DHL good for what? I don't get you

I am not sure what's going on to them recently. They really causing me headache.
For temporary now I will ask my sis friend to help on the urgent purchase.since she's staying at CA, but one thing is not good was she will get sales tax by the merchant. I guess around 5%
The goodness using CGW is you don't have to worry on those sales tax from merchant.

I did put the message on the final column and told their concierge service this is an sales item I need your urgent help to purchase before the sales end, but they still ignore it. Haizz

has anyone used forward2me before?the pricing seems to be quite competitive.

Wow, doing trials on you =) Must be lucky. Haha.
Did they compensate you with anything on their mistake?

nope.. they do not >.<
not only me kena trial i guess some of the user are the same too..

I used their service, it's just excellent and great. The staffs are helpful and willing to answer any enquiries you have.

However, as compared to alfasent, forward2me does charge consolidation fee £6 per parcel. The consolidation fee would reduced to £2 per parcel if you have 6++ parcels.

I personally don't really like alfasent, as the shipping cost is charged based on the packages arrived at their warehouse. If the seller send a very big and bulky package, it will be charged accordingly. On the other hand, forward2me does help to reduce the chargeable shipping weight if possible.

aww..
planning to have a try using their service, but currently don't have anything to buy

We're on the same boat. Just to inform i got my parcels earlier than expected. All 10 parcels arrived safely yesterday. It's just that i didn't get any call from FedEx regarding my tax charges, the deliver man just deliver the stuffs and ask for payment. There's actually pros and cons to it.

Cons: I was afraid of being overcharged by customs just like what happened to me 3 weeks ago with DHL delivery, but this is purely customs fault. What happens if the delivery man came to my doorstep asking for an overrated tax charge??

Pros: It arrived to me faster without the hassle to bank in the money to their account and making a few phone calls to check on my stuffs.

I'm glad that they're back to DHL now. I hope i won't face problems with customs in the future. It was damn torturing and took almost 1 week to sort things out. I'm still sticking to HSG for now

Oh another thing, FedEx repacked all my stuffs!! All my parcels arrived in FedEx packaging. DHL didn't. they just stick on their label on the boxes from UPS, USPS or FedEx. Luckily nothing went missing.

lolz.. what the heck they didn't call you to inform u your item been tax O.o
mine, fedex got call me 1st and informing me that my i got a parcel get taxes, told me the total amount 1st before arranging the parcel to be deliver to my doorstep.
lucky that day i got enuf cash, otherwise i have to delay another day to ask them come.

Aw.. I pity you. Hope CGW learnt that DHL is very reliable and cheap.
I hate Fedex, will deff got taxed when using them, ai.

Thanks fo sharing. I read about a new site, bryonybuysuk.com.
She seemed legit, som bloggers recommended using her service.

Oh, forgotten. I received promotional emails from CGW and VSHub (I marked VSHub as SPAM).
Both on same thing, regarding the promo for Coach and Kate Spade handbags. But CGW stated up to 60% discount while VSHub posted 40% discount.
Fishy VSHub doing their dirty job again?

ya..
i received their promotion also, especially cgw.
last time i plan to purchase some kate spade item, but CGW reject me.. i ask why, CGW saids, kate spade ban them from purchasing O.o lolz.. now CGW having promotion on purchasing kate spade ? hmmm~

so who has a GREAT experience with a UK forwarder?... been looking for a good one... anybody tried bongo before?...

I've tried the Alfasent and Forward2me.

I would prefer Forward2me personally. If would you want to ship only 1 item back to Malaysia, I would recommend Forward2me as they have more compatitve shipping price as compared to Alfasent.

Waiting for my Baby Phat handbags from CGW, hopefully shipped with DHL

Any other reliable services besides comgateway and hopshopgo?
