1. Your website advertised DPD shipping. When the time came to ship it, DPD was unavailable, and I had to use expensive one-day express DHL.
2. Other forwarding companies do not include the shipping price in the customs declaration. Because you included the shipping price in the customs declaration, the total value of goods plus shipping reached the threshold and I had to pay customs tax.

Update:
3. There is no easy way to know up front what shipping options are available for different warehouses. And when your package arrives at the warehouse there is no way back, you have to pay for expensive shipping if there are no cheap options available.

Hi Gramer,

Thanks for the feedback.

Regarding the availability of DPD shipping, we regret any confusion that may have arisen. Please note that DPD shipping is currently only available from our UK warehouse and is limited to shipments destined for France, Germany, and the Netherlands. As you are shipping from our Guernsey warehouse, we regret to inform you that DPD is not an option at this location. However, we do offer expedited shipping services through DHL and FedEx, which are available for your convenience. When checking pricing cost on our website, it's crucial to verify that you have selected the correct warehouse for shipping before finalizing your purchase.

We kindly ask that you double-check the shipping warehouse location listed on our pricing page before proceeding with your order. This will ensure that your goods are dispatched from the most suitable location, optimizing efficiency and reducing transit times.

We have received conflicting information regarding the inclusion of shipping costs on commercial invoices, with some customers insisting on its presence while others claim it is unnecessary. Similarly, couriers have provided differing advice on this matter. While we have been advised that including shipping costs is not mandatory, we acknowledge that customs offices may have varying requirements.

To address this issue and provide you with greater control over your shipments, we have implemented a feature that allows you to choose whether shipping costs appear on the commercial invoice. We understand that individual preferences may vary, and we want to accommodate your specific needs.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to assist you in any way we can.

Many thanks,

I registered an account and used the account address when ordering a coffee machine that the web shop did not ship outside of Germany.
A few days later I received a notification that my parcel had arrived at the Forward2me warehouse and I selected a carrier and paid. A few days later my parcel arrived in Stockholm.

Way too expensive/no reasonable choice between carriers and prices. Never has it cost me almost $200au to deliver a small 1-2kg package from uk to aus and that included unnecessary repacking delays of a week. I expected c$100 - $110au max. The average cost of delivery of small items without forwarding service is $60au, so I did expect FTM to mark up, just not to 98 pounds or c $185au! As this seems to be the norm though, hopefully i will never need to use a forwarding service again.

Hi Jemma,

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm sorry to hear about your disappointment with the cost and service provided.

I have checked you shipped with DHL express with actual weight of 1.79 kg and volumetric weight of 2.92 kg. 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 FedEx ) 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 on this occasion the volumetric weight is higher than the actual weight so the shipping fees are calculated on the higher volumetric weight.

As you are shipping to Australia, GST (Goods and Services Tax) are included in our services when shipping. This means that a 10% GST is applied to all goods with a value of $1000 Australian dollars or less that are being shipped via our services. Additionally, a 10% GST is also applied to the shipping fee for the service we provided. Please check this link https://www.ato.gov.au/other-languages/information-in-other-languages/gst/goods-and-services-tax-gst-when-you-sell-to-australia

By including GST in our services, we strive to simplify the shipping process and eliminate any surprises for our customers upon delivery.

If you have any further questions or if there's anything else we can assist you with regarding your shipment, please feel free to let us know. We're here to help and ensure a smooth shipping experience for you.

Many thanks,

I used this service for an Etsy purchase. I'm buying a lot of things for my upcoming wedding and I saw some items on Etsy that only shipped to the UK. I looked up ways to ship to the US, and foward2me looked like the safest bet. Going into it I was a bit hesitant, just because my purchases were so big. But, their customer service team did a great job assuring me that the packages were in safe hands. It only took about 5-6 days to receive my package and that's including shipping from retailer to my UK address. A little pricey but would definitely use again.

Gave me an inaccurate forwarding estimate cost to ship a package from Japan to the US, which ended up costing me forty extra dollars.

Forward2Me had labelled Fedex and UPS as usable services for my forwarding in the estimate I had made before making my purchase, however as soon as my package made it to their warehouse, conveniently the more expensive DHL was now the only option I could pick for shipping to my location, despite the previous estimate saying otherwise. With little choice but to use DHL at that point or simply lose the item I ordered forever or having to pay warehouse storage fees with them, I had the item shipped anyway.

With that said, my package did arrive in a timely and safe manner, nor was it lost in their warehouse. The website itself was easy to use and understand, and they have several options on countries to ship to.

I would be much more careful using them in the future due to the estimate issue previously mentioned, but if cost isn't an issue as it was in my case, the actual service quality and usability isn't bad at all.

the service its alright , but not that happy with it cuz, i order 2 package (same thing in both) 40pounds each , one to uk adress and one to uk tax free , the on ordered to uk transport was 22pounds+15 euro tax when it gets to my country , the one tax free was 55 pounds transport + 30 euros tax due to high price to transport , i didnt undersant why same fedex took so much on that adress and why name of adress is tax free if its not tax free, Update: they told me this : "
Your shipment in the UK has an actual weight of 1.22 kg and volumetric weight of 4.70 kg ( 42x35x16).

While in the UK tax free warehouse the actual weight is 1.21 kg and volumetric weight of 1.91 kg ( 32x23x13 cm )." Observations: the pairs where identical and same size and same model , order from 2 accounts due to discount limits me to only one pair per account ,so tell me guys where is that diffrence from2kg vol to 5 kg vol , 3 kg went where?

Hello Vlad,

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback regarding your recent shipping experience with us. We genuinely value your input as it helps us improve and address concerns that our customers may have.

I understand your frustration and confusion regarding the shipping costs and tax charges associated with the two packages you ordered. The discrepancies in the fees between the two shipments to the UK address and the UK tax-free address seem to have caused confusion, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. I will send you an email personally to discuss the difference.

To clarify, the term "Tax Free" specifically pertains to the exclusion of certain VAT sales taxes within the UK, but it does not imply exemption from duties and taxes imposed by the customs of the destination country, whether it be in the UK or Guernsey.

These duties and taxes charges are determined and levied by the customs authorities in the receiving country and are independent of the Tax Free status in the UK or Guernsey. It's important to factor in these additional costs to have a comprehensive understanding of the overall expenses associated with international shipping from our Tax Free warehouse.

Warm regards,
Aimee

In general the service is really good but the warehouse in the USA is a complete mess, they have lost some of my items 3 times, compared to the UK service the USA one takes weeks to update a received package or they just not simply update it unless you request it. About the invoices: sometimes they just add a package in review (when has arrived to the warehouse) to an existing one in ready to ship.

At least the customer service there is helpful.

I'll keep using it for UK stuff but I'm completely done with the USA warehouse.

Hi Angel,

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

Our aim is always to ensure that every package and customer experience meets the highest standards of reliability and efficiency.

Regarding your feedback on the invoices and the merging of packages, I understand how this could lead to confusion and inconvenience. We'll review our processes to ensure that such discrepancies are minimized, if not entirely eliminated.

I genuinely regret that you've reached this point of frustration with our USA warehouse operations. Please know that your feedback is invaluable, and we are committed to making the necessary improvements to regain your trust.

I will be reaching out to you personally.

Thank you once again for your feedback, and we hope to restore your confidence in our services.
