I had an excellent experience with Regilyn at forward2me.com. They were extremely helpful and efficient, making sure all my questions were answered promptly. Highly recommend!
We used Forward2me to ship some items to Greece. Initially all was good, order got to them, they repackaged it, but the repackaging could not complete until costs were added. It was not clear if it was cost of package or cost of individual items. As it turns out I doubled the value of the good shipped by assuming it was per package I think,
Shipping costs calculator said the max cost would be £200with UPS so we selected that. The cost of shipping was £842 😳. But once selected I could not change it.
Customs and duties are neither included or taken care of so we then had 2 weeks of trying to negotiate Greek customs to get our packages. All in all a massive headache and a really expensive one too.
Will be unlikely to use again.
Hi Vikki,
Thanks for the feedback.
We believe that you have shipped some duvet products from John Lewis. The actual weight of the goods is 72.82 kg. Due to them being divided among multiple boxes, we suggest combining and repacking them to reduce the number of boxes used, this why your packaga are marked as repacking required.
Every customer has the option to override this repack required tag if they prefer not to proceed with the repacking request.
When submitting a repack request, you receive an estimated price range based on the current weight and dimensions of the package. 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 on this occasion the volumetric weight is higher than the actual weight 72.82 kg so the shipping fees are calculated on the higher volumetric weight 135.63 kg.
Please check this FAQ link https://forward2me.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360013950960-What-is-volumetric-weight-and-how-will-it-affect-me?
Many thanks,

Kat was terrific. I have never purchased goods in this manner, so I was nervous about the validity of the company, and I was concerned I wouldn't receive my package. I just paid, so I will update this review when I receive the package. Thank you Kat!
Many thanks for the 5 star review for Kat❤️
I contacted the customer service to get a price match for my shipment since I saw that it was cheaper on a competitor's website and Joyce kindly helped me getting my discount. Thank you so much!
Many thanks for the 5 star review for Joyce❤️
I recently used forward2me to ship a large package containing an air portable conditioner, and I'm extremely pleased with the service I received. The entire process was smooth and efficient from start to finish.
Jane from the customer experience team was particularly helpful throughout. She provided excellent support, keeping me updated on the status of my package and promptly answering any questions I had. Her responsiveness and professionalism were truly impressive.
The delivery itself was handled with great care. Despite being a large and potentially fragile item, my air portable conditioner arrived in perfect condition. The packaging was secure and the item was delivered right on schedule.
What stands out about forward2me is their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. They went above and beyond to ensure my package arrived safely and on time.
I highly recommend forward2me for anyone looking for reliable international shipping, especially for larger items. Jane and the team provided top-notch service that exceeded my expectations. Five stars!
Many thanks for the 5 star review for Jane❤️
I tried to submit my purchase invoice in a jpeg format as required but it kept telling me I had an incorrect format. Nothing I could do but wait till the item came in and was reviewed for shipping.
After all that I got the message that the parcel requires repacking and as usual had to pay a premium to have the item shipped to me regardless of the "repack for savings". I have now found that the service is becoming way to expensive to use anymore and will most probably close my account.

A mostly convenient experience. Only drawback was that they didn't supply DHL with the fact that VAT had already been paid.
Got a delivery from UK to Germany. Fast delivery and nothing was damaged. Ordering, repackaging, etc. was easy and worked. I didn´t really know if repackaging would save me money due to the description on the forward2me website. Did it anyways. I had to pay a lot of Taxes when my Package crossed European borders. Thats what i didnt like. It was imported through the Netherlands and the people there actually took the time to correct my low evaluation for my imported products. So i payed double the amount of taxes i had estimated. Not the fault of forward2me. They could however give the option for me to import through Germany. Pretty sure they would not have corrected my evalutions. Overall very good service provided by Forward2me.
Hi Martin,
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're glad to hear that you found the delivery process from the UK to Germany to be fast and without any damage. It's also great to know that you found ordering and repackaging with Forward2me to be straightforward and efficient.
Just to let you know, we now offer Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) as part of our services, and it is currently available through DHL couriers when you shipped from the UK warehouse only.

Lo único negativo es que al pasar por las aduanas de mi país, España, me clavaron un sobreprecio, pero no es culpa de Forward2me. Así que muy recomnedable esta empresa.
Many thanks for the 5 star review. 😊
This is the second time I have been in contact with Jane.
She provides very efficient and pleasant assistance, answering all my questions and guiding me well through the various actions I needed to take.
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We are delighted to hear about your positive experience with Jane.❤️
I couldn't be happier with Forward to Me! Their service is exceptionally reliable, fast, and efficient. Having a UK address through them has made shopping in England easier than ever—now I can finally order everything I love from the UK without any hassle.
As a huge fan of England, finding this company has been an absolute game-changer. Their seamless process and outstanding customer service have brought me so much joy. I highly recommend Forward to Me to anyone looking for a trustworthy and convenient parcel forwarding service.
Thank you for making international shopping such a breeze!
Many thanks for the 5 star review. 😊
I am happy to be a customer of your wonderful company
Many thanks for the 5 star review. 😊
I accidentally sent DHL labels that had already been used in Ireland to the UK warehouse to return packages to Harrods. (These labels were already used in Ireland to send packages back to Harrods). DHL said that these labels would not have been able to be scanned twice. So they would not have picked up the packages from the UK warehouse. It was my mistake to send the incorrect labels, I admit that. But Forward2Me keeps telling me that the packages were delivered and to contact Harrods. Yes! The packages were picked up and delivered from Ireland. You can clearly see that on the DHL tracking. The packages were NOT picked up in the UK. This has been going on for 4 weeks! And about 20 emails back and forth. If they can't find the packages, let me know. But don't keep telling me they were delivered. If you started looking for the packages when I first contact you 4 weeks ago, you might have found them. Now I'm out HUNDREDS of pounds. Not helpful
Hi Kristen,
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you have experienced.
We understand that you accidentally sent previously used DHL labels from Ireland to our UK warehouse. We will immediately initiate a thorough investigation. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Many thanks,
Forward2me

The process was very easy and I could even do it on my phone. It was a stress-free and very smooth experience!
I ONLY use this forwarding place. I like there responsiveness to communication and emails. I had an item missing, sent picture of my order from the retailer, described the item and provided pictures of delivery and they located it. I'm very happy with their service and the service Kat has provided to me. I do recommend this company. Just pay attention to your orders and provide details you need they genuinely want to work with you and make it right!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're glad to hear that Kat's service has been exemplary.It's great to know that we were able to locate your missing item promptly after you provided the necessary details. Many thanks!
I recently had a challenging shipment and Regilyn from Forward2me went above and beyond to help me resolve the issues. They were incredibly helpful and everything went smoothly in the end. Absolutely recommend Forward2me, especially if you get Regilyn assisting you! 200% thumbs up!

Thanks to Julie for responding!
Many thanks for the 5 star review for Julie❤️
I will never use the service again, I got a broken laptop and there is nothing to be done. They re-package the items!
Hi Tiago,
I am very sorry to hear about the condition in which you received your laptop. I understand how frustrating this experience must be.
It appears that UPS was used as your courier and that no Protect+ was added to this shipment. Therefore, we will be filing a claim with UPS, and any compensation offered will be provided by them according to their terms of trade.
If any customer wishes to receive a full claim for the total value, we encourage them to add Protect+ Guarantee. You can review the terms of this guarantee at the following link: https://www.forward2me.com/protection-guarantee/
Please note that your items were not repacked by forward2me and they were shipped as is. We unfortunately do not have control over how it is handled once it leaves our warehouse or during its time with UPS.
If a customer wishes to request repacking for added safety, there is an additional charge of £3.
Many thanks,
Forward2me
Very good packing, good times but the costs are high and various charges from elsewhere banks couriers, etc
Thank you so much for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you're satisfied with the packing and delivery times. We work hard to ensure your items arrive safely and on time.
We believe you select Delivery duty unpaid, if you select this option, please be aware that you, as the recipient, are responsible for covering any applicable duties and taxes upon the package’s arrival in your country. These charges are typically determined by customs and may vary depending on the type of goods and local regulations.
To avoid unexpected costs, we recommend checking with your local customs office for an estimate of potential fees or adding DDP delivery duty paid on our services. If you have any questions or need assistance with shipping options, please don’t hesitate to let us know—we’re here to help!
Answer: Definitely legit. I used it several times from the USA and lately once from the UK
Many thanks for the 5 star review for Regilyn❤️
