Awful! Avoid. My parcels were not collected twice, no reason, no apology, no compensation. I waited in to have them collected and I’m a key worker. Disgraceful.

Simple to organise, good range of delivery options, easy home label printing and collection and delivery all on time as arranged. What is not to like?

I mean, I can’t believe I actually have to give one star to write this review. Utterly shambolic service, I have waited in ALL WEEK for parcel to be collected, and a no-show by the chosen courier every day. When I emailed the courier they said they had no evidence of this being booked in - the reference code generated by Parcel Monkey was not even recognised by them. Was then assured by PM that collection would be definitely occur on the Friday... guess what. Another no show. When I asked a reason why, was told that they couldn’t provide information on this. No apology, nothing. Avoid like the plague.

ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING! They sold me a service with Parcel Force for 2-5 days shipping. The parcel arrived in 18 DAYS!!!!!!!! Now they have said Parcel Force has rejected my claim of a refund. I will be contacting my bank for a refund. Im absolutely livid.

A week later and the parcel has still not been collected. Cant get hold of any service to assist. No response from email query. Very poor service for what was supposed to be overnight.

I would give it no star if I could. When buyer didnt receive the pot, I started the claim. However 6 weeks on I am still waiting for the outcome of my claim despite being insured for the full value. I gave the buyer full refund so I am out of pocket for £175 if and when I get the payout. I have emailed customer service over 10 times, each time just get a standard reply. I have been a loyal customer over 10 years but honestly the customer service is shocking. DO NOT use if you can help it.

Two months on & Im still waiting for the insurance payout for an item I sold on eBay that was broken in transit to the buyer. I submitted all the papers needed for the insurance claim on 11 Nov 20 and have messaged ParcelMonkey repeatedly asking for updates on the claim. I was advised that ParcelForce has had to send a second questionnaire to the recipient as part of the insurance claim. However the recipient says they completed the first questionnaire six weeks ago (Parcelforce Worldwide Claim WC-2165393 - Damaged Goods Questionnaire). This reflects badly on me as a vendor and I have now paid the recipient myself and am out of pocket £125 until ParcelMonkey pays out on the insurance I paid extra for. My recommendation is to avoid ParcelMonkey at all costs.

Due to lockdown decided to sent Christmas presents to my son and his family. Used parcel monkey for first time. Impressed as chose delivery slot. Labels email to me. Parcel collected on Monday by DHL within a 1 hour slot. Parcel arrived in Leeds next at 5pm. So easy

Highly efficient and so much easier to book a collection/delivery than the Royal Mail site. Will now switch to Parcel Monkey.

Do not use this company. Appalling service. Parcel sent in time for Christmas still not arrived (8th January). Company not interested in sorting out the problem. None existent customer service, just want to close down responses/tickets rather than support the customer. Go elsewhere

Parcel monkey was very easy to use picked up when they said in fact they were early delivered promptly with everything that is going on in the country I was very impressed thank you

Took 6 attempts to finally get my parcel collected

quick and efficient

Appalling. Despite my checking the rules for international carriage before sending and packaging as required, my item was deemed prohibited. Parcel Monkey then sent an email to me saying pay additional for a return or have your items (worth £200) destroyed??? The return charge was extortionate. I contacted the actual carrier (DPD) direct who said they do not charge for return to sender items. So why did I get charged an extra £17? Total cost £53 to send a small parcel 1.3kg, 28 x 20 x 10 cm to South Hampton and return to me (instead of to Cyprus) . Why was my item accepted in the first place. AVOID AVOID AVOID. Check the prices with Royal Mail - half the price. Made an error believed Parcel Monkey to be cheaper. Not true. Do not use. Go direct. Customer service is woeful. Email only contact and replies given one sentence. Therefore, no answers what so ever. Incredibly frustrating and total rogues. Would give 0 if possible. What do you say Parcel Monkey??

My parcel was returned for a reason I still dont know exactly, it was destined for NY, got 5 miles to the sorting area, then returned. Parcel monkey have informed me I must pay again as the service has been used... Disgusting, Id strongly consider rowing across the Atlantic rather than use these again.

We were very impressed with this service and found it very easy to use the website and will certainly recommend it to others.

3rd parcel in a row not collected on the specified day. 2 of these were never even booked with the relevant couriers.

I was very impressed with parcel monkey they picked up my parcel and I was able to track it with great ease
07/01/21 by Mrs Kellie
my item couldnt be delivered even though it was the correct address, I amended to a drop off shop as requested - they didnt do this - the parcel hasnt been delivered and I can pay £12 to have it sent back to me on top of the delivery charge I have already paid and not been refunded ??? bad service
07/01/21 by Customer
Terrible delivery service and customer service was equally dismal. Package was lost and Parcel Monkey will not only not reimburse for contents, as it was a gift, but refuses to reimburse for the substantial postage amount. Do NOT recommend this service. Use a reputable delivery agency.
07/01/21 by Mary
Another successful delivery - thank you!
07/01/21 by Gill Phillips
I needed to send a present to Wales. After I put in the dimensions and weight I got a list of prices and chose DHL who also pick up the parcel.
I received the label to print as soon as I had paid. The parcel was picked up at the time I was notified and arrived safely in Wales the next day.
07/01/21 by Mrs Janet Davies
