Very good automatic system, terrible when it comes to speaking to a person, no way of communicating over the phone or chat with a real person, and add or ask information!

I ordered and paid for a collection of a letter. The letter was meant to be collected the following day. I was warned that if I was not there for the collection that I would be billed an additional £9 (roughly). The next day at 19:00 there had still been no collection. I had been online a few times to check on the status and it just showed collection pending. When I finally got bored I went on to the online help tool. Ian told me that it was after collection course did I want to cancel or rebook? I asked him why I had been missed....No answer he just told me to choose to either cancel or rebook. I asked him if I was now due the £9 fine to be paid by them as it seemed fair that if I had to pay them for messing their time that it would be fair the other way round. No answer he told me to choose rebook or cancel. No apology, no explanation, no nothing. Just rebook or cancel. I asked to cancel and am still waiting for the money. DO NOT use these people. I think they chose an apt name parcel MONKEY. Rather pay an extra few pounds and just get it done right the first time.

Advised I would be told a pick up time slot of a hour on the morning of collection. This did not happen and had to wait in all day. After looking for contact details realised there was no customer service phone line for parcelmonkey or dpd. Delivery was estimated to take 4-5 days and was never delivered. Had to be collected from a depot in Australia 2 weeks later. On the tracker it was saying it was at the destination but was not and after calling they advised it could not be delivered to the address.

Absolute useless and dishonest, didnt pick the parcel as scheduled, sent an email to the recipient that it had been collected, rescheduled for the next day and they didnt turn up either, shame I do not know any alternatives.

VERIFIED REVIEWER BEWARE OF THIS SCAM A COMPANY OF CROOKS AND FRAUDS Hi This is to bring to ur notice that I sent a parcel-packed separately in 2 packs-PARCEL1 & PARCEL 2 (Parcel No. ********* & Inv No. *******) on 15th Aug17.When i first sent this parcel we were informed that it shall be delivered in 4 days.We were contantly in touch with DPD & Parcel Monkey in order to track my parcels but each time we were given different reasons for delay/failure in delivery.Based on their last correspondence we were informed that the address given was inaccurate/wrong.After that i received a message from their side that if i wanted I could get my parcels for which I had to pay £18.90 as its delivery fee as well. But I have sent parcel already in the past on the same address that was delivered by DPD (Consignment No.then **************C and Inv No. then *******) so how was the address inaccurate this time??? Today after 15 days I have just received PARCEL 1 (1 pack out of the 2 ) that i sent on 15th Aug17 while PARCEL 2 is still missing! *ITS A SCAM NOBODY IS BOTHER TO REPLY OR GIVE YOU EXACT UPDATE THIS ALSO THE REASON THEY HAVE NO CONTACT NO ALMOST HALF A MONTH AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR MY PARCEL TO BE DELIVERED BACK TO ME. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME check the review under reviews.co.uk

Made it easy to find a company who would deliver a heavy parcel and payment was easy.

Parcel was delivered to my neighbour without my consent and was left outside in the garden where box get damaged due rain and content get bit wet too. I have paid for Plus service and cannot see this as special. Disappointed for £26 cost.
03/09/17 by Customer
Was easy to use and list of different companies and price options was good to see on one page. Just need to try and give time slots for collection so not waiting in all day if possible

Sending a fragile 10 kilogram parcel from the UK to Australia turned out to be quite easy and delivery was carried out within the week with no damage incurred. And from the local Post Office.

Use PM all the time. Never had any problems, good service. Send to UK and Germany with no fuss.
01/09/17 by Chris
Dreadful service, I will not be using them ever again. Parcel Monkey take no responsibility when the delivery company get it wrong. Waste of your time and energy trying solve the problem, they are not interested and if they do anything they blame the delivery company. Happy to take your money though.
01/09/17 by Patricia Methven
Next day delivery! Still waiting after a week. Customer services have been 1 hour and still no response. Do not use this company.
01/09/17 by Bea Collis
Terrible. Courier didnt turn up to collect package, and didnt call - which especially sucks when they wont give you a time for collection. Customer service is an online chat function, which is hard to find, and didnt make any attempt to explain or apologise when I asked what had happened. Went directly with Parcelforce instead, which is much much better.
01/09/17 by John
Quick easy recommend anytime

Even though my family received two deliveries on time, the customer service is horrible. We paid for door to door service, since I had to sent my books to my parents who are quite old. When it was delivered, the delivery driver refused to bring it to their door (despite their being a lift) and told them both times to carry it themselves since he was too busy. Obviously he was too lazy to do the work himself, which is very unprofessional!

Everything went as expected. 5 stars.
