First Class (and not just the postage)

•Time scale not accurate •Communication on parcel whereabouts is average •Foreign addresses are difficult to input as they use characters which are not recognised, resulting in issues with delivery

Very easy to use, was abit hesitant because never used this site or method before, all went perfectly smooth, no issues at all, and everything was update on the site, the pick and delivery details all live and up to date
excellent service highly recommended, would now use again

Really easy to log in, book the parcel in and arrange drop off. Helpful at drop off. Was given slip with contact details. Parcel arrived next day exactly when promised. Very pleased customer!

The worst service ever. Picked up on 31st December not delivered till 15th of January and 4 broken ítems. I wish to start a reclamación for the broken ítems . Please inform me what documents you need AnnAuld. Xxx

Parcel took a week to arrive despite parcel force 2 days being booked. Parcel contents box too short if multiple items are sent. Despite this, good value for money and good service generally

My parcel has gone missing and no one is bothered. Messages go unanswered and have to chase for feedback.

Still waiting for Parcel Monkey to arrange for DPD to collect parcel number 15503275123151. It should have been collected on 14th Jan, its now the 15th and its still sat waiting in reception. Their Live Chat feature advises us to contact Parcel Monkey, however submitting their website contact form, results in a "CRM" error being reported, it doesnt work - JUST LIKE THEIR SERVICE. So, getting in touch with them via writing this review is the only way of making contact - their choice, not mine.

My item arrived damaged, Im currently working to resolve the issue so hopefully it works out

Always very reliable and competitively priced and convenient with a post office drop off.

tracking numbers didnt work. Then when I contacted them for assistance I needed to spend an hour creating a ticket for each delivery. There is no central support to resolve issues unless you create separate tickets for each order which is a nightmare when youve sent multiple parcels. Not impressed. Should be able to give my order number and someone deal with itt. Or better still - Parcel Monkey should assign the correct traceable tracking numbers to orders. Reply from Parcel Money: (!!!) This will take too much time for us to look into, as advised please create a support ticket for each order so you will be assisted

Straightforward

Did what they said they would and good value
15/01/20 by Paul
Picked up when they said and got my package there when they said they would. Much cheaper than Ebay postage

Very efficient and the best price

Only got 2 stars because it got to its destination. Otherwise it would of been a 1 star! The parcel was recieved torn open! Somebody has torn the box open and my family had to recieve the parcel looking like a dog had been eating it and tore through the box. How nothing inside wasnt damaged I will never know. It was books inside. So lucky no water or rain touched them.

Usually I have no drama but my expected date of delivery 14/1/202 has past. There has been no update on its status via tracking since arriving at the local depot on the 12/1/2020. Using PM tracking link sent me to DPD tracking. My parcel status has gone from Expected delivery day Tuesday to no status at all. Not really impressed.
15/01/20 by Brad
So quick an efficient! Really easy to use. Simple and straightforward. Would highly recommend.
Would prefer a more specific collection time. As waiting in all day is a bit of a tie. However in general very happy with the service
15/01/20 by Customer
Very professional service... only niggle was that I would have appreciated an indication of collection time rather than having to wait in until the driver turned up.

I send a parcel on the 1st of January through their "etrak" service which promises end-to-end tracking and an 8-10 day delivery target. After collection on the 3rd, the tracking never updated and all Parcel Monkeys support could tell me was the parcel was delivered to the etrak depot and vague promises that never materialised about further information. Every interaction started with "well your parcel was delivered", followed by "its with etrak". Whilst they have until the 17th to actually deliver the parcel, Ive paid for a tracked service and not received it.

I went to the post office to send a parcel to a friend in California, the post office quoted me £70 to use parcelforce international but usung parcel monkey it cost me £28 to send that same item. Its quick and easy to use, the information is clear and it finds you the best rate!

Parcel Monkey service was fine. Gave me the info I needed, link to track my parcel, nothing was over-complicated. Shame the actually delivery service was poor.
14/01/20 by Customer
Great service and always use to get the best delivery service available with easy navigation
14/01/20 by Rod Newman
They collected my parcel on time as detailed in there E Mail to me This is the first time I have used them and would not. Hesitate to use them again.

Delivery bang on time
14/01/20 by Philip Scott
Good service - a bit time consuming to complete the paperwork but that was driven by the importing country. The service found performed well.

Excellent comparison website, labels by email fast and worked perfect. no bother with the couriers, and easy access to tracking from the dashboard.

Efficient, easy to use, offered great prices and clear comparisons

Its is very good

Parcel Monkey worked well. I couldnt use Hermes directly (apparently it is too long ago since I last used them, and now I would have to register a new account, using a second email address). I think it was a little cheaper than using Hermes directly too.
My only doubt is that if something went wrong, how easy would it be to contact a person........
14/01/20 by Neil Ruddick
I wrote ok so why should I have to write more?? You wont get another review from me, arrogant so and sos..

Super quick and super easy

Absolutely rubbish service, Parcel Force took 5 days to collect! It was supposed to be next day collection! Very poor attempt by Parcel Force, I wasted 2 days waiting in.
14/01/20 by Customer
Parcelforce looked to be what I wanted. However, their tracking system was awful. Parcel left UK and took 3 days to arrive in Spain. Suspect system was just not being updated in Spain, but a weekend of worry.
