I clearly said during the order process that I was shipping an iPad to the United States. They accepted my parcel and my money. Within a day, they write back stating they cannot ship the iPad because it contains a battery. They did not say that upfront when I placed the order while taking the money. They then had the gall to charge me to return the item to the shipping point and they also kept the original shipping fee. I paid more $100 for no service. They are crooks, just look elsewhere for your courier needs. They ought to be ashamed.

Easy to book & usually quite efficient. I deliberately choose the option that allows you to print the delivery label at drop-off store. Got to drop-off to find the printer not working and got sent away to get it printed elsewhere, then had to return to drop-off - delivery extended by a day & not helpful. Not impressed this time.

5 packages all went missing (via dpd) parcel monkey have been useless in trying to get them back to me, they refuse to refund even my postage costs let alone the £1000 of product that has disappeared into the ether, its not worth the risk going through these cow boys for a couple of quid savings, go direct to the courier

Positive experience within platform, found what I need in few minutes. Next day courier picked up parcel and in 4 days was in USA. Only what could be added is how to fill up customs papers kind of tutorial or anything as this making all process confused. A part of that all good would recommend.

After months of trying different parcel companies to family in France, tried Parcel Monkey for the first time. Could not be more pleased, sensible price, but more importantly prompt, safe delivery.

DO NOT RECOMMEND! ???????? I am furious with Monkey Courier. I paid for road courier service, plus my item was protected. The item was scanned and collected with no problem! I received an email today; sorry, because its a battery (battery pack for a skateboard), it is on hold and cant be returned, either to be collected or disposed of. I fully understand batteries can’t be sent via airmail, so I tried this method; however, I was never advised I wouldnt be able to have my parcel sent back to me if it failed and was to be disposed of?! I paid for protection £225 then surely the company will compensate for my parcel that cannot be returned?!

I paid for next day parcel delivery with Fed Ex through parcel monkey. I was provided with a QR code and asked to take the parcel to a Fed Ex drop off point. No one accepts the QR codes, not even the main Fed Ex distribution centre! Terrible experience, no support, just a shrug of the shoulders and a wash of their hands from both companies. Avoid this company at all costs.

Really helped me to find the most efficient way to ship my guitar to a buyer in another continent. The best price and most suitable service was easy to find and organise. Also, the assistance given in terms of shipping paperwork (commercial invoice) was excellent.

GREAT ARRIVED

AVOID IF YOU LIKE COMMUNICATION : If the delivery of your parcel runs smoothly, great. HOWEVER, if anything goes wrong and you need to reach customer services, this company is horrific. I made the mistake of entering my parcel size as cms not inches, a parcel which cost over £15.00 to send then became and £80.00 parcel - you cannot communicate with this company regarding the issue and they take the ridiculous added fees amount from your bank account without any comms or consent from yourself. I WILL NEVER, EVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN AND I WILL ENSURE I TELL AS MANY FAMILY MEMBERS TO AVOID AT ALL COSTS. You may think you are raking it in at the minute parcel monkey but your atrocious customer service will eventually catch up with you. Hang your heads in shame.

Always so easy to use, and efficient service

Avoid at all cost. They dont give you enough information and then they dont deliver your parcel at the estimated date. Almost a month after. Then you get slapped with import duty. Plus customer service advisers are not helpful and rude.

My parcel went to Turkey in 4 days! it was an excellent experience!

If I could give minus stars I would. Dealing with this company is causing me so much grief and pain. I paid for a parcel to be delivered to the US (New York) after 5 days they delivered it to my address (the sender!) so I’ve paid for a parcel to go around London, clear customs in Hinckley and come back to me. Not only that, they having been “trying” to contact DPD for a month to apparently get feedback, so will not refund me until there is news. It’s an absolute shambles. If this organisation has no direct communication channels with its delivery companies then it should not be in business. I’m so fed up with constantly chasing for a response, broken promises of coming back to me. Do not use this company. At least I have the parcel and they didn’t lose that too!!!

Rubbish. Parcel Monkey costs more than booking direct with the courier.. and be warned, if any complications arise with any Parcel Monkey order the courier will not deal with you and you must go through Parcel Monkeys terrible customer services who will add all sorts of fees hidden in their T&Cs. Avoid.

Horrific experience unfortunately my parcel arrived to the USA they supposedly tried to deliver (they didn’t) and was the package was stolen. The courier is taking no responsibility and it’s very obvious it’s been stolen by a member a staff.
