I was really pleased with the price and service. I had a parcel collected from the house in Devon and delivered to Hong Kong within a few days.

First time I have used them, everything was so easy to find courier and book collection. My parcel was collected between times I was told and delivered next day. Defiantly be using and recommending in future.

I booked a collection and delivery. The collection was prompt and the delivery on schedule. It was a good service.

Parcel took fully 2 weeks longer to arrive than was stated when making my order. And I was charged extra after package was measured by the courier, despite being weighed and measured accurately by myself. Very poor service.

I used ParcelMonkey to book ParcelForce to send a parcel from UK to Slovakia. It was a painless process, and the parcel arrived safely. Whats more to say?

My first time using this service and the parcel was sent to South Africa; the recipient received the parcel a day ahead of schedule. Well Done :)

Very helpful and easy to use- although I still don’t if/when my parcel will arrive in Abu Dhabi. It can’t be traced any longer

Excellent and fast definitely use again ????????????

I paid £40 to post an item worth £1000 next day delivery, the item turned up 2 weeks late and smashed to bits. I could not get a refund or any compensation when they had clearly damaged the item and failed to deliver on time!
24/11/17 by Jack Masterson
Awesome service all the way through ! Will 100% use again ..

Unfortunately my parcel didnt get collected on the Friday as I had booked so I had to request another collection for Monday which was a little frustrating but otherwise fine. Would use again.

Brilliant- a very important package to Sweden - quoted a fortune by usual postal service - this was such good value it was almost unbelievable. Collected exactly when it was supposed to and received in Sweden in pristine condition - excellent thank you.

Unkempt delivery driver who refused to take my package. Amazon organised delivery but I would never use them again

Easy to book, easy to pay, easy to track. Cannot fault it.

Placed requirement on Parcel Monkey - website easy to follow - Parcelforce collected parcel within an hour & now with recipient with no hassle

Booked our parcel on a 3-4 day delivery. 24 days later, I found the parcel myself. PARCEL MONKEY REFUSE TO ASSIST CUSTOMERS WHEN THERE IS AN ERROR. Look elsewhere. They use bots to communicate. They do not try and find missing shipments.

Apologies on behalf of the courier.

Dreadful experience! I booked a courier through Parcelmonkey, one day delivery. Courier (UK Mail) didnt turn up. No way of re-arranging online. Waited in all day. Online chat could not resolve the issue. No apology. Will not be using again, and suggest you look elsewhere!
24/11/17 by Julia Lynn
All good would use again
24/11/17 by Taylor's Classics
Started out good, collected promptly and shipped out quickly. Thats when it started to go wrong. It was held up in customs for 10 days for no apparent reason then once it was released it took delivery company 5 attempts to deliver, again with no valid reason. In total it took 22 days for a delivery that was estimated to take between 5 & 7 days. Not good.

Dont use Parcel monkey, two failed collections and no help and support to resolve this matter.....AVOID - USE PARCEL 2 GO

Parcel arrived safely in Greece less than a week after sending. Couldnt do better.
24/11/17 by Customer
Very Efficient and the parcel i senr was there on the said date it would arrive. Will dwfo use them again in the future and recommend it with friends and family.

This company does not deserve a single star as they are well, well below par. They use bots for communicating with customers and have managed to lose 6 parcels in that many days. No explanation, no refund, nothing. Astounded that they havent been sued out of their existence, really. Broad daylight thievery
23/11/17 by Beyond Black
excellent, did the job no hassle, would certainly use again
23/11/17 by David
Lost Parcel; Parcel collected by ParcelForce, via your company, on Fri 17.11.17, on a 48 hour delivery, but it has not been delivered by 23.11.16 - the parcel did not get to their hub, and it is having to be investigated
23/11/17 by Sue
Great service and plenty of options for people who aren’t home to take delivery
23/11/17 by paul ruddleston
Courier DX failed to collect twice, usually get a good service through PM but very disappointed
23/11/17 by Julian Hogg
Prices are reasonable, and service generally reliable (if you use known carriers) in that parcels arrive, however they always take significantly longer than time quoted when you book. E.g. if they state 3-4 days, it really means 4-8. Do not use their in house carrier service it is atrocious. No updates, parcels arrive battered and take 2-3 times longer than the time stated
23/11/17 by Samuel DeMalfort
Brilliant - fast delivery to Capetown, at a fair price. Will recommend.

Every time I have used Parcel Monkey the experience has been effortless.
23/11/17 by Customer
DO NOT USE UKMAIL... 1ST AND LAST TIME ILL EVER USE THEM, TOTALLY UNRELIABLE. BOOKED YESTERDAY FOR COLLECTION TODAY FOR DELIVERY TOMORROW. FAILED TO COLLECT. TRY TO FIND OUT WHY AND CONTACT IS VIA TEXTING ... PARCEL MONKEY, WHAT THE HELL? A BUSINESS RUN VIA TEXTING. PATHETIC.
23/11/17 by MICK
