“I always choose to use ForwardVia to have goods sent overseas. The service is very efficient. Once the parcels have arrived at their offices they are dealt with very quickly and packaged well for sending overseas. I have no complaints about the service. The cost may seem a lot but it is expensive to send goods overseas.”

Thank you for your great feedback and lovely comments. We are very pleased that you have been satisfied with the service you have received from our team at ForwardVia. We regularly review our rates to remain competitive. Due to the current situation, and with limited flights availability, many Carriers increased their shipping rates. Unfortunately, we have no choice but to pass it on to our customer. It is worth noting that the price paid for shipping not only includes the transit fees, it includes the use of a UK address, the acceptance, processing, storing and dispatch of your goods including any export documentation required and full customer support for tracked services until delivery. We look forward to offering you our shipping services again very soon.

Hi, Many thanks for taking the time to review our services however I'm sorry to hear that you haven't received your package. We can see you've chosen to ship using economy service via Landmark. The estimated shipping time for this service is 25 business days. This is as stated on our websote and shown when you order the service. You ordered to ship it on 14th May and as of today, 17 business days have past. Upon checking the tracking available in your account, we can see delivery was attempted. The latest tracking show 'Addressee not at address indicated - Addressee's office closed'. You should contact your local post urgently to arrange redelivery. Failing that the package will be returned to sender. Feel free to get in touch with our friendly customer service or email help@forwardvia.com if you need assistance with the shipment.

“Quite expensive for medium weight packs. ussing two tracks, making in total 3 legs considering the initial shipping to warehouse. Fees for each item and consolidation not fair. I.e. for a 3.2 kg net weight (excluidng wraping) shipping to Spain I payed 23,4 euros/kg (without custom tax) Similar shipping from Germany is 6 euros/kg, From US 12 to 15 euros/kg”

Hi, many thanks for taking the time to review our services however I'm sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the price paid was higher than expected. Shipping cost based purely on size and destination. We can see the Carrier you've chosen was Landmark which is a 2-legged service for the package size it cost £48. There are other lower cost and quicker options, direct to Spain which was offered, but was not selected for example DHL Express cost is £33. The weight is 3.8 kg, hence it would have been £8.68 / kg or 10 Euros / kg. Feel free to use our shipping calculator on our website to check and compare the prices. If you have difficulty The price paid for shipping not only includes the transit fees, it includes the use of a UK address, the acceptance, processing, storing and dispatch of your goods including any export documentation required and full customer support for tracked services until delivery. The consolidation fee is fixed and charge per package. The fee is for us to combine multiple packages, which include our staff cost, shipping box, and packing materials. Shipping it separately or as individual package would have cost you significantly more. We offer Premium membership where the consolidation fee is halved and additional shipping discount. All the charges mentioned above are publicly listed on our website for our customer to check the prices and compare before deciding to use our service. I hope this information helps going forward and that you will consider using our services again. Feel free to get in touch with our friendly customer service if you encounter any issue using our service.

“Unfortunately my experience with them was not so good. I don't mind paying the fees for combining packages but the UPS fee was a shock. From the US to Ireland would cost $30 but to pay £30 from UK to Ireland is really bad It has been 3 weeks since my package was sent and the tracking message has been repeating daily now since arrival at UPS Ireland on the 12th of May: "Your package is pending release from a non-UPS broker. Contact the non-UPS broker for additional information."There is no contact information. I have written this off as a bad experience”

Hi, we are sorry to hear the issue you've encountered. We can see that your package was dispatched from us and the Courier, UPS you selected collected from us the next business day. Shipments can sometimes take longer to get through. Unfortunately, once the consignment leaves our warehouse, it is out of our control as we do not handle the delivery of it in transit. We can only advice you to get in touch with our customer service, and we are more than happy to assist you. Due to the current unprecedented COVID-19 situation and BREXIT, please allow ample time for delivery. This has become quite common with many countries putting in restrictions especially food related items into the EU. We have a number of parcels taking longer than usual for delivery, and some returned due to EU import restrictions. We contacted UPS on 28th May after seeing your review, and they responded to say that the shipment has been released by custom and are still waiting for them to forward the package to the destination facility. We just checked the UPS tracking today and we can see that it has been delivered on 31 May at 9:15 am. We trust that the issue has been resolved. If you have any further questions or need further assistance please don't hesitate to get in touch. Our customer service team are always happy to help.
