Hi have emailed them twice about an order placed but no response, I placed the order almost a week ago and contrary to their promise there have been no attempts to let me know the situation or even any updates if the order was purchased. Order was placed 7/7/25 and no indication on website item was even purchased.

Dear Customer. We apologize for inconvenience caused as there was delay in our team's communication to you. Our team was trying to reach out to marketplace seller to check if they have item available. Considering they have sold the item to another seller, we have issued full refund.

Highly Recommend

I’m unbelievably grateful and beyond satisfied with my experience with this company. The service they provide made it possible for me to purchase items I wouldn’t have been able to afford otherwise, and for that, I’m truly thankful. Their support and reliability exceeded my expectations every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend this company to all my friends and family. Thank you for making such a difference!

They did what they said they would

They did exactly what I paid them to do, which was purchase an item in India that is not available anywhere else and ship it to Florida. The item arrived pretty quickly and in perfect condition. (they put Fragile stickers all over it)
They aren't cheap, but I don't mind paying for excellent service and they provided just that.

I would avoid if possible

I would avoid if possible. I bought a fashion item, new with tags and I received it without a tag, smelly, dirty on the outside, and also with scratches and broken all over.

They did not bother to let me know about the item's condition and just shipped it as it is. There's other proxy servers which check the condition of the item like Doorzo, Buyee, etc. They don't. This was also collected physically so the dirt could easily be seen at least. No word about it. Paid a lot for it and for the shipping.

They also have no other shipping options except Fedex.

Now I'm in dispute with Paypal to get my money back because forwardbuy is ignoring me after they told me they MIGHT be able to offer a partial refund and not cover the return shipping costs (I was open to return it).

Dear Customer, We thank you for the feedback. Your item is an Shop For Me (Assisted Purchase) request from an online marketplace in Singapore. We are not the manufacturer or seller of the item and hence unable to ascertain the quality of item. We could help you with additional checks prior to shipment (under photo request option), but you would need to opt for this service from dashboard prior to shipping the item to your location. Our team confirms that item was purchased and shipped in as-is condition from seller and it was packaged appropriately for shipping.

Regarding your Shop For Me(Assisted Purchase) request, we did try to request partial refund with seller but unfortunately since you have not returned the item, we are unable to negotiate further. We hope you understand our situation as package forwarder. We will do our best to support you with what is within our control.

Too Easy

I needed to buy a tacho/hour meter for my tractor. It was available in India but the freight was a killer.

I tried Forwardbuy. I simply signed up and gave them the URL for the tacho. They bought it and shipped to me without a hitch and at reasonable cost. Very impressed.

This was my first experience using this…

This was my first experience using this forwarding company, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. Initially, I was somewhat skeptical, so I took the time to reach out to the company with several inquiries before placing my order. Their customer service team was prompt and thorough in addressing all my questions, which gave me the confidence to proceed.

I purchased a handbag valued at SGD 800. Once the item arrived at their warehouse, I opted for an additional service: a photo review of the bag (for a minimal fee of approximately $2-3). This affordable option allowed me to confirm the condition and authenticity of the bag before proceeding with the shipment. After verifying the item, I paid the shipping fee, which totaled around $90. While the cost is substantial, the service was well worth it, as the package arrived in less than four days. I was extremely pleased with the speed and efficiency of the delivery.

Overall, the company provided excellent customer service, with quick response times, fast shipping, and a variety of options to accommodate personal shopping needs. My only suggestion for improvement would be to offer a wider selection of shipping services, allowing customers to choose from different carriers and price points to better suit their preferences.

I am thoroughly impressed with my experience and plan to use this company for future purchases. Highly recommended!

Uncertain at first

At first, I was uncertain - I seldom use such services and when I do, it's usually with a recommendation of a friend. However, I wanted one item from Carousell and ForwardBuy offered the service I needed. The item arrived to me in around 2 weeks, the customer service quickly replied to all the questions I had about the order and everything was clearly presented. Definitely a positive experience worth a 5*.

First time purchase

It was for buying something off of carousel. The ForwardBuy rep purchased the item as soon as I put the request in and I received regular updates on the package's location. Incredibly timely, professional, and not to mention the product arrived in excellent condition.

High Shipping fee and no item protection

The shipping fee is too high for just 2 items (PS5 controllers).
Also, the items were not protected with bubble wraps, newspapers or an external box. Therefore my items must have suffered additonal damage from the delivery handling. Very disappointing considering the amount of money paid for the shipment/delivery.
