I have used them in the past once for a smaller package which was fine, however my last order with them was for two big boxes.
* Emailing them, I received less than useless AI replies
* Selected combine service, items weren't combined and was charged for two deliveries with no explanation why
* I understand they need to make money, but there is no transparency when booking delivery on how much of the fee is delivery and how much is service charge
* Initial quoted postage charges was $100, this turned into $400
* Adding multiple items using their website was not as user friendly as it could be
Thanks for the feedback.
We're real person, not an AI. I can see we’ve missed the mark on the high standard of service you experienced with your first shipment.
I completely understand why this was a shock. This usually happens due to Volumetric Weight. While a box might be light, carriers charge based on the space it takes up on the plane. If the boxes were large, the $100 estimate (likely based on actual weight) jumped once the dimensions were factored in. I am happy to provide the specific dimensions and the carrier’s volumetric calculation so you can see exactly where that cost came from.
We hear you on the lack of fee breakdown and the website’s "user-friendliness." We are currently working on a clearer billing interface so you can see exactly what is a carrier fee versus a service fee before you hit pay.
We use templates to speed up replies, but we are real human.
Best regards,

All of the packages I sent to this location were delayed. My most recent package shows it arrived on March 30th at 12:58, and it’s been almost 48 hours with no confirmation that it has been checked in. I’ve reached out multiple times and received no response.
I usually use Blackship because they are fast and ship within 24 hours. This experience has convinced me I will no longer use forwsrd2me. I take responsibility for choosing them this time, but the delays and lack of communication make it impossible to continue using their services. Unfortunately, you’ve lost me as a customer.
Update
I need to file a missing parcel request as you guys are responsible for my missing package. I see you guys will answer to reviews but not messages. I’m missing a Gucci Wallet that I won in a Japan Auction for my daughter’s birthday for 114.00USD. Im holding this company responsible to reimburse me for the missing item or find it immediately. This is ridiculous !!!
We previously reached out via email to check on this issue, but we haven't received a response yet. We would appreciate it if you could clarify the details of the situation so we can begin a formal investigation.
To help us resolve this as quickly as possible, please provide the following details regarding your missing package:
Tracking Number or Shipment Reference
Order Number (if available)
We take full responsibility for ensuring our customers’ packages are handled properly, and we are committed to resolving this for you promptly.
We look forward to hearing from you.

UPDATE: I received a call, finally, as a result of having left a VM, nothing whatsoever to do with the reply received here which as I suspected was simply lip service! No immediate action was taken & nothing done to resolve faster for me. 2 painstaking days & a ton of over & back later & my order has only just been shipped(Tues)! Please be assured that this would not have happened unless I had followed up relentlessly & remained so vigilant. I had to push hard for every step. They chose the cheapest shipping option & charged me just shy of €60(Germany to Ireland) and it's going to take 8 more days for delivery! All the fuss & the contact us flagging for a 'dangerous item' was so unnecessary as there was no special arrangement to ship the phone but a €6 surcharge was applied. My order is currently in Poland, can only hope it makes it...the address on the tracking is not the shipping address I added, no city or even country on it! I can't encapsulate the frustration and helpless feelings I had whilst dealing with this company especially over such a valuable item in such a small space but trust me it was excruciating at best! First & last time I will ever use Forward2me, you have been warned!
I am sincerely sorry for the delay and the lack of communication regarding your mobile phone. We understand your frustration—you want your item, not excuses, and we want to get it to you immediately.
To resolve this right now, please email your account details and tracking number to info@forward2me.com. Once we have your details, I will personally ensure our German warehouse prioritizes the "Dangerous Goods" (Lithium Battery) documentation required to get your phone dispatched on the next available flight.

Could you please provide photos of the damaged items and the packaging send allinformation at info@forward2me.com? Once we have these, we’ll be able to assist you with a replacement, refund, or further instructions.
Thank you for your patience, and we’ll work to resolve this as quickly as possible.

We completely understand your point regarding the shipping fee. Our current quoted rates were for 2-day air from Japan to the US, which is why the cost was higher. We appreciate your suggestion about offering a slower, more economical option, and we’ll certainly take this into consideration to provide more flexibility for customers who don’t require expedited shipping.

Forward2Me provided a smooth and reliable experience from start to finish. The handling of the package was efficient, and the process was clear and well-organized throughout.
Communication was professional and timely, and the shipment arrived as expected without any issues. The overall service quality was very satisfying.
I would definitely recommend Forward2Me for international shipping needs.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to assisting you with any future international shipping needs!

Absolutely appalling service. Will NEVER use them again.
I have pulled your file from the general queue and assigned it to a senior supervisor who will oversee this until the package is cleared. You will no longer deal with multiple agents asking the same questions.
I realize that our phone lines going to voicemail has added to your stress. We are currently experiencing higher-than-normal volumes, but that is no excuse for a three-week delay.

The "Sealed" Policy: Once a consolidation is completed and packed, it is typically finalized to ensure warehouse efficiency and security. However, we understand that your situation changed regarding the third item.
A member of our management team will email you within the next two hours to confirm these changes have been applied. We want to regain your trust and get your packages home.

Support service is excellent when you’re not sure how to go about it.
For first timers- I wanted to buy shoes in the UK and get them to South Africa.
I was given a “forwardtome” address in the UK. Got the shoe company to deliver the shoes there.
Chose one of the options of which courier company to do the leg to RSA.
Once they arrived at the depot, forwardtome got the courier company to collect and deliver.
Had to pay import duty when requested by courier company and received my shoes.
Only way I was able to get this particular brand of shoes, so it may have cost extra but it was necessary and worth it for me.
Very trust worthy company.

We would like to investigate the details of your shipments further, as we do not have a record of this specific review or your information. Please contact us directly at info@forward2me.com so we can look into your account.
Regarding your comments on our US warehouse and the request for a Proof of Delivery (POD) photo: We sincerely apologize for the frustration this caused. You are correct that USPS does not provide delivery photos, and major carriers like UPS or FedEx typically only take photos for "front door" drops, not for items signed for or handed to an individual.
We are currently reviewing our internal support protocols to ensure our business support team better understands the specific limitations of US carrier services like Media Mail.

We completely understand that unexpected delays can arise due to circumstances beyond your control, and we’re glad we were able to support you with an alternative solution. It’s great to hear that forwarding your parcel to a UK address worked out well in the end.
We truly appreciate your kind words about Kyla — we’ll be sure to pass along your feedback to her. She’ll be delighted to know her assistance made a positive difference.

I had 4 packages sent and the postage was quoted as 240€! Then they said “oh if you pay us 15€ we can repackage and get it to 160€.. I mean, by that point it’s extortion, they have all your stuff and will just bin it if you don’t pay up.
So I paid the 15€ and guess what… postage was 300€!!!… I complained repeatedly and they just gave that same bs line again and again about “oh it’s volume not weight soz”
UPDATED
They read this review a contacted me and refunded the difference. Pity they refused to ack anything until I did this… adjusted the rating to 3.
In the end it worked but I don’t think I would ever go through the risk/process again.
We truly appreciate your time and honesty, and we hope we might have the opportunity to make your next experience smoother.

I ordered a medical testing supplies kit that unfortunately has run into FDA regulatory issues. I do want to acknowledge that the Trump administration is absolutely responsible for the regulatory problems around getting important medical care, supplies, and treatments, so there are those of us that are trying to use shipping forwarding services. That being said, MyGermany used to ship this item, and some other re-shippers will also do this too with varying degrees of success. After the acquisition, Forward2Me will not ship the items, which is something that caught me by surprise. There are other people who have tried this with Forward2Me, please be advised, if you are ordering what I ordered, they are not going to ship it through. Forward2Me says they don't want to take the risk with CBP intercepting the packages, so take that as you will if you are a customer.
I initially complained after being told I would have to pay around $30 (total costs) to ship the item domestically within Germany to return the item, and was told the charge was non-waivable. The customer service team eventually was able to step in to assist me. The company agreed on a one-time basis to waive the charge and ship the item back to the original supplier.
There was (and is) still some stress as I had to reach out to the supplier and plead for a return given that there had been some delays in time. At this point I am still hoping the supplier company, based on a conversation I had with their customer rep, will refund me, but we are technically past the 14 day window the original supplier has. And unfortunately, that does put me at risk of losing the money on the item. Foward2Me will cover returns up to 7 days but please be advised, that is a pretty narrow window. I encountered some issues with the website accepting a return address. The customer rep Jus tried to help, but I think the website had difficulty properly reading the address. That will add time to any return you may want to process on your end.
I do want to thank Joyce who took over on a lot of this request, and also Aimee, who also helped out and finished out the request getting the item shipping back to the supplier. They stuck with me through a difficult period on the request and, in fairness to them, did their best to help explain the website and how to use it. Aimee provided detailed instructions and Joyce followed up with easier-to-follow pictures when I didn't understand the text instructions at first. There were some disagreements about pricing/expenses but the company eventually decided to try to help out I think to address the dissatisfaction I had at that time.
I do think that some of the reviews here complaining about pricing transparency and such have validity - what you get on a shipping quote can often be a lot lower than what you will eventually need to pay. Now that Cadet Bone Spurs is escalating the War with Iran, it can create even more problems for customers as shipping rates surge in response to oil and supply line blockages. That's something to keep in mind if you want to use this service.
I do think the company could improve the useability of the website interface, and as a customer, you should expect that with things of this nature things may take more time than expected, such as contacting other parties involved on your order, processing addresses, etc. Deadlines can come up a lot sooner than you think. I did try calling the phone line and wasn't able to get through. The customer rep (Joyce) said that she had tried to call, but it didn't appear to get through on my phone. I think the company still probably has some issues to work with getting the customer support operations staffed appropriately to handle the volume they are dealing with, especially after a merger with another company. I can understand that reps need focused time to respond to emails and investigate concerns, and having a ringing phone at random points would really disrupt that focus. But coming from the customer side, being able to call is important as email/text communications can leave confusions about things that a call can resolve. I think the company should work to better support the customer support team so that both options can be operationally supported.
We as a freight forwarders cannot legally bypass customs. We are bound by the shipping laws of both the export country (Germany/UK) and the import country (USA).
While we strive to help customers access products globally, medical testing kits are subject to strict International Air Transport Association (IATA) and FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) regulations. Even if an item is not "dangerous," many countries classify diagnostic kits as restricted medical devices that require specific import permits or "Prior Notice" filings that individual consumers often cannot provide.
The "misunderstanding" mentioned by our team likely refers to the high risk of these items being seized or destroyed by U.S. Customs. However, we acknowledge that our communication was contradictory and that telling you to "try and fail" was not the clear guidance you deserved.
We apologize for the difficulty in reaching us by phone. We are currently reviewing our call logs and ticket handling processes to ensure we are as responsive as our customers need us to be.
Thank you.

Mi hanno spedito i pacchi divisi nostante fossero arrivati contemporaneamente (ed io avessi chiesto il repack) per farmi pagare il doppio delle spese, veramente vergognosi
We noticed that your order arrived in separate packages, even though they reached us on the same day. This happens because Amazon sometimes ships items separately. Each box is logged individually with its own item types, quantity, weight, and dimensions, which is why they are processed separately. We want to clarify that we never split your items; this was done by Amazon.
Our combine and repack process is an optional service to help consolidate multiple packages into a single shipment. While it does carry an additional charge, its purpose is to make shipping easier and more cost-effective. Customers can still choose to ship items as multiple pieces without requesting a combine and repack.
We will send you an email to discuss this further.
Kind regards,

My original review on March 2 was based largely on a lack of communication. Since then, it appears that some emails were not being received in either direction, and it is unclear which side the issue occurred on. Because of that, I cannot attribute all of the communication problems solely to Forward2me.
In the end, Forward2me did resolve the issue and shipped the remaining balance of our goods at no additional cost to the client, who had already paid in full. The client has now received their merchandise, and we appreciate that the company ultimately came through.
However, I cannot rate them higher because response times were extremely slow, which caused a great deal of frustration and delay. I submitted three requests through their Help Portal without receiving a response.
We had three packages sent to them for consolidation, but their system was confusing and the packages were not consolidated as expected. The package counts shown in the system were difficult to verify, and the two emails we received about the shipment were unclear.
When the client received the shipment, two-thirds of the order was missing. I then contacted Forward2me through multiple channels — their website Help and Missing forms, email, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and by calling from the U.S. to the U.K., where I was only able to leave a message after being placed on hold.
This process began with the order placed on January 12, so the overall timeline was quite long.
Had this been handled more smoothly — especially given that it was a straightforward consolidation request — this likely would have been a 5-star experience. Ultimately the issue was resolved and we are satisfied with the final outcome.
It would greatly improve the customer experience if there were faster response times, a live chat option, or regional call centers so customers could reach someone more easily when issues arise.
We truly appreciate your patience while the issue was being resolved, and we’re pleased that we were able to ensure the remaining goods were shipped to the client without any additional cost. Your understanding throughout the process means a lot to us.
I understand how concerning it must have been not receiving updates on your shipment.
In this case, the shipment was sent to a third-party parcel forwarding address. Due to customs requirements, the recipient acts as the Importer of Record in the importing country, and forwarding facilities are often not set up to take on this responsibility. This can lead to delays or shipments being held in clearance and often results in the shipment being returned.
For this reason, we generally do not recommend shipping to other forwarding companies and we do not usually offer this service to those types of addresses.
That said, we absolutely recognise that we should have communicated this more clearly and kept you better informed throughout. We are also reviewing our internal processes to ensure better cover when team members are away.
We will also follow up with you directly by email so we can look into this properly and help resolve the situation.
Kind Regards,
Tracy
