Very impresive and timely delivery, especially as it is festive period.

Paid for 24h delivery, took the parcel to the post office in plenty of time, track and trace proved it was collected in plenty of time, then it sat in the "Hub" and took a day to book in at the distribution depot, then another day before delivered, and I also paid insurance on the item. Contacted PM and was told to wait before raising a complaint.

We booked a parcel collection and Parcel Monkey gave this to DX. They failed to pick up yesterday and again today. Payment up front of course ! Lots of wasted time waiting for the courier to turn up and we still have not had our parcel collected. We recorded our dissatisfaction using the "chat" facility which is pretty useless - they just take a "not our fault gov" stance and blame their couriers and wont investigate why the service failure happened - Parcel Monkey are ok though, they have their money. If they had been more empathetic to our problem and actively done something about it we may have felt better but they didnt. We will never use them again and suggest other potential customers go elsewhere.

Bloody awful. I paid for 24hr service, got a 48 hr service and they hid behind T&Cs. If I wanted 48hr I was have booked it. Once the issue of non-delivery on the designated day was raised and a refund was requested, I was told: "I cant guarantee a refund as of the moment as the parcel has not been delivered yet. This will be accommodated later on." Once the parcel was delivered, the refund was refused due to alleged T&Cs. What an abhorrent excuse for customer service that operates in a wholly dishonest manner by implying youd get a refund, and then sticking two fingers up when you ask for one and telling you to basically sod off. This is not the published customer service ethos of the company, and the customer service thing claiming to be an Abigail M, you are a very devious and unpleasant lying individual.

I have submitted a damage claim filled in with appropriate paperwork on the 18th September and they haven’t got back to me when you click on claim it says it was submitted I wouldn’t use them for items that are fragile as they must throw them at each other you can’t talk to anyone there customer service is non existent a terrible company to deal with don’t use them is my suggestion.

Did exactly what it said on the box.
I sent a large parcel of gifts to Switzerland and the arrived via parcel force on time and in excellent condition - for half the price of the post office!
Highly recommended

Easy to use, fast and I can track the parcel on its way. Add to it a very competitive price if compared to other courier services, and you have a winner.

Put in the details of my parcel to be sent and got offered next day collection by Courier which I excepted. Next day has come and gone and the parcel is still with us. No message or phone call to explain why and when it is actually getting collected. Contacted Parcel monkey who informed me that the next available booking for collection is nearly a week away and informed us we will need to be on site for the courier between 7am and 6pm so we dont miss our collection. I was on site between 7am and 6pm the day the were meant to another courier in the first place. I know this time of year is busy for them but if you cannot provide a service then do not advertise it!! Now to wait around again but the driver better show up this time

Easy website to use but unfortunately their customer service is totally useless. They seem to be unable to offer any sort of assistance if something goes wrong with your delivery other than refer you to your tracking information even when it is obvious that it is not working properly. All they do is waste your time asking you for more information about your shipment, although all this information should be available to them from the moment you book your delivery. There will be a problem with 1 every 5 or 6 shipments. The frequency depends on which company you book you shipment with (Courier/UKmail and ParcelForce are better than the rest). Prepare to be frustrated an helpless on those occasions

21/12/18 by Ian Fenwick
Pathetic customer service, always promise to follow-up but never do. Parcel never delivered even after 1 month of dispatch. Moreover charged extra for incorrect weight which is extortion. No refunds/claims even after insuring the package.

collected on time and delivery was completed when promised

Have used Parcel Monkey several times to send large parcels to France, they offered a very good price for Parcelforce International. The parcels were collected on-time and arrived within 3 days, tracking worked fine. Very good, will use again.
