We sent a parcel through Parcel monkey using DPD services overseas to our customer of 2 years in Sweden. The customer did not receive a notification about duties to be paid from Parcel Monkey or DPD and the parcel has now been sent back and I am having to pay for the parcel to be returned. We have also now lost custom as this was the first order placed since we left the EU. We will never use this company again and if you are thinking about using them please save yourself the hassle! The customer service is absolutely shocking and it can take days before you can get hold of them. There is no phone number and this just adds to the stress when things are going wrong. Terrible company! Terrible customer service!

This was an excellent courier experience - less than forty eight hours from pick up of 25Kg in Leeds to delivery in South West of Ireland.Great price too and also dealt with the customs. Well done Parcel Monkey and well done DPD

Efficient service as always. More complex to send abroad due to Brexit, but Parcel monkey made it as straight forward as it could.

First of all, even though I had paid for the collect from door service, the driver refused to come up to collect the parcel because he said ‘the waiting time for the elevator was too long’. He demanded I come downstairs. Then, apparently parcelmonkey lost my parcel. I am truly disappointed by this appalling service and expect a full refund and compensation for the parcel.

Service was efficient but parcel insurance levels are obscene. 50 pounds to cover transport of a coffee machine, may be down to Royal mail as monkey is just a webservice

A bad experience with Parcel Monkey. Decided to give them a try due to the range of courier options offered and anticipated competitive pricing structure. The first parcel I sent was via Courier next day and was delayed unexpectedly. I alerted Parcel Money who cited T&Cs and said that delivery was not guaranteed. Apparently I was part of an unlucky 1-2% of failed next day deliveries. Lo and behold the next parcel I sent (same service) was also automatically delayed by at least a day. Contrary to Parcel Monkey citing this as uncommon, it seems to be the norm. Flagged it with Parcel Monkey who could not have been less interested, again citing no guarantees. To add insult to injury, I paid over £30 for an expensive item to go Courier through these guys, which would have been significantly cheaper AND guaranteed next day through Royal Mail. Id paid more on the assumption that Courier would be more reliable, but more fool me - the delivery is not even using the main Courier operation (different scanning labels and drivers etc), so the service level is well below par. Needless to say I wont be using this company again and suggest others take note if you are sending items and anticipating an efficient service - you wont find it here!

Good delivery and was able to get better price than going with Parcel Force directly.

I have used Parcel monkey three times over the last 12 months. The first time was perfectly fine, but the other two have been awful. Both were parcels being sent to Japan from the UK, gifts for younger cousins. A week after each parcel arrived I received an email saying that the courier had weighed the parcel at 2x what it actually did, and I was charged an extra amount in the realm of £20 for each parcel. After making a complaint the first time, I thankfully had a receipt from collection where they had weighed my parcel at lower than the declared weight, so could prove that the additional charge was incorrect, and I was refunded. The second time I have made another complaint, and on checking the courier they have now said my weights were correct, but the dimensions they have given are clearly incorrect as one of the two parcels in that shipment was a certificate folder, and could not be 16cm deep. I am yet to receive a refund for this charge, and the company are currently refusing to give one, but I will update my review to reflect if they do.

Received an additional charge of £387.97, parcel monkey not helpful, not understanding the logic that my parcel weighed 4.85kg at home but volume weight is 95kg..!

Disgusting Response. Ordered with Courier, they collected two parcels but one would not scan but the driver took it anyway. Funnily enough, has got lost and nobody knows where it is. Courier not helpful because we booked through Parcelmonkey, who turned around and said its nothing to do with them because we dont have any proof the parcels were collected in the first place (Courier dont leave anything, including an email) so have wiped there hands of it. Possibility of £2000 down the drain, disgusting.
