Yet again, despite doing everything asked of me my products end up stuck in customs and my customer asked if the parcel was from me as it was shown as being from ParcelMonkey! Fed up.

The actual postage / courier platform is ok, but they’re more expensive than going direct to the courier and they like to sting you with extra charges…however if there are any issues with your delivery (my delivery was not delivered and UPS wouldn’t refund stating I would have to go through Parcel Monkey as they were the booking agent) or if there are any additional charges from a courier (UPS charged me for an item they claimed was 21KG, alleging that I claimed 20.65KG, but the item actually weighed 8KG) then Parcel Monkeys customer service is absolutely atrocious, they ignore anything that involves refunding customers (both on email and the “reporting a problem” platform). Not the first time I’ve had issues with Parcel Monkey, last time I thought was a one off, but reading other reviews it’s how they operate and I won’t be using them again!! AVOID and go direct to the courier!!!

I have used Parcel Monkey a number of times sending parcels from here in North Lincs to Lincoln,Nottingham and New Zealand..oddly the New Zealand ones only ever took a few days to get there too...A great way to send your parcels.

Go every where else first ! delayed delivery and just to make you feel better charge you extra. The company appear to be cheap to start with which is their marketing ethos.But the reality will effect you where it hurts. I am thankful for the staff who are working nights to get this parcel to where it is going to be delivered and the van driver going out to the address. I will leave it up to you to make your own mind up to use this company. I have asked for my details to be deleted but they clearly not done so.

First time in many years Ive used PM, great price. My parcel was collected when due & arrived when it was due.
You cant ask for more than that.
17/04/25 by Dave Nash
You did great and the Parcel was collected and delivered as arranged by Parcel Force.
The problem I have is with the seller of the returned item. They are still asking for a tracking number and proof of postage when I have given them everything I have got and the parcel has been delivered.

All good, better more intuitive website, better prices, than the other delivery quote providers.

Booked a UPS collection through Parcel Monkey — they failed to collect twice, gave conflicting information, and left me stuck chasing both companies with no clear answers. No driver ever showed, no updates, no resolution. The parcel was too heavy to take to a drop-off point, and now I’m having to try and get it directly to the warehouse myself. Absolutely useless service. Never using them again.

+Easy to get a price +Easy to drop off -Needed a printer +Helpful customs declaration ---No idea where my parcel is - tracker says its been received in customs in Malmo and later on the same day it says it has been collected from the post office where I dropped it off 2 days earlier

Parcel Monkey usually is very efficient and super reliable however this time there was a delay on our parcel. They did update instructions all the time however this is why I am giving 4* and not 5*.
It is super easy to use and MUCH more affordable than sending things direct through the PostOffice or DHL etc.

Excellent service and competitive prices

So easy arrived on time .. good service

I booked 2 parcels for home collection. They were not collected on the specified day but the day after. The tracking system is dire. Email notifications were unavailable for one parcel but not the other. The online tracking is complex and slow and rarely updated. Much slower and less efficient than other delivery services I’ve used. I will not use Parcel Monkey again.

Courier never showed up!
14/04/25 by Rob, Customer
Very good communication and service generally, but am rating as 2 stars as on pick up driver came to door, my son offered to help him carry large box to van, driver walked off to van and left my son to carry package on his own, in the process injuring his finger. If it was my responsibility to get package to van that was not made clear I hope I will get a response to this.

This is my second time to use Parcel Monkey UK, and I will definitely be using them again. Excellent, easy to navigate site. Both times the boxes have been delivered promptly and unopened to our son and daughter in law in Colorado.

The parcel was collected on Tuesday morning and took until Sat morning to be delivered. The service was advertised as a 72hr service. The parcel was being sent from England to Northern Ireland, but if additional time is required then this should be made clear. No contact or notification of delays during transit.
14/04/25 by MR D G
Sent Thursday morning. Will not arrive until this Monday afternoon at destination. Hardly 24 hours parcel force. The same is happening on a parcel coming to me sent Thursday not even looking like scheduled delivery to me today again parcel force 24.
