Really impressed with the efficiency of the service. Had to send equestrian products to a friend in SA and it got there relatively quickly despite custom issues. We were kept in the loop and highly recommend this company.

Used the collect system & it took seconds only for the driver to put a label on & take the parcel. Excellent, thank you very much & at a good price too!

I can live with a "next day" parcel taking 15 days to be delivered. I can live with a fake POD being posted. I can live with incorrect excuses being posted by the driver. I can live with the fact that the parcel was delivered cut open, I can even live with the fact that some items were stolen from inside, because most of that is down to the delivery company. What I cant live with is the attitude and poor customer service from the, aptly named parcel "monkeys". They will tell you youre not insured too so if you do lose a parcel or something gets stolen from inside they will refuse to help you. They have ignored numerous requests from me to speak to a human being and have, to date, not replied to my request for their address so I can write a formal complaint. This is the worst customer service I have EVER experienced. Use them at your own risk.

Parcel monkey was recommended to me and was simple to use and informative.
I.e. their are couriers to use if you have not got a printer, at similar prices.

Easy to book and fair price

I’m very disappointed. I have very important legal documents I sent withParcel Monkey which should have reached their destination within 3-5 days. It’s now day 4 and they have still not left the UK. Will definitely not use them again.

Terrible - DO NOT USE Terrible! Booked a parcel for collection on Wednesday for delivery on Thursday before 10:30am. On Wednesday we got an automated email stating "WE STOPPED BY Unfortunately, nobody was home to collect your parcel. Our Courier Parcel driver attempted to collect your parcel at 12:58 today, but unfortunately you were away." This is rubbish, we are a business and our reception is manned 8am - 8pm, nobody came to collect. I raised this with parcel Monkey and they rescheduled a new collection for the next day, however again we got an automated message saying nobody was home - NOBODY CAME TO COLLECT! We complained again stating that this was for an important client and for the 3rd time today on Friday we got a message saying we were out?! Impossible, NOBODY CAME TO COLLECT? We contacted parcel monkey again, and they simply said they would reschedule our collection for Monday. The item was due to be delivered on Thursday before 10:30am? We will not be using them again.

No problems when using for the first time - to Switzerland. Great to get the documents all ready to print out and stick on the parcel.

Great service. Ive used them for shipping several guitars over the years.

Excellent site - quick and easy to use. Thank you!

Sent 2 parcels to Switzerland, 1 using Royal Mail and the other using Parcel Monkey via Parcelforce. Both parcels collected within 30 minutes of each other. Royal Mail parcel arrived 5 days later as expected. ParcelForce parcel was still in Coventry 8-9 days later and was eventually delivered 16 days later. Parcel Monkey customer support tells me there is nothing they can do - not even any attempt to find out what happened for the 8-9 days delay in Coventry. I wont be using them again because a good company is one that helps when things go wrong, they dont just leave the customer hanging with no explanation or compensation

Great service

Simply put in parcel details and got the comparison results. Picked the most appropriate one and paid. Sorted. Parcel went out when it was meant to and reached its destination when it was meant to. What more can you ask?
11/06/21 by Moira
MUCH cheaper than Royal Mail and easier and quicker to drop off at the Post Office. Thank you Parcel Monkey. Wish you could set up printing stations in some shops though like cash machines. People could pop in with the postage info as per your website, insert their bank cards and PIN and then hit the print button to get a quick convenient label - that would be amazing and even easier!!!

An easy way to find a good rate for a large parcel. Excellent service.

I was finding it difficult to return a wheelchair a rather bulking and heavy item. However parcel monkey made the experience simple, all I had to do was give the dimensions and the weight and they were able to find me a suitable carrier.

Disaster - do not use this service. I have wasted hours in total trying to sort out their mess up. I got a card through my door with their phone number - phoned to ask for redelivery of parcel A. They delivered me back a different parcel B that I had sent out - ... the parcel B I sent out came BACK to me!! Oh my goodness, what a mess and its still not sorted, although I did finally, finally get the original parcel A destined for my house after further chasing. But Im still trying to get my parcel B sent to the right address.

Sent parcel on a 24-hour service via Parcel Force, booked through Parcel Monkey UK. Dropped the parcel off early Thursday afternoon and it arrived with my client late afternoon the following Tuesday which was one day too late. Both myself and client were very disappointed with the service as the parcel (containing DNA kits) was time-critical. Very poor service.
10/06/21 by Customer
satisfactory and efficient service
10/06/21 by Abdulhusain
They sent me an email to say that my Cabinet could not be returned to the store as the size and weight were not correct. I had to pay more for haulage (even more than the price of the article ) even though the weight was half of what I’d stated. Right now I have no idea where my cabinet is. The store says it’s not been delivered. I’ve had to abandon it through frustration. I don’t have the time for this nonsense. (eBay tried to help but got no further with them either.)
10/06/21 by Marijke Lewis
Easy to use, seemed good value for money options. And parcel delivered safely!

Ive used several online parcel shipping comparison sites, but keep using ParcelMonkey regularly. Why, sensible shipping prices, good insurance prices. AND, the very fact that when you email them with a problem they actually sort it out. Very pleased with this company.
10/06/21 by Mark
Amazing service. Picked up 2 parcels from local PO. On Thursday afternoon. Delivered Saturday morning to Southern Ireland

Once again 10 out of 10. I can only say that i find this the best way to send parcels at the best prices .I have used parcel monkey for both UK and European parcels and all have arrived safely.
10/06/21 by ALAN
I’ve used parcel monkey several times now. The site is very good and easy to navigate and the prices and service details are well explained.
Choosing the service is easy, paying simple and it just works. Truly a great experience.
10/06/21 by Gordon
Absolutely appalling service. Parcels all arrived late. When I contacted customer service they were unhelpful and the insurance that I took out is apparently useless as they will not compensate me for my late parcels even though I’ve had to refund my customers. So I’m out of pocket by £110.
