Wanted to send a gift to my friend in Israel so booked delivery through Parcel Monkey with collection on Monday. I provided my work address, waited till 8pm but no one came. Contacted their customer service and had to wait 30min for every question I asked. When I asked why no one came today, they said go for a full refund or rebook it, no explanation no apology... Would not recommend!

Not used Parcel Monkey before so I was slightly nervous of what to expect but actually I have been hugely impressed.
Really detailed tracking and updates. Competitive rates. Will definitely use again. 5* service

Not happy. My parcel was collected from me on the 12th December for next day delivery. According to the complicated tracking info it was tried to be delivered on the 15th. Today (18th December) I have been contacted from the the person expecting the parcel to say they havent received it. I am presuming because of their contact with me there has been no card left, if delivery was attempted

Parcelmonkey send me this review although I still havent received my luggage after a week, while I was told it would take two work days.

I would recommend Parcel Monkey for everyone. I had to change the collection day but the changes were made seamlessly.

I was expecting a 4pm sameday collection, the courier showed up after 11pm!! I spoke to your advisors online chat, Belle said she would get back to me via email with a solution. Never recieved an email. So I had to revert back to the online chat, again I got Belle who said they could no longer collect. Im still waiting for my refund.... first & last time Ill ever use Parcel Monkey!

I dropped my parcel off at one of the designated Dpd collection points 12 days ago (yes, 12 days!) and it still hasnt got to its destination. Bear in mind delivery time was meant to be 3-4 days. Having just tracked the parcel, Im completely mystified by the fact it only left the UK yesterday and "its on its way to Italy". When is it going to get there? Totally unacceptable.

Ive rescheduled collection 4 times now over a period of 7 days and its still sat here with no reason explained to me why its being delayed. Terrible service

Collected and delivered to both Denmark and the USA in 3 days - not bad in December !

Absolutely appalling service. Order placed which quickly went to "Problem Status" on address. Initially got hold of them and they "fixed" the address and said labels within 30 mins. Order stayed in "Problem Status" and no labels. Following this, no response at all from Support anymore. Tried email, chat etc. It says "Support Online" but no one reading the messages. They do not change to "Read", no response to emails or support tickets. My second support request is listed as 01 January 1970 too. Now have £30 sat with them, no labels, no chance of collection on time, no method of contact. AVOID these.

Brilliant and easy to use. Cost effective pricing, unfussy label printing (only had to print one label for the package whereas competitors had me printing out five or six) and the courier arrived in a one-hour window on the scheduled day. Package arrived on the other side of the world within fives days and in one piece. Does just what is says on the box with no stress.

Fine no problems

Vey incompetent, people not willing to help. The parcel was sent on 8th of December and it was due to arrive on 14th of December however it hasnt arrived yet. I have asked the company to track my parcel since last Thursday and still I have no information about what is going on and why it is delayed that much. Although they say that the parcels are fully tracked I can only track it until it leaves the UK. The parcel is full of Christmas presents and although I sent it 20 days before Christmas I very much doubt that it will arrive on time, if its not lost. Overall terrible and very stressful experience!!!

My items were not collected. No way of gettin*in touch with you. Take no responsiblity and I have had to spend a lot of time over numerous expensive phone calls chasing the courier you linked me up with. You have taken payment and I still have not have had the service that i paid for. Have to now wait another week before these items can be apparently collected. Lost one days money to wait in all day and now have no faith that this collection will even happen.

From ordering the service for my parcel and its collection from me at home to delivery in Switzerland took less than 3 days and was much cheaper than any other option I could find.

Cost of sending a 4.5Kg package to Austria £15.
Cost at my local post office £67.00
you decide...
18/12/17 by Keith
Parcel was delivered at date and time requested.
18/12/17 by Cathy
I will never ever use parcel monkey again!!! Driver never turned up twice... waited in the whole day no one came... contact PM via chat... chat guys fake forever to reply. No reason given for the no show... copy and pasted. 3rd attempt driver did arrive... spent so much wasted time on these guys... never again
18/12/17 by Customer
I chose a 2 day priority international option with Parcel Force at extra cost. Its been over a week and my parcel has still not arrived. This was from London UK to Germany so nothing out of the norm. In future I will pay the extra and use a real courier to get the job done.
