However, after escalating, Tracy (Head of Shipping at forward2me) personally intervened and delivered an outstanding resolution that far exceeded any reasonable expectations:
Acknowledged all errors (delays, communication failures, incorrect handling).
Cancelled the current shipment and issued a full refund.
Waived all storage and handling fees.
Repacked the items compliantly (splitting battery-containing devices to avoid Dangerous Goods classification).
Is shipping everything free of charge today.
This level of accountability and proactive service has completely restored my trust. forward2me proves they stand behind their customers when issues arise, turning a bad situation into total satisfaction. I recommend them without hesitation. Looking forward to working with them again soon!
I understand how disappointing it is when there are repeated issues, particularly around timing and communication. Based on your comments, it is clear we did not manage the process efficiently or provide the level of responsiveness you should expect from us.
I also want to clarify the point regarding your shipments. When parcels contain more than two lithium-ion batteries within equipment, they are classified as dangerous goods under International Air Transport Association regulations. In these cases, the shipment must be correctly packed, labelled, and booked in line with strict transport requirements before it can be dispatched. This is to ensure safe and compliant air transport.
That said, compliance requirements do not excuse the delays or the poor experience you have described. We recognise that communication should have been clearer and faster, and we should have handled your requests more effectively.
Regarding storage fees, I can confirm these have already been discounted as part of our review of your case.
We appreciate your continued patience and your feedback, and your experience is being reviewed internally to ensure we improve both our communication and handling of similar shipments in the future.

But they blatantly ignore my request and practically holding my packages hostage. All the while I am being charged storage fees for my packages because they keep delaying my request which they are blatantly ignoring.
Enough is enough, just because I live in the USA does not mean I can't make official complaints toward this company. I want my packages shipped to me the way I want them shipped to me. The sooner this can be resolved the better. I don't want to deal with this company anymore.
I understand your concern regarding the “repack required” status.
This is applied where we assess that a parcel may incur additional carrier handling charges or restrictions due to its size, shape, or packaging condition. Carriers often apply surcharges for non-standard or insufficiently protected parcels, and we use this process to help prevent unexpected costs and ensure parcels can move safely and efficiently through international networks.
I can confirm that the “repack required” tag has now been removed from your packages as per your request.
That said, we would still recommend repacking where possible, as this helps ensure your goods are fully protected during transit and reduces the risk of damage during international handling.
We appreciate your feedback and are continuing to review how these requirements are applied and communicated to ensure greater clarity and consistency.

We take great care when handling all parcels, with items inspected upon arrival and again during repacking. At present, we have not received any report or evidence through our Customer Experience team to indicate that the glasses were damaged either during processing or upon delivery, and there was no indication of damage noted on the parcel itself.
We would genuinely like to investigate this further for you. If you could please contact us directly with photos of the item, the packaging (both internal and external), and any relevant details, we will be able to review this thoroughly with our warehouse and courier partners.
We can also see that our team has previously attempted to reach out to assist, and we would still very much welcome the opportunity to resolve this matter for you.

We appreciate your support and look forward to assisting you again soon.

We completely understand your comment regarding the shipping cost, especially when it can be higher than the value of the items themselves. While we’re pleased to hear that the repack helped reduce the parcel size, courier pricing is based on set weight brackets (using either actual or volumetric weight), so in some cases a reduction in size may not always move a shipment into a lower price tier.
For future shipments, one way to make shipping more cost-effective is to take advantage of our 30 days of free storage. Many customers choose to consolidate several purchases into a single shipment, which can significantly reduce the overall cost per item when shipping internationally.
We really appreciate your feedback, and we’re always looking for ways to help customers get the best value from our service.

Regarding repacking, we always recommend this step when parcels arrive in their original retail or domestic packaging. While plastic bags are often suitable for local shipping, repacking into a more suitable outer carton helps ensure the goods are better protected for international transit, where handling conditions can be more demanding.
In many cases, repacking multiple items together can also help make shipping more cost-effective by optimising space and reducing volumetric weight. This is something customers can take advantage of alongside our free 30-day storage, which allows time to consolidate parcels where needed.
We do understand that customs fees can sometimes feel significant, especially for smaller shipments, but these are determined by local authorities and are outside of our control.
Thank you again for your honest feedback — it’s greatly appreciated and helps us continue improving our service.

The support is slow and often unresponsive. Getting a quote can take up to two weeks, and when it finally arrives, the prices are not competitive with the market. On top of that, there are often days without any reply at all, only to then receive an automated email asking whether the ticket is still open. That's not the kind of customer service I expect, especially as a long-term customer.
I will ship out the parcels I still have stored with them, but after that I'll be looking for a different forwarding provider. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Forward2Me for anyone dealing with more than just the occasional small package.
Best regards,
Brian
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback, and I’m sorry to hear about your experienc, particularly around larger shipments and the delays you’ve described with support and quoting. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, especially for long-term customers.
I’d really like to look into this properly and understand exactly what happened in your case so we can investigate and address it directly.
Unfortunately, I’m not able to identify your account from this review alone, please could you contact us with your account details, registered email or recent shipment references? I’ll personally ensure this is reviewed and followed up.
Thank you again for the feedback, and I appreciate your patience while we look into this.
Kind Regards,
Tracy

Due to recent changes in US import rules, we’re currently not able to offer postal services for low-value shipments to the US, and options are now limited to express courier services.
We always try to keep shipping as cost-effective as possible, but for smaller parcels this can sometimes mean the prices are higher than expected.
For future shipments, it may be worth consolidating multiple items into one parcel where possible, as this can help provide better value for shipping.
If you ever need any help with this, we’re happy to assist.

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

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.

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!
We’ll be sure to pass your comments on to Jhe and Kate/Katie — they’ll really appreciate the recognition.
