Would seriously recommend *not* using this service. Booked a next-day AM delivery via Parcelforce (incidentally another company to avoid using). Past the delivery time and the parcel still wasnt showing up on tracking. Logged the issue with Parcel Monkey (obviously no instant response since they have no skin in the game) and tried to chase the urgent parcel through Parcelforce since it really needed to have been there on time. Turns out the delivery wasnt picked up from the drop-off point! Chasing complicated by the fact that Parcel Monkey use their own address as the origin address so ended up talking to the wrong Parcelforce depot. Finally managed to get Parcelforce to agree to a early morning delivery the following for having missed the service level and make damn sure it was picked up this time (ZERO help from Parcel Monkey it should be added) If this so far sounds like its mostly a Parcelforce problem with a bit of awful customer service added, youd be right. The part that made me vow never to use these rip-off merchants again was this: Applied for a refund for my missed timed delivery that I paid extra for and was "generously" offered a 50% refund (50% of the SERVICE price, NOT including the insurance paid). Turns out that even on "guaranteed delivery" services, Parcel Monkey only offer refunds if its FIVE DAYS LATE!!! Bear in mind that Parcelforces terms of service for the delivery type I used offers ONE HUNDRED PERCENT refund for failure to deliver on time. So Parcel Monkey (who you can bet claimed the failed delivery) basically pocketed 150% of the price for failure to do ANYTHING useful. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE if you care whether your packages arrive on time!

I sent already twice boxes from UK to Spain, both times they arrived the day said in perfect condition and the price was the best I could find. Just to point out, I took the insurance which price I think is pretty reasonable I completely recommend it.

I was recommended by friend who much more frequently sells articles on eBay/Gumtree to try Parcel Monkey. I found the instructions clear and easy to follow, collection was easy and I had confirmation from the recipient that the goods were delivered in good condition.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE CAUSE IN ITALY YOU GUYS USE ONE COMPANY CALLED BRT , THEY ARE THE MOST IMPOLITE, USELESS AND RUDE PEOPLE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. MY PARCEL WASNT WHERE SUPPOSE TO BE AND THEY LIED EVERY SINGLE DAY WITH ALL DIFFERENT EXCUSES. I SPENT LOT MONEY TO CALL THEM AND I SEND THERE IN MILANO CERTOSA, TWICE MY RELATIVES. NEVER AGAIN I WILL USE THIS SERVICE, SUCH A SHAME CAUSE IF YOU WOULD USE SERIOUS AND PROFESSIONAL COMPANY AROUND THE WORLD WOULD BE FINE.

Shipped via parcelforce. PArcel delivered before 9am next day on a 24hr service.

Convenient, efficient parcel delivery for a very economical price. Second use of company, package to Europe arrives safe and secure. Only quibble is web booking form can be frustrating until you have used it a couple of times. There was a glitch with the pickup on the first parcel (ordered within the time limit for same day collection but close to deadline), following the contact procedures resulted in good, personalised help and successful pick up following day. Second parcel prebooked a few days in advance, whole process textbook result. Follow the instructions and you can go far wrong !

System problems delayed the production of the label until the drop off point was closed. Offered no discount or alternative meaning my 1 day expensive delivery ended up taking 4 days.

Although Ive used this service quite a bit previously, without issue - this time round Ive been left in such a awkward position by ParcelMonkey and the courier theyve chosen to use for my order. Essentially, Ive now had my collection missed 4 or 5 times now. This is crazy as Ive been in constant communication with parcelmonkey helpdesk and Ive had to have someone attend my house for almost a solid week now (using holidays to stay off work). I am appalled at the lack of explanation and this is definitely going to impact my seller feedback on the website Id sold the contents of parcel on. I have since been told that I should expect a refund in just under a week. NOT GOOD! I am dependant on the moneys payed to be able to post the item and now ParcelMonkey will be in possession of this money. I have been left up sh!t creek without a paddle by PM, essentially. DO NOT USE PM. GO DIRECT TO A COURIER ONCE YOUVE COMPARED THE SERVICES.
