EUROPE PARCEL FORWARDING SERVICE

The shipping cost of your goods from Germany will depend upon what kind of items you want to ship abroad, as well as how big and heavy they are.

Prices to the USA start from €29.19 or $35.58 for 1 lb of package weight, and prices to the UK start from £20.32 for or €23.63 for 1 kg of package weight. 

To get an estimate of how much your package will cost to send, head to our pricing tool, where you can enter your item and dimensions, as well as your destination country to get an estimate for your item. 

Forward2me offers reshipping from the whole of the EU via our Germany warehouse. This means you can access Netherlands reshipping, Denmark reshipping, Luxemburg reshipping and much more. Order from Germany and the rest of the EU and ship to the US, Australia or anywhere else in the world.

Your European forwarding address opens up a whole world of possibilities.

Due to a high level of fraud, German authorities require us to obtain a valid copy of your identification, such as a passport or driver's license, to ensure the legitimacy of shipments. And a recent utility bill (not more than three months old) matching your shipping address is acceptable. Utility bills include electricity, gas, water/sewage, garbage disposal, internet, cable TV, and phone services. If you don't have utility bills, bank statements are also acceptable.

You can find more information about document verification here.

Forward2me offers two package forwarding services allowing you to ship multiple items from our German warehouse. These are our combine & repack service, and our package consolidation service. 

Combine & repack
The combine & repack service for forwarded packages is just €2+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.
Where appropriate (too bulky or not suitable for export) we remove retailer packaging from the items you’ve ordered and combine them all into one package, specially designed to stop you from having to pay individual shipping fees for each item.  We never remove manufacturer packaging unless specifically asked. 

Where there are many small items arriving individually, it is often best to leave them in the retailer packaging and simply place them into a larger box.  The packer will use their discretion as to what is the safest and most cost efficient - they will not try to make things smaller if there is no money to be saved.

Package consolidation
We will consolidate your package into one airway bill but won’t remove the retailer packaging.
This means 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 packer will use their discretion.

For more information visit our package consolidation or combine & repack services page.

We offer DHL, FedEx, UPS, GLS and DPD for international shipping from Germany. 

The German authorities have recently instructed us to request a valid copy of our customer's passport and a recent copy of a utility bill matching the delivery address for all shipments before they are despatched from our German warehouse.

This document will be requested and will need to be approved by forward2me before shipments can leave the facility.

Forward2me operates a warehouse in Germany, where you have a unique address.  When your packages arrive at your German address they are immediately logged into your account by a German worker.  You receive an email notification at that moment.  Then, behind the scenes we transport your package to our warehouse in Poland for processing, storage and shipping.  This is why, when you ship, the package originates from Poland.
 
Our Polish and German warehouses are 10 minutes apart along the Polish-German border with the river Oder in the middle.  Transport between warehouses runs every hour and is handled by forward2me staff using forward2me vehicles.
 
To those unfamiliar with the EU single market and free movement of goods, this might seem a little odd.  forward2me is certainly the first parcel forwarding company to utilise such a model but this is a well understood approach with all large scale online retailers, including Amazon and Zalando, serving German customers from logistics facilities just across the border in Poland.
