Plugged a search enquiry into Google for a parcel delivery from Sussex to Scotland and it came up with Parcelmonkey offering a keen quote. Parcelmonkey is a meta-site choosing from several carriers automatically. The carrier executing the quote was actually DPD, a company that offers parcel drop off at a chosen location, in my case the local Sainsburys. Delivery all good with one proviso: parcelmonkey tracking didnt work but DPDs own online tracking was excellent. I will use DPD directly next time.

Didnt have my choice of carrier initially offered (DPD) once I entered details, although I know they also offer the service. However Parcelforce are good quality and I accepted that choice from the final shortlist.

Disgraceful company when comes to compasation. Item was lost , even though they asked you too pay an extra fee for compensation and did not compensate me. After 2 months of "investigation" they conclude that I am not entitle to compensation, even though when you book the service a quick yellow message pops and ask you to ckeck if it is on compasation list. My item was liable to compensation if it was under £250 , which was. Today a got a "copy and pass" message full of apologise but NO COMPENSATION. I wonder how did they get some good review. Possible from someone that havent had use or have had problems. Not person to talk to just a loads of online messages exchange. If you want to loose money if your item is lost, just go ahead and use it.

Sent parcel uk to Netherlands parcel force international priority for a fraction of what it would have cost me directly from Royal Mail website or post office . Booking with parcel monkey was straight forward and service was as advertised . This is about 6 th time used them always good no problems .

Despite paying a premium, Parcel Force took 5 hours to pick up on Friday and the parcel wasnt delivered until the following Tuesday. Note, the courier said that they tried to deliver Monday and had to take back to the depot, however, the recipient that they could not understand why as there were personnel on site at the time.

Parcels from Edinburgh (Scotland) to Gdynia (Poland). Pick up on time by courier (DPD) & Delivered as expected on time with no problems. Parcels tracked all the way. Excellent service at a good price.
01/07/16 by K Ogilvy
Really easy service to use and very convenient! Also a lot cheaper than many of the other comparison companies and couriers direct! Will definitely use again!

Picked up on time delivered on time.
01/07/16 by Customer carl
I never knew this existed This has made my life a lot easier when it comes to sending parcels. Door to door no more messing around trying to get the items to the post office. No more waiting in cues everything is done on line when you open an account.
The only thing i would like is a time slot or a txt message service to say your driver is on his way.
01/07/16 by Mr DLM
Very efficient, but wish the tracking was more informative. Would liked to have known when my parcel was in the air flying.
01/07/16 by CustomerTracy
one of worst company poor customer service no phone support, online support very slow, dont refund for returned parcel since it was their fault, thinking now should think about their name first before using them parcel MONKY
01/07/16 by nida
Our Response: Dear Nida
Sorry to hear about your issue, as we do not handle the goods we would need to look into why this was returned by the courier. Live Chat and email support need the details to be provided back from the carrier, hence we use online customer support rather than putting customers on hold during lengthy phone calls.
Apologies for the inconvenience caused
Kind regards
James
My parcel was collected when they said it would and delivered the same day. Very pleased with the service. I would recommend this company and use it again

Its a no brainer just book with them
30/06/16 by Customer
We are a small business, shipping samples but not sending enough goods to want to go all out and sign a contract with a courier company. Parcel monkey is PERFECT for us; small stuff, huge stuff, national and international... We use it all the time and have never been let down at all. Personally I find the service absolutely great. ( And we are living/ working in the absolute sticks... The service is still great. Quality couriers like DPD, DHL and Parcelforce are available through the website... It shows.)
30/06/16 by Dana Baker
Sent a 7kg parcel to Rochdale from Chelmsford. This was the first time Id used Parcel Monkey. Its a quick and simple service and cost around 40% less than Parcelforce. Its easy to track and arrived on the next working day. Cant really ask for more.
30/06/16 by Paul
Parcel monkey is so easy use, straight forward and reliable.
30/06/16 by Lisa
A truly excellent experience. Collected on time delivered on time. You can track its progress and its so reasonably priced.
Will use again.
30/06/16 by David
I had my reservations at first because of the price, I thought whats the catch but the catch is there is no catch. I sent one box of 7.2kg and another a few days later at 12.3kg to the Czech Republic. Both boxes arrived in the 3 days the monkey quoted. The only hold up was the operator in the post office who couldnt work the computer to check the parcel in! But once she overcame her incompetence it was all plane sailing. Nothing was damaged, nothing went missing, all was trackable what more could you ask for.
Long live the parcel monkey.
