Parcel Monkey looks at various couriers and shows you the various prices and service levels. I wanted to send something quickly with tracking and signature on delivery. Picked ParcelForce from the offerings. Package was picked up later that same day and delivered the next.

Great service, economical in comparison to other providers.
Updates at key points of the process.

Only improvement I would suggest is to provide a time slot for collection

Just a long wait till 5pm. I was alone and needed to take a pm nap. Otherwise fine

Great value, easy to use and super efficient - even sends you a message when the parcel is delivered, showing the recipients signature.

These guys know what theyre doing and managed to offer me a significant saving from using the provider directly. I highly recommend their service.

I booked for 24hr delivery, it took 3 days. I could have sent by my usual courier for half the price!

Friendly collection and fragile parcels arrived perfectly

sent out on a Thursday, using parcel monkey for less than £11.00 via parcelforce. The same service direct with parcelforce was £14+. Tracked on Friday and shipped to wrong hub. Parcel Monkey did not offer any assistance just passing my colleague onto parcelforce. Get what you pay for is a general rule of life. I would not say as the stars would suggest "friction" just a melancholy attitude.

Said the parcel would be delivered between 1-2 days. Posted Tuesday.... Not delivered until the following Tuesday. Parcel monkey is a great site, Im just not using DPD again.

They shouldnt give a time gap for collection so that you can do other things, when they dont actually stick to it at all

I use Parcel Monkey for my business. It is cheap and reliable. I dont use any other courier service anymore as this one is the best Ive found.

Tried to send the same parcel twice with Parcel Monkey, they have had the parcel for a combined total of 9 weeks and both time tell me the courier has sent it to the wrong country and they need to send it back to me first to resend again. Cant just correct their own mistake. Dont waste your time or effort with them...

Good service. Would be even better if you received a text informing you of the estimated collection time.

Parcelforce 48 paid for and it took 6 days!

The service was quick,e easy and was delivered in good time. The item being sent was also in good shape given that it was a T.V

We sent 6 boxes to Portugal. One made it the rest have been lost in the uk and no one will take responsibility for them or help recover them.

I put the order in about 10pm, it was collected about the next day and I was updated daily about the whereabouts of my parcel and it arrived in France 2 days later as promised. I could not have asked for a better service and all for a great price.

Reliable, fast.

Easy to track, door to door service. Will use again.

Use parcel monkey for any items I might need to send to ebayers or returns. A little tricky to use sometimes but the prices are great and the aftercare is good if you need some help.

Automatic email promised action within 30 minutes to assign a courier but nothing ever happened. Support email the following day not answered. Overall experience far more uncertain than it should have been.
04/04/16 by Shady Creek
Delivery was not on time despite paying for 48 hour service which was not cheap for a heavy parcel! Contacted them and nothing was done and was told I would be contacted back but heard nothing at all!
04/04/16 by Danielle
The arrangements in the UK were fine, pick-up was good, but the French side left the parcel in a depot in the nearest town - they didnt deliver to the house.....

forget tarzan the monkeys are faster through the trees

Perhaps this company worked at some point but it does not anymore. Ordered a fairly expensive and heavy collection for the next day, no one turned up to pick it up, no contact number only online chat where no one can actually help other then to re-book for another day or refund. I opted to refund as I couldnt chance it not being collected again (as many people complain of!) so I ended up paying almost £100 to send via special delivery instead. Over a week later and still no refunded. Contacted today they said they will refund it eventually. Gee THANKS! When you get a spare second that would be great!

Fantastic service. Quick and reliable. Have used them a number of times now and rate the service very highly.

The service I received from Parcel Monkey was excellent. Both collection and delivery were on time and the price was very competitive
I will certainly use them again
