Good start but downhill later possibly. Update - Situation resolved full
Good experience so far, hoping for help resolving one issue
My experience with Forward2Me has been good overall. My package arrived at their warehouse quickly, the paid photo request came back fast with clear shots, and I got timely email updates as my package moved through their repack queue.
One thing I'm hoping gets sorted: my package needed their mandatory "Combine & Repack" service after the original packaging was flagged as poor quality by their specialists. I chose "Repack for Safety" specifically to stay eligible for Protect+ insurance — but once the repack was done and the package showed READY, Protect+ was blocked with the message that it's "not available for this request, because it contains a parcel that our specialists advised to be repacked."
I've checked their Terms of Trade and their own "Shipments NOT Eligible for Claims & Protect+" article and can't find this listed as an exclusion anywhere, so it may just be a system glitch rather than intentional. I've emailed twice about it and tried calling, but haven't been able to get a direct answer yet.
Everything else about the process has been smooth, and I'd genuinely like to give this a higher rating — just hoping someone from the team can take a look and help get it sorted.
Update: they have responded and worked on my concern. Thank you forward2me.
Update: issue fully resolved, Protect+ now applied
Updating this after a few more days. The core problem — Protect+ being blocked after my package was flagged for repacking — turned out to be a genuine system glitch on their end: my original repack request had gotten stuck, which was blocking insurance eligibility even though nothing was actually wrong with the package. To their credit, once I pushed on it with documentation, they investigated properly, reproduced the error themselves, escalated it internally, and fixed it. Protect+ is now showing correctly on my shipment.
It took a few days of back-and-forth to get there, and the early support replies didn't always match what I could see on my own account, which was frustrating in the moment. But Jamie on their Customer Experience team stuck with it, kept me updated, and saw it through to an actual fix rather than a brush-off.
Bumping this up because the outcome was right in the end: a real problem, taken seriously, and properly resolved. Would use them again.
