Drop off was very easy at a local point, and delivery was within agreed timescales. Price was very competative.

Item sent in December but was damaged (visible on box), tried to claim but then the very poorly written T&C were presented and decided that my item was classed as one of the prohibited items and therefore nto covered. T&C later say item is covered if box is physically damaged which it is but they were not interested. Dont send anything valuable even if you insure it as it wont be covered.

Worse company to deal with. Explained my parcel had been returned to me in error by the carrier more than 1 month after posting. Asked for a refund. Told cant have a refund as the carrier had returned due to restrictive items inside. Explained this is an error at the carrier as u had followed all rules set. So now no gifts for my family in Canada and a lot of wasted money. Will never use again. Disgusting. Will go back to DPD as normal next year as never have any issues with them!

Item was delivered several days late and becase I used Parcel Monkey I was unable to claim for late delivery compensation via ParcelForce

Fast deliveries, reliable for large heavy parcels.
No hassle so far.
Earlier than expected even during a festive season.

Booked an 8kg parcel for India. The address fields on the PM website are far too small for many overseas destinations. Anyway completed all documentation including invoices as required. Parcelforce collected early next day, excellent! 2 days later I received in the post a multi-part CP72 form from PF which they needed completing and returning before they would process the parcel. Caused delay and inconvenience.

Parcel has. It been delivered despite recipient waiting in all day. She has been advised it’s gone back to the original sender but it had personal products inside so it’s a bit of a mess

The companys website was extremely difficult to use - everytime I tried to fill in the form to place my order, it kept crashing. I persevered and after numerous attempts I got there in the end but I shouldnt have bothered asI then realised that they wouldnt be able to pick up and deliver my parcel on time. I NEVER received any correspondence from Parcel Monkey about the fact that I didnt use them, and am now trying to get my money back. I used Courier instead - its website and service was much more efficient and easier to use . Not only that but they were cheaper too! Parcel monkey is a scam - DO NOT use them!

Easy to organise

I had not used this service before, but on the recommendation of a friend I tried it out for a parcel collection and delivery I needed. It was easy to search and filter for a courier, with multiple collection and delivery options available. No issues when using the site and good updates on the delivery process.

Straight foward experience, good price for international service, useful dashboard.

Very useful application. Having access to print your own labels is generally required but the system is easy to navigate. I sent a large parcel to the Irish republic via Parcel Monkey and although the customs form was an additional bit of printing,I was able to complete the process and have goods on the way in 24 hours. Person in Eire received the parcel a few days later in good condition. Overall cost for most of my transactions have been very reasonable. I have continued to use this system over the past few years as I found it most reliable!!!

The Parcel Monkeys app allowed me to organise delivery of a large box to my nieces address in Cardiff. Although I had to print the delivery labels, I was able to complete the process and have the goods on the way to Cardiff within 24hours. She received the parcel two days later in good condition and was well pleased with the super fast delivery!!!!

Well, with everyone else on strike Parcel Monkey have been very reliable and easy to use.

It’s cost to much
14/01/23 by Chevon Smith
Failed to deliver my international parcel then charged £23 to have it returned after the buyer had no contact from the courier to accept the package or information in who to contact. 3 months later and still in dispute waiting for the proof they say they have contacted the buyer , complete load of rubbish as my details were on the package for contact too. Over £50 out of pocket and a list of excuses and please be patient messages is all I have had for it. Quick to respond but not with anything remotely helpful or offer of a refund for all this hassle . Lost my buyer and had to refund over £250 including the postage cost..! Avoid these poorly run parcel comparisons and go direct and Dpd were a great help they just can’t do anything more as the order was placed through these bunch of jokers.

Excellent service, I cannot recommend highly enough. I Was informed when the parcel would be picked up with an hour time slot, was picked up on time. The parcel was picked up on the 9th of Jan from London and delivered to my son on the 12th in the USA. Very impressed with the the service provided at what I thought was a reasonable cost. Thank you.

Never used anything like this before. I had a very large heavy parcel to go from wales to Scotland.
It was collected with no problem and the man received it in Scotland less than 24 hrs later. I am very happy with the service abd will definitely use again. Thank you
