A good company to use, but when you need to make contact due to a problem its a headache .Ended up contacting Courier direct who sorted it out and said they were use to it.

This was last day , i have contact them asked them why it hasnt collected and they copied and paste same message to me 4th time ***************************I am very sorry to hear that your parcel was not collected by the courier you chose via our quote engine. I will now contact the courier to investigate and schedule another collection for as soon as possible, once I have this information I will update you directly via this messaging tool, so please keep an eye on your account for further details.********************** They are keep investigating, and here when they reply they asking you to open FAO Manager support ticket, but they dont know what they are doing!!! They have wasted my 1 week, i have booked my parcel last Friday, and today Thursday, i have asked them to cancel, because they are repeating same messages again and again!

Arrived to collect exactly when they said they would. The time slot they gave me saved me hanging around all day waiting for them to collect.
It was a big parcel and wasnt cheap to send, but parcel monkey still gave me the cheapest quote of all those that I tried.

way cheaper than going to the post office directly.
Parcel arrived 2 days later than predicted but overall very satisfied with the service.
will definitely use them again

CHEAP - You get what you pay for..... in my case damaged items and stolen items.

Not only did parcel monkey loose my package, which as frustrating as it can be is nevertheless rationalisable, but the communication there after was attrocious. I am kicking my self in the teeth for not paying a little extra and going for someone more reputable. You get for what you pay for I suppose. £500 lesson learnt.

Was promised and I paid for parcel to be collected on Thursday It wasn’t collected until Friday 3.40 pm On the Thursday the tracking said my oarcel was In Southampton even though it was still in my house !!!!!

Overall disappointing service with parcel monkey. First of all the parcel was supposed to arrive in 2-3 working days, and it arrived in 7 working days. When I contacted parcel monkey numerous times I was getting unclear answers from them as if they didnt know where the parcel was or when it was getting delivered. The tracking system never worked, and still does not even after the parcel has been delivered! The cherry on the cake is that they told me later on that my parcel was over 1kg, when it was measured below 0.9kg from me with precision scales, so they charged me extra as well! I would not choose Parcel Monkey again in the future.

The parcel was to be collected at 12:45 and delivered before 14:00 only to be collected at 15:00 and delivered just before 17:00. when i called to check on the collection status the customer service lied and denied it after.

Sorry to hear that CitySprint failed to collect and deliver on time.
Kindly note that Parcel Monkey is not the courier, we are the comparison website. If you see there is a delay, please contact us immediately so we can get in touch with the courier.
If you would like to discuss this further, please contact us directly.
Kind regards,

Sent a bike through parcel force and was received very damaged, scratches and large hole in packaging. Paid for full protection and after a lengthy case they offered only 1/3 of what I paid protection on. They were quick at getting back to me but if the bike was a write off and all pictures provided and full cover paid for then I am not sure what the point of paying extra is and what would have to happen for this to be covered.

Efficient economic and effective

The service provided by parcel monkey is great unfortunately let down by the poor service of the couriers
07/12/17 by andy
Courier did not turn up on collection day. Parcel monkey showed no real interest in the inconvenience caused and thought it perfectly acceptable that I should have to wait around all the following day for a collection.

Prompt pick-up. Good service
07/12/17 by Don Morley
Simple to use the website, comprehensive options available, good prices. Exactly what I wanted. Will definitely use in future instead of other sites I have used before.

Parcel was picked up and delivered on time, and rates were reasonable. Did not need to contact customer service this time around so will see what happens next time.
07/12/17 by Sofia Chen
Very efficient. Will definitely use again
07/12/17 by DUKEFOREST
Parcel arrived when we wanted it and almost to the hour! Was in good condition after it’s long journey. The whole process of sending the parcel was quite easy. We will definitely use Parcel Monkey again.

The parcel was collected on 29th November 2017 as previously advised but since then I have found the tracking system impossible to use as Parcel Monkey website does not recognise either my e-mail details or the reference number supplied on the Confirmation e-mail - so I do not know whether the parcel has been safely delivered to its destination
06/12/17 by A Mace
Excellent service, tracking updated regularly. I would fully recommend this service and will use you again.

I booked next day collection with parcel monkey. The best collection time they can offer is a 8am to 6pm but i still booked. The parcel was not collected at all. I contacted them, i was given an apology and was told its booked again for the next day. The parcel was not collected again and had to give up after wasting 3 days on 3 missed collections. They have not provided an explanation even though I have asked many times. I had to book with a different company and now hope I can get my money back from parcel monkey I will never use this company again

First time user - trying to do a good deed returning a parcel for an elderly lady. First attempt I put a wrong day for collection - wouldn’t let me change so I opened a new page and started again for a different day collection. All went through ok - but half an hour later was sent two returns labels and had been charged for two collections of the same parcel!! Have emailed parcel monkey several times to try resolve this problem and have been totally ignored?! No acknowledgement whatsoever!! Although nice man picked up parcel on correct day as requested- wouldn’t use this service again as there is nobody to help resolve any problem you may have. No phone number. No human contact!!
