Very simple and straightforward, 3rd time I’ve used Parcelmonkey and everything has gone smoothly each time (selected services where the parcel was picked up from home, twice with Parcelforce and once by DHL)

brilliant , very straight forward - parcel collected on time and delivered next day and prices very reasonable - we have used you before hence why we have used you again and we will in the future be using your services
thank you for any easy and reliable transaction

Parcelmonkey is a great business tool
It saves us money and time. I get my labels within minutes and away you go.
My only (small) niggle is when I am putting my weights and dimensions in, a little thing comes up and says are you sure. It is a tad annoying
Otherwise all good

I used the post office drop off service and it was all very simple. Easy to print the labels and attach them, nothing else needed.

The ParcelMonkey service was good. However the contractor they were using to Jersey UK is ParcelForce - they have a monopoly. They decided to add an extra charge which was unjustified, and I had an argument before they dropped it. I had sent 20 incense sticks with a postcard - very small and lightweight. ParcelForce were claiming it as 39x28x12cm weighing 2.6Kg..!! It took some convincing for them to relent.!!

A complete con, they will quote you a price then charge you extra charges for apparently being wrong... correctly measured and weighed parcel is somehow now larger with no real explanation or proof. Go elsewhere this is how they make there money by ripping you off.

Faultless my first choice
07/09/22 by Ed Wilson
Lost my parcel PM10766810 - even though I PAID for insurance its been over a month and they just say "As soon as we hear back from the courier, we will contact you immediately." They used DLL courier shipment ref: 31385670453426. Their claims procedure STINKS!
07/09/22 by Doric Frantz
thought it smoothly but then received a extra charge of £64 for wrong weight quoted. on looking at invoice i had put 67kg as weight but correct weight was 10kg ,which i found strange as item weight was 23kg.sent 4 emails to try and get a explanation not received any reply back and the amount was charged to my credit card

Great company. Picked up and promptly delivered
07/09/22 by Gordon Hamilton
Absolute rubbish the communication is rubbish they never come back to me and lost my pacel
07/09/22 by gp cars
Failed to make the collection or communicate the status - had to find another carrier

I used DPD as Parcelforce were on strike and they were great - next day delivery for less than £10 from Scotland to the Midlands. Posted 1400, delivered by 1000 next day.
06/09/22 by Jennifer
Excellent service and great prices. My only gripe is the patronising pop-up (EVERY time) asking if I am sure my measurements are correct. Imm 66 and quite capable of using a scale and a tape, thank you very much...
06/09/22 by Michael Hitchcock
Complete nightmare. Booked in at weight and size it was but a week later I get an email saying they have charged me extra which was triple the original amount due to oversize/weight parcel. They could have advised and questioned before actually giving me the choice or called but no, wed prefer just to have a monopoly on how much we charge you and extort the money without giving me any option! Now thats what you call the Great British Internet Rip Off!!

No tracking information provided in the parcel monkey tracking page but eventually found the DPD link separately but package has been stuck in customs for 2 weeks with no explanation

Used to be a good reliable service but not no more, I booked a parcel for next day collection 24hr delivery after 3 days still not collected, two complaints to the company dealt with by Natalie and Emily, they dont care, think its a bit of a joke, I guess Like parcel monkey, all they offered was to rebook it for tomorrow.... Hardly next day service, do not believe what is written on the website as parcel monkey do not guarantee anything and constantly hide behind the couriers, they take zero responsibility for anything, Delays are now so common you might as well use Evri or Royal Mail, at least it will be cheaper, ParcelMonkey.co.uk do not care one iota and do not offer any kind of compensation despite the damaging effect on my business.

Used parcel monky for the first time. They recommended a few companies one being UPS. The parcel i sent wasnt going long distance relatively short. The parcel got to its first stop no problems. Then I just kept getting emails saying delivery rescheduled. It turns out they cant find the parcel. Contacted parcel monky who were very helpful gave them details etc which they passed on to UPS. So very helpful and cant faul parcel monky. But still dont know where my parcel is hoping UPS sort this as expensive item. But thank you parcel monky for the support you have given so far in this matter.

Use this company fairly frequently, and normally select DHL, as they do collect. Never had a issue, with the label being available about 10 mins after the purchase.
06/09/22 by Frances Thomas
Thank you very much all arrived safely

The driver from parcel force was fantastic, put us at ease regarding the delivery, and assured us!
05/09/22 by Emma Fitchett
Paid for 24 hour delivery, then paid extra for their ‘delivery guarantee’ eg if not delivered in time a refund is given. Parcel finally delivered 5 days later! Told no refund as despite me dropping off the parcel, the courier didn’t bother collecting it for several days so that doesn’t count?!
05/09/22 by Customer
good site to work with
05/09/22 by Customer mark bryson
Very angry about this sent parcel. I completed all the forms correctly, it took some time but I like to get it right. After paying, when I printed the documents for the parcel, I realised that the weight of the parcel was not the weight that I had put on the form. It was too light by 0.5 kg. There was nowhere to alter the weight or cancel and redo it without having to pay for the parcel again. Now the parcel is held up in Norway. They havent sent it to my daughter and it will now probably be opened by customs in Norway because of an error on the forms which I didnt make. Up till now, have always rated this service as 5 /5, but this experience has made me very cross
05/09/22 by Jenny
Sent with UPS drop off ,
Parcels put in with the daily collections where I work , delivered next day .
05/09/22 by Shayne Myers
Very good service with very good nformation and quick service to Eire. I found it very good service Customs information and forms link provided so you dont get ripped off or charged unnecessary
05/09/22 by patrick
Still waiting for the parcel to be delivered even though I paid extra for delivery. Not impressed
05/09/22 by J Fiona Livermore
Good value for money.
05/09/22 by Chris Arnold
This is the second time I have given a disappointing review. They failed to collect my first booking for next day delivery using DPD so I cancelled and rebooked. They failed to collect again and had to use another courier to deliver my very delayed parcel. The only thing I can say is the the response using the online message facility is very good. I requested a refund for both failed collections and have yet to confirm with our accounts department if the money has been refunded.
