Got the best price by far for sending my parcel to England during the postal strike and it was delivered within 24hours so I was really pleased with the service and the cost. This was my fourth time using Parcel Monkey both here in the UK and for deliveries to Europe and each time the experience was really positive.

Firstly I print the label and courier come to collect it . Unfortunately he couldn’t scan it. Then next day my husband print the label. Same story courier couldn’t collect it as he said he couldn’t scan it. I had to take it to the shop and it scanned with no issues. I was disappointed that I had to go to drop off shop as I paid for courier to collect the parcel ! Except of this everything else was good .

Got the best price for sending two parcels to Wales and they were delivered within 24hr so was really pleased. Still cost quite a lot but compared to Royal Mail us was still cheaper. This is my second time using them and both experiences were positive.

Once the parcel was dropped off it worked like clockwork.
Dropping off the parcel only had an address not a shop name! When I eventually found it it was called CostCutter, would have ben nice to know.

My parcel (which was actually an envelope) was never delivered. Not only that, but I was charged extra as I was told the measurements were wrong and it was larger than I had described - which was completely not true. The measurements that were sent me by the courier were impossible for an envelope. After chasing up, and asking for compensation, I was told it was not possible. I will not be using this service again.

Unlike other delivery firm, Parcel Monkey was far easier to process parcel being sent abroad.

This company is allowing their couriers to scam customers. My parcel to the USA was sent via them and my measurments and weight which I checked three times to make sure they were correct, even allowing a bit extra for mistakes. The parcel 27cm x27cm x20cm 2.7 kilo cost £37.78 which was about the usual price of the size parcel I send every year. The courier state it was much larger by almost twice the size and gave me a surcharge of £51.59 making the total cost £89.37 which was considerably more than Royal Mail had assessed it....and they agreed with my weight and measurements. Parcel Monkey have done nothing to help me despite several e mails from me. Parcel Monkey have allowed one of their couriers to scam me with no recourse. AVOID AT ALL COST.

Fantastic service and easy to use sent a parcel to United States and it arrived in 2 days and courier was half the price of Royal Mail who took 5 days to deliver a letter in Uk, would highly recommend

Booked courier on Thursday afternoon, parcel collected Friday lunchtime and delivered Saturday late morning. Spot on sevice, Courier (DHL) did exactly as they advertised. Service and Parcel Monkey website cannot be faulted.

Ordered and paid for package to be collected Wednesday from home address by UPS. No indication of time etc. 2.30pm on Wednesday I call customer services to ask if they knew when collection would be. Told that I should have rang and booked a time slot for collection. Was told it was now too late for Wednesday so Thursday any time between 8am-5pm. Thursday comes and UPS man arrives and tells me that he did come Wednesday (around 5pm) but none answered. I told him what was discussed with customer services. He then tells me there’s an additional charge for collection from my home address which strangely wasn’t applied to Wednesday’s collection or indeed added when I paid online through Parcel monkey. I call customer services again and am told that there should have been a charge and that their customer service colleague should have known the package was still due to be collected when I called the first time. I’m told there’s no complains department and they won’t issue any partial reimbursement despite their blatant lack of professionalism. Either there’s lack of communication between parcel monkeys and UPS or customer services needs a purge.

It was so smooth to set up the sending a parcel to Canada

Unfortunately I used what I thought would be a quick service. Dropped off on a Sunday but parcel wasn’t collected until Tuesday and delivered on a Friday. Perhaps next time I will go with another provider. Whilst parcel monkey systems is great and can save you a considerable amount of money the courier companies are not always up to the same standard.

The parcel went via Parcel Force. At first the tracking said the parcel was damaged and would be returned. The recipient was then advised that it had gone through customs and would be delivered. The parcel was in a new cardboard box and that was securely fastened, but the box was split opened and had been roughly bound up.
