The staff in Bangkok did not contact the recipient or do door to door delivery. The recipient had to contact them and go to collect the parcel and pay custom clearance at Bangkok EMS centre although it is a used and old product. Expensive!!
Very good service on London side.

Parcel delayed for almost 4 weeks. I constantly asking for a claim form to submit, they never reply on my request. I have paid few pounds more to book through parcel monkey but it is a joke their service. Better book directly through the couriers website, cheaper and they are much more informed. I still didnt get any reply regarding compensation.

Great service
Posted from Scotland to daughter in Oslo who was out at work at time of delivery. Parcel Monkey emailed her and told her it was at her local post office for collection and in turn she collected parcel on way home from work, excellent service!
Delighted and will always in future use Parcel Monkey,thank you!

Where do I start? Excuse the grammar and the overuse of the! Booked a next day collection. (Day 1), no collection!, no big problem so told Parcel monkey the following morning (Day 2), response from parcel monkey sorry! (They say that a lot) well pick up the following day. Courier turns up in the afternoon and collects parcel. Day 3 another courier turns up for the parcel that had been picked up the day before! Parcel monkey then tells me they havent collected my parcel!!! Day 14 from collection parcel still not delivered so i chase up parcel monkey, one of the responses that day was "please can you describe my goods" 16 days later from order and many many messages later, nobody (you have to deal with lots of different people!) can tell me if the parcel is where the parcel is. Parcel monkey still blaming courier and apologies! Also asked for standard T&C’ s, when we starting taking about claims and parcel monkey liability. All of which hasn’t been answered. But dont worry i found them on line Just dont use them, go direct to courier or take the parcel yourself, I could of walked the parcel there myself quicker!!!!!!!! Seriously it was only going from south wales to Cornwall on a next day service

We have been using parcel monkey for parcels to Spain for the last 3 years . Excellent deliveries and great customer service .. thank you

I was charged an additional £9.79 because the courier said they weighed my parcel at 9.5kg instead of the 5.5kg I declared. This was either a mistake or a blatant lie, as I had sent identical parcels before - via the Post Office - with no issues whatsoever. Parcelmonkey kept insisting they needed "photographic proof that I had declared the correct dimensions" before they could dispute the charge with the courier, but who takes a picture of their parcel on the scales? And how could I prove it was the same parcel anyway? On the other hand, I was never provided with any evidence of my parcel being weighed at 9.5kg, so it looks like the courier can say whatever they want and Parcelmonkey side with them. Furthermore, one of my items was totally smashed to bits during transit, adding insult to injury. Next time Ill go back to using the Post Office.

I do not suggest using this service if you have a job they give you a time window of 8-6 pm with no exact timing. When they finally collected my package and gave the shipper the receipt they claim that it hasnt been collected . I have ordered this package a werk and a half ago and I am still without my package with all my belongings . I did my research and was surprised there are so many great comments here because I did not have the same experience. Perhaps they work far better in the UK. Extremely dissapointed parcel monkey

These “monkeys” overcharged me for a parcel I sent. They are just a bunch of crooks and thieves. Basically they ask you to provide measures and weight for the parcel then quote you and charge you for that. I measured and weighted the parcel precisely, using metering tape and a scale. After delivering the parcel they came back saying that the “volumetric weight” was wrong and charged me an extra £15. Basically, the actual weight doesn t matter, they estimate it by volume which makes no sense - not everything weights the same. They blamed Parcelforce - the courier I used - and said that without proof of weight there was nothing they could do. Avoid these “monkeys” as the pest. I know for a fact I won t be using them again. Cheers Adrian
