Website was very easy to use with a good choice of carriers. Having the parcel collected from home was really convenient because it was quite heavy. Delivery was prompt.

Everything went smoothly …
You gave a timescale of collecting between 8am and 6pm which was a bit annoying as had to stay in all day but other than that all ok.
I would definitely use you again

The Parcel Monkey site was much easier to use than the others I tried. The instructions were clear and the delivery arrived on time. Very pleased

I filled out all forms, but for some reason it got held up and i had to pay a customs charge, it would have been easier to know that in the begining so it would not be held up

Avoid this company at all costs, they will scam you out of money and refuse to take responsibility or contact you once they’ve scammed you. I paid for £122 for a “global priority drop off” which guaranteed my parcel would be shipped from UK to Lanzarote in 5 days. I had it delivered to a hotel I was staying in for a week. I made sure to send the parcel 5 days before I arrived which would allow for a few days delay. Unfortunately, the delay was 3 weeks. Customs had an issue with the address label provided by Parcel Monkey that I had filled out correctly. After sending them a screenshot of the hotel address that was completely identical to the address I’d written on the form, suddenly the parcel was released from customs. When the pared reached the hotel it was returned to my address because the recipient was not there. Parcel Monkey has now wormed their way out of a refund with the following: “ Unfortunately, since your parcel was returned due to the recipient is not listed at the address you provided. We will issue 25% refund for the shipping cost as a goodwill gesture.“ Would you like to know why the recipient wasn’t there? It’s because PARCEL MONKEY took 3 weeks to deliver a parcel that was supposed to be delivered in 5 days, and because I was on holiday for one week I was obviously no longer at the hotel. So the recipient was not there due to YOUR errors. I can’t fathom why you think you’ll be getting away with using your own terrible service as a reason not to refund me. The parcel was a small pink car for my little niece who only has a few months to live and would be the last birthday present I would be able to give her. The distress and upset you’ve caused me is unmeasurable. I will not stop contacting you until I’ve received the money I need to get the gift to her with another company. I hope you look forward to hearing from me every single day.

I’m still waiting to get some sort of realistic reply from Royal Mail, regarding not collecting the parcel and then to deliver to me, they do recognise the tracking number either.

Very easy to book the parcel, really quick delivery to USA.

Fast efficient service.

A week later on a guaranteed next day service and the parcel is still sitting here. 6 emails confirming a collection time and day, never been collected. ParcelMonkey just use the sloping shoulders approach and blame the courier. Will NEVER use them again. Absolutely shocking customer service.

They did what they committed to

Lack of responsibility for the parcel after it leaves UK soil. 50 minutes on the call waiting, no help on getting package updates. After the package left the UK it was given to another absolutely cheapest shipment company with waiting times ~5 days. If they decided to pay 50p more, my package wouldve gotten to me way earlier. Im very dissapointed and wil never use parcel monkey again.
24/09/23 by Filip Lasocki
The parcel that was supposed to be delivered in 3 days, reached the wrong depot and still hasnt been rerouted correctly

Reasonable cost

Parcel delivered to Republic of Ireland, very efficiently.
Only negative was the first Evri drop off, the machine didn’t work, so had to try another place and this was perfect.

I heard back from parcel monkey last night they offered me my postage back rightly so, they then offered me £50 as a gesture of good will for smashing up my £275 microwave and want the ins &out of a ducks backside before i get it. I find the fact that the customer has to jump through hoops in order to get refunded for the damage that has been done by the so called courier ridiculous the so called courier should be made to do it. after all it was him who done the damage, anyway citizens advice have been a great help so i will be going back to them for more advice.

Arrived on time and undamaged. Have used this service many times and will continue to do so.
23/09/23 by Customer
Terrible Service. Was charged over £100 extra when the package arrived at the destination as they claimed it was overweight, when it wasnt. Dianne was useless on customer service and will never be using the company again. I overdeclared my package just to ensure it was fine and still they tried to charge my card. The worst service, I would stay away from using them
23/09/23 by Emmanuel Enemuwe
Shocking, charged me more money week later, saying parcel was too large, which wasnt and they havent supplied evidence
23/09/23 by Customer
Chose because it looked cheaper than going to the courier direct, but a charge was then added as I had ‘not entered correct measurement’. I know I had - actually put bigger than it was to avoid this. If had gone direct it could have been checked before sending. Also, at one point tracking was telling me my parcel was in Nigeria…. Very random.
