I missed the courier the first time he called to collect the parcel. I was worried that I would have to re-book and tried to contact the company but without success. However early next morning I received a text saying he would call again that afternoon. He called at the time he said and took the parcel away. It would have been nice to know that he would call again! Otherwise, great service at a great price.

Parcel booked online for delivery overseas dropped at the local post office and arrived at destination in a week. All still intact and perfect. Thank you so much

Disgraceful customer service. If your parcel is not measured millimetre perfect you may be subject to a £52 surcharge. My parcel was 4cm smaller in height than declared and in breach of rules.I could understand if I had sent bigger than what I booked but it was smaller.

I paid for next day delivery- for time sensitive items and they where delivered 3 days later. I wrote to bothe Parcel Monkey and Courier and received no response. My shielding 75 year old Mother received her Birthday cards two days late. Not impressed.

AVOID USING THIS COMPANY I Used this company to arrange a return, the courier turned up on the day 22.3.21 he collected the 25kg parcel and delivered it to their Bury Manchester depot where it disappeared without trace. I have contacted Parcel monkey and DX everyday since but i am still waiting for any positive feedback and am currently £115 out of pocket. APPALLING SERVICE BY ALL CONCERNED

As a small business I used parcel monkey for years. I am very careful with packaging and very rarely have problems.Last year I sent a very robust item (an antique diving helmet) which was packed as well as it could be and it was pretty much crushed in transit causing £600 in damage.Parcel monkey did not want to know .I even wrote to the Chief Executives which was ignored. After I threatened legal action they offered me £160 compensation (£100 + cost of postage).As it was going to take 2+ years to pursue a claim I accepted and they paid £100 then ignored all contact re the remainder, despite the offer being in writing on their customer portal. They are untrustworthy and their customer service is appalling I will never use them again!

Always top performance, I don’t use anyone else.

Rubbish service. Item was a long time to get back to my area then just dropped off with a "neighbor" which I cant find. Support chat is as bad as noone actually chats to you, you are just left hanging there. 0/10

The collection and delivery service were good. However, the item was a picture frame so it was wrapped in bubble wrap several times and fragile was written 3 times on the box but the frame was broken at the corner when it got to the other end so I can only assume that it wasnt treated as a fragile item as it certainly wasnt broken when it was packaged.

I never write reviews - but very miffed at service Paid for parcelforce 24 - next working day - took 2 days to get there complained - was pointed to terms and conditions which say allow up to 5 days despite what you pay for - asked for refund of difference basically tough look at t&cs. Cant think of any other industry where if you dont get what you pay for you dont get your money back. And dont blame Covid.

DO NOT USE! Courier service was suppose to collect my items today (31/3/21), no one showed up so I wasted a full day, no one gave a heads up that they weren’t showing and when I got into contact with Parcel Monkey they said the next available date for collection was 6 days later because that courier service does not collect over the weekend or on bank holidays. When I asked them to collect tomorrow(1/4/21) they said the same thing and I informed them it was neither a bank holiday or the weekend and they said they are not collecting tomorrow, I then informed them that I did another quote on the site and it said that courier service would collect tomorrow to which they responded that the website was not updated, this is false advertisement!! I would give this service 0 stars if I could as there was no communication between me, the courier, or parcel monkey until I contacted them, I would have appreciated the heads up. They were unwilling to try and collect my items tomorrow and looks to me as though they were lying in order to not have to help me out. I will be asking for a full refund. Very disappointed in this service, let me down big time, never using again and will be telling others to not use either!

Really good service from beginning to end and a reasonable price too.
31/03/21 by C Kimberley
I have used this service for over three years. This last year I notice a price increase which has meant I have sent less and I havent been able to track the parcel as well as before, probably due to covid. However the parcels have arrived on time. This time I have been able to track the parcel from start to end.

Using ParcelMonkey was very easy. The parcel was collected and delivered on time as promised.

I booked delivery of some fishing equipment last evening 30/03/2021 and paid by debit card. The payment went through without a problem and it came up on the page that I would receive a label via email within thirty minutes. By eleven PM today I still had not received said email. I went on live chat and the assistant "Yashika" sorted the issue in a couple of minutes.

I arranged for a parcel to be picked up in Hamilton. It was picked up when they said it would be and delivered to me the following day in Inverness. I thought it would take longer, so I was delighted. Will definitely use them again.
