to customers' in Australia being over the maximum stated threshold we have to be GST registered.
We understand that everyone is facing financially challenging times worldwide and the fluctuating fuel surcharge rates with each courier service are causing increases in the overall shipping prices we are currently offering. Some courier companies review their fuel surcharges once a month and others review and amend the fuel surcharges on a weekly basis and the courier services' are also 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 as well.
All of our warehouses try very hard to have all combine and repack requests completed for customers within a 24-48 hour window, however, we are aware that this estimated completion window for our combine and repack service can sometimes elapse especially if we are down on staffing numbers in the warehouses to cover the volumes due to unavoidable absences such as holiday leaves or sickness. The same would also apply to our Customer Experience team for response times for our customers. Forward2me do have a Live Chat feature available to to customers from our website but unfortunately it is not always possible for us to have full agent coverage for this feature 24 hours a day. Please be assured, your concerns will be passed to the warehouse management team for further review. All of our warehouse teams continuously work hard to avoid company standards slipping as much as possible.
I hope the information I have provided to you is useful, we hope these issues will not deter you from shipping with us again in the future and that you will reconsider your current rating of our service.
If you do have any further questions or concerns relating to our services please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Experience team who will be more than happy to help.

Many thanks for your feedback.
We are sorry that you feel dissatisfied with our service, however, as was advised to you previously, by our Customer Experience agents, the document approval procedure from our Germany warehouse is viewable to all customers' from the Germany page on our website and can also be found from our FAQ'S page, 'READ MORE', https://forward2me.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360016227500-Why-do-I-need-to-upload-a-passport-and-utility-bill-when-shipping-from-the-German-address-
The document approval process from Germany is a new security policy that has been built onto our system to ensure additional security and protection for both our customers and our service by the request of Germany authorities-not forward2me.
Forward2me would only use the provided forms of identification for no other reason than if working with the police and German authorities in any events of a fraud claim. We do not share this other than with official authorities and only on request. The information is stored and transmitted in an encrypted form.
I can see that you continuously refused to provide the requested documentation for approval for shipping your package from our Germany warehouse and this resulted in your package exceeding the 30 free storage days but as a one time only gesture we offered to waver all additional storage charges and we authorised shipping for your package at Germany from our side. Please note, if you should choose to ship from our Germany warehouse again and if you do not provide the requested documents from your account you will not be approved for shipping from the Germany warehouse again, you will be restricted to proceed with shipping your packages and the only available options for your packages would be return to sender or disposal.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
We hope this information that we have provided to you is useful, we hope the issues you have experienced through our service do not deter you from shipping with us again in the future and we hope you will reconsider your current rating of our service.
