Easy to book and good prices. Parcel was collected on the states day and driver was respectful of covid rules.
Cant comment on delivery as it’s going to Australia and due to arrive later this week.

Superb service. Parcel picked up promptly by friendly courier. Arrived next day and all items in box were in one piece. Easy.

AVOID if you dont want money taken off your card without permission! they took money out of my card with the excuse that my parcel was half a kilo more than it was. When I disputed they confirmed a completely different weight less than stated. They refused to refund hiding behind the fact thats it was dpd that made the charge even though I sent them evidence that parcel monkey were the ones that misinformed me. After 2.5 weeks (!) of going back and forth with someone named Jessica, they were avoiding blatantly the fact that they misinformed me and took money off my bank based on wrong information and continued sending the same irrelevant template. And the issue is still NOT resolved.

It was so easy to describe my parcel and print out the label. I sent it via DPD and it arrived next day!
I was kept informed of it’s progress and so was the recipient.
Excellent service

Stay away dont use Parcel Monkey!!! I booked a courier and it has been with them since 9th Dec!!!!! Can you beleive it! Dont make my mistake. I wanted to send 2 medium size boxes to my family at chrismas time which never were shipped and of course they took my money immediately (almost 300GBP) they refused at fist to cancel which I asked them if you didnt ship them and you dont want to return them to me what are you planning to do? To just keep them? Of course you never get a clear answer just an apology and that they are working on it and when they answer they never read the previous emails so they reply with somthing relevant no they just reply with wrong answers things that dont relate to the current situation of yor case. Dont use them they are a rip off. Now after 3 months and a half I dont know where my stuff are and if they are going to return them which I doubt after all this time. Please stay away as far as you can!!!!

Many things broken the parcel was delivered in a good time but..... many things broken inside, I think the parcel was dropped often during travel

I dropped the parcel off in Sheffield on March 2nd and it has still not arrived in Spain. When I track it, it appears to be in Birmingham! I am very disappointed as the parcel has missed my daughters birthday. When I arranged the delivery the delivery time wa supposed to be 3 - 7 days. I realise this may all be due to Brexit but that doesnt help me.

I have sent a parcel with them at the beginning of February and ai still don’t have it. Most likely it got lost. I’ve contacted last week for the second time customer service and no one answered me. Awful service, I definitely don’t recommend it.

Was very convenient and I could compare, cant remember if it was easy to compare the added insurance costs which alter the total costs, but this would be handy in the summary of comparisons if it isnt already there.

Great prices compared to going direct and helpful customer service

I’m still waiting on the parcel. It’s day 12 it was supposed to be delivered within 4-6 days
22/03/21 by Customer
Always excellent, we send around 1 - 3 parcels per day via Parcel Force. Have done so for around 12 months at least.

Excellent service , picked up Monday delivered on Thursday to Boston USA

Absolutely awesome, I was so surprised. Nowadays other parcel firms have promoted their image on price and value, and it just isnt the case. Sent two, tall, solid wooden barstools 300 miles and it cost £23 on next day delivery. Fantastic

Ive used this service in the past and I have never had any problem, unfortunately this time the parcel took almost a month to arrive without any updates on the tracking page. Eventually when it arrived, the recipient had to pay 80 euros in taxes! I wasnt made aware in any way of this risk and being a present I thought it would have been ok. I think the recipient paid so much because when I purchased the service I had to fill out full details of the customs status of each item (it took me 40 minutes to look for each single code) but when i sent the package the paperwork generated by Parcel Monkey didnt include all the details, only a summary. I attached it to the parcel and sent it off! I sent them an email asking for help but they failed to understand what I was asking!! I asked for some compensation given that it wasnt my fault and I managed after pushing to obtain a refund of only the money I paid for the parcel itself. So I lost €80. Parcel Monkey blamed it on Brexit, but they should be more transparent and honest about the risks, and ensure the correct paperwork is provided. Dont think I will ever use them again!

5 star service
21/03/21 by Julie Davis
Beware, they actually charge more than Parcelforce and refuse to refund the difference when queried, which was over £10!! They also dont use the same postcode finder so the parcel hasnt been delivered to the correct place due to this. Wont use again!

Ordering and pickup was great. However, having paid the extra to have a faster delivery, 19 days on my parcel is still in transit and instead of going straight to Canada it went into the USA and then attracted tax to go from the USA into Canada. At this moment we are still waiting for it to reach its destination.

First time i have used Parcel Monkey and too be honest i was very impressed with the service and ease of sending my parcel. Online use was very easy and simple to use. Dropping off at the local post office was straightforward and the tracking of where my parcal was in transit was excellent. Overall i wil be using Parcel Monkey again because i am one very happy customer.
