Hard to find a trusted service provider these days. Especially when your goods include lithium batteries. They are the one, very helpful, upfront, reliable, responded my queries in timely manner, and I got my item imported from UK, delivered to my place without any issue.
I used to love forward2me but the cost of my recent package was twice what it normally would be. Numerous extra charges and limited shipping options. This may have been the last time I'll use this service.
Forward 2 Me is very efficient and I'm very happy to receive an item from a site that doesn't ship to Australia however, the cost of shipping is really outrageous (I'm sure that's not the fault of the business). I would like to see an option to use Royal Mail which would be at least a little cheaper. It doesn't really make it cost effective when the shipping is more expensive than the item purchased.

The company is very organised and I am always impressed by the personal response from the WhatsApp customer support service.
However, I think the shipping is too expensive to make it worth it. I would use the service much more and would even be willing to pay a monthly fee to use it. But shipping fees for individual instances are extortionate.
If it's something you really need or it's some sort of emergency I would recommend the service, but until it's more cost effective I would not recommend using it regularly.

Shipments always reach my virtual address. Communication is perfect - I always get information about all events including received shipment, prepared to send shipment, sent shipment, shipment tracking information, any changes. Operations are fast and prompt. Choice of couriers is good.

Aimee has provided excellent customer service. I wasn't expecting an email but she took the initiative to reach out and provide an update with the status of my parcel and provided a solution that'll best help me. Great work to Forward2Me and your staff. Thank you

I needed something that could only be bought on ebay in the UK and the seller did not ship internationally. I was informed of this service which while free upfront, ended up costing an exorbitant amount to ship if I wanted tracked and insured shipping (which FedEx offers at £2 above the cost to ship but Forward2me charged an extra £20 to add on top of the £48 cost to ship so £68 and I got my item but they didnt put "fragile" on the package they shipped limed the original shipper did so my packaged came smashed up. Thankfully with minimal (but still some) damage to my merchandise. Overall I am happy to finally get the item but feel ripped off by the price vs. Service ratio!

Really happy with forward2me. Showed steps in the process (like where my package was in the queue to be repackaged) and sent frequent emails on the state of my package. Clean and efficient process. The repackaging kept my stuff safe and compact! Would definitely use this service again when looking to get things overseas.
Date of experience: February 16, 2023
I received my item intact. However, the original package was opened at forward2me and repackaged sloppily and poorly. If you are going to open packages, at least put them back together the way they came with the original packing. Original box and packaging was in shambles.

Hi Jesus,
Thanks for your feedback.
I am sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the repack.
You don't appear to have contacted our customer experience team to report the repack of your goods before submitting this review.
In order for us to thoroughly conclude this matter, we would really appreciate it if you could provide more details and images to our customer experience team from info@forward2me.com so we can investigate further.
We look forward to hearing from you.
I hope this helps you further.
Kind Regards
Hayley
There are a couple of things to note if this is your first time using this service. First, I would make sure to request that they double check your order contents (only available upon request) to make sure the original shipper didn't make any mistakes as this does happen from time to time. Second, it is worth noting that if you are shipping a food or drink item to the US you will be asked to fill out a form with the FDA which notifies them upon arrival of what the contents of the package are. The forms are a bit tedious but if you are ordering a food item from another country I'm guessing you're doing so because it's worth the headache. The service itself is rather pain free and straight forward, ship to the address they give you then select the delivery option that suits you best. It really is faster than expected.

First time forwarding anything so I'm not experienced with freight forwarding.
I found their website so easy I felt as if I was missing something. Their information when items arrived was thorough, and picking a shipping option and payment method was incredibly easy as well.
I really appreciate the service and will absolutely use it again.

Company was transparent about having a transitional phase between warehouses and made me feel at ease about it. I was even offered a discount for the inconvenience on the shipping. Truly amazing customer service! Package arrived in the warehouse in a few days and was straightforward how to pay to ship.
Date of experience: March 21, 2023
When the package arrived in my Inbox there was a statement suggesting it is repackaged for shipping. No reason given (which would help). Shipping queue for repackaging was 641 items which support told me would take 2-3 days, notwithstanding a public holiday inbetween. This would mean my package would sit for another week before it was shipped out which is way too slow. I requested immediate shipping with no repackaging and once the shipment eventually left it got to me super quick by DHL

Hi Lazaros,
Thanks for your feedback.
There are packages that we receive and mark as 'Repacking Required' either because we have identified the current packaging for the goods as poor and insufficient and feel the contents would be at risk of being damaged and to make sure the contents is more safely packed for international shipping or because we feel there would be a sufficient amount of excess space to save you by repacking.
If a package is labeled as "Repack Recommended," you have the option to proceed with shipping and override the repack services, customers dont need to wait on the que.
I appreciate your patience and feedback on this matter.
Kind Regards,
Forward2me
Does exactly what you expect, you can forwards packages to their warehouse in Japan and they will then re-freight with an international courier. The customs process was alll very simple and I received the goods very rapidly. I would say the international shipping options are quite expensive, but I would definitely use this service again.

Since the first time I used the website to transfer parcels.
I found that the speed was really fast and the communication was very timely.
This time the package arrived at the UK warehouse and I encountered a problem with the payment.
Thank you Honey for your patient help and solution.
Wish everything goes well.

Was struggling to get a motorcycle part shipped from the UK to the US. REGILYN was superb in her communication skills and content of her answers. As it turns out, the Ebay shipper changed his profile that allowed me to get the part without using Forward2Me. That said...it doesn't negate the fact that these people are very attentive to customers. Highly recommend them. Rick
Date of experience: September 22, 2023
Dear Rick,
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear about your positive experience with our customer support team, particularly Regilyn.
While it's great to know that you were able to obtain the motorcycle part you needed without using Forward2Me, we truly appreciate your kind words and the recommendation.
If you have any more questions or need assistance with anything else down the road, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're always here to help.
Safe riding, and thank you for choosing Forward2Me!
Best regards,
The Forward2Me Team
I've been using their service for about two years now. Before this, I've used at least three other international services, and this one is the best. Their customer support is excellent and on point, their package handling is methodical and prompt, and their portal works very well. They operate in the geographies I'm interested in: EU, UK and the US.

Hi Shuvam.
Thank you for this amazing review!
We really appreciate your feedback and very pleased to hear that you are satisfied with the service we offer.

We look forward to working with you again very soon.
Take care.
Kind Regards

Took forever for my parcel to be shipped from them, was an adult novelty gift and they classed it as military grade, which was ridiculous. If the military uses adult novelty hand cuffs, then we have a huge problem with our military and we should all be afraid. Overall, my parcel was extremely late and I was very dissatisfied with the service.

So far, my experience has been very pleasant with Forward2Me! I have had about 3-4 packages shipped to me so far from them, and all have arrived to me in a timely manner in good condition. I would definitely recommend their service and use again in the future!

The courier service used is expensive and I did not have a choice but to add on re-packaging and consolidation for my one item a sleeveless top. Customer service said that it must be done else the freight will cost more. But I paid ~GBP43.30 - it is way too expensive versus other forwarding sites (that probably is able to pass though some of the synergies/ties-up with courier companies as cost savings to us)...I will not use this any more.

Hi Sunn.
Thanks for your feedback.
There are packages that we receive and mark as 'Repacking Required' either because we have identified the current packaging for the goods as poor and insufficient and feel the contents would be at risk of being damaged and to make sure the contents is more safely packed for international shipping or because we feel there would be a sufficient amount of excess space to save you by repacking. The repack advisory on a package is not mandatory, you do not have to proceed with the repack for your packages and you can accept the risk of shipping packages as received.
If you wish to dismiss a repacking advisory for a package, please contact our Customer Experience team for assistance.
Please note, by requesting dismissal of a repacking advisory for your package (s), you agree that forward2me would no longer accept liability for any damages caused to the goods once shipped.
You can also find out more about our process by visiting the resource hub on our website where our experts explain all about volumetric weight, fuel surcharges, taxes, and other important aspects of our service. (https://www.forward2me.com/ask-the-experts/)
For peace of mind for all of our customers, forward2me offers two unique benefits:
1) Free return to sender. If you don't agree with the shipping options you can opt for the return to sender service within the website and we cover 100% of the cost.
2) Price match guarantee. If you find a cheaper price from a competitor, please just send us the details and we will match it- further details can be found here: https://www.forward2me.com/price-match-guarantee/
It appears you have already shipped your goods. Please contact our Customer Experience team and forward the details of any company offering the same service cheaper and we will refund the difference.
I hope the information provided is useful.

Each time i need help, Aimee, Nica and the guys from warehouse are there to help me find a solution in order to make my business profitable. How? Finding solutions to lower the weight of the shipment with a proper repack in order to fit as much as possible in the shipments. Each time i requested some legal papers, e.g stamp on the commercial invoice ( even that is not mandatory in our country), they provided the papers as the custom required just to pass the custom. This is why we intend to do business with them from man-years from now because they are client oriented.
Have all a great day!

When I was checking what forward parcel company to pick I picked yours because you had best deals and options for shipping. And really for my first package it was really affordable, around 20$ I think. But for the next one from England there were only DHL and Fedex options which each started from around 50 EUR. And my package was 48 pounds. So when they were doing customs that billed me 70$ because fees and taxes are made on both shipping and original bill for the product. Second thing is that you said that my package needed new box (repackaging) so you found biggest one you had to put A4 piece of paper like sheet that I ordered in 3 times bigger box so shipping bill will be more, even tho envelope was light and slim. Really unprofessional! For the money on your option of shipping and customs I had to pay next time I will just sit in the car and drive to the next country and by that item in person.

Good interaction platform, proper information regarding receipt of parcels, selection for repacking.
But final shipping price was quite higher (30%) compared to best and worst shipping prices advised before selection of carrier (TNT-Fedex). There was no option to change carrier at that point. Carrier (TNT-Fedex) charged excessive handling charges on delivery.
