Easy and quick

Scam. sent 4 parcels with them via Parcelforce. x1 was damaged x1 arrived 2 weeks late after paying for 24hr delivery and x2 were never delivered at all. then charged me £58 without telling me before hand because one of the parcels was overweight then never delivered it! Now ignoring my claims because I refuse to pay the extra £58 for a parcel they never delivered. Absolutely disgusting and I will be taking this further to the claims court as all my parcels were fully insured

Horrendous company. Dont make clear that certain items can only be sent via Courier, so DPD sent it to return to sender which is for some reason their office in the South although my address was on the label, so for me to get my items back it now cost me an additional £16 plus the cost of the initial postage. Then when you try to communicate with them all you get in its in the T&Cs. Horrible Horrible Horrible! Stay away from them at all costs, because frankly, it would have been cheaper to have the item manufactured again than use these monkeys.

Absolutely disgusting company and customer service. Not only did they lose my parcels but they then stole £160 from my bank account for the parcels being ‘over weight’. Now they are ignoring my claim for compensation for the lost parcels. AVOID THIS SCAM OF A COMPANY!

Terrific service. Use DPD aka Parcel2Go and they managed to damage a very valuable old computer I had sold to a friend who was less then impressed. Since then I have gone with either the Parcel Monkey site and selected one of their carriers or gone for DHL who are always on their list. I have never been let down since the DPD experience. Thank you.

I have found the service excellent but it could be improved by sending the dispatch address an e-mail confirming when my parcel arrived at my customers address. This will save me logging on to Parcel Money to check.

ParcelMonkey was recommended to me. I found it very easy to search and select a courier for the large package I needed to ship. Courier delivered package as expected. I will definitely use ParcelMonkey again.

Got to be the worst company I’ve ever encountered,you won’t save money in the long run as they will steal money from your bank account and lose your parcels,then they will stop answering you

Parcel sent to Australia mid October. Delivery could not be made at the first attempt although no card was left to notify the recipient. Chased several times since to provide contact details and arrange redelivery but very little done to ensure the parcel is delivered. More than 3 weeks later and I still have no updates and a birthday present has not been received. Extremely disappointing and very poor service.

Im STILL waiting for my parcel to arrive! Its a week after it was meant to be delivered. I needed this parcel for an important project and it has left me quite stranded. I just want my item to be delivered ANYWHERE I can get it back now. To where it was suppose to go or back to me.

Goood service!

I was forced to send an international parcel via courier because Royal Mail, whilst great on this side of the Atlantic, hands over to the USPS on the other side who are incompetent beyond mortal understanding. I havent had this parcel collected yet but the process on Parcel Monkeys site is a joke, especially regarding the customs documentation. After youve ordered and paid it tells you that you must attach customs docs using a transparent pouch. Yeah, that would have been helpful to know BEFORE ordering. Then, the labels are presented as A4. They are not resizeable and the customs one isnt even a PDF, its just HTML text. Really helpful when your parcel is smaller than A6. And they knew my parcel size because I entered the dimensions, and nowhere did it warn me. The customs documents are entitled Proforma Invoice instead of Customs Details. What the..!? The origin of the products was incorrectly reported on the customs documentation, even though Id entered it correctly. Underneath the documentation it says, "Made a mistake? Delete this form & start again." Well, *I* hadnt made a mistake but I thought Id try again, so I clicked the link, only to be told. "Customs documents are electronically sent for this service and so cannot be edited." Pathetic. And if theyre electronically sent how come Im wasting my time going to the Post Office, getting a transparent pouch, cutting it to size and cramming into it the A4 Proforma Inv... sorry, I mean Customs Details form!? And then theres the compensation. According to the site, collectable cards (which are basically playing cards) must be sent entirely at the senders risk and are subject to no compensation. This is absurd. I dont know whether this is DPD or PM but it has no basis in law and entirely illogical. Anyhow, you acknowledge this, only to be asked repeatedly how much the cards are worth, both in bulk and individually, and how much compensation you need! Did anybody bother to test this site before they rolled it out to the public? As I say, the parcel hasnt even been collected yet but as this service cant be rated lower than one * I might as well publish it now.

I am far from happy with this service. Paid for an item to be shipped to Saudi. And it’s being returned as prohibited. It was not on prohibited items list. How can a bank letter be prohibited. Waste of money time and effort. You shouldn’t be offering a service if you can’t deliver.

The parcel hasn’t been delivered to the address even though it appears like it was.

Three large boxes arrived safely in Portugal within 6 days. Excellent service as usual.

Please dont use this service. I had send a package via DPD through ParcelMonkey. The package never arrived as it aparently was damaged. I was never notified about this and not until the receiver was asking about the package we noticed it was stuck with DPD. For several weeks now ParcelMonkey has been unable to explain to me, (1) why I was not notified about the package being damaged. (2) Where the package currently is (3) Send the package and content to the receiver for damage inspection. The customer service is really bad. Wetaher the error is on DPD, Parcel Monkey should handle this and inform me abaout what is going on. I will never use DPD or Parcel Monkey again!
