Found this site by accident after my usual courier let me down. Have sent two heavy/large items via royal mail for next day delivery tracked and signed for very cheaply and collected from my address. Items arrived in perfect condition and early in the day. Very happy and will be using again.

Parcel collected on time delivery totally different was firstly given a Tuesday delivery time, didnt happen, then told Wednesday again not delivered finally told Thursday, then got a message to say parcel left with a neighbour not so was left at the back door a rather battered and dirty parcel certainly not as it had originally been sent!!

Parcelmonkey sent a delivery driver whos van was too small to take the four boxes. They couldnt rearrange collection for three more days after which time they still didnt specify to DPD the weight and size of the boxes and again sent a van too small. On top of that one of the boxes was lost in transit Would rate 0 stars if I could and never use again No customer service number and the live chat doesnt solve the problem they say theyll email back and investigate but I hope to call DPD myself to sort

Good online service, but I had a problem. Eventually I tracked down the lack of tracking info to ParcelForce which had failed to scan the parcel properly so it appeared stuck in the system. Parcel Monkey said, just wait and see, we have no guarantees. Not great answer.

quick collection and delivery as always.

Ive had an unacceptable experience with them. When I received my boxes, one of them had been opened and I realized it when I saw there were missing items inside (expensive ones). Thats why, luckily, I had bought an insurance. Nearly two months have gone by, and despite endless complaints and emails, they have ignored such a serious issue like a theft of goods, on top of the fact I had paid for an insurance. This is a fraud, and I dont know how to sort this out, so anyone be careful before choosing them.

All good. Easy to book. DPD were very good.

Aptly named company as they dont give a monkeys chuff if your parcel is delivered or not. When something goes wrong with a delivery you soon find out that the support they offer is totally useless and that you are on your own. Online chat achieves nothing. Pay more elsewhere but even then youre at the mercy of this appalling industry.

Bad costumer support My shipment got lost and they did nothing, always saying things like "we are looking into it" for two weeks until the moment I started dealing with it personally, contacting the courier myself. A terrible service. I prefer to pay more to other companies rather than use parcelmonkeys services ever again. A nightmare

Fast efficient and easy to use.

easy to arrange and plenty of local drop off sites. I used Parcel Monkey to have an item I bought on Ebay that i couldnt collect, delivered to me.
Less hassle for the seller as i arranged it all, which was easy.
Have used before and will no doubt use again.

An easy to use website, with very competitive prices. Around half the price of Parcel Force for my package.
Only let down was taking it into Sainsburys. First two members of staff not very helpful or friendly. Did not know about parcel service but found a helpful colleague who did.
Sainsburys (Isle of Wight) need to train their staff on the services they provide. Then the service will be perfect.

Take your money but do not deliver service. DX Freight courier supposed to pick up between 8am and 6pm today. No pick up, no explanation. Total waste.

well done great service
30/08/17 by Mr James McKenzie
Damaged delivery, rude customer service and took longer than expected because I wasnt a "premium" service but no explanation of this on website.

Easy, straightforward transaction. DPD cheapest courier quoted for our parcel to Europe. Collected from our home address 12 noon Tuesday - arrived France 11am Thursday. Able to track parcel all the way.

Worst company ever . No customer service. Never on time. Dont use
30/08/17 by Customer
Used Google to find a courier to offer same day collection of a parcel from Scotland to Lancashire to be collected on the 23rd August, all went well Parcel Monkey offered a Parcel Force 48 hour same day collection for £39.79, I arranged and paid only to receive a confirmation email stating my item would be collected on the 29th August some 7 days after the booking date I had selected and paid for. I contacted Parcel Monkey via their live chat function which is more like an email service as it takes about 10 minutes between messages to get any response, I finally got them to pick it up a day later than I had intended . it was delivered then within the 48 hours. the company who I purchased the item from contacted me today to say a courier had gone in yesterday the 29th August to collect the package, the company contacted me as they were worried I would be charged a second time for a courier

works just fine

Honestly, dont use this company. Total shambles from beginning to end. The delivery was handled by 3 different companies; not sure what Parcel Monkey do at all, they havent even managed to update their "Tracking" info from day 1 (which was also wrong!) Online support was shocking, it was left to me to chase the other suppliers (who, to be fair were helpful). However, PM failed to update me at any time at all. Every question was met with pages cut and pasted from their "standard response"manual.... Waste of space. Save yourself the stress and use a reputable firm to start with.... In future I will be

I am truly so very disappointed and angry with parcel monkey Twice I have been given dates to another courier Twice no one has collected Now despite my constant emails I am told they "have to cancel the order as its past 5 working days" .... its only day 3 since the last dated given to me ...so not only are they incompetent but they cant even count I have paid in full for this service (one hundred and twenty five pounds)

I was moving and had some books that I wanted to take with me. I packed two boxes, weighed them and did a search on parcel monkey - simple. I picked a supplier and price that suited me. Paid by card, printed the labels and had the packages picked up the following day. One day later they arrived at destination. Great! Completely worth the £17.00 not to have to drag them through the city, onto trains, etc.

I would recommend this company to anyone
