Our average customer rating is: 4.5 / 5 (4.5/5) based on 233,561 reviews.
Providing you realise that this is a price comparison sit, and accept that customer service is a little compromised as a result, it can work very well. Prices are competitive and the couriers generally very good, great for low value items.

Quite simply the worst company I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Non-existent customer service that couldnt give a monkeys about their customers once they have coughed up the dough. For your own good, dont use Parcel Monkey as if your delivery is damaged (like 3 of mine have been) they wont help you in anyway, instead theyll laugh their way to the bank after they conned you after you paid extra money in insurance that is nothing more than money in their pockets and not a means of you covering yourself if something goes wrong. STAY AWAY.

I sent one parcel to France that went smooth in the time stated but the other parcel to the USA stopped having tracking info after 3 days and as it has still not arrived its now 4 days overdue. telephoning your tracking service did not give me any new information

The delivery took a little longer than advertised (not delayed enough to be a problem as it turned out). Otherwise a convenient, easy to use and very good value option. I have used Parcel Monkey before with good results and would definitely use again.

Easy to use service, would recommend.

Parcel collection was late. No notification that the parcel was not going to be collected and no way to track the parcel so I cant find out when to be at home for its delivery. I am still awaiting delivery so I cant comment on if my goods have arrived with any damage or what will happen to my bags if they try to deliver when I am not there and no one else is home (which is likely to happen). Altogether, a pretty **** and pricey service. I am having my bags delivered from London to Brussels. I would NOT recommend this service or use parcel monkey again.

Super fast! I first sent a test parcel, and just surprised how fast it went! Will now sent all the rest of my stuff!

Great & quick

Good prices, but website is unclear - the initial list of quotes seems unrelated to what your actual options are. The biggest problem for me, though, is that they wont let you pay for insurance on some products, even though the carrier themselves would allow it

Shockingly poor that you have failed to another courier when I arranged for someone to wait in. You have left no calling card and offered no reason for not collecting the parcel

Excellent service and price will recommend. Highly

Quick easy route to the best value deal what more could you want?

TERRIBLE 7days to deliver a parcel to Europe. It was imperative it arrived 5th/6th July and it arrived on the 7th too late for the purpose it was needed for. An utter waste of time and money. Your web site states 3 days !!!

Simple to book pick up & delivery, package arrived at destination in good shape and bang on time.

I have used parcel monkey a 5/6 times. collections have not been picked up on the day on 3/6 but rebooking has been easy and quickly sorted out. I have never had to wait in for collection as it has always been from a business location however I would consider this if you are having to wait in as I would be annoyed if I had wasted a day. Delivery has always arrived with no problem. 4 stars as I will continue to use and I am not waiting on for collection so it works for me

I think a flaw in the system is not being able to provide more specific collection times. I was told between 8am and 6pm which is just too vague - even "am" or "pm" would help! When I asked for details of the courier so I could contact them myself in the event that I had to go out for a couple of hours, Parcel Monkey said that was not possible. Then, when the driver did arrive just before I got home, he called a local business (with whom we are associated) rather than my phone number, which presumably means that the number Id supplied wasnt passed on from Parcel Monkey to the driver. So I missed him and he had to come again the next day - annoying for both of us! That said, the collection and delivery service was very reasonably priced.

Really convenient, fast and a fair price. My boxes were picked up from home and delivered across the country exactly as promised. Thanks.

Great service

Shipment to China using DPD. 5-7 day service. This has now past and new eta 19th July. So it is really a 3-4 week service. TNT not much better as they have not recovered from being hacked. Resent goods yesterday via UPS. Will be delivered Monday. Double the price of Parcel Monkey but you really do get what you pay for!

I hadnt heard of parcel monkey, easy to use, will do again and recommend
07/07/17 by Deborah
Have used this service before, cant fault it.
07/07/17 by Paul Shock
This company is awful. It may be cheap but that is for a reason. I arranged for my package to be picked up because I am moving house; waited all day and nothing. The only way to contact parcel monkey is through live chat and you only ever get the same response: it will be picked up by 6pm - lies. I had it rescheduled for today and it still has not been collected. I am furious and will never use or recommend this company. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. It is worth spending a bit extra so that you actually get the service you are paying for.

smooth transaction
