Best price found for my parcel, cheaper than going direct to the courier.

Booked a collection for a parcel online. They gave me a time slot the next day which they didnt show up in. Then I was told to wait until 6pm, when they still didnt show up. At 6pm I wasnt offered any explanation, my collection was just booked on to the next day without consulting me and no offer of compensation. The next day came and they didnt even send a time slot. I requested a refund and Im still waiting. They have now stopped replying to me after I cancelled the shipment.

Thank heaven people at Parcel Monkey understand the written word. I had trouble with getting a simple collection and delivery with Hermes who said the item hadnt been delivered but was never actually collected despite sending me an email saying they had tried to deliver it! BUT Parcel Monkey and Express 48 did it no problem at all. Collected, transported and delivered all on time; no fuss, no bother, no lies and no issues. WELL DONE PARCEL MONKEY people. Ill be using the service again. Does what it says on the tin ????

The courier service was fine, but the account service is abysmal. Im currently locked out of my account, which means I cant receive a refund for the shipping cost, as Parcel Monkey do not send a cost breakdown as standard. As there seems to be no way of contacting the company without logging in, it appears Parcel Monkey have just locked me out of a full refund.

Excellent service from start to finish. Would recommend other companies need to learn from Parcel Monkey & DHL.

Terrible company and know help after parcel dropped off at parcel company location, two days later it’s still sitting there.

I changed my country from the UK to Turkey, and as I lived in the UK for five years, I had many boxes to send to Turkey. I did send all of them with parcel monkey, and it was an excellent experience for me. All my stuff were safely delivered to my address. Thank you!

Very good service, parcel delivered next day as promised.

Was promised a same-day parcel delivery option via Parcelmonkey with DPD. DPD never showed up. I understand this is DPDs fault, but the way Parcelmonkey dealt with this, was by telling me to wait, followed by oh were sorry. No compensation, no nothing. Wouldnt recommend them.

Together with Parcel Force just the best .

Booked parcelforce via parcel monkey and the parcel was damaged or should I say savaged.

Great service, quick and reliable

Easy to book/arrange and drop off for parcel was very close. Very reasonable rates for this service, clear step by step instructions and detailed information with regards to types of acceptable packaging. Also informed when parcel was delivered.

Fine until something goes wrong. I sent a package to Poland which arrived damaged and with an essential document missing. The Parcel Monkey complaints service (essentially a chat line so you deal with a different person each time) replied with platitudes and excuses. I am unconvinced that they pressed Parcelforce to undertake a rigorous search for my lost document. I am left feeling dismissed, dissatisfied and devalued.

The site was easy enough to use and prices competitive but the info on how long the parcel will take to deliver was false. Supposed to take 5 days, it’s been almost two weeks and still not delivered. Could argue that’s not parcelmonkeys fault but I want by the info on the website

I reviewed Parcelmonkey recently and offered a very favourable report. I seem to get further reminders to review them on here so have posted another one in the hope the reminders wont carry on.
Yes, I was pleased with them (particularly in conjunction with Parcelforce who did the actual delivery ... all very impressive.

Great, speedy service and easy to use. Very happy and would definately use Parcel Monkey again
10/11/21 by Catherine Hill
Got there quickly and in time, however there could have been a better explanation on what was actually going to happen, as i was left a little in the dark and had to figure out by myself where the parcel was
10/11/21 by Customer
This was a mirror so wasnt hopeful, arrived in perfect nick and quick. Brilliant
Thanks

The order was delayed a bit from the intended date, but it was not fatal and everything ended well.

Avoid this company at all cost, use another courier. I was sending a parcel to America but luckily realised it was a scam buyer so I cancelled the parcel within 23 hours of booking it, I then got the parcel stopped myself because they did nothing so it never left the parcel force depot & was returned to me but these people keep telling me they sent it to America so I can’t have my money back. I’ve tried telling them this but they don’t listen. AVOID AVOID AVOID

Arranged next day collection. The courier never came. I contacted ParcelMonkey and they offered to rearrange collection for the next day (i.e. 2 days after it was supposed to have been collected). Useless.
10/11/21 by Stuart
I arranged a collection of some parcels but they were not collected. You said it was because the order had not proceeded to payment. I explained that the order had proceeded to payment as the payment was debited from my bank account. I provided a copy of the bank statement showing this. Six weeks on, and I am having to chase the refund. Not great customer service.
10/11/21 by Customer
Yes service was good
10/11/21 by Don MacAulay
Great price, big savings compared to going direct to the carrier.
10/11/21 by Peter Middleton
I love that I left instructions for the parcel collection and it was followed
That was after 1 week trying to do same with the other parcel site
Will be doing more parcels with the monkey now.
And the tree planting is great too

Their service quality getting worse everyday. They lost my parcel and they dont accept any responsiblity, they didnt even want to refund the shipping money, their emails were very priggishly. Now my parcel lost, my customer is unhappy, i lost money and my product! Who won? ParcelStealerMonkeys

I am still waiting for my parcel to be collected a week later and cannot get a reply or an update from parcel monkey, who tell me not to contact the courier directly. This is really frustrating.

Sent a rug back with the same packaging and weight declared by sender got out the measuring tape and everything - was initially charged £23 for the service however 2 weeks later told it was over weight and charged me an additional £52 - so £75 in total to return a rug! I’ll get it weighed were I can see how much it cost myself next time as there much cheaper alternatives!

My experience with Parcel Monkey using DHL has been brilliant, DHL staff are competent and incredibly helpful no matter how busy. The Parcel Monkey booking system is so easy to use. Delivery on time and impeccable, thank you so much.
