This is the frist time that I had used Parcel Monkey and found my experience very good with a couple major exceptions. I delivered my parcel to the local DPD pick up shop on Thursday 3 August in the late morning. I asked when it would be collected and was told that they had no idea but that the parcels that they had received during the first three days of the week had only been picked up he previous day, Wednesday. My parcel being sent to Sweden was not collected until the following day, Friday 4 August. So it would appear that DPD made no collection on the Thursday - collecting only on two days - Wednesday and Friday - that week. When I tried to monitor the tracking of the parcel I was able to do so whilst it was in the UK but once it had left there was no information available. The recipient told me that he had received the parcel yesterday, 10 August. Delivery time - good. Pick up unreliable. Tracking after leaving the UK - could do much better if they tried!

The package arrived in a few days as expected, but very ruined and with some open corners. Luckily inside there were only clothes and some books, so nothing was broken.

I ordered this service for collection on the 2nd and was due for delivery on Monday the 7th August. this did not arrive the service provided at parcel monkey was below what would be expected in such a situation. they advised me they will contact the courier and keep me updated, all they kept on telling me is that they havent heard back. today is Friday I decided to take this into my own hand I contacted the courier who confirmed with me that they did not receive a single message from PM regarding this parcel.... personally I do not understand how they could lie to me this way for so many days. the parcel was missing and the search only started many days later due to PM laid back service if to for me nothing would be happening.. what do we pay them for, if not for them to take care of our parcels. at the moment I still dont have my package and this is causing great aggravations there is no one to talk to. Who has ever heard of a company without a contact number??? I finally got the manager onto to live chat who made me trust that he will get onto the case. Now have to wait till Monday to hear from him... how crazy because Monday there will be no one anymore to accept the package at the destination, they only got themselves into greater problems... I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SERVICE!!! use at your own risk. if anything happens there is no one to talk to.

This is the worst service I have ever experienced via a courier company. When you write to complain on their Facebook site all they say, to anyone asking for help is "Hello, xxxxxx, I am sorry to hear the courier you selected has not collected your parcel as of yet. Please kindly provide your PM number and we will look further into this for you." This service is ridiculous.They never go any further than this with helping you. You never hear back from them. I have started the process of getting my money refunded via my bank but I would suggest that you NEVER use this service but instead write a lot of letters to the owner MR NAVIN RAMIAH of 21 Tollgate Chandlers Ford, Eastleigh, Hampshire, SO53 3TG and tell him why you are so upset with his extremely unprofessional service.

I have sent 3 parcels through Parcel Force on the 3rd of August to Portugal. The 1st one arrived on the 7th, which is on schedule, but no sign of the other 2. The second one arrived with damage on the 9th! And the 3rd is still missing... I contacted the agent about thr 3rd one but they cannot tell me where it is! I have sent several times with DPD and had no issue at all, but its my 1st and last with this awful company

Our Response: Dear Customer,
Sorry to hear you have had an issue with the carrier chosen via our quote engine.
Please open a support ticket so we can investigate this with the carrier to see what has happened to the remaining parcels.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Kind regards,
Mike
The parcel has been a week and still has not arrived. It is also damaged and Ive had next to no communication from anybody about it. If I need compensation (if it ever arrives), then Im sure this will be even more trouble. Id rather cut off my own legs than use Parcel Monkey again. I strongly advise you to use another service.

Easy way to send and collect a parcel
11/08/17 by Mr Wardle
Again, absolutely superb service, never a hitch and so fast. Door to door service, Hastings to France for £16....in just 2 days....unbelievable!
I havent found another courier company who compares on price and to cap it all, you get to choose the best courier provider and they really do provide a truly superb service. Highly recommend Parcel Monkey. May they continue to reign.

6.5kg parcel dropped of at Matalan. Parcel was receipted in-store and Parcel Monkey took over. Package was picked-up on Saturday the 5th by DPD and was in Hong Kong and out for delivery on Tuesday the 8th with the local carrier Linex Solutions. A two working day turnaround. With great online comms and the best value proposition, not sure the Parcel Monkey arrangement could be bettered.

Perfect all round service,no idea how they get prices lower. 24 express service collection/deliver. Insured £350 for 2 parcels 20kg each at 68cm/34/36 for £29. Item arrived perfect condition. Will always use Parcel Monkey from now on ????????????

I wanted 2 dining room chairs collected from Sheffield and delivered to Dorking. The seller had not packed them at all and the driver refused to take them. I only knew because the seller emailed me. I had no communication from Parcel Monkey to say they were unable to pick up my item or tell me what I could do about it. I have wasted my money on a delivery service that did not happen.

Dont even bother to use parcel monkey. My parcel was supposed to be delivered a week ago and still not even news on when it will arrive. They discourage you to contact directly parcel companies involved yet, they dont provide information on how to recover parcels. Terrible.

Booked my shipment from my phone, they picked up my parcel from the hotel I was at when the said they would and delivered it to its destination in a timely manner, undamaged, like they said they would. All the while I was able to track it online and for a fraction of the price of "the big guys". My package wasnt time sensitive, it just needed to get from point A to B. I will definitely use them again.
10/08/17 by Customer
Trying to get delivery questions/confirmations is virtually impossible, we at MSR have several shipments that have not shown as delivered, yet they have, this takes time up and is very frustrating, you need to get it sorted, now also using another courier.
10/08/17 by Steve
Excellent service definitely recommend
10/08/17 by Customer
Used twice - first time seamless, great service hence re-used.. second time failed to collect on two occasions - would have re-scheduled again had we been contacted / informed of the situation.. instead we had to raise awareness of the issue!
10/08/17 by Customer
Excellent service. Couldnt fault anything. Will definitely use again.
