There were problems with signing in and the labels took ages to appear but all issues were resolved by a nice lady on the help page.
All the packages have arrived OK and the price was VERY reasonably

Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Driver actually arrived 5 mins early and wasnt at all fazed by the fact that the package was in a suitcase rather than a container. Somehow he also managed to get from SE5 to KT3 (10 miles) in 35 mins!

No mean feat to get stuff to Italy and to its destination. Thanks, Parcel Monkey. Much the cheapest way to send.

Our Response: Dear Sarah
Sorry to hear there was issue with the courier Parcelforce, sometimes in the sort centre parcels can be separated and this can mean they arrive apart. As we do not handle the shipments we have no control over this.
Apologies for the inconvenience caused
Kind regards

I was sending several things to the Netherlands as I am moving there soon. The process of finding a service, getting the labels for the parcels , and sending them off was very straightforward. They arrived very quickly as well!

After being badly let down by another courier company, I decided to try Parcel Monkey. The website was easy to navigate, and they dutifully turned up to uplift my parcel the next day - and they were cheaper !!
I would definitely use them again.

i got my parcel damaged during transport but no compensation was offered even though i paid for extra insurance

Our Response: Dear Yavuz
Sorry to hear your parcel was damaged in transit with the courier you choose via the quote engine
Sadly liquids are prohibited items that should not be sent so I can see why the claims team had to turn your claim down on this occasion
Please do check before shipping what can and cannot be sent via the couriers we offer on our quote engine
Kind regards

A VERY SPEEDY DELIVERY - UK TO FRANCE IN 2 DAYS
20/12/16 by Customer
Quoted £100 from Royal Mail. We went with ParcelMonkey and chose Parcel Force who offered a better service, collected the item from my work and had delivered the package on the Monday morning after being collected on the Wednesday afternoon (4 days!) It only cost us a little under £40. Would highly recommend!
20/12/16 by Customer
Cheap and great service, only downside is that the time slot is 8-6 think in this day and age it could be more specific, even 4 hour would be more helpful
20/12/16 by Customer
Easy to use, very convenient. Thank you

Great service, very reliable and would highly recommend
20/12/16 by Customer
Arranged for 3 large parcels to be collected from my office and delivered to a hotel in London and then a return journey a couple of days later. First journey went well, no issues but then they were never collected on the Friday. I had some annual leave the following week so didnt chase them up until a week later - when I realised the items had not been returned. They said couldnt do anything as it had been over 5 business days? They also didnt even give me an explanation as to why they werent collected - just tried to blame the courier! Unfortunately Ill not be using their service again.

Parcel Monkey met expectations, provided good options and made bookings easy. Communication was good throughout.
20/12/16 by Mr Osmond
we had to collect a large, heavy package (24kg) from London. It couldnt have been easier - click click, £12. Good comms throughout from the Monkey and Parcelforce, excellent tracking info, delivered on time and undamaged.
20/12/16 by DaveH
When parcel force picked up parcel, gave us receipt with parcel force tracking number. tried this the next day to track parcel, but to no avail. phoned parcel force up yesterday, they had no tracking available on number i gave them. I was able to give them a number scribbled on the receipt form which fortunately was the route number of van and they were able to find parcel from that. They said parcel money had give them 2 consignment numbers, so obviously the first number we were given was an incorrect one. Thankfully had a very patient customer waiting for parcel in germany.

My parcel arrived thanks to the couriers but Parcel Monkey were useless. Please note there is no phone number for Parcel Monkey if you have problems, they run a ticket only support system. The tracking for my package said "Delivered". It was not. It later emerged that the first courier Yodel had "Delivered" it to the second Trakpak. There was no tracking information for Trakpak. On submitting a support ticket it was closed within one day as "inactive". I submitted a second ticket which was answered by two separate employees with completely different answers one of which involved asking for a new collection date(?*!?). I checked reviews for Parcel Monkey and found they were the subject of various newspaper investigations for poor customer service. I will never use them again.
