I have only given one star because I have had to, Im a disabled elderly lady who needed a oven sent back shop, they took money out of my account, they didnt show up for pick up, will only answer questions through account messaging and have to wait 3 plus hours for reply, still havent resolved problem, cant speak to anyone in person even on request , absolutely disgusting service, done nothing to help but caused me so much anxiety and worry.

The box looks like it has been kicked around like a football. It was well packed and included fragile tape! I paid more with you so it was looked after well but despite that it’s still open and damaged.

24 hour service was delivered to a very important customer 3 days late. Parcel force once again failed to deliver the goods.

My parcel was damaged deliberately because it wasn’t insured

The Parcel monkey team were as helpful as they could be but were badly let down by parcelforce. It was claimed delivery was 3-4 days when I booked the parcel in but 14 days later it’s still not delivered. It was parts for a car sent to Spain to arrive when my husband did. No parts and he has long left to get a ferry still with dodgy windscreen wipers. Will use Parcel Monkey again but never Parcelforce who are obviously stating delivery targets they can’t reach to get the business

My parcel was not collected. The driver arrived at the hotel and was told the parcel was not there. It was but no one phoned the contact number to check what had gone wrong and the driver left without my parcel. I am now going to have to pay again to rearrange the collection.

better price than going direct to courier

Box got smashed up. And they charged over £13 on top of the postage to get it returned to me. They are dragging their feet on how I make a claim for the breakages. Theyve decided they wont pay out even for the non service they didnt provide. Or the damages caused.

Despite choosing Parcelforce as the option from Parcel Monkey that offered high speed and reasonable cost my parcel to New Zealand took a total of 13 days from leaving at a post office in the Uk to delivery. This was allegedly a priority service! Parcelforce defer responsibility to Parcelmonkey, Parcelmonkey’s terms and conditions essentially exempt them from responsibility. Avoid at all cost or use a reputable agent!

Easy and straightforward to use, each step was clear and worked well, I have not had feedback from my recipient but all looks good.

Do not trust this company, even the customer service phone number is not available I think all the good reviews are written are fake.

Terrible company with terrible service. Promising the service they don’t give and steal your money!! Avoid using them at all costs!! They caused me a great deal of headache and anxiety just to get through to them and open a case for a damaged parcel they were responsible for, only to tell me they closed my case shortly after! Day time rubbery at its finest…

Easy to use site with clear instructions and a saving over buying direct from the courier.

terrible service i sent parcel then they took another £7 out my account said it was overweight ! I have some digital postal scales so I know it was well under
23/11/22 by Tony Hickson
Worst service you can ever imagine. They charge you extra for insurance in case something happens to your parcel and never even reply or sort out the issue. Just a bunch of incompetent people gathered together to steal money from people’s pockets. Day time rubbery and rubbish service! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY AT ALL!!

I always use you and always review at 5* but - I was cross to have to pay an extra £13 - I measured and weighed parcel Correctly- I assume it’s not you but parcelforce - but there seems to be no other choice on your site when sending to Australia. Also, not all of the items were detailed on manifest so I had to hand write them on

Very easy to use

Having previously complained about the lack of communication with DPD Driver and mishandling of parcel, this time DPD were excellent.
Two men arrived at the door, both were smiling and polite. One picked up the parcel and the other held the van door open so the parcel was handled with the best care possible Collection and delivery times were always excellent so 10 out of 10 for DPD. Speak as you find.

I have been charged an extra £64 for my parcel, a pushchair. They want photos of my parcel to prove size. I didnt take any unfortunately. Ironically the same pushchair was delivered to myself May (I bought from someone) and the cost was £11, with same courier, and no extra charges were incurred. Im very confused, they wont help as I dont have photos. Im a bit lost as what to do now.

My parcel was not delivered on the expected day and I did not receive any notification so I was waiting for my parcel at home all day. When I called parcelforce customer service, I was told my parcel was outside for delivery and on my second call the story was different my parcel never left the warehouse.

Very pleased with pick up and delivery and price.

The service here in the UK by Parcel Monkey is excellent. Would use again if I ever sent a parcel abroad but I would think twice as my brother had to pay £25 in order to collect his parcel from the PO in Barcelona. Sad as it was a Christmas gift from me. Very upsetting.
22/11/22 by Dianne Wray
easy booking system,chosen courier always turns up next day,reasable rates

Communication is good. I send a lot of parcels and when I eventually had a problem with a delivery I found the messages and replies quick and the people I communicated with were capable at dealing with my problem.
