Offers only one delivery Option to destination outside UK and repacking Consumes a couple of days. DHL delivery was ridiculously expensive with 77€!

Thanks for the feedback Johannes.

From the UK to Germany we currently have 9 different shipping options from companies including DPD, UPS, FedEx and DHL. Each of these services has restrictions on what you can ship, including things like limits on value, size or weight, or the type of goods.

Unfortunately your shipment contained a type of Dangerous Goods. From your perspective that might not make sense as you were only shipping hair care products. We don't make these rules but we are forced to work within them. At forward2me we are fully qualified to ship dangerous goods from all of our locations but many courier services don't allow dangerous goods on their networks owing to the additional burden of special packaging, special handling and additional paperwork. This is why you only see one shipping option - that is the only option currently available to us for that type of goods from the UK to Germany.

I agree with you, the shipping price is high. Unfortunately this is outside our control. The cheaper services have the most restrictions - including not allowing Dangerous Good - that is how they keep their costs low. In addition to being limited to more premium services, substantial additional fees are applied for handling dangerous goods. At forward2me we do not charge anything extra, we just pass those fees straight through from the courier.

This is a frustrating situation even for forward2me but I would like to reassure you that we are continually pressing the couriers to reduce these fees and we are working hard to provide more shipping options in every type of situation.

I do hope you find these details useful and if you wish to discuss further please contact our customer team.

A mostly convenient experience. Only drawback was that they didn't supply DHL with the fact that VAT had already been paid.

I recently purchased an item from eBay that didn’t offer delivery to my country, so I started looking for freight forwarders online. After reading positive reviews on Trustpilot, I decided to try forward2me, and I’m glad I did! The process was incredibly smooth—after using the UK address provided by forward2me, my item was delivered to them and then forwarded to my country without any issues. The platform is easy to navigate, and I appreciated how streamlined everything was, from the initial purchase to the final delivery. The best part is the timely notifications at every step, ensuring I was always informed about what to do next. My shipment arrived on time, just as promised. Highly recommended!

I've shipped from multiple countries around the world and have purchased from many online stores in the UK, all of which were less than a third of the cost. When payment was due after being made to pay for repackaging (which was actually very good) the price went up over 20% which was already high. They also charged me for multiple items instead of one, after notifying them about this they said they would change that which the did back to single item but price remained the same.
I will never use them again and recommend you don't either

Hi Shaun,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We understand your concerns regarding shipping costs. Since you're shipping perfumes or fragrances, there are additional surcharges applied by DHL. These products are classified as dangerous goods due to their chemical composition, often containing flammable ingredients like alcohol. To ensure safe transportation, strict regulations are in place, and surcharges are applied when shipping such items with DHL. For more details, you can check the list of surcharges on the DHL website http://www.dhl.co.uk/en/express/shipping/shipping_advice/surcharges.html.

Since you're shipping to Australia, we also need to charge the 10% GST (Goods and Services Tax). This applies to all goods valued at $1000 AUD or less, as well as on the shipping service itself. For goods over $1000, GST is charged upon import. If you're a registered Australian business with GST approval, you can add your account details to your Forward2me profile to avoid being charged for GST on shipping.

We hope this clears things up!

Many thanks,
Forward2me

A simple way to get deliveries to the UK from companies within the EU that don't ship here post Brexit. Quick and easy to use and very efficient with all your customs fees paid before the item is delivered. Useful to be able to 'bundle' orders into one box to reduce costs. Have also used for a package from the USA which was actually quicker than from the EU!

I had to pay the delivery on your website. And I had to pay while it arrived

The transport is a lot, minimum 22$ and they also include the price of the amount paid to the carrier in the invoice so you have to pay double tax on it.
There is nowhere mentioned that you must confirm your address with your id. You are only asked to provide that when you encounter your first package and try to ship it. Why you have to confirm it when you basically pay for it to be shipped and declare all the values? you also have to do the border processes yourself and redo the list of items again because it wasn't properly communicated to the first in the first place when you completed it.
For the Japanese warehouse, I have no complaints but for the German one they over-opened all the packages with the motive that is to ensure that you don't have illegal goods to your region. Mate, it came to Europe it was already inspected properly, with an x-ray as it should be done, to ensure nothing illegal for the EU is inside. Even the sealed boxes where opened. You don't even at least get pictures of the package to know if something was missing or damaged when it arrived to them, and I had items missing and didn't know if I should contact them or the other firm to reship it to them and the repay the shipping price :). Also, you have 30 days storage but if you combine a package with 1 day left with another one that has more days left for combine shipping, you now have 1 day left on the combined package. Aaaand if you do this when that package has only a few hours left, which takes a few hours to a day, congrats now you have to pay for extended storage :).
Overall I would only recommend it if you don't have any other alternatives and don't care if some of your goods are missing or seen by someone else and pay a lot of money for subpar delivery.

Update: since privacy doesn't seem to be their concern at all (disclosing names seen on other reviews as well) and the FAQ is considered legally binding to them and is my fault that I read the terms of service and the privacy notice which btw doesn't mention handle of this data.
PS: the blue picture button that is mentioned, only shows the picture that is included in the email that they received a package for you, which is the package sealed with the shipping details on it. So yeah not addressing that a second useless verification can lead to missing items.

Hi SD,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate all insights, whether positive or negative.

We strive to be clear with our pricing. You can view our rates here: https://www.forward2me.com/pricing/. By calculating the fees in advance, you can avoid any surprises with shipping costs.

Unfortunately, there’s been confusion about whether the shipping price needs to be included on the commercial invoice. Some customers and couriers have conflicting opinions, and it seems to vary by customs office. We allow customers to decide if they want this information included on the invoice.

I’m sorry for any inconvenience with the address verification process. For our Germany warehouse, it's clearly stated on our website that this document is required before shipping. You can find the details in the FAQ section here: Germany Warehouse https://www.forward2me.com/warehouses/germany/

I understand your concern about the inspection of packages. We do this to comply with regulations. Customers can request photos of their packages directly from their account by clicking the blue camera icon in their package inbox.

Due to our limited storage space, we can only provide up to 30 free days of storage for each box we receive.

After the first 30 days of storage, we must charge 0.50p each day, and this is something we must clearly state for our package. 9 Delivery and Storage of the terms of trade:- https://www.forward2me.com/terms-of-trade/

With regards to this review, I believe you have agreed to shown your names, here is the link for Trustpilot. https://support.trustpilot.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000253548-Where-will-my-reviews-be-displayed

We value your feedback and are committed to improving our service based on your experience. If you have any further questions or need assistance with any issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We want to ensure that your experience with us meets your expectations.

Many thanks,

The process worked ordering the item and it was delivered to my Forward2Me address in Germany.
I chose UPS as the courier as they said it would be delivered to my address in England in 3-5 working days. It actually took double that time. It seemed to spend a week in Poland.
I cannot hold Forward2Me responsible for the delay.

My items arrived, so far ok.

What I wish you to do better:

1. The price for your service should be predictable. Please make sure that forwarding costs indicated in beforehand on your website do not increase tens of percent without any reason.

2. I was invited to check a modified list of my items. I was not able to cancel twice-mentioned items or change the number of them so that the sum would be correct. I guess the idea of checking the list on my side and checking the package on your side should not lead to contradictions impossible to overcome, or simply to the fact that your staff closed all possible eyes in front of the obvious contradiction.

3. As far as my package was possibly opened and checked, a not so comfortable outcome was that at arrival at my house multiple product's packages missed useful parts of their package.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm glad to hear that your items have arrived safely, but I'm sorry to learn about the issues you encountered.

We encourage our customers to use our pricing page before placing orders. This helps ensure a more accurate understanding of the forwarding costs. You can find the pricing page on our website here: https://www.forward2me.com/pricing/. All estimates are for reference purposes only. The final charge will be based on the weight determined by us, using the applicable Forward2me rates at the time of dispatch.

I apologize for the inconvenience you faced with the item list. We have ongoing issues with the purchase invoice being duplicate on the list. Our IT team is currently working on the issue.

I'm sorry to hear that some parts of your products' packaging were missing upon arrival. We would like to investigate the issue.

If there's anything else you'd like to discuss or any further assistance you need, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Many thanks,
Forward2me

My furniture came damaged and they refused to refund me for it.
forward2me
Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.

We noticed that you chose UPS Expedited, which is the most affordable option.

It's important for customers to understand the necessary steps when receiving a damaged item upon delivery. All customers needs to take the following photos:

Photograph of the damaged item
Photograph of any external damage to the box
Photograph of the external box showing the shipping label
Photograph of internal packaging
Proof of purchase or invoice for goods purchased, showing the value of the goods

These documents and photos are essential for us to proceed with a claim. Without them, we cannot move forward. For more information, please visit our FAQ: https://forward2me.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360016369139--Reporting-Damaged-Shipments

Additionally, we recommend adding Protect+ Guarantee for customers who want to ensure a refund for the value of the damaged items. For this service visit this page https://www.forward2me.com/protection-guarantee/

Unfortunately, given the situation no claims has been processed with the couriers due to missing information of documentations.

Many thanks,
Forward2me

Hi Angel,

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm sorry to hear about the delay you're experiencing with your package at DHL.

We have determined that the reason for the delay is due to the detention of the shipment. Unfortunately, this is a situation that is beyond the control of both DHL and Forward2me.

I understand how frustrating this must be for you.

We believe we are now in touch to you.

Hi Abdul,

Thanks for the feedback.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

If products descriptions, were added wrong, I would advised to add purchase invoice going forward.

If you are expecting an incoming parcel, it would greatly assist us in ensuring accurate descriptions for each package by uploading the purchase invoices or order summaries associated with them. This allows us to process your parcels efficiently and accurately. Here's how you can do it:

Log in to your account.
Navigate to your Warehouse address.
Select the "Incoming Package" option.
Upload the invoice or order summary corresponding to the parcel.

Additionally, I want to bring to your attention that some of the items you are shipping contain batteries and are classified as dangerous goods when shipped. It is essential to adhere to safety regulations when handling such items to ensure the safety of our personnel and the integrity of the shipment.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the uploading of invoices or the shipping of items containing batteries, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to assist you.

Many thanks,
