Parcel monkey does not clear your shipment through customs!!! My delivery is 10 days late so far. Ordered a shipment from the UK to South Africa. Every other courier company I have ever used, contacts you when the shipment arrives in destination country and assists with the clearing of your parcel through customs. My shipment is stuck in customs, I have been sent a contact number and told to phone the number and clear the parcel myself. Side note: I have no idea who the courier company is that was used. All I have is a Parcel Monkey tracking number - What am I going to say when I call customs? "My name is Kim do you know where my parcel is?" Right... Super frustrating - definitely dont recommend them - Spend an extra $10 and use Courier or Aramex or a courier service with a customs clearance team.

27kg of Additional luggage arrived in Malaysia within a few days of collection n the UK. Very happy with the price - 1/3 of the cost of extra luggage from the airline. Finding the correct import codes for each item was difficult for someone without experience, but possible

I’m using Parcel monkeys for many years and found them always reliable and professional, Never had any issues with International parcels or Packages, I always use only use them and never thought of any other companies.

There was a slight issue with missed delivery but when contacted it was sorted very quickly and efficiently.

I pay for 24 hour service but it never goes 24 hour. The last 4 boxes that I sent one box got delivered the next day then the other one got there a day later. Then the other 2 boxes that was going to a different address the first box arrived 48 hours later and left at the door and the person it was for was away for a few days as it was a bank holiday so it wasn’t signed for by the person then the next box didn’t arrive for another 48 hours so all in all it took 5 day to arrive but it was a 24hour service that I paid for.I know there was a strike but it didn’t last for 5 day. If u pay for a 24 hour service that should be what you receive.

My parcel has gone all the way Slovakia so I could get a refund but is now on it’s way back to me, despite all the customs docs being enclosed. I have wasted money on a pair of skates having a tour of Europe.

If I could give no stars I definitely would! Parcel damaged and parcel monkey can’t even respond to emails regarding refund! Absolutely diabolical!!!

Booked a parcelforce collection, waited in ALL day and they didn’t turn up. When I checked they lied and said there was no one available at home!! Rebooked collection for the next day and the same thing happened AGAIN!! I ended up taking the huge parcel to the post office myself, which was very inconvenient but I had a customer waiting for their item. I contacted Parcel Monkey and they were not helpful or sympathetic at all. I would definitely not use either parcel monkey or parcelforce again. Very unhappy with the service provided.

Picked this company to send the parcel to Israel. Weight my parcel at the post office it was less that 3.5kg all correct measurements. Paid £52 to this company after they took the parcel I received an email that they have changed my card additional £12 due to incorrect weight which is totally lying. Very disappointed

The sign of a good company is how they perform when things go wrong. I have been using Parcel Monkey for 5 years sending care packages to my son in Europe. Mostly without issue. However when the last parcel went astray they sorted the issue quickly without fuss. Keeping me well informed throughout.

Did not attempt to deliver to the address as requested, my parcel was instead delivered to a pick up point 20 minutes drive away. very inconvenience.

parcel organized to be collected was picked up as arranged with no problems

This is horrendous. I have used this platform to book courier services on three separate occasions within the last few months. Each time this has resulted in the contents being damaged beyond repair. Lost so much money as a result that just fills me with despair. I’m really angry that some people would be so careless!

I paid for a parcel to be delivered to Guernsey 30th June from the UK and it still has not arrived at its destination. I have been contacting parcel monkey daily and I keep getting the same response that they are contacting the courier. I paid for ‘insurance’ through parcel monkey to cover the contents of the parcel as it’s worth £600 and when i ask what their policy is for claiming they ignore me and say they are still awaiting information from the courier! what a joke!
