The Parcel wasnt picked up on the day specified. When I rang UK Mail they said they had been to collect and hour earlier than the allocated time slot. I was in (but didnt hear them) and they left no calling card (did they come?). UK Mail requested an urgent pick up before 8pm. They didnt arrive. All in all, I waited in from 2.30pm-8pm. The UK Mail phone helpline was nice and helpful... but didnt help. They arrived the following morning (more time off work) and then the service went smoothly.

No trcaking info available. Note received that parcel had been delivered to my UK address instead of my Bahrain adress before it was actually delivered to Bahrain. Marks out of ten on this one would be 0. Luckily parcel arrived in Bahrain. If it hadnt, I would have been devistated. You noreally do a great job. Not sure what happened this time. Will have to think carefully if Im going to choose DPS for my next parcEl. À

Straight forward to use.

Great for straightforward UK deliveries, but anything out of the ordinary or out of the UK is difficult. Customer service is tedious with different people involved each time you contact. It is not OK just to refund the cost of a delivery when it goes wrong, somewhere is a disgruntled customer still waiting for a delivery.

Picked up correctly on the day, but still hasnt arrived after 7 days!

easy to fill out form to book a delivery/collection, reasonable price, easy to track, quick email responses/communication, good for international delivery/couriers, parcel arrived exactly when it was dated to

Very good. was the easiest way I could find to send a consignment of parcels rather than individually.

They failed to deliver my parcel from portugal to UK. They mentioned that it was damaged by DPD. But it was damaged between my UK address (because I wasnt home) and the depot. Also, DPD did not try to deliver the parcel again. Now, Parcel Monkey decided not to give compensation. Please dont use them!!!! You lost yout money, your parcel, and even your compensation!

Parcel monkey has the best of both worlds - some of the cheapest courier prices you can find online whilst also having a system that is very efficient and easy to use.

Quick and easy to use. A1.

The worst company. They claim my postal address given is not valid, even though it is a perfect address. They dont respond properly to complaints and are totally useless. Do not use this company- go direct with a reputable courier. I have tried 4 times to give the address and each time they cannot deliver. Forget them.

Great service once again.

Some confusion over labelling when the courier came to collect the parcel . Website said that one wasnt needed but the courier said he needed a bar code to scan. Maybe he was confused about what was needed. Anyway, I printed off the destination info and checked the next day to see if the parcel had arrived but it hadnt. It arrived the following day (I paid for a 24 hr service) and I could see online the signature of the person who received the parcel. It was a fragile item so I paid extra for insurance to cover the cost but thankfully it arrived intact. The price was very reasonable compared to going directly to the courier whose price was cheaper but the insurance to cover the item was much more expensive so I was happy to save some money. This is the second time Ive used Parcel Monkey and will definitely be using them again if needed.

I have used Parcel Monkey for over a year now and the website is great and easy to order a parcel delivery and that is the only reason Parcel Monkey gets 2 stars if it was purely based on Customer Service/Help and Support/Live Chat, the rating would be ‘0’. I have used Live Chat on a couple of occasions now and the level of service is appalling. On both occasions it took over 2 hours and even found myself logging on to a live chat on another device to see if I could speed things up. It would appear that they are dealing with lots of queries all at the same time but can’t prove this but I waited for 15 mins or more between responses. I asked to ‘live chat’ with a manager and they asked me to wait and then after over half an hour they said the Manager wasn’t available and if I had a complaint they had a procedure to follow and gave me a link. Utterly appalled by the service.

Always turn to parcel monkey when I have a large parcel to send.
Quick, easy , efficient with up to date tracking.

I have booked with Parcel Monkey before but it always has been with DPD. THis time I tried ParcelForce and I must admit the service was excellent. The driver was patient and even dropped off my parcel at my door in the apartment building. In the case of DPD the driver was always impatient.

fast and easy

My Parcel was not collected when arranged and I had to get in touch with them to rearrange it. This in itsself is not easy as there does not seem to be a way to speak to anyone there other than email or live chat if available.

Another good service from a good company who have a good website and easy to use. Collection on time delivered within timescales. Would be nice to know which parcel we were reviewing as send so many.
11/06/18 by Adam Leonard
Absolutely no communication, parcel was scheduled for pickup on a Monday. We had it all ready for collection and waited as it was important we had it delivered next day. The whole day went by and nothing. I emailed customer services who failed to even respond. It was picked up the next day but it was lucky some one was there to hand it over as there was no notice to tell us someone was coming on the Tuesday. Not good at all.
