As a redistributor it’s not a bad service. Only downside is the tracker is behind the main couriers tracker by a few hours. If you want to use it as a comparison site with direct links to couriers then it does what it sets out to do. Saves a lot of web time searching.

They blamed the courier the courier blamed them then I was forced to pay a cancelation fee for a service I did not receive in the first place. Absolutely disgusted

Rude and ignorant. They asked me for a Google map reference to deliver a parcel even though it was in a normal road and they had the customers phone number and email. Very slow to respond to me and most unhelpful. A courier company who needs Google maps supplied before it can deliver a parcel is not one for the long run. Ridiculous, expensive and rude.

Excellent service! The parcel was extremely simple to book, hassle free, affordable and very quick. Collected on the requested day and arrived at the destination overseas a day early. Very impressed. Highly recommended.

My parcel got picked up and I kept getting messages that I was unavailable and should book another day for collection. Ive also only received one of my parcels although it said two days and they were collected a week ago.

Utterly useless, booked in good time for an urgent 24hr parcel, selected the most expensive service (Parcelforce) but no collection even attempted the next day. (We have a manned reception) Contacted "LIVE MONKEY" (says is all) and get the normal brush off and "Our service doesnt actually mean any timescales will be adhered too". Telephoned Parcelforce and they could not track any collection for us so seems they never even got the order from PARCELMONKEY for my collection. Whatever happens now the parcel will be late..

DONT BELIEVE THE PROMISES OF INSURANCE COVER. Just had a very bad experience where a parcel was damaged in transit. OK, it happens from time to time. I get that. Thats why I insure. However, when it comes to making a claim, talk about wriggle ! They could teach Neymar a thing or two !! It wasnt packed correctly (it was), the recipient didnt photograph the parcel (?), I didnt photograph the parcel (??) etc etc... Basically they sit as judge and jury so very good look to anyone needing to make a claim. Very bad service Parcelmonkey.

The interface and organisation of Parcel Monkeyare excellent. The fact that the chosen courier (DHL) does not ship internationally any items containing batteries when booked through Parcel Monkey (it does otherwise) surprised and disappointed me greatly. I hope to be reimbursed.

Good overall service. Tracking could have been more accurate. Couriers were polite and friendly. Unclear on website whether the parcels traveled during the weekend. Three day delivery paid for and parcel collected Friday but did not arrive until Wednesday (6 days).

This was my first time using parcel monkey and Id love to give them more than 5 stars! My parcel reached destination very quickly! Their price quote was cheapest in the market as well. I highly recommend it to anyone sending parcels. Id definitely be using it next time as well.

Sent a parcel weighing just under 4kg. A week after the parcel was delivered I received an email saying they weighed it and it was 16kg....? For this they charged my card another £40... When I tried to dispute it they said they couldnt help without a picture of the actual parcel. By this time the parcel was at the other side of the world and opened and discarded. This parcel was 4kg and they are trying to charge me for 16kg....? I now have to go to my credit card company to recover the charge which is completely incorrect.

I booked my parcel well in advance for Monday 2nd July. It was not picked up and no reason for not doing. I had to rebook after contacting courier service. I don’t find this acceptable. I received my parcel 2days later as promised for 48hr delivery service.

Posting the item was easy, clear instructions, but took six days to arrive at destination in France, not three as stated. Would use again.

Really easy service and no issues with the delivery.

Shipped 25 kg box from London to Wellington using parcelmonkey’s own air service. A third cheaper than any other company. Arrived safely by air freight in a week via reputable couriers (parcelforce, norsk and dhl). My only criticism is that because there were a number of carriers, the original tracking number only worked for the first leg and I had to ask for the international tracking number. Would have been 5 stars if the tracking system could have been more streamlined.

Hi Judith
Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate your feedback - we are looking to improve the tracking on this service to make it easier to follow your item to delivery.
Kind regards
