I ordered two seperately insured ~£25 collections for delivery today with DX, and was only given a 09:00 - 17:00 collection time window. Nobody showed up whilst I was waiting all day, no notification what so ever. The only option I had was to rebook them, so now I have another full day of hoping somebody might another couriers. I contacted support who advised me that there was no compensation for "late collections", "as this is not a guaranteed service until collected." Unacceptable.

Great service. Easy to select the most appropriate courier and option. Plenty of feedback to let me know what was happening and when.

A very useful site. Due to cancellation of family Christmas, I wanted to send 2 large parcels to Aberdeen....a new experience. A simple, easy to use site, well laid out , giving choices of carrier, who offer different times for delivery and cost. Once chosen, payment and label printing trouble free. Bonus...the parcels arrived Christmas Eve!
Would recommend and use again.

Excellent service, my parcels were collected on time and delivered to Sweden within the period stated. Have recommended Parcel Monkey to my friends.

Though I send large parcels infrequently, I always use Parcel Monkey to find the cheapest service to suit me. I have never experienced any difficulties and have been pleasantly surprised with the costs for sending parcels. Happy to recommend Parcel Monkey

Supposed to be delivered 3/4 days. I dropped it off on 18th. Didn’t even get picked up until 21st. It’s now 30th and apparently it out for delivery now. I know chaos was caused by borders being closed due to Covid, that’s not really this issue. It more that they don’t advise you that your package won’t be picked up the day you drop it off, they should tell you when the next pick up is due from the drop off point.

Great Service
Cheaper than the Post Office - Collected on time - delivered on time - what more can you ask?

I paid for same day pick up and delivery courier, it took all day for them to find a driver, I had to keep calling for an update. With still no confirmations of any driver by 7pm that evening I cancelled the order with one of the operators, was promised a full refund, it’s now 2 weeks later and no refund in sight. I have sent emails and no replies in regards to my order. Definitely not using again.

Very easy to book and collection was good. Although the parcel was due to be delivered within 3 days nearly 2 weeks has passed and the parcel has not arrived in Switzerland
30/12/20 by Adrian Caulfield
They never sent my parcel after not collecting for 5 days then had me pay to return it and only returned 2 out of the 3 and have stopped responding as to where the third one went. As they work with the courier you cannot take up the issue directly and parcel monkey does not respond.

1 day delivery during Christmas time , truly amazing.
30/12/20 by Anna
very easy to use when i needed a parcel posted at short notice before xmas, brilliant, will definitely use again, thank you

for some reason we had to pay customs charges of £80? we have used other couriers previously and not had to pay this.

Brilliant service !again and again !

I have used parcel monkey For 6 parcels in the last 3 wks - only 3 out of 6 parcels were delivered within the purchased allotted time. 2 were delivered a day late and 1 was delivered finally after 7 working days and not the 2 day delivery i had purchased. The tracking on all 3 of these Parcels was very poor, the international parcel was particularly poor. It is for this reason that i would not recommend parcel monkey

Excellent service. I appreciate being given a time slot by DPD when the parcel was to be collected and delivered.
30/12/20 by Gylla Magee
Great service got there before time they said happy all round.

Appalling service. Failed to collect one day so rearranged for next day with instructions to collect from box just outside the house. Both times I had labels delivered to the letterbox at the end of the drive but no sign of the courier that was supposed to have tried to collect the parcel. The parcel remains in the box outside .. I am utterly disappointed in this, I thought that it was a good idea as the parcel is big and I dont drive but I will have to find another way now. I have asked for a refund.

The package was abandoned in Couriers office for one month and not delivered to the recipient within the 3-5 day window. No contact from Courier despite having the recipient details. It took many hours battling the offices of Parcel Monkey and Courier to locate shipping.... very disappointed. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH SERVICE VERY DISAPPOINTED SERVICE. I shipped two packages on 17 November 2020 with delivery times as 3/4 days. To date no sight of either and no real explanation as to wha became of them. One has been in Customs (Kingston Jamaica) since 21.11.20. The other they say has been out for delivery since that date (Guadeloupe). We are told that the receipient has employed their own brokers to deal with Customs and delivery. The recipient have not even received a text/telephone/email from shippers. Very frustrating customer service department who repeatedly say the same thing and puts the burden on myself to track these packages. What a shambles - 2 weeks later and nothing has arrived. I could have posted this in the normal way by Post Office. Very disappointed as the event has past..... that the things were for.

A great service from door to door from the UK to New Zealand.
I especially liked the fact that I could tract the parcel all of the way and could confirm when it had been delivered.
Will certainly use the service again.
Many thanks and Happy New Year.

Great service from Parcel Monkey. Like the dashboard where I can check my consignment. Very competitive prices especially from Parcel Force.
30/12/20 by Customer
I still have not received my parcel which was picked up on the 21/12. To be fair there has been a problem with the border closing between France and the U.K. My dissatisfaction is with the accessibility and lack of information- all I can find out from tracking my parcel is that’ it is on its way back to ParcelMonkey’ what does this mean? What will happen next to my parcel? The online support keeps going offline so I’m not sure if my enquiry is being dealt with.
30/12/20 by Andrea Howard
A 2.4kg parcel, UK to USA, quicker than sending a Christmas card in the UK.
Fantastic, Thank you ????
