I always use Parcel Monkey to ship presents to my daughter in China.
Reliable, although the stated timescale is not so fast as is listed.

Parcel Monkey have totally failed to respond to a complaint raised against their contractor, DX couriers. DX managed to deliver my parcel a week late to an address in another part of the country and as the driver gloated when he delivered it to the surprised member of staff at the company in Bishops Stortford, "I think its glass, its broken". Its nearly a month since I raised this complaint that had the package been delivered in time to the correct address instead of shuttled round the country for a week it might have arrived intact. So far the Parcel Monkey automated service, no, of course you cant speak to a real person, have offered me slightly less than it originally cost me to send the package off to its doom and destruction. Totally useless, cost cutting of the worst sort, with the benefit of hindsight the company name says it all. Dont entrust anything to a bunch of monkeys, not even the peanuts.

I sent 2 small boxes of gifts and toys to my son in Dubai, as I have done many times. The boxes were collected on 12 November and shown as delivered on the tracking system 15 November which I thought was good as the delivery time was quoted as 3 to 5 days. On 20 November Processed at Facility appeared on the tracking, and then on 23 November Received as a Return. Further confusion. I was then informed that the courier required further information, but on the customs form, I had provided all the codes etc. as required. I first thought that the boxes were being returned from Dubai, but in fact they had never left the UK. The Parcel Monkey Dashboard is still showing the boxes as delivered, but they are now on their way back to me, after I have paid Parcel Monkey more money for their totally inadequate service. A total of £130.00 for nothing, and a disappointed son and grandchildren. Never again.

Great service.

Apart from my local nearest pick up point not having any DPD labels, meaning i had to find another outlet, it went well.

Was able to send a parcel with a well known trusted company (royal mail) via parcel monkey for almost 50% discount - what’s not to like!!!

As always my parcels arrived safely in Japan, they did get split up and the second was held at customs so arrived a few days later.
I love the way we can track these.
I will be using Parcel Monkey again , I have done so now on many occasions without issue.

Excellent service, super fast collection and delivery
24/11/21 by Ms Bernice Cordier
Excellent service, almost half the price quoted by Parcelforce. Delivered within 48 hours, will be using in future!

Everything you could possibly send is either prohibited or not covered under extended cover.So if your parcel is lost or damaged you will end up losing everything.They only act as a platform for a delivery service so you ate going to be out of pocket.There are plenty more shipping companys to chose from.

Having just been awoken at 23:40 with a reminder to review this site, Im in a less than charitable mood. Parcel monkey is basically a comparison site for delivery companies. It does its job. What else do you need to know.

Excellent service.

parcel gone missing it happens but because i used this service Courier will only go through parcelmonkey and obviously the only thing i get back is we are waiting for a response from couriers , now its nearing 2 weeks since i sent parcel and i cannot get a answer , just go through the parcel company and save yourself a huge amount of time as trying to go through parcelmonkey to get answers is just time consuming

I went through Parcel Monkey and booked a delivery with Parcelforce. Paid extra for next day delivery by noon. The parcel arrived five days later ruined ( it was food). If you complain neither company will take responsibility and you have zero chance of a refund. Parcel Monkey have a good product and their site is easy to use but they are totally reliant on third parties doing their bit.

Very prompt and efficient service

Set up process for the delivery was straightforward and great to have the customs labelled printed out, although not so clear what label had to go where on the parcel.
The tracking updates seemed slow/not automatic but this may have been specific to the destination (China).
The delivery took 12 days, so this was longer than promised at purchase and there was an undetailed hold-up at customs due to incorrect documentation - although I attached all documentation provided at time of ordering.
Overall, happy in the end that the parcel had arrived !
