Still recommend ForwardMe
EDIT: Ayberk reached out shortly after my original review was posted and offered a $15 refund as soon as my order is placed for revising my review after being explained the technical issue. I have revised the review since, but no $15 refund as of yet. I ended up placing my most recent order AFTER the problem was fixed, not before. So I didn’t end up paying $2400 CAD in shipping. For the prior orders placed (before seeing the oversized fees), I was also able to avoid as the weight was still considered under the weight limit. I do appreciate you reaching out as quickly as you did and in turn fixing the problem. So service remains the same, quick and responsive as always. I still recommend ForwardMe. ************************ Original: Service is good except the shipping rate is becoming ridiculous. I wanted to ship a single popmart blind box to Canada, the rate was $57.83 USD. I added one more package that contained 7 blind boxes (Labubu and Mickey Family) and the total shipping jumped to $330.11 USD! Originally I wanted to ship everything at once (9 packages currently stored at ForwardMe, some are flat envelopes and some are 1 item boxes and some with 5-7 blind boxes)….but then the shipping would be $1766.80 USD ($221.80 USD shipping + $220 USD oversized shipment fee + $1325.00 USD overweight fee)…which would be $2400 CAD. Now I have to figure out how to ship the packages without costing me an arm and a leg. Once I have shipped the remaining packages, I think it’ll be the last time I use ForwardMe. I’ll have to find a different mail forwarding service where the shipping is more reasonable.
Response from Forwardme.comJul 9, 2025
Thank you for your feedback, Gloria — we completely understand your frustration, and we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience you’ve experienced. We’d like to clarify that the high shipping cost you encountered was caused by a technical error related to a new Oversize/Overweight fee system we recently integrated into our platform. Although both our operations and tech teams carefully tested this system before launching, an unexpected glitch occurred in the live environment, which unfortunately affected a small number of shipments — including yours. As soon as we identified the issue, we immediately disabled this feature to prevent it from affecting further shipments. We also reviewed your case specifically and sent you an email explaining the situation before you placed your shipping order. However, it appears that the email was overlooked, and you proceeded with your shipment despite the error still affecting your order at that moment. If we had received a response to our message before your order was finalized, we could have resolved the issue for you before processing the shipment. We’d still be more than happy to assist and find a solution for you. Please feel free to contact our Customer Support team at your earliest convenience — we’re here to help. Once again, we apologize for this rare situation and hope we can assist you in resolving it as soon as possible. 🙏📦
