Delivery was late and had to pay double the amount for the customs even though it was a Christmas gift for family and items were clearly diclaired . Not happy with the service !

Awful service - package still not delivered and gone beyond advertised 3-5 days. Was essential time-critical ... worse still they don’t even know who they’re overseas delivery partners and so can’t help track urgent parcel. Truly a joke outfit - avoid like the plague!!

Waited in from 8-6 for a large parcel to be collected and it wasn’t. When I contacted the company to complain I was told that ‘sometimes delivery drivers run out of time to collect a parcel or forget’ and was offered re-collection for the next Day. When I asked if they could guarantee me if would be collected the next day I was told that I was ‘assured by not guaranteed’ that the parcel would be collected. In my experience this is a completely unacceptable level of service from a courier company. Next time I will order directly through parcelforce who would only have been a few pounds more expensive and I assume show more responsibility toward their customers.

Parcel Monkey is a great service!

for all those who would ever entrust their items to this company I can only tell you that they do their job in a non-honest way as there is the possibility that you rob your assets and more will completely ignore you not having a customer service. Any other company will certainly perform the service better.

Excellent Service and very easy to use website. Used Parcelforce via Parcel Monkey and the quote was actually cheaper than using Parcelforce website. 10/10

Please dont use. Company do nothing to resolve my case. I sent parcells via Parcel Monkey using DPD. DPD have lost 2 out of 3 parcels. DPD is willing to help me out finding missing parcels but Parcel Monkey has to request this first (as I am their client not DPDs ). I have been told several times that they did chase up my case- turns out- no one from Parcel Monkey contacted DPD. Parcel Monkey cant produce the case number. DPD has said that if they did contact them they would get a case number. Highly unprofessional company, no responsibility, employing kids minded people( including management ). They take money and if your parcel get to the destination then- great, huge problem if collecting/delivering company loose it. Dont count on the Parcel Monkey, you are on your own. Please avoid

The Parcel Monkey collectors machine couldnt recognise the recipients address in Ireland, which created some doubt in our mind that the important package would actually get there. As it happens, the package arrived on time, so all was good

Received a wrong parcel at the beginning of November and it is now mid January and despite contacting you twice a week nothing has been done no one has collected this very heavy item which we can not lift and is now still in the middle of a 96 year olds studio flat and so far no one has made any efforts as far as i can see to find our parcel or offer compensation.

The Delivery Service I requested wasnt clear as to exactly what it was. We needed a parcel to go to Belfast within 48 hours and I think it was Parcelforce 48 which I selected. It said U.K delivery but there was no mention of whether this was only mainland U.K or whether Northern Ireland was included. So I had to take a chance but we later found out that it didnt reach our Customer until 5 days later and this caused them problems.

The service is ok but when it goes wrong, ie. the parcel goes missing they take no action to help. I have spent over 5 days trying to contact Parcel Force directly as Parcel monkey would not help or listen to any evidence of the parcel being sent. Poor customer service and poor service. I wont be using their service again.

All you want from a courier company is that your stuff gets there on time without being smashed and thats what Parcel monkey did.

We use Parcel Moneky for most larger items we post - great value and service

The parcel was picked up as expected. The item was a guitar, when it was received by the customer it arrived with a broken neck. This item clearly was not looked after in transit.

Easy to set up. But now getting problems with cusstoms and parcel monkeys documentation is not good enough. I need a TR01 which they did not make me aware of. I am now trying to sort this

Collection of the parcel was missed by DPD DPD lied about carding the house and no one being in Parcel monkey did not care about this Parcel monkey re-booked collection with me, but forgot to tell DPD I had to chase DPD and Parcel monkey to actually have the collection made. In the end: collection was a day late. I had to chase up to make the bookings and made about 6 calls to DPD to ensure it happened interaction with parcel monkey was awful. Parcel monkey dont care AVOID THIS COMPANY

Sent 2 Boxes for next day delivery, the Boxes contained bedding needed for elderly customers, Boxes arrived 3 days late . Customer had to purchase new bedding at my company’s cost

Booked a collection from a third party, delivered to my address. Selected Parcelforce as the courier, and paid approx. a third the cost compared to booking directly through their own web site.
My only reservation was that theres no Parcel Monkey contact phone number and other reviewers said they didnt respond to emails. However , I had Parcel force reference and tracking numbers, and they have all manner of customer support, so if any problems had occurred, I guess, I could have contacted them directly.
The parcel arrived intact and earlier than expected. The whole process couldnt have been simpler or smoother. I wouldnt hesitate to use them again.
