Well it took 7 days to reach the destination, even though it was in the US it should be been quicker, there are other companies who offered a quicker turnaround. Second of all it did not go to the correct location! I used the exact address that was given to me but for whatever reason you delivered to a completely different address! This is unacceptable to be honest and kind of makes me wonder what exactly Iam paying for!

The package was safely delivered by Parcelforce ahead of schedule but with a saving of almost 50% on the Post Office Counter price.

Parcel booked for DPS 2 day delivery. Personally dropped off at the Parcelshop and there it sat for two days. Destination was Wales but ended up in Bournemouth depot, where I was informed there would be delay with the delivery. 4 day service was not ordered.

Rates and booking procedure are great, customer support when reporting a problem is rubbish. Dont mind using email communication but support really dont listen or understand if a problem arises. Slow communication and on some occasions have had to send reminder emails of an issue, better off contacting the courier used and resolving yourself if you can.

Arrived as promised.thank you!

Whilst the website is relatively simple to use the pricing is quite high and the information scant or at least maybe not so obvious if you are in a hurry. The real problem comes when you discover the DHL collection time is anywhere from 8am to 6pm which is just not acceptable at the price!!

Super simple to arrange, collection and delivery as promised. Will use again!

Used the drop off service. Worked really well, really fast delivery.

Generally a good experience, and the one down point was that the tracking was absolutely useless... but this may be down to Royal Mail.
According to the tracking the parcel had been picked up, great, we already knew that as we were sending it and had handed it over to the driver. After that, nothing, no record of it arriving at the hub or being sent out on delivery. We learnt from the recipient that it had been delivered two days later, on time but not on track.
Irritating...

We are currently awaiting a reply to 3 emails sent for a parcel that has been paid for on 15th August for collection from a Hoddleston address to be returned to an address in IP14. So far no contact has been made from Parcel Monkey direct or their chosen courier for the service UK Mail.

I always find the best delivery price on Parcel Monkey ????

I use courier services for my business delivering jewellery to brides and this is the worst service I have used. Next time I will use another courier Express who I have had a much better experience with and you are able to talk to someone on the phone unlike Parcel Monkey where I have to wait for the email response. Despite booking the 3-6 day delivery service to Australia, the parcel arrived late after 8 working days. It was almost impossible to get a response or help from Parcel Monkey. When I reached out directly to DPD my tracking number was invalid within their system and when I eventually did speak to someone I was told that the 3-6 day countdown only starts from the time the parcel leaves the UK and the parcel sat in UK for days. Utterly disappointed as a first time customer.

My parcel was shipped from Mallorca to the UK. Having booked the 3-5 day service I was expecting it to arrive by the 5th day at the latest. My parcel arrived 13 days later after calls to Parcel Monkey, Aramex and DPD. Tracking basically told me it had been picked up but that was all. Eventually I DPD had to start an investigation into where the parcel was anf when I contacted Parcel Monkey for a refund (after 10 days) they informed me that as the parcel had not yet arrived they could not give me a refund! Now it has arrived I am hoping a full refund will be offered but I am not holding my breath.

I sent a parcel to iran month ago and I pay 35£ When my parcel arrived , the postman was collecting 40£ from my family and I am so disappointed for this, Is there any explanation for this !!!!!!!

Our Response: Hello Milad,
Sorry to hear you were confronted with this customs charge.
All parcels sent with us are sent as DDU delivery duty unpaid. Customs in any country can charge duties/taxes on any foreign item entering their land and unfortunately, we have no control over this as we have now contact with customs. The parcel is either held for the payment or the payment is taken at the delivery address.
I hope this helps to clear this up for you, and if you would like to discuss this further, please dont hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards,
Mike
Was incredibly easy to use and gave all the possible options from various couriers so I was able to make the best choice. Would definately use again!

Only problem was for me to print out the label, super fast and smooth tracking all the way .
21/08/17 by Martin
I paid for Next day delivery, and my parcel was not delivered until 3 working days later. This caused the recipient a lot of stress due to waiting in for parcels. DX said that i could only get a refund through parcel monkey, and then it was up to parcel monkey to claim the money back from them. Parcel monkey have not responded to any messages, and did not assist in anyway. I will never use this service again!
