Forward2Me

Forward2Me is relatively straight forward and easy to get started with. You can easily signup via Facebook, Google+ or an email address. The system automatically chooses your country based on your location, which you can change via drop-down box if required. There is no signup or subscription fee; ever.

Once your signup is complete, you get a package forwarding UK address immediately, and a welcome message confirms your payment methods based on your country. Make sure you read it carefully because once the alert is dismissed, you will not see the approved payment methods again nor can you check it unless you are ready to pay for shipment or shopping services.

Your new addresses are located in the left panel of your account that you can use when filling out your delivery details when shopping online. Unlike many other services, you can start shopping and shipping to your Forward2Me UK parcel forwarding address immediately after signup. There is no lengthy documentation or verification process at the time of signup (though they may require some verification depending on your delivery address and mode of payment) and you don't need to register incoming packages with them. This step alone is a hassle and saves valuable time.

Once your packages arrive, you can see them in Package Inbox where you can select each package and order extra services such as requesting photos, combine & repack or simple consolidation where all shipments are placed in 1 larger box and shipped. Here you also get to choose from multiple shipping options available for your country.

Forward2Me provides a host of services that would benefit the occasional overseas shopper as well as UK Expats who still want a piece of their homeland with them no matter where they are located geographically. Customer Service is critical to run such services, and we found them to be top notch with our queries. If you're looking for a UK shipper and don't want to bother family or friends, then they appear to be a good choice for international parcel service.
