Sent a 5 kg box of rare items to a regular buyer in South Korea. Thought I would give them a try as I have used more expensive to send to him before. Beware that they dont simply deliver the goods. They phoned him first but couldnt get a reply. He was in a meeting at work. No message was left and no attempt to deliver. Parcel has taken 8 weeks to find its way back to the UK and I have the option of picking it up from Southampton (I live in Kent!), pay nearly £25 to have it delivered back to me or have £400 worth of goods disposed of!!!. When it gets back, I will have to pay another £50 to resend it by a real courier instead of them. There is no contact phone number and they only message you what they want to make you hear. YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY!!! YOU PAY PEANUTS, YOU GET MONKEYS!!!

5 star service

They failed to collect two days in a row. I have no idea what the plan is, my parcel still hasnt been collected. There is basically no way to speak to these people. On top of it they give you a 10 hours window. I am not kidding. So my 18m daughter basically hasnt been out of the house for two whole days, and for nothing on top of it. I am incredibly unhappy and I want my money back

We usually bring parcel directly to post office before I found this site. It was heavy and time consuming. Parcel Monky save me time. I found my parcel arrived next day. It was really surprisingly convenient. Will use again.

Could not have been easier plush a far more realistic price than the post office will use again

I like parcel monkey. It brings all the different shipping services together and I can choose the cheapest. I prefer to "drop off" my packages and PM gives you this option. Luckily a few of the parcel depots are quite close to me.
I had to use customer services once and this was an online chat - it was OK but they werent there at the stated time (i think they must have gone home early!) it got sorted in the end but took more effort on my part than it should have.
PM make sure your CS staff are actually online at the stated times!!

The parcel arrived double quick time UK to Uruguay in 5 days. The only siie was I had to contact them as after 5 days I had to contact as tracking status was still saying "2nd February 2017 @ 19:30: Collection Scheduled" The lady on live chat was very good and dealt with my query. quickly, but the status has still not changed to "Delivered"

Parcelforce cost was £45 to send a parcel to France. Parcel Monkey was £16.23. And the carrier they used? Parcelforce!

I Have sent 3 parcels with Parcel Monkey to a European destination from the UK and they have always arrived, safe, well and intact. Great service, great value, I will continue to use parcel monkey and def recommend.

Great service - dropped parcel off at nearby shop, tracked it online and it arrived safely ( and a day early!) in Slovakia. Will definitely use Parcel monkey again. Thanks!

My parcel was collected very early in the day on Monday so I could still get to work. Arrived in Malawi on Friday in perfect condition according to recipient. Quote was cheaper than any other courier by far :) So overall very happy and will be using them again. Thank you ParcelMonkey
Only negative was parcel tracking was not updated until Thursday. So there were slight anxieties about where the parcel was

There are many different online based parcel delivery companies, however, with ParcelMonkey they provide you with an excellent service. They utilise primary UK courier companies such as DPD who deliver regularly to big companies. I dropped off my parcel to a DPD drop-off point, received a tracking card, and received my parcel box a few days later. The best thing of all? ParcelMonkey with DPD took care of customs documentation digitally!

My parcel wasnt collected on the day it was scheduled to be collected... I asked the reason why on live chat , they reponded reasonably fast but nothing wow... However they couldnt get back to me why the reason parcel didnt get collected due to poor lack of cominication between service and courier .. It was very dissapointed for that reason my parcel was delay by a week ... very poor service ... As a company should at least have a phone number so I can contact them directly .... However overall experience was stressful ! People who wanted do everything according on their exact time please dont use this service .. You cant rely on this service due to their lack of time management ... you may end of wasting your whole day at home and not getting your parcel collected ..

a great service at a reasonable price

Awesome service, great price, fast pick-up and delivery.
Exactly what you need for parcels large and small.
It could only be improved if it gave you the option to drop-off the parcels at a local store/depot.

If only the Royal Mail were as fast as these guys!
I ordered a same day collection for a 48 hour Royal Mail Express service. Handled flawlessly by PM, unfortunately though Royal Mail took more than 48 hours to deliver.

EXCELLENT SERVICE
09/02/17 by Customer Mark Goddard
We sent a parcel just before Christmas to be delivered early new year.Now Feb 9 and despite several emails to them and nine from them, no delivery. Parcel Monkey instead of admitting they have lost the parcel have fobbed us off at every turn. All the emails from them have Christian names only so iy is impossible to send a Small Claims Court to them. What they seem to have forgotten is it is possible to send a Court Claim to a company, which is our next step
09/02/17 by Paul
The parcel I sent via Parcel Force arrived safely. Collection this end was very efficient.

Great service and always delivered on time.

Simple process to order a collection though website when used on a smartphone is not well laid out. Main website is good. Had a few problems where parcels werent accepted after confirmed for collection or parcels marked as collected when not. Generally good though. Delivery delays have been the fault of the courier not parcel monkey. Parcel monkey have very restricted list of items that can be sent while most couriers they offer are less restrictive. I use the service once a month or so and find it useful.
