# Looking for a forward2me alternative in Europe?

forward2me is a UK-based parcel forwarder with warehouses in the UK, Germany, Türkiye, Japan and the US. Shipify takes a different approach: one EU address at our own Budapest warehouse, published per-kg prices, and worldwide forwarding with consolidation — built for shopping from European stores.

## Why people compare

It is a solid service, but for EU shopping everything routes through their German warehouse, and fees are structured around their UK-centric model. If your goal is simply an EU address with transparent per-kg pricing, a leaner European setup can come out cheaper.
