I was told my delivery would take 3-4 working days and it has been 7 working days and there is still no sign of my parcel, very disappointing!

Parcel Monkey are a utter joke! Please avoid at all costs lost X2 parcels with over £500 value of goods no phone support and then blocked Me on live chat support and e mail daylight robbers now being reported to trading standards. Bad Bad Bad

The DPD service I received was excellent however in the future I book directly through DPD. The reason for this is when I had a query for Parcel Monkey on the day of my collection, they were slow to respond and unable to give any updates. After a while of chasing, I contacted DPD directly and they were able to update me in minutes.

Easy to book, great website, picked up on time and a great price.

Firstly I received a phone call of the drop off centre where I left the parcel for dpd to collect 5 days after leaving it, saying they couldnt scan the barcode and that I needed to reprint it, having to deal with the rude and ignorant staff that you are set up with I resolved the situation, but prior to resolving this I tried to get into contact with yourself numerous times for help, your are uncontactable

Excellent service at a great price. A 17kg parcel to Germany arrived in 2 days - a letter I sent to the same address via Royal Mail 4 days before this has yet to get there.
I would definitely use parcelmonkey again.
23/08/17 by Helen Lally
Excellent service, they give 1hr time slot for collection and delivery and they were exact to time, perfect,
23/08/17 by Customer J J Metcalfe Ltd
I like the fact that one company actually offers the combination of many players for shipping, it is less interesting to see that most players actually offer similar pricing... and it is good to know that parcel monkey can be reached over the net via chat, however it would be better that parcel monkey updates the courier info via mail ongoingly... the most important thing.. the shipping was a two day delivery in the offer, and it became almost a week for the shipment to reach us. It did reach very well, but it is important for the recipient to know by pinpoint when the courier will arrive date and hour, which was a difficult thing this time... but all ended well glad parcel monkey exists.

Fast delivery via Parcelforce to Guernsey.
Thank you
23/08/17 by whitij00
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!

Fantastic and much cheaper than my DHL account.
23/08/17 by Customer
The package was safely delivered by Parcelforce ahead of schedule but with a saving of almost 50% on the Post Office Counter price.
Cant fault parcelmonkeys sysytems.
Will use again.

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.
23/08/17 by Christopher Rowe
Arrived as promised.thank you!
23/08/17 by Customer
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!!
