Customer Reviews
Nothing is more important than the trust between us and our customers. Below you can find recent feedback from real people who have used our parcel forwarding service. We made this page in order to be transparent about what our customers are saying. We hope you find it useful!
Filters are defaulted to show Verified Reviews Only because we know these reviews are real. You can change filters to look at All Reviews but we can not be certain all these reviews are from real customers.
forward2me has no control over the feedback on this page unless it is abusive or defamatory - in which case the review platform typically removes it. Every review is shown unedited and in full.

The only downside is because we're in a different timezones I have to be patient for an answer. But that's nobody's fault.
We understand that timezone differences can sometimes cause delays in response, and we really appreciate your patience and understanding. We’re always working to improve our response times and provide the best possible support, regardless of location.
Thanks again for choosing Forward2Me, and we’re here whenever you need us.

I'd like to share my experience with Forward2Me and myGermany as well. After reading several reviews, I went with myGermany and had a successful purchase and warehouse storage with them. Then I also had another purchase, but on the same day, I received an email from them about merging with Forward2me on the 19th of December, and so myGermany stopped working.
Both of their customer services are email only. If you try to call them, they will never connect you to anyone and won't call you back as it's their offered option. If you message them on Instagram, they will answer via email. After emailing and trying to call both CS, one of them was kind enough to inform me that the movement of packages from myGermany would start around the 8th of January. It did not happen.
I asked both customer services multiple times about my packages, and nobody was able to provide any information. F2ME said they would place my package info on my account. It didn't happen.
After days of waiting, I ended up putting them up manually.
After more days of waiting, I reported one of the packages as missing because not even myGermany registered it, and I was panicking.
After the report, they found one of the packages. After days of waiting, I reported the other package, and then one day later they found that one.
Basically, they never found and placed anything by themselves. I had to raise awareness each time. Then the second package was stuck in the processing phase for two days, so I couldn't ship it. I had to ask them again to do something with it because I was just visiting Europe.
Then I couldn't combine my packages because they had a queue of 155 packages, and in 6 hours it grew to 211. I also read reviews saying that their combine and repacking service resulted in them having to pay an additional $80. I wanted to ship my packages to Hungary. Their address form was requesting a Hungarian Tax ID (like for what? As an individual, what if I am a tourist or student here?) while I was shipping from a German warehouse to an EU state address. I raised this issue to their CS, and first they were acting like I was stupid, so I sent the screenshot of the issue. Then another CS agent responded to me about paid duties, which was totally not relevant to my case. Again, Hungary is an EU member state, and from Germany to Hungary, there are no duties. Basically, you can't really be a tourist and ship your package there due to their slow pace and requesting a local tax ID. The company has no idea about EU member states, and even their FAQ acts like some EU states are different than others.
Moreover, I found it interesting that they actually ship from Poland and not from Germany, as UPS picked my packages up there.
Basically, each step with them was like pulling teeth. Thanks to this slowness, I lost my right to return one of the orders and so I just lost 180 euros.
I find it very unprofessional to do the merge this slowly as they were doing it for almost a month. I understand that you think that I am spoiled, but I purchased my items to the myGermany warehouse with the promise of receiving them in a few days as I was just visiting Hungary. While F2ME is a company, they knew about the merge months in advance, and I actually paid for this service; they weren't doing a favor to me like a friend.

Forward2Me was approached by the MyGermany owners and agreed to acquire certain assets in order to prevent an immediate service collapse and maintain continuity for customers. By definition, this differs from a planned, structured migration.
Since the transition, we have been dealing with significant backlogs
Our team already address your concerns via email.
We appreciate you taking the time to flag these issues and your patience during this period.

I understand that you were offered Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) as the only available option for shipments to Saudi Arabia. Please note that FedEx is our only carrier that supports DDP. If you prefer not to ship DDP, you may use DHL, however, DHL shipments will be sent as DAP (Delivered at Place).
Due to repeated issues with duties and taxes being billed back to the shipper when using DAP, we are now restricting all FedEx shipments to Saudi Arabia to DDP (Delivered Duties Paid) only, effective immediately. This policy applies to shipments from all of our warehouse locations, and unfortunately, we are unable to override this process. This measure is in place to ensure consistency and to prevent further billing issues.
For more information, please refer to our FAQ:

Thank you for your understanding. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

The shipment process is take longer because of the need to verify with ridiculous identification. And the ability to upload and print invoice should be there, instead we have to contact customer to give the invoice. Not every purchase got invoice upfront. So you need to add button to upload Files on the package inbox.
To help speed up processing, please note that invoices can now be uploaded directly via the “INCOMING” page:
https://www.forward2me.com/incoming-package
This allows you to upload invoices instantly without contacting customer service, streamlining the process and reducing delays.
Thank you for your cooperation as we continue to improve operations.

I’m reaching out regarding your shipment, which has now been successfully delivered and cleared through customs.
We noticed your review describing a very frustrating experience, including incorrect tax information, limited shipping options, and lack of communication. We completely understand why this caused frustration, and we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience you experienced during the process.
Since the shipment is now resolved, we wanted to ask if you feel the outcome reflects an updated experience. If you believe the situation has improved compared to when the review was written, we would greatly appreciate it if you’d consider updating your review to reflect the final resolution.
Hi,
Not really since you said it was on it's way back, so it arrived in spite of your emails.
Obviously you take no responsibility of the taxes either so if anything worse.
Hope your improvements go swimmingly.

After reviewing your case, we would like to clarify that the goods were shipped as requested. However, the payment of duties and taxes in the destination country is the responsibility of the recipient.
We always advise our customers to check applicable duties and taxes prior to shipping to avoid any unexpected charges upon delivery.
We appreciate your understanding on this matter.

We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you’ve experienced during the transition from MyGermany to Forward2Me.
Forward2me acquired certain assets from MyGermany in order to continue providing service to its customers. This was an urgent rescue process rather than a standard migration.
We understand how concerning it is to not see your shipments in your Forward2Me inbox, and we take this very seriously. Our team is actively working to resolve these issues and ensure all data and shipments are properly accounted for.
We appreciate your patience during migrations.

We understand your frustration and disappointment regarding the recent issues with deliveries to our Germany (DE) warehouse, especially when being asked to add “forward2me” to the shipping address.
Following multiple investigations with DHL Paket Germany few years ago, we have been formally informed that DHL’s system does not recognize our customers as valid recipients unless the company name “forward2me” is clearly included in the address. DHL has stated that, without this identifier, they are unable to associate the shipment with a registered recipient at our DE warehouse.
As a result, once packages arrive at the regional DHL distribution center (ZIP code 16303), they are not even attempted for delivery. Instead, they are automatically flagged and returned with statuses such as “Shipment returned – shipment does not meet our dispatch conditions” or marked as “wrong address.” This occurs solely because DHL’s system cannot locate the recipient name in their database.
W strongly believe that DHL Paket Germany is acting unfairly and discriminatorily toward our business model and the services we provide. Due to the ongoing disruption and financial impact on our customers and operations, we have decided to pursue legal action against DHL Germany to address this matter.
Adding “forward2me” to the recipient name on all Germany-bound orders is the only way to ensure successful delivery and avoid automatic returns.
We truly appreciate your patience and cooperation during this time

I ordered a bottle of spirits from a US auction house and paid for it to be shipped by UPS to the forward2me warehouse in the US. However, the first email I received informed me that forward2me could not ship alcohol outside of the US to England.
I then asked a friend if I could use their US address for delivery and submitted a second request to customer service, offering to pay for the postage myself. Unfortunately, the second response was even more disappointing. The customer service team requested that I provide a return label from the UK for the return postage label from the US to the US. The value of the spirits is over $1000 USD, and instead of helping, the customer service representative offered to dispose of it free of charge.
I chose the forward2me because I need someone to look after my package in the USA and can help me forward it safely to England. It is almost 7 days and I still have no any solution to get my package back.
I sincerely apologise for the issues you’ve experienced with your shipment.
As stated in our FAQ https://forward2me.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360016228420-Can-I-ship-alcohol-via-forward2me, we are unable to offer alcohol shipments from our US warehouse. On this occasion, the only options available are to:
Return the item to the sender,
Ship to a local address (within the US), or
Dispose of the item.
I also note that you provided a prepaid label for your international address, which we unfortunately cannot use. Our system can only process prepaid labels that are intended for returns, not for forwarding internationally, as explained in the FAQ https://forward2me.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/15737114596764-Can-I-use-my-own-shipping-labels-for-international-shipping.

NICA helped me understand the 2-battery-per-box limit and worked out how to split everything efficiently. The whole process involved a lot of questions from me about FedEx Economy vs Priority, duty prepayment options, cost comparisons she answered everything clearly and never made me feel like I was being annoying.
When I needed quotes fast to make a decision, she got them to me same day. The shipping invoice process worked smoothly once we figured out the right configuration.
Really solid customer support from start to finish.
