Additional unauthorised charges were levied while the package remains "lost" with no genuine relation whatsoever to the weight or dimensions of the package sent. It is not possible to dispute the charges. No evidence is presented beyond a series of random numbers which fluctuate depending on who you speak to in "customer service". It goes a little something like this: 1) Purchase service with package weight and dimensions x. 2) Service tendered from courier with weight and dimensions y < x. 3) "Oversized package!" Charge original payment method stored without consent. Now, you might overestimate so your package has a bit of wiggle room. Well, this is covered! In this case the package is claimed to be between 200 and 500 percent oversize, rendering it larger than the average adult male yet sliding by undetected when accepted at the Post Office and Customs as a small package weighing under 3 kg. On raising these concerns, it is noted that "lasers" are used to measure the weight and dimensions of the package. It was at this point I checked in the bushes for alien lifeforms and cast my wandering eye to a barn creature fluttering between the clouds. ("Lasers" certainly are used for the calculation of volumetric weight, which they do by measuring exterior dimensions and making a calculation that was in this case covered, but nowhere services a package 500 percent larger than declared.) Customer service have gone around in circles for a week now and the package remains "lost". In that respect it is not necessarily the additional charges that are more concerning but perhaps the basic service of "deliver a package" which was also paid for but is yet to be fulfilled 3 weeks onwards and with a stone wall from the actual courier involved. And frankly, if the package had been delivered then the charge could perhaps have been overlooked. If it is a scam then it truly is one of the worst scams ever devised. I absolutely do not expect a competent response after reading the canned replies to other reviews posted here but I welcome any possible explanation towards this unfortunate series of unusual events which goes toward ruling out fraud so the payment processor can be updated.

This truly is the worst company ever! Customer service is appalling, you get no support at all. I would say avoid at all costs. I think the customer chat box is a robot as nothing it says makes sense, do not take any responsibility for missing parcels and they do not have a contact number for you to speak to a real person. AVOID!!!!

Good price and excellent customer service. I accidentally created a new order for a 2nd parcel that was already on my first order. This was probably as a result of frustration due to issues with company I normally use. I was able to easily cancel this order and get a refund. Will use parcel monkey next time.

I wanted to send 10kg packet by ParcelMonkey....this time "paypal payment" was not visible (even I used paypal many times before), so I decided to pay by Debit Card. From Parcel Monkey, I bought Courier label. Courier came to collect, and then delivered it next day. Few weeks later I got email saying that they put 60£ EXTRA CHARGE, becasue my packet was 2 times bigger and weight 90kg !!!!! FAKE DIMENSIONS and WEIGHT without any proof from them, and THEY STEAL 60£ from my account. I provided them photo proofs of content, box with dimensions and proper 10kg weight. ParcelMonkey said they will send it to Courier to help. HOWEVER ONLY RESPONSE FROM PARCEL MONKEY IS "packet was delivered"...nothing about getting my money back. I believe ParcelMonkey wanted to cheat my from beginning, and to do that I didnt had an option to pay by PayPal, like I had before. If it would be PayPal I would get my money back easlie. *** AVOID THEM IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE CHEATED *** MANY PEOPLE HAD SAME PROBLEM *** PARCEL MONEKY IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO HELP CUSTOMERS***** I CAN PROVIDE COPY OF OUR CHATS **********

Lost an expensive parcel and the contact/customer service process is pretty much non-existent. Neither Parcel Monkey nor DPD will take any responsibility. I would absolutely avoid unless you enjoy playing Russian roulette with your parcels.

Parcel Monkey and DPD did a great job!

Great website, lots of choice, use with confidence.

I sent two parcels one day after another, The first one was lost from the start the second disappeared before it went to export. The customer service was very pleasant about telling me I couldnt claim as I hadnt taken the insurance. Why should I be expected to pay for insurance in case they dont do their job properly? It makes no sense, I couldnt take a direct conversation with the couriers as I had "saved money" with Parcel Monkey and had to try and get some action from customer service. The service may work when everything goes well but forget this company if things dont go to plan. I now have fork out £1500 to replace the second-hand equipment I had sent

Fantastic. Our Daughter in Laws birthday in Cambodia was yesterday 5th June. I forgot it was a Bank Holiday last weekend but we went online arranged a collection from Parcel Monkey and her parcel arrived in Kampot Town on the morning of her birthday. Incredible. Very Happy Birthday.
