The tracking shows that a delivery was attempted. The driver did not attempt as I was waiting and checking outside. No call no card. The day after I was checking the tracking and same think happened. My husband saw the red van and stopped it. The driver told him, that he has to swipe because there were too much deliveries. He took my parcel then It is unacceptable to pay for a service we don’t get

I have used Parcel Monkey a few times to send presents to my Daughter in Dubai - never been a problem. However, this time my daughter was asked and paid extra funds, at her door, by the courier. I also was advised of an extra charge which was debited from my card. I have emailed them to say we have been charged twice, but no response. Im disappointed to be honest as I have recommended them several times.

Never used Parcel Monkey before. Great price, efficient service. What more could you ask for? Will definitely use again.

Parcel Monkey is an excellent Parcel Intermediary negotiating good prices with some of the countrys main carriers: on their site you make your choice of carrier and the price you pay. Service and promptness is consistently good. Parcel Monkey performs a very useful function and is to be highly recommended:

A straightforward process and easy to get updates - Im aware my package has arrived in China so just waiting to hear the goods have arrived at the specific address - thank you for your help

Awful service, could not provide the service paid for with not even an offer of a refund either, never again will I use this company. Booked and paid next day delivery before Christmas. Arranged plenty early enough on the 22nd for the parcel to be due for collection the next day - 23rd - and so a delivery could be made on Christmas Eve the 24th. Spent all day waiting, no courier turned up (Courier) It gets to 17:30 and I decide to reach out… unable to deal directly with the courier the problem began, here came the standard sorry nobody showed up, you need to reschedule malarkey from the website so also sent an email to customer service. Despite fully understanding that the collection had been missed there was no care, no offer of any rectification and again simply said it would need to be rebooked BUT because of the time of year it now wouldn’t arrive until the 29th… making it a full 7 days after booking. Not what I contracted to or paid for and another example of why if using courier services pay the courier directly and deal direct. This firm is aptly named… legend says it’s because they genuinely don’t give a monkeys ????

Great service from start to finish ????

The site organised Post office courier well, but the site itself is pretty trixsy to navigate

The worst experience I ever had with a service! I had to reschedule the delivery FIVE times and they did not manage to come pick up the parcel. They did not give me any call or mail about it, I kept contacting the customer service - the only "explanation" I received was that they did not manage to find my address - five times! They did not even offered to send me a discount or something. In the end I just cancelled the collection. Very very disappointing experience. Do not book anything with them unless you want to be disappointed! Go to Hermes instead!

Fantastic service: easy to use website, competitively priced, communications were effective. The parcel was both collected and delivered on time. I would highly recommend.

Great service and really easy to use. I sent a parcel to the USA and the price on parcel monkey was by far cheaper that other quotes.

Exceptional service and reliability, my first choice for home pick up
03/01/22 by Garry Chinchen
While I loved the user friendly admin of organising and posting my parcels on this side (including all the fiddly declaration of items and their specific tax codes, which was made quite straightforward), I was shocked that my recipients in Germany had to pay a charge due to unpaid taxes. Surely that shouldnt happen?!?

Great experience with Parcel Monkey, very easy to book. It was an international delivery and the courier delivered on time
03/01/22 by Omar Asif
Collected on anticipated day and delivered without issue. Very pleased as it was a last minute booking and very close to Christmas.
03/01/22 by Lynn

Excellent service. Good prices and choice of service providers.

Bunch of chancers. I had a package via Parcel Force that did not make it. Parcel Force have a claims system which from experience is fair and would have given me back the postage at least. This crowd of jokers made every excuse under the sun for not making a claim and in the end stopped replying to my emails. Lesson learned, pay nuts get monkeys. Don’t use this service, if it goes wrong you shall have no recourse. Avoid…..

Our parcel, containing Christmas presents for family members, was collected on 20th December for delivery to an address in Belgium. It was a Parcelforce 48 hour delivery service. Today is 2nd Jan and the parcel has still not been delivered and there is no indication of when (or indeed if) it will be delivered. Parcel Monkey have been utterly useless and effectively washed their hands of the parcel, saying they have no control over what happens when it reaches customs in another country. I wont use Parcel Monkey or Parcelforce again and recommend that others avoid them at all costs.
02/01/22 by Jessica
I paid for next day delivery, my package got picked up on 22nd December, and received it on Thursday 30 th December, I also got notifications on 28th December saying my parcel would be delivered on 23 th December.
02/01/22 by Chas Cannon
Fantastic service. On 21st December, we put through details and quotes for 2 large parcels to be delivered for Christmas Eve > chose Parcel Force 48hour service for this > they picked up the parcel on 22nd December from our home and was delivered with no issues on 24th December to the intended recipients.
Parcel Monkey website is really great and easy to navigate to find your labels, go through the FAQs if you have any questions, see the status of your order. Only comment would be where the quotes are listed and the different delivery types are given, could be made slightly clearer with an added description for clarity. However this is only a very small comment and we were very happy using Parcel Monkey UK for the first time this year and will hopefully use them again in the future. Many thanks.

Hassle free collection and delivery. Great
02/01/22 by Sean Martin
Really good service. Gave me all the options and meant my gifts got where they needed to be in time for Christmas.
02/01/22 by Customer
Delivered as advertised. Confirmation after booking during non working hours was not clear. Pick up was delayed by an hour and I was unsure if the order had been allocated. Online help was quick to response and soon after delivery was collected.
02/01/22 by Anon
From Lancashire to Cornwall in less than 24 hours, hassle free service amazing. Would definitely recommend.
