I used Parcelforce priority through Parcel Monkey, it was half price compared to going direct to Parcelforce. I took it to the post office Monday and it arrived in Canada on Wednesday. The process was easy and straightforward.

The system works like clockwork, a good selection of carriers, drop-off was easy and convenient. A good price comparison, little more to add.

Excellent service, Thank you for such an easy option for getting my parcel picked up and delivered.

THE WORST SERVICE EVER! Our parcel has not been collected twice in a row which should have been delivered with DPD within 2 business days and we therefore missed an important business deadline with consequences accordingly - after 1 week our parcel has still not been collected causing us to run out of time and miss on an important business opportunity, therefore collection needed to be cancelled in the end. Customer service via chat is terrible! We constantly spoke to different people who´s responses where very robotic and standard, there was no empathy, no eager to provide us with a fast solution and long waits between responses! Truly terrible service! We have been ensured that collection will take place which did not happened in the end.... Our questions were not answered when we asked about the reasoning for the failed collections, we only received a standard "We are investigating" and to date there has been no sincere apology, no explanation, nothing. WE WILL NEVER USE PARCEL MONKEY AGAIN! ITS NOT RELIABLE AND THERE IS NO PROPER CUSTOMER SUPPORT.

It was not possible to get onto Tracker to obtain an estimate of when the parcels would be picked up. I kept getting an error message saying my parcels had not yet been loaded onto the system. This was VERY frustrating as it meant I had to ask someone to wait in for the collection all day, without even knowing if my parcels would be collected as they were not "on the system". I tried asking for an estimate of the collection time through "CHAT" but a response came 90 minutes later through my email asking for my PM number. (Since I sent the original message from my online account, I would have expected whoever was responding to the chat to have access to that info so they could deal with my problem straight away.) I didnt receive this question until I was able to check my emails in the evening, AFTER THE COLLECTION! Normally you would expect a response to the CHAT to be on the same screen I sent the message from. I am still waiting for a response to my subsequent email. In the event, a tired man came to pick up the parcels on the appointed day but late - after 6 pm. Once in the hands of ParcelForce the parcels were delivered to their destination in good time the following day - but, again, with no estimate of their delivery time available, so I was not able to warn those receiving them, as even the next day I was still not able to find my parcels on Tracker! Please can someone contact me now so we can find out what went wrong so we can all know what to do to improve things in future??

Only way of contact with this company is live chat and they just chose to ignore you. So then you open a support ticket and they just do not respond. So mike or James when you see this review do not recommend to open a support ticket FAO manager. Avoid this service!!!

If you’re sending across UK, parcel monkey is 7⭐️ I sent a parcel to Portugal and the Portuguese delivery company didn’t delivered the parcel and can’t be contacted.. now we can’t find it Maybe Parcel Monkey should pick better international delivery companies

First and last time I used this service. The courier didnt come to another courier on the day I organised myself for that And then I have to take another day offer but they came and dont use the bell, so another waisted day. In the end took 4 days to finally to another courier.

GOOD SERVICE
01/10/17 by CustomerMR R JOHNSON
Didnt collect parcel, happened many times with parcel monkey. No compensation no discount offers just brushed under the carpet . Always ask to speak to someone higher and then get sent a basic contact form rather than a direct contact Spend thousands with your company and happy for you to contact me if you wish to discuss further

Extremely quick and easy to use. Straight to the point, everything was done electronically. No need for a printer or hassle with tracking labels.

Great price always good for me

I use Parcel Monkey as it is quick and easy with the best price around.
They use reputable companies to carry out their deliveries. Cheaper than going direct to Parcelforce and its the same service. Print label, drop off and go. Easy.

I would recommend this service

I am very pleased with the service and the prices!

My parcel was supposed to be delivered on Tuesday and it was delivered on Wednesday instead. This was because it was delivered to the wrong depot. Ridiculously and very unsatisfied. Tried to contact Parcel Monkey via online chat and was forever connecting. Waited for over 1 hour then gave up. Useless, will never use again.

Used parcelmonkey a few times now to get house hold items from the UK to France. Also used the service to send clothes. Delivery is fast and a great price cheaper than the post office or anywhere else Ive looked. I will continue to use parcel monkey for as long as I need items to be shipped.

excellect service.will def be using from now on
30/09/17 by KATHERINE JENNINGS
Received updates as to what hour of day my parcel would be picked up and the parcel was collected within time frame stated. The package was delivered next day as per transaction. Excellent service unlike some other low cost couriers who never even turned up and had to wait over a week to receive refund.
Ill continue to use Parcel Monkey from now on for my courier deliveries.
