If your parcel gets delivered then great. If it doesnt, then expect NO help from parcel monkey. All you get is we are chasing with the courier, and youll be ignored for a few days. Then you have to remind them and you get yes we are still chasing. This is not the only shipment I have had issues with. I now have zero trust in parcel monkey and will never ever use them again to send a parcel.

Youve redeemed yourself! Last time I ordered a Parcelforce courier via Parcel Monkey, the courier didnt turn up. However, this time all went to plan and the service worked perfectly.

Excellent experience. Used DHL next day service at a very reasonable price.

Went like a dream. Needed a courier for E Bay purchase. I did not want to bother the Distant seller with having to print a label so chose Parcel Force who s driver provides a label. Their direct quote was around £60. Booked them through Parcel Monkey and got it for about £11.
Next day pick up and next day delivery. No problem whatsoever. Did not use other couriers as their customer service is almost non existence. Parcel Force answered the phone quickly and were very helpful.
Would use again

Brilliant service. Very quick and good prices as well. Highly recommended!

Absolutely shocking service. Delayed delivery of the item by 11 days, it arrived damaged, then had to fight for a refund and compensation of the item value. They kept asking me for evidence which I had already issued and took 5 days to reply to all correspondence via email!

Used ParcelMonkey a few times to send large parcels to family in Italy. Very reasonably priced, excellent communication and parcel has always arrived within the specified time. 3 - 5 working days from the UK to Italy. The only one problem (i’d Put the address wrong) was sorted easily.

Never had a problem, always a great service.
Thank you.

Our package was delivered on time so from that point of view no complaints. They were also the cheapest option I could find. May be worth trying to establish if you will be charged duty/tax for importing goods. Whilst this is not something in parcel monkeys control I felt they could have called this out more. We were charged £120 tax on top of postage to receive the parcel. (2 suits) Although they offer “live chat” I would have preferred to talk to someone on the phone however I was unable to find a number to reach them.

The Best Parcel Service

Easy site to use. Very prompt attention. Label is emailed, print it off, and parcel is ready to be collected. Your txt a time for pick up, and they stick to it. Then you get a email to say its been delivered. Great.

Excellent service. Parcel collected and delivered according to timescale. A lot less expensive than using parcelforce directly including contents insurance.

Have always booked with their Parcelforce courier and had gear service.

5 days from sending from UK to receiving in Canada (customs cleared) - no problems - excellent service.
10/02/19 by Sunny Jim
Parcel I sent went missing for nearly a week then eventually ended up back at my address with no explanation! No tracking was provided throughout, I kept having to chase them and they kept fobbing me off until I said I was going to make a claim. Absolutely terrible service, poor communication, a complete waste of time and no refund so a waste of £64!

I always use parcel monkey to get the best value international deliveries. I have sent parcels all over the world with them , and never had a problem

I’ve choosen to pay the Parcelforce 48hours service, booked it on a Friday but ended up receiving parcel the following Friday. Lack of communication. I had to cancel my hospital appointment just to wait for them. They don’t give you timeframe when they are coming. Not going to use their service again.

No problems . However , would have preferred a time slot . Not everyone is able to stay st home all day waiting for collection. Large heavy item therefore only had option of collection .

Bad. I set my collection address in spain for two parcels. One of them came and the other one, never arrived and they sent it to my uk address but they notified nothing about this to me. I even don’t know why they didnt bring it to spain one of the those two I sent with them

Superb website. Super quick search and price quotations, easy to use. Been using it since 2013

very professional

Excellent Service. I hardly ever use couriers so did not know how to arrange one. Tried looking at a number of well known couriers which seemed expensive. Tried Parcel Monkey and using simple details such as size, weight and delivery within united kingdom, obtained excellent cheap quotes.
Will use again without any hesitation.
