If you’re looking to ship more than one package, why not take advantage of either our consolidation or combine and repack service to save you money?
If you want to make it possible to shop in the UK, Japan, Germany and USA but don’t want to spend a premium on shipping multiple items, then our consolidation or combine & repack service is for you. If you place more than one order to our forwarding warehouse we can hold your items for a 30 day period and either consolidate or re-pack them into one shipment, which will save you money on multiple shipment fees.
Our consolidation service and the combine & repack services are two separate options for those looking to save money on multiple shipments. Both are options that you can consider when ordering several packages to our warehouse. We’ll hold onto your packages for up to 30 days free of charge if you want us to use one of these options. After the initial 30 day period, it’ll cost £0.50 per day for us to keep hold of the options.
So what do the consolidation and combine & repack services look like?
The combine & repack service for forwarded packages is just £3 UK/ $3 USA / €3 Europe / ¥600 Japan+VAT per package and, as long as your packages all arrive within the 30 day period, it won’t cost you any more on top of that. If you select the combine & repack option we’ll remove the original packaging from the items you’ve ordered and combine them all into one package. This service is designed to stop you from having to pay individual shipping fees for each item. Merging your packages into one package can reduce the overall size of the individual shipments and save you money on getting it shipped from our warehouse to your country.
Package consolidation works a little differently. We’ll consolidate your package into one airway bill, but won’t remove the original packaging.
What this means is that your packages may remain completely separate from each other, but still be in the same shipment, or they may be combined into one box but remain in their original packaging.
The key difference is that your packages will remain in their original packaging and won’t necessarily be packed together into one box.
The process for ordering multiple orders from different retailers, consolidating or repackaging and then combining them into one handy shipment is as simple as:
We’ll hold onto your packages while we wait for all of your orders from different retailers to arrive.
When we’ve received all of your packages and merged them, you’ll receive a notification. At this point, you just need to log in to your account to select your courier. This is when you’ll need to pay any additional costs.
If you’re still unsure about how package forwarding works, check out our guide. Package consolidation is an additional service that’s offered in each warehouse for those looking to save on the cost of shipping multiple packages.

The experience was great. The customer service team was able to inquire on my concerns on how these things work out. I would definitely be working with you guys again as I feel more comfortable now.

Fantastic customer service! In particular, Windy, has helped me resolved shipping issues for laptops with battery, followed up with the USA warehouse team during the busy Christmas period and a tracking number of a package that was incorrectly recognised by the system and corrected it so the team can locate the package for shipment to the UK. All has been resolved in time and provided prompt responses and follow ups. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to shop in the States and have items shipped to the UK. Windy, sincerely thank you again! I hope you a great Christmas holiday when it arrives!

I must admit that I was a bit concerned using this service, given some of the negative reviews I read. However, after my own personal experience I can confidently say that this was the most seamless, smooth, and reliable forwarding service I have used! I received ample communication regarding my parcel and was given a few carrier options when it came down to forwarding to the United States. My items from the UK arrived undamaged and within a week of ordering from the original manufacturer! I’ll definitely be using Forward2me in the future when ordering from London.

Forward2me makes every transaction run smoothly. Prices are on the expensive side to be very honest but I’ve never had an issue so far

Forward2me shipment
Our package went missing! Once proof of receipt was sent to Forward2me from the sender, they quickly found my package and processed it in the early hours of a Saturday morning! Brilliant service from the Preston warehouse! Many thanks for your great service, Nica.

Forward2me shipment
One package from a two part shipment I made out of a USA warehouse went missing in transit. I did not expect to recover the missing package or receive a refund, but Aimee, an employee at forward2me, went above and beyond to help me. On my behalf, she communicated with the courier company and secured compensation worth 10 times the item’s value. I didn’t even ask for this, but she took the initiative and made it happen. I highly recommend forward2me for this reason. They are fortunate to have such an exceptional employee, and anyone using their services can rest assured that if things go wrong, they’ve got your back.
