Booked a Courier collection through Parcel Monkey for a Friday. Everything confirmed, yet no one turned up! Upon contacting Parcel Monkey they advised the parcel could be collected up to 6pm. 5:55pm and still nothing. They said they couldn’t get in touch with Courier and that they would reschedule my collection to Monday?! Asked for it just to be cancelled as I couldn’t afford anymore delays. Monday morning - text and email received from Courier saying they’d be over to another courier...nobody showed up. Tuesday morning - text and email received from Courier saying they’d be over to another courier. At 1:45pm I get a call from the Courier driver to say he’s at my house! So Parcel Monkey didn’t actually cancel it! Useless service!

The worst service ever by a courier/agent. Avoid at all cost. I booked 24hr express delivery with DPD on their website. My parcel arrived after a week and the process of chasing it up is a pain. Parcel hero is much better or stick to royal mail. Never using your services again!

parcel lost, the same reply from last 2 months, really bad customer service, they need to check their past reply, every time I ask them for parcel and they gave me the same reply, "we will get back soon", this is only replied I get and they do nothing from last 2 months, stay away from this company

I use DPD booked through Parcel Monkey to send to Spain. Every delivery has been made on time, never had a problem, unlike with previous couriers. They pick up when they say they will, great tracking, totally reliable service.

booked a parcel for 24 hour delivery- six days later- after several days talking to their customer service parcel still not collected and now five days to wait for a refund - no phone contact available- no manager available to take problem higher up- they tell you to wait until 6pm to see if parcel is collected and then guess what they are shut at 6pm so you cant talk to customer service until the next day AVOID USING PARCEL MONKEY

Very competitive price, really easy to book and reliable service. Used twice now for very awkward packages and had great experience. Definitely using again.

I will don’t use the PARCEL MONKEY never again! I send a laptop to other country but because the laptop was in LIST they didn’t send it! Until here was my mistake because I didn’t attended the list. But I dropped the laptop in a collection point in Monday morning I paid £73.06 to send it and they inform me in Thursday that is not possible to send it with this service. Then charge me £27 to return it back to my address and then they refund me £28 of 73.06 that I paid. IN THIS COMPANY THERE IS NO ONE TO SPEAK IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH YOUR DELIVERY. You can to text message and answer you after one - two days. So I think this is the most ridiculous company that I ever use. I WILL DON’T USE PARCEL MONKEY NEVER EVER AGAIN.

Collection was to be between 8am -6 pm. I sent a message confirming my address and if it was definitely being collected was assured it was. This didn’t happen am waiting for a reply after two messages being sent. Terrible service should pay people back for waiting in all day for NOTHING Should have knew this was a **** company,I had just booked the collection and got an email telling me my parcel was in Southampton!

I give Parcel Monkey 5 stars. They always pick up my parcel on the time and date that they sent me, In addition my parcel always arrived on the date that they told me. I have uses Parcel Monkey for the past eight years. Sending parcels to my family not only in the U.K. But also to my family and friends in France and Australia.

Appalling experience. Parcel was misdelivered three times, even though the address was a Collection point. Now I have the choice between destroying it, or paying twice the original delivery cost to get it sent back to me, where I will have to pay to get it redelivered (obviously this time using a different service). Any attempt to get into contact just puts you through to ineffectual, poorly scripted and asinine web chat. Astonished that I have to pay for someone elses mistake.

Website was great easy to use. Parcel force on the other hand was a joke......

Failed to collect parcel for one week (so far) shambolic.

Parcel delivered on time and on good condition so great for me and recipients.

As a small independent business owner, a courier is effectively an extension of my business. I spend £££ buying and paying to store boxes, bubble wrap, polystyrene, air bags and brown tape with tons of ‘FRAGILE’ wrap and then spend hours wrapping items to account for carefree handlers or those on such a tight timeline that their attitude to every parcel is chuck and drop. What happens to these parcels en route if they arrive to my customer snapped or broken? Twice this happened in the same week. Refunds/replacements, disgruntled customers who are inconvenienced, unlikely to return to purchase again, time spent emailing over matters out of my hands I have entrusted to you. YOU do this to my business. It borders on sabotage and you seem to have pipped airport baggage handlers for having a bad rep #thumbsdown

Absolutely shocking I guess it’s all fine if it goes to plan but if you miss a collection and want to speak to someone....forget it!
