What does “unknown” mean?
No shipping details returned? Keep the result unverified. That is different from a seller stating that delivery is not offered. Even a shipping option needs confirmation before you rely on it.
Forwarding is a separate third-party service. It may add handling, storage, insurance and transport charges; suitability and restrictions must also be checked.
