Genuinely terrible, first and last time I use Parcel monkey. Sent a parcel tracked, no idea where it went, no tracking information available, no telephone number to contact parcel monkey and useless customer service via chat who don’t bother to answer your queries. Take my advice, it’s worth paying extra to a reputable courier that will deliver your parcel safely. DO NOT USE

Great service, the whole process went sweet as a nut. Picked up a large heavy package on time, and delivered it 300 miles away the next day, all for under a tenner.

Absolutely hopeless service! Payed extra for next day delivery as it was an important part, wasnt even picked up the next day so took a extra day to arrive! First time using parcel monkey and most defiantly my last!

Do not use this company, they loose your parcel and even though we paid extra for insurance they are not paying us back this is been going on for months now they just fob us off with different questions

Please avoid using parcel monkey.i paid for next day delivery with DX couriers, firstly it wasnt collected and then when it was rearranged and collected on the 9th December it was then lost and never reached its next destination, now on the 16th January I still have no parcel the item never arrived and it was a value of £258. after a long process back and forwards with parcel monkey,I was sent a claims form for my lost items which I filled in a sent back,from then on they flat out ignored every single message I have sent them and its been a week now. I have messaged them every day about my case and since I returned my claims for I was messaged to say a update will follow shortly and since then I have been ignored. theres no phone number to ring and every time you message them its a different response I have spoken to 10 different people regarding a simple lost parcel. basically all the good reviews this company has are based on the good service the couriers provided, if you look at the reviews which they control which are complaints and costumer service, they have no skill in any of these departments and if anything should happen to your parcel and it doesnt arrive you may aswell forget speaking to parcel money and get straight onto the original courier the service seems convenient but its definitely not if something goes wrong with your delivery you may aswell forget your money and get ready for a long process to try and aquire it or even get a response from parcel monkey. Parcel monkeys response time is hourly however since I had returned my claims form I have been ignored now for 6 days without a single reply. considering you cannot ring or call anyone and its just a online service with a messenger type set up via there account if they chose not to reply to you theres not much I can do except waste more time and effort to complain about parcel money and try and retrieve my money. save yourself the hassel for the sake of five mins and just ring the courier direct.

Great service thanks

Dreadful experience. My next day delivery took 21 days to arrive and when it did arrive, it was broken. Still waiting for an apology/acknowledgement regarding this horrendous service. Sometimes when things seem too cheap, theres usually a reason.

paid for delivery to Eskirsehir in Turkey , got delivered Instanbul week later ,, and thats where it stayed until it was returned back to me after a futher 2 weeks , it was , down for collection , why , i do not know , and the travelling time between the 2 cities is about 6 hours , oh and and for good measure also pay about £40+ for duty,s which was not advised on,, i,ve sent Parcel Monkey a lot of messages , but keep coming back with nothing ,, they are not bothered , they took the money and ran , basically wash their hands of it , 1 star rating is too much , give them a wide birth ,,

My first time to use and it all worked as claimed. I will have them collect the parcel as well as it needs to come back to me after the service and will update after that. Good service.

My parcel didn’t make it to the destination I’ve send loads of items through them to the same address and they managed to get there before why not this time . And because they couldn’t find address I had to pay for them to return it to me cherk

Inexpensive and accurate. Like Ronseal - does exactly what it says on the tin. Good service - goods delivered sooner than quoted.
I will be using the Monkeys going forward!

If I could leave less than one star I would. I sent a parcel to Canada using Parcel Monkey (via DPD) from the UK and almost THREE MONTHS later its still not arrived. DPD tell me PM did not forward ANY delivery details nor contact information on their system. Parcel Monkey tell me the ONLY way for an investigation to take place is for me to write a physical letter to them including (and I kid you not) a photocopy of the recipients photo ID (why thats relevant I have no idea) so she would have to send that to me from Canada to the UK then I would have to physically send a letter to PM who will then send it to DPD (who "apparently" will only proceed if I send this letter) All I want is for my parcel to be delivered which I have paid them to do. Instead Im left jumping through RIDICULOUS hoops in order to get anywhere. They dont care about their customers in the slightest. All I want to know is where my parcel is and when it can ACTUALLY be delivered instead theyre covering themselves by making me perform *****ic tasks - funnily enough the recipient IS NOT happy to send copies of her photo ID to a company who has NO NEED to see it. Happy to take your money but when they make a mistake its YOU who has to fix the problem. Absolute joke.

Excellent service with clear instructions and great support.

Very easy to use! Only problem I had was that I didnt have an email address for the recipient of my parcel so included my own. This wasnt a problem but being that my parcel was going to Germany and I dont speak German, I had to use a translator to understand what the email was saying to me. Thankfully it was positive news and not reporting any problems incurred but I think there should be an option to say that there is no recipient email address.

Amazing pickup and delivery service. On time, fast, reliable and package arrived in good conditions. Will surely use again.

I booked parcel force services under parcel monkey and my parcel was damaged during transit. It was insured for upto £60 and I filled in all the paperwork and send picture of the damages. Parcel monkey have since refused to contact me about the outcome of this case and have ignored me on 3 occasions. Highly recommend you avoid parcel monkey because they wont help you when s@@t hits the fan.
