Posted on 31 October and as per web site 4-6 days to deliver but still not arrived. Ws very careful with measurements and weight and allowed extra after measuring weighing parcel only to get £6 extra charge. That being said if it gets there i will be happy - be a late birthday present now.

I found Parcel Monkey to be easy to use, and virtually every time the parcel does get there within the time frame. Tracking is also good and accurate.

Ive used Parcelmonkey/Parcelforce on quite a few occassions before and normally the service was great. However on the last occasion( I no longer use them after the last experience) a wholesale order was delivered days late and recipient subsequently went on holiday. I sent a message to bring the parcel to a neighbours address, however the driver left the parcel outside the recipients home instead. Despite many messages to Parcelmonkey to retrieve the parcel as recipient was on holiday and parcel was left exposed to the elements I kept receiving a response that they were waiting a response from the courier. That last "waiting for response"was on 26th October ! The date when the recipient finally came back form their holiday and reported a soaking box with goods inside mostly destroyed. For me as a small business the loss of money having to redo this order was bad enough but the loss of time having to remake it at what was already a particularly stressful time in our family was frankly worse. Parcelforce/ Parcelmonkey between the two of them made the mistake of leaving the goods outside but the disappointing part was that they did not correct it.This was as simple as sending the driver back to retrieve the goods that should never have been left outside in the first place as they were not authorised to do so. The fact that it wasnt corrected shows how little they care about their customers.

Parcel sent with them measured and weighed accused of not having the right details on.For a £10 parcel I was charged £65 extra on top.This is not the difference in price but a penalty.They didn’t give me a chance to prove it they stole the money from my account leaving me short of money.After sending them evidence I’m told to wait for an email telling me what wrong this has never come.In the meantime my account is overdrawn

On time, no damage, free re delivery

Relatively simple process to complete order and then send parcel, however I was charged an additional amount due to package being larger than stated which I refute as I measured the dimensions and got the weight of the packaged order prior to buying package.

Collection was arranged for today Friday 11th November. I waited in all day and still no one has come to collect parcels. Not happy at all
11/11/22 by Paul Morris
Good service quick and easy to follow
11/11/22 by Christina Kyriacou
Very disappointed this time. The parcel was collected on 26/10 but was only received yesterday, 10/11. Also, the recipient, who is elderly and infirm, had to arrange for someone to collect the parcel from the Post office as it was not delivered to her address. Definitely not up to scratch for the price.

a parcel sent on 29th October did not arrive until Saturday 5th November. When there are issues communication with Parcel Monkey is very poor. Tracking continuously told me the parcel was delayed because of issues in the area but it transpired that the parcel had in fact gone to completely the wrong destination. I was told twice by Parcel Monkey that the parcel would definitely arrive by 3rd November but it didnt. It was too late for its intended purpose. Parcel Monkey should automatically refund in these circumstances where there has been a failure but instead I will need to go through a tedious process to get the refund, if I get one.

Cheap, simple. Was one of the only companies willing to take a rather large package to France from UK and got it there within about 3 days. Would reccomend parcel monkey!
11/11/22 by Customer
Most unfair service! They made me pay extra for insurance and when it came to insurance they claimed it was not possible. The pick up driver was so rude and handled the package very roughly even though I explained to him it fragile! They let me book the service and charge extra for insurance but no after service. Never booking again!

Good comparison service and easy payment and send.
Be good to know what time a shops collection time would be helpful since I just missed a collection and my parcel was sat around in a a shop for an extra 23.5 hours
