After a precious piece of artwork was destroyed by Royal Mail I decided to put my trust in Parcel Monkey instead. I found the process very easy and it is an affordable option for my business.
Very happy, will be using again!

We were going to visit my daughter in New Zealand and had far too much luggage so decided to send a box of clothing and gifts by parcel monkey. The parcel was collected from our home the day before we left on our trip and was delivered at her house in New Zealand four days later, the day before we arrived. Excellent service and we have recommended parcel monkey to all of our friends and relatives.

Booked on-line to pick up a package from an UK location and bring it to me in another EU country. Gave me several courier options. Super easy!

Website information was excellent. Prices were competitive. Print off was excellent. Collection was outstanding. Will definitely use them again in the very near future.

Living in Portugal it can be tough trying to buy things on line as many sellers just dont seem to like the hassle of international delivery. Perhaps dangerously this service now means I have no such limitations. It was effortless and cost effective to arrange for items to be sent to my Uncle and then forwarded to me - particularly as he didnt need to do a thing other than affix the label and provide to the courier who came to the house. I was able to arrange everything on line and pay too. I was kept informed during the whole process and was very impressed.

We were very happy with the service we got from both Parcel Monkey and Parcel Force. The package was picked up in good time and we were able to track its progress and see that it was delivered in good time.
The only reason we have not given 5 stars is because we had no confirmation email to reassure us that Parcel Force were definitely coming to collect the package as we had been lead to believe would be the case. In the event they came nice and early so we were not wondering long!
I guess this is probably a Parcel Force problem rather than Parcel Monkey.
Very good value for money.

Did exactly what you promised

Scheduled a drop-off with parcelmonkey at 11pm friday and they scheduled the collection for the same day. What? Is the driver going to collect it at 11pm? I dont think so. CS rescheduled my package, saying that I was "late"??? Seriously. You dont schedule a collection for Friday if the order is at 11pm. Move it to the next day. Wow. Blaming me for the system error isnt cool Furthermore, the tracking number they provided NEVER worked. It has been delivered now (buyer told me) but the tracking never updated from "labels ready to print" 2/5, parcel got delivered, but Im not going through that hell again!

had issues in the past but now would recommend them

You will not find cheaper than sending parcel as soon as parcelmonkey personally checked on his experience...

Very good all round

Overall fairly satisfied. And arrived promptly.

Had to send a folding glass shower screen back. Didnt realise that in the insurance small print it said glass objects not covered and company policy was not to transport glass, and nobody contacted me about this before collection to set me straight despite the fact Id filled in a form to describe the object. The shower screen was packaged and padded in its original packaging. When it was collected the courier did not comment despite the "fragile" "glass" etc. warnings all over the large box. The manufacturers refused to refund us the money for the screen because (and they sent us photos) it was smashed into smithereens. It was as though someone couldnt care less that it was a glass object because they knew it wouldnt be covered, so they wouldnt have to accept liability. They must literally have thrown it around for it to be that smashed inside the packaging. So angry.

I priced a delivery and then when i wanted to order, and was asked for more info, the choice of courier changed and the suppliers were less flexible. e.g. the supplier i had to use could give me no approx. time for collection whereas the one i wanted to use would have done that. Disapointed.
07/11/16 by Alistair
Extremely late delivery, no explanation or help offered. used live chat who fobbed me off with "nothing" answers. My last question has still not been answered after 9 hours and counting. Chat window still open, still waiting!!

Allgood recommend Parcelforce or DPD not yodel

Very happy to have used Parcel Monkey. Easy and efficient. Will use again.

Have used parcel monkey for worldwide and European parcels without any problems for a good few years, I always use the drop off services and the major parcel companys so havent experienced any problems. Would recommend them as they represent significant savings over using the P.O. and major couriers direct.

All in the titlt

Parcel not collected on booked day despite paying a premium for next day delivery. Contacted online support who told me someone had attempted to collect but scanned as customer not available which wasnt true as someone stayed in all day; Customer Service person ignored my conversation after I said that was a lie. Delivery operative who delivers here regularly confirmed he was never handed the job on the designated day when collecting parcel on the next day after Id been forced to re-arrange collection. Not impressed, poor service all round!
07/11/16 by Janice
Excellent site easy to use, made returning items really simple.

Thank you.

Very good service at a great price. Good website, downloaded address and barcode, took to post office,that was it! Excellent.

Our parcel was delivered completely damaged and unusable. There is absolutely no means of contacting these people, even the Omsbudsman couldnt get hold of them when we appointed them to fight our case with them. They may provide cheap courier services, but you get what you pay for but in our experience, this has cost us dearly. Dont even go there if youre reading this

First class parcel collected on time
