Fastest service! I ordered from couple of stores in the USA to ship my home, Australia. I requested them to combine my shipments and as soon as everything arrived at Forward.me address, they consolidated and shipped next day and I choose to ship by FedEx (which they also provide Fedex express) and I've received my packages in 2 DAYS! It is faster than the other forwarder services I've ever used. It was very well packed and they didn't even forget to include coupons from the merchants. Excellent service!
I am in Australia and have tried a few of these mailing services. Some have been more expensive. Some won't send multiple packages together. I have found forwardme to be the right internation postage site for me. The best part is that customer service. I had a package that was taking a little longer to arrive and I noticed that by the time it finally arrived, one of my other packages would be over the hold limit. I contacted support and explained the situation and I had no issues and could send everything out a few days late. Another time I had a duty tax problem in my country and I needed a form to be updated to fix things and they helped me out. I had accidentally added an extra 0 on the dollar amount. After showing all the receipts and that it had been a genuine mistake, they helped with emails and forms and just made the process a lot less painless. The postage price is a little unfortunate, but that is only because of the poor currency conversion that has been going on these past months. The price on their side is actually quite reasonable. Mostly I appreciate the positive customer service.
I am so happy that I have come across Forward.me.
I have been welcomed and provided with phenomenal services!
James who attended to many of my initial emails was exceptional; his professionalism, knowledge and support are second to none! He guided me patiently and kindly through the whole process, from start to finish. James responded quickly, communicated clearly and made sure that all aspects of service are in place. The shipment was priced reasonably and to my amazement arrived to Australia within few days, (FedEx standard)! The services, with giant credits to James are exceptional, competent, and reliable in every possible aspect of quality customer care!!
Many thanks James, for being super awesome, super kind and wonderful!!!
And also loads of thank you's to Forward.me team of dedicated people for the labour of care and efficiency!
This was my first time using a forwarding Address service. I messaged forward me on their online chat as the store I wanted to order from was not listed. The Customer Service staff member added the store to the list of stores I could order from and answered other questions that I had. I then followed the very simple process of using the address given to order from the store. I added the details to my little dashboard, and when my parcel arrived, I was notified and could choose the delivery company. Overall, the experience was very straightforward and very reassuring and trustworthy. I’m so grateful to be able to order things from America that I cannot purchase in Australia. Thank you so much, Forwardme
I started using ForwardMe when some indie companies in the US were unable to keep shipping to Australia during the 2020 lockdowns. I found ForwardMe after doing some research, and I haven't stopped since. The platform is really easy to use, and their customer support is very quick and efficient. I've never had a problem with the service and when I've had trouble with the delivery partners they've made sure to get in touch and investigate what's going on on my behalf. I recommend ForwardMe often to friends and family and will continue to use it.

Forward.me is such a great service !!! It isn't easy to find, I found them by chance and I don't really know how, I was looking for companies that propose this kind of service and for me it is the nicest.
The team is very friendly ; I was skeptical at first because I had to give my credit card number (??), I contacted the support to ask to cancel my subscription and finally I could make my purchase without giving my informations.
(I had to apologize because I was very agressive - I thought they were thieves - but they all stayed calm and friendly :) )
Once the package arrived, I get 1 photo for free of the content of the box.
Unfortunately (of course) I had to pay the customs fees once arrived.
Forward.me is sterling ! Trust me, I really beware of internet and I always look for the best product, service etc..
I am gonna make another purchase, and if needed I will update my review.
I had a very professional new experience with forwardme that i did not had with most famous shipping forwarders i worked with. They have a very clear procedural dashboard with clear images of order’s receiving that make you rest assured of your delivered orders. They really have a great support team with fast and detailed reply, and the most important i have experienced is they took care of re-packaging two medium boxes in one single box without charging any additional fees, that made my package easier in clearance and less in shipping expenses… Keep going greatly forward :)
