I bought an item from an on line auction which was a collect in person as it was quite a distance from where I live I thought I would try a courier company.
I had heard of Parcel Monkey from a work colleague so I thought I would give them a go, glad I did. Details to put in are easy to do and there is not a huge amount to fill in, it gives you a choice of what kind of service you want and the various prices.
I found it TROUBLE FREE and the cost was less than my fuel would have been and I saved my time as well. Excellent

My first time using the service went very well. Booked a parcel collection for a parcel of substantial weight before 9am and the parcel was collected from my home by 12:15am by Parcelforce, who labelled it and sent it on. It reached the recipient before 9:15am the next day, all for under £15. So far, I cant fault the service, as even signing up for an account and creating a delivery was fast and efficient.

I had no problems with Parcel Monkey. Very simple to use! But parcelforce damaged my TV but I guess it is my own fault for choosing them!!!

Reasonable prices and easy to use. Its a shame Halfords are no longer a drop-off point and I had to travel further afield but still Id still recommend.

Easy to use & cheaper than Royal Mail.

After two weeks I got an email to say my parcel was beeing returned for a breach of T & cs. There is/was mothing inside my parcel that warranted return. Very dissapointed in their service. Another £30 + £33 for postage wasted. Sure looks like a scam to me. Beware

Our Response: Good evening,
Your item was declared as a "Falkland Island gift" and rejected by the courier you selected for onward transportation.
We are not a scam or else we would not have traded for over 7 years and have the kind of positive reviews you see on here if we were.
I created an account, booked two parcels for international shipping and got them collected in less than 48 hours. The packages arrived three days before estimation, unharmed and in perfect condition. Would recommend to anyone.

I have used Parcel Money on more than three times over the last 6 months. However, the last parcel which I sent to India never arrived. Mid way they chose to use DPD Couriers and my parcel still remained undelivered. As my parcel was being sent to a school for young poor children, there were plenty of warm clothes ready for the winter. My parcel this time was a lot bigger therefore, I chose to take out the extra insurance as a contingency. I have been having over 7 different thread conversations online with Parcel Monkey since Wed 1st June 2016. My situation still remains unresolved and my thread conversation now I am being told is out of date. What a bunch on monkeys, DO NOT USE PARCEL MONKEY! Worst customer service ever. Poor, unprofessional service.....

Our Response: Dear Chodak,
Thanks for taking the time to review, the customer choose which carrier they want to book with so you would of selected DPD to carry your parcel to India.
Please raise a ticket on your account with the PM order number and put FAO Manager so we can look into this and see why it is yet to be delivered.
Kind regards
James
Ive used Parcel Monkey before but this was by far the best and easiest. They have simplified their paperwork too which helps immensely. I had a large shipment delivered from Scotland to California in just 5 days. Will continue to use them without fail!

Very quick and intact - thank you. Izzi innes

Excellent service, I paid for the DHL 1-3 day service - collection was very efficient and professional on the appointed day. Delivery was made 2 days after collection and the courier delivery in Ukraine was excellent, considerate and flexible. I would use this again when speedy and efficient delivery are vital. Thank you.

Package dropped off at local collection point after speaking to the agent beforehand on morning of Sat 20 August. Agent assured me it would be collected by 1pm that day. Actually picked up Mon 22 August as agent unaware dpd does not collect from such collection points on Saturdays.

Large parcel sentvia Parcel Force. Parcel Monkey kept me informed all the way and responded quickly to my texts. Very reliable and accesddible. Would definitely use them again
27/08/16 by Lydia Wells
International parcel, paid for a fully tracked service, nearly 2 months later still no tracking info since it left the UK. the "customer service" department just keep blaming the courier & seem to accept no responsibility for the failure to provide the service that they happily took my money for. Now they are saying that their complaints process takes a month - AVOID This company if you actually want your parcel to arrive!
27/08/16 by Neil Brown
Our Response: Dear Neil
Sorry to hear of this issue, we do not handle the items as a reseller so we have to wait for the courier company to come back to us with the information regarding your item. Please alert our team via a support ticket and this can be passed to the claims team who can assist from there.
Kind regards
James
Did not receive the confirmation email they said would arrive 30mins later and took payment regardless. Had to pay again in he post office as they had no recollection of it being on the system. Would not recommend.
27/08/16 by Customer
Our Response: Hello
Emails can take up to 20 mins to come through with the label as the courier will need to verify the addresses. Once this is done they are emailed out and can also be located on your account dashboard. You will need to print and attach this label so the Post Office can see you have paid. Please let us know if you have not used the service, via a support ticket, so we can cancel and refund your order.
Kind regards
James
Cant fault except didnt get email with instructions how to attach label

I have used Parcel Monkey several times and they have always been the most reliable and the most competitively priced. A firm favourite. There are many similar services out there but yet to find one that delivers the service like Parcel Monkey.

We send 30/40 letters / cards a year to this address , Parcel monkey you had 1 job and you failed . Wont use again

Our Response: Good morning Customer,
According to the tracking links that are visible to you via your account, DPD were unable to deliver on August 24th and have requested further instructions from the receiver.
If the receiver provides these then the item will be delivered by DPD and then maybe you could adjust your review of Parcelmonkey Ltd??
Kind Regards,
Matt
