Service Update
Some shipping services are affected by the current unprecedented situation

ForwardVia is operating as usual
We wanted to assure you that ForwardVia is operating as usual. We are working hard to get your goods ship to you worldwide.
Some countries have lifted shipping restrictions. However, delay may be experienced as a result of ongoing Covid-19 reduction measures in specific countries and reduced air transport capacity. Due to the current situation, some Carriers have temporary suspended certain routes, and introduced surcharges to certain countries. This is a ever-changing situation, unfortunately outside our control.
The Carriers, DHL, Fedex, UPS, and Royal Mail informed us that there will be inevitable delay with parcel delivery especially in affected regions. We ask you our customer to allow ample time for delivery.
