Very reasonable price and service not too bad. Collection didnt happen on the day booked and no communication received so re-booked for another day. Courier turned up the following day to collect which caused a few problems but sorted in the end. The parcel arrived a day earlier than expected but that was a bonus really. So all in all, a little bit of a hassle ,which better communication would have solved, but at the end of the day, alls well that ends well.

After receiving parcel sent me an email charging me over £50 on top of the £13. Reason being that the parcel weight was 10kg when the actual parcel weight was 3kg. Absolute con

my parcel is now stuck in the usa and has been for 3 days and despite calling the customer service team I cant find out what the problem is. Will not be using this service again !!

So you have an important item to send, perhaps valuable, no matter you expect to be able to book the courier, pay for it and be able to track it, right? Ok so this is how Parcel Monkey roll - book it, no problem, pay for it, no problem - collect the parcel, should be no problem but no they have to call you despite you knowing they will collect between 8am and 6pm on the day stated just to confirm when is good for you, but you only find that out when they call ! So 2 days wasted because they were trying to call me from a umber google didnt recognise ! And now 5 days after collection, can I track it? Nope no where, where is my parcel? Oh customer service - its one of those multi customer service desks so they take calls from a ton of other companies so dont expect a 100% focus on your issue.

Parcel picked up in UK very good - followed it on tracker - It told me it was now in Gibraltar and would be delivered - Told me it was delivered - only it was NOT delivered to me !!! It had gone back to the UK. I phoned up to see where my parcel was as it was not delivered here in Gib - The helpful lady told me it was delivered back to sender and could not tell me why and there would be a reason for the return printed on the parcel. I phoned the sender but no note came with it. He phone the UK office and they said they would phone him back. Then the delivery man returned and took the parcel away again and he had no idea why it was returned.

Extremely Poor service as they have lost my parcel and everyday they are keep saying it will deliver today but never delivered till now. They have also awful customer service because there is no support number and all you can do is online chat where you have to wait for hours. Please stay away from this and similar companies and pay even little bit more because its worth at.

Dreadful Quick enough to take my money !!! dreadful after that, no collection, then we are too busy to collect, then after numerous calls yes you guessed it NO COLLECTION which is what i paid for? 3 continuous days Think they should be rebranded Parcel Cheetah One person complains the other 9 just dont use you again

This company charge extra for items supposedly larger than the size stated when booking with them - it is hidden deep in their terms and conditions. When this is the case (for whatever reason - even if the main courier company have re-packaged due to damaging the original packaging) and a surcharge is made, the consumer is entirely within their rights to be given proof that the company making the surcharge has actually been charged more for the service. Parcel Monkey say that they cannot provide evidence that they have been overcharged as it is "not their policy". They have no proof and yet STILL take additional charges - nothing more than theft - justified, they say, by their terms and conditions which they seem to make up as they go along for their own benefit. AVOID THIS COMPANY - BOOK DIRECTLY WITH COURIERS!!!

First time using parcel monkey . Sent a parcel to my son in the Groningen , less than half the price of Royal Mail , there within 2 days as stated , no damage ... highly recommend
23/03/18 by Sara Bennett
Price for parcel was okay, no better than Hermes and once the payment had gone through i got an email saying my parcel would be picked up today, a time of day would have been pretty useful! As i was going out and of course they came round when no-one was in. So had to wait till Monday due to having no transport at the weekend, to drive to tonbridge depot and drop off the parcel, when we could have just done that Friday instead of hoping the delivery men would show up whilst we were at home, no idea why the company wouldnt give you a tough idea when the parcel would be getting picked up.

cheaper than the post office thanks

Easy drop off fast delivery. However getting a quote involves going into the booking system so a bit lengthy

I was asked to drop off the parcel at a post office but they couldnt scan it as the machine said it had already been scanned. This lead to a lot of confusion and phone calls.

3-4 day option was chosen. Parcel collected in London at 12h30 on Tuesday arrived in Durban at 10h30 on Friday. Tracking informayion en route was great. Excellent service at a very reasonable price. Will most definitely use you again.
