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.

As always Forward2me never failed me, I love the tax free shipping in the UK and combining the package does save a lot of money.

It works but it is so incredibly expensive. I would only use this service if I had no other option.

Hi,
Many thanks for your feedback.
I'm sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the cost of using our service, we do feel that we offer value for money seeing as the price paid is not only for shipping but includes the use of the address, the acceptance, processing, storing of your parcel until shipping, preparation for shipping and any export labelling required for your shipment.
We do not charge a monthly or annual fee like some of our competitors and offer a 30 day free storage period to allow customers to collate their parcels and ship them together to obtain maximum value for shipping.
We are aware some larger retailers can offer shipping very cheaply however we are unable to compete with these companies as they cover their costs on the actual sale of the products, they often sell shipping at either at cost or a loss dependent on the deal they can obtain from the courier.
We have also experienced challenges with pricing this year due to couriers adding emergency surcharges and peak surcharges to cover their additional costs relating to the CV-19 pandemic. We only pass on these surcharges to our customers at cost.
I hope this helps explain what is actually included in the price you pay to forward2me and that you will hopefully consider using our services again in the future.
We wish you all the very best for the coming year.
Kind Regards,
Tracy.

Your delivery service filled a need for an item could not get, since I live in the U.S. I did try the tax free warehouse, thinking it would be cheaper from reading the claim that was made in your description. I should have used your estimator on site. to see it would cost me 49 more pounds to ship. If I had gone thru your other warehouse, I would pay the V.A.T., but ultimately get a refund. Otherwise the chess collection arrived in a timely manner.

Hi,
Many thanks for taking the time to review our services however I'm sorry that shipping to the tax free warehouse was not cost effective for you on this occasion.
We do always advise that customers check our pricing page at all warehouses to compare shipping prices for shipping from different addresses. Guernsey is a small island with limited infrastructure so costs do tend to be a little higher than when shipping from mainland UK.
When purchasing goods for delivery to the tax free warehouse you need to consider the amount of vat refunded compared to the cost of shipping from this facility to ensure that you obtain the maximum value for shipping. The address is mainly aimed at receiving high value goods where the saving on vat is cost effective overall for the customer.
I hope this helps explain the Guernsey warehouse further however if you have any other questions please feel free to contact our Customer Service team at any point and we will be happy to assist you.
Kind Regards,
Tracy.

One candle glass is broken

Hi,
Many thanks for your feedback however I'm sorry to hear that your shipment has arrived and one of the items are broken.
I see that the delivery was made on 07.12.20 however we don't appear to have received an email from you regarding the broken item. We rely on customers contacting us within 24 hours to advise us of any damages to shipments so we can then contact our couriers to open a claim.
Unfortunately you have left the report via this review too late for us to submit a claim with the courier however if you could provide us with a photograph of the broken item, how the goods had been packaged and any damage to the exterior part of the box, we can then investigate this fully within our own team to see if we could have handled the shipment better?
We hope to hear from you soon so we can look to resolve this matter for you.
Kind Regards,
Tracy.

Hi,
Many thanks for taking the time to provide us with your feedback however I'm sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the cost of shipping your item.
The cost of shipping is generally calculated by the amount of space that your shipment occupies, rather than the actual weight. This is called the volumetric weight. All couriers (examples: DHL and TNT) use the volumetric weight to calculate their shipping prices. However, if the actual weight is more than this volumetric weight then the shipping price is calculated using this actual weight.
I see that your although your package was light, the actual volumetric weight was 5.6 kg so the cost of shipping was based on the higher volumetric weight rather than the actual weight.
I also noticed that you have not taken advantage of our combine and repack service, many of our customers submit a request for this service if the volume of their parcel is higher than the actual weight, often due to retailers in the UK shipping in larger boxes than necessary, the parcel can be reduced in size to save on overall costs when shipping.
Another way of making a saving is taking advantage of our free 30 day storage period, many customers collate a number of parcels within this period and collate them into one shipment to obtain the maximum value for shipping.
Finally the cost of shipping does also include our service, we offer a free UK address, accept, process, store your parcel until you are ready for shipping and prepare the goods for dispatch, this includes any export paperwork required for shipping. We cannot compete with many UK retailers who ship overseas, they cover their costs with the sale of the goods however forward2me offer a service only so this is included in the final shipping price.
I hope this all helps explain how costs are calculated and the services we offer however if you have any further questions please don't hesitate to get in touch and we will be happy to assist you.

Extremely happy with Forward2me services. My package was delivered to their warehouse exactly a week ago and DHL delivered it to me today - which is amazing at this busy time just days before Christmas and less than two weeks before the end of the transition period (the last chance to order from the UK without taxes and customs duties). I needed to discuss something with their customer services and again , the reply was very quick and helpful. Recommended!

Hi there,
Many thanks for your comments.
We are sorry to hear you are dissatisfied with the cost of shipping on this occasion.
I can see you have processed one recent shipment through our services from our Germany warehouse.Our shipping rates are reviewed each year, with each of the courier services, to make them as cost effective as possible based on the volume of packages that we receive and we do also apply our service charge to the overall shipping prices, with the couriers, as a percentage. Please be aware that it is a service that you are paying for through our company as well as shipping.
Our shipping rates from our UK warehouse are more competitive for international shipping, than our partner warehouses such as Germany, Guernsey and Japan. This is mainly due to the volume of packages not being high enough to get a variable rate or other alternative courier options for international shipping, besides the DHL courier services. We have checked our shipping rates for Germany, against other active forwarding agents, within Germany, and we are very satisfied that our prices are on par with the current rates and cost of shipping from Germany.
I hope this helps you further and answers your concerns.
We do hope this matter does not deter you from using our services in the future and we hope you consider amending your current rating based on the information we have provided you.
Please do email in to us if you have any more questions or concerns and we would be more than happy to assist you.
Kind RegardsHayley

Complicated and very expensive. Completely unnecessary repackaging and weight claim much higher than from original sender.

Hi,
Many thanks for your feedback however I'm sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the service we offer.
I see that the contents of your shipment was alcohol, we do need to follow a different process for these types of shipments as we require approval for shipping with the courier. When shipping alcohol customers are asked to contact Customer Service so we can check that we can ship the alcohol legally to your country, then have the goods repacked so they are safe for international transit.
I'm sorry if this process took a little longer than you expected and you found the process complicated however we need to always ensure that we comply with the courier regulations before going ahead with shipping. It's disappointed that you felt that we overpacked the goods but we need to comply with the couriers guidelines on repacking, if we don't they would hold us responsible for any breakages.
Shipping costs are calculated on the amount of space the shipment takes up in transit, this is called the volumetric weight. When alcohol is repacked this can mean that the parcel increases in size which can also make shipping costs higher however our main aim is to ensure that the goods are received in good condition.
I hope this helps explain our procedures for packing and shipping alcohol however if you have any further questions please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Kind Regards,
Tracy.

Hi,
Many thanks for your feedback.
I'm sorry to hear that your box arrived damaged however pleased that the goods inside were undamaged. I see that you did not take advantage of our combine and repack service and the goods have been shipped out in the original shipping box. We do offer the combine and repack service before shipping, this service both helps with ensuring your goods are packaged as securely as possible and helps reduce the package removing any excess volume so you obtain the maximum value for shipping.
We are happy to remove invoices at request and have made a note of this on your account for our team to action this on arrival of your goods however if an invoice is present we do add this value to the package for shipping as the true value of the goods is required for customs purposes.
I hope this information helps going forward however if you require any further assistance from our Customer Service team when you next ship please feel free to contact us at info@forward2me.com.
