Reasonable prices and efficient service
It was great to compare prices, I got a cheaper price than I would at the post office counter. The whole process was very simple. The parcel was delivered to my elderly aunt. It was quite heavy and in the past delivery guys have put the parcel inside on the sofa for my aunty. This guy didn’t, he put it on the floor by the door. Which was disappointing since the sofa is four feet from the door. However, the parcel was delivered.
Simple and efficient ????????????
Arrived quickly and at a good price
Parcel delivered on time no fuss.
After being messed around by several carriers whose lists of details grew too long to imagine, Parcel Monkeys Instructions were easy to unserstand and simple to follow.Thank you.
Did exactly what it said on the advert. A parcel coming to me from another parcel company took 5 days longer an cost more
I put in all my details. Chose the service I wanted which cost under £5, added extra insurance, which cost under £3. When it took me to the next page, the bill had jumped up to over £26. Was not happy, went back and changed to a different delivery service and got it all for under £10.
