My package was marked as "dangerous goods", which was a bit weird for a synthesizer.
Staff was very friendly and understanding. I talked with Joyce through Whatsapp (UK). She sent a request to the warehouse to check my package, which was followed up within 24 hours. After some back and forth with Joyce, everything was solved in the end, and I did not have to pay an extra fee for shipping "dangerous goods".
They had to repackage my shipment for a 3 pound fee, this was not optional. I didn't really like it, but money well spent. I've never seen better packaging. The box felt solid like a rock, and was filled with all kinds of foam material to protect the product.
I will use this service again in the future! :)
We understand that the repackaging fee isn’t ideal, but we’re happy to hear you found the new packaging solid and protective, it’s always our goal to ensure your items arrive in perfect condition.

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.
