I arranged a next day pick-up through Parcel Monkey with Courier ... it took THREE days before the parcel was collected and there was no contact number available to speak about the problem. Courier sent me an email to track the parcel that hadnt been collected. So we werent best pleased with the service :-(

The company only interacts with Parcelforce via Emails. Therefore any issues you get via Parcelforce are dealt with in a very lack lustre way. For what its worth, its probably best paying Parcelforce the extra pennies so you can deal with the problems regarding your package directly.

The delivery was collected on time and arrived at the destination early the next morning. Cannot fault the service.

Collected when specified, parcel easily tracked, delivered on time and at about one third the cost of other couriers. Will definately use again

Parcelmonkey is the cheapest Postal service I have found. They are very reliable and had my parcel in Australia within a week. I wont use anyone else for the speed and price of shipping overseas.

Great value for money and service - my pickup was a little later than I was expecting but the delivery was received quicker than I was expecting so I was totally satisfied.

Ordered a next day collection and delivery 29th May. The DX Freight delivery driver arrived 30th May but couldnt pick them up as they needed a 2 man van. My partner ,who had taken day off work could not help lift them. We were told we would be called for re collection/delivery. We were not called. Numerous messages to Parcel Monkey help agents and the re collection was booked for 4th June. I also got a call from someone at DX saying they dont do two person vans and I had to help the guy lift the packages ....why is the service being offered for heavy goods if they cant handle them? The tracking number has never worked and after numerous messages to numerous parcel monkey help agents the package has been delivered on 12th June. Not that the Parcel Monkey agents were aware of this. I have tried to claim a refund but the refund form i have been sent is not relevant as it is for a missing item. Now the Parcel Monkey agents are not responding to me. A really disappointing experience.

It took DHL four days to come to the house to collect the parcel

DO NOT USE !!! Charged me twice, still awaiting a refund after almost a month, no confirmation Im going to get this, which is almost £50!! You cant get in touch with anyone and their online chat facility is awful!! No one gets back in touch, I have been waiting approx. 1 week between responses!!! and the responses are by multiple people, clearly no ownership taken when dealing with customers. I cant tell you enough how much to avoid!!

Useless. Ordered for a next day service on a wednesday, parcel was supposed to be delivered on Friday. It never arrived, no calling card left. Delivery was re-arranged to be collected from a pick up shop on the Sunday. It never arrived, was told to pick it up on the Monday after 10am. Its after 10am and no parcel. Customer service was of no help and just kept repeating the same incorrect information. That the parcel was ready and providing a link to a "pick up pass" that was not there. Customer service refused to listen to any of my concerns. Avoid like the plague.

Turned up as promissed all OK

In case of a missed collection, they should make it easier for people to set up a new collection date. I only found how to do that by mistake...
Other than that the service was fine.

For every other courier service we have ever used, an undelivered item will be held somewhere for the recipient to pick up or dropped with a neighbour. Parcel Monkey took a Sevenoaks-London item to Southampton and expected us to pay for it to be returned/redelivered or for us to drive 100 miles to pick it up! Terrible service.

Quick, inexpensive, easy to track.

Fantastic communication, fast and efficient.

Been let down, probably by Courier (not for the first time) but Parcel Moneys attitude is very poor. No refund or compensation offered. Need to wait for the best part of a week for a refund when canceled. Easily avoided if they would just let you know whats happening but the service is great when it works, non-existent when something goes wrong!

Fantastic service- fast and reliable.

Excellent service.
Reliable.
Good prices.
23/06/19 by Ian Atherton
The website was very easy to use, and prices were competitive. I was notified of the time slot my parcel would be picked up, and tracking was provided. The company I chose claimed my parcel would arrive in 48 hrs, when in fact it arrived after 72 hrs. But on the whole, the process was great.

Every time, without fail, the parcels have arrived here in Greece from the UK within 4 days. Fantastic service, we cant recommend them highly enough!
