So fast and very efficient. Northumberland to Connecticut, USA in under a week, exceeded my expectations. Not cheap but great service.

Excellent range of shipping services and always at good prices. I’ve used Parcel Monkey for years and they almost always have the best price and the right service to suit my needs.

Delivery of a large 14kg parcel to America in 2 days - Never I said - well it arrived at its destination in Ohio on the second day even though it was opened and inspected by customs on that side.

When trying to return a mattress topper following a free trial, the company concerned wanted to charge £40 for carriage.
In swooped Parcel Monkey to save the day. They arranged transport for less than a quarter of the price and less than I could have got it for, via Parcel Force.
I was given all the relative tracking numbers and proof of delivery, which was as scheduled and trouble free.
I dont send parcels often but, when I have occasion, Parcel Monkey will be my first port of call.

Buying a guitar from someone in Bristol, I sent an empty box for the guitar. The sender had to extend the box by a matter of 3cm. This made the parcel nowhere near 10% bigger than booked. Also, there was no way it could not have fitted in any of your vans despite the first driver refusing it and saying he had to send another. I dont mind paying a surcharge for the extra volume but charging £79 in addition to the original £27 is outrageous. Also, you are a private company - you are not allowed to fine people. That is only for our legal system. I am considering taking you to the small claims court.

I organised you on the Monday and pick up was meant to be on the Tuesday. Annoyingly, my product could of been stolen. My parcel arrived on the Saturday and I paid for an Express 48 hr. I will write in to customer services, once I have time.

Courier failed to another couriers that I paid 24 hr express delivery for despite me ringing after 4pm with my concern, was told to waiting until after 6pm. I contacted Parcel Monkey at 8am the next day to re arrange collection as was told they could only collect the next day despite it being a failed collection from yesterday. I needed this parcel delivering asap hence why I paid 24hr express. On enquiring about droppping of the parcel at a collection point instead, I was told I probably couldnt drop it off at a depot as it was a collection label and I would have to cancel the order wait 5-7 days for a refund and arrange another collection. I ended up taking all 4 heavy parcels to a drop off point post office who scanned the labels no problem. I still took another 4 days for my parcels to get there! So absolutely no point in paying for 24hr express, Parcel Monkeys customer service is absolutely pointless they can do nothing to help if things go wrong.

I booked the DPD collection, but the driver didnt show up. So we went to drop off the parcel at the end.

The service recommended DPD which was the perfect courier to get a parcel to Nepal. It provides a door-to-door service where other couriers like DHL do not.

Easy process fast delivery
04/12/23 by mary gilson
The service I received was beyond a joke. My parcels initially werent picked up, then when they were, my delivery instructions were ignored, so nobody was in to receive them. Then, the courier stated the next day there was insufficient address information supplied - despite being able to locate the address the previous day (when it was closed, as per my specific instructions.) My parcels then got lost, and nobody could advise me as to their whereabouts, before they showed up again at the sending location. At least they werent lost for good and I could arrange re-sending with a different company, but I was thoroughly displeased with the service received from Parcel Monkey and will never use them again. You cannot speak to anybody on the phone, and it seems like their lines of communications with the couriers they use are rubbish too.

User friendly and parcel collected on time. Good service

Very simple to do, even the customs declaration. Tracking a little slow sometimes but it arrived at its destination when it said it would.
Would definitely use again.
