Parcel force 48 took 4 days to deliver - not acceptable in my view

Finally a postal service which guarantees delivery in Europe and promptly. Slightly more expensive than Royal Mail - but worth the security of knowing itll get there and not be sent back!

The service was perfect, from start too end, prices are fantastic, pick up of parcel quick and delivery on time , good job will use again and would highly recommend Parcel Monkey.

The telescope tripod body suffered damaged during shipping. It was encapsulated in bubble warp. For some reason the delivery company decided to git it rough handling without due respect and care.

They collect the parcel from your home and find the cheapest rate for you.

I got the quote with Parcelforce, filled all the required fields just to find out in the end Parcel Monkey is unable to send my item as these are alloy wheels & tyres which are on their prohibited item list... I can send Alloy Wheels with Parcelforce through any other company but not with Parcel Monkey for some reason! Unreasonable Prohibited list that needs updating! They list pretty much every car part in there. Shame Shame Shame

Our Response: Hello Joanna
Sorry to hear about this issue, we have a prohibited items list to ensure items that we cannot cover are not sent as we do not want them to get damaged and the customer to be out of pocket. Alloys and tyres are assumed to be pressurised so we cannot carry these as it is dangerous and could damage other items in transit with them. You can send alloys on our services as long as they are well packaged and the dimensions are declared accurately.
Kind regards
James
It was great service

Had a heavy item to collect from approx 200 miles away. Went on Parcel Monkey website and was amazed at how user friendly it was! No fuss, nothing complicated, all very straight forward and so cheap! My item was collected and the courier already had a preprinted label ready to stick on the parcel so had no fuss. Delivered early the following morning. Faultless. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Parcelforce collection and delivery was convenient and efficient, at a good price through Parcel Monkey. The process for booking is straightforward. Have used Parcel Monkey before and will do again.

No problems encountered.

Couldnt believe how quickly the parcel was delivered.
08/08/16 by Customer
Fast delivery and reasonable cost, but both times the tracking information has not updated at all and caused a problem as I was returning an item for refund and the seller wanted the tracking info first.

This is the second and last time I will use Parcel Monkey. Webpage sucks you in with a cheap quote then when you put all your details in you find the first quoted price will increase. Then once I had paid I waited a couple of hours for the label to appear, never came so I had to contact PM via live chat, was told there is a problem with system which is why I didnt get the label, funny cos I had exactly the same problem the first time I used them and was told the same thing. I send 15-20 parcels a week so think I have a rough idea of how this should work, PM you need to pull your socks up if you think you can compete with other sites out there. You just lost me as a customer Im afraid ????.

Our luggage arrived promptly and in one piece

Under £10 for return of very large parcel . Took to nearest uplift shop , then text updates to say it was delivered - 1 day service. Refund was in account within the week .
Excellent service at a reasonable cost , with the bonus of dropping the parcel at my convenience rather than having to stay at home . Would use again & recommend .

Pick up was good , tracking all ok but then it wasnt delivered due to not being able to find the address , was then told by the depot that the drivers dont go down small country tracks
07/08/16 by Daniel
Driver never showed up. Wasted a whole day waiting for the parcel to be collected. Phoned Parcel Force who told me they had come round at 2 to pick it up. I was in the whole day, no one showed up. I had to carry the large heavy package by hand to the nearest depot in the rain as I couldnt waste another day waiting for them to pick it up.

Our Response: Dear Customer
Sorry to hear the courier you choose on quote engine failed to make the collection, we do not come to pick the items up ourselves as we are a reseller. If they fail to collect please log in to your account and let us know the order number and we will be happy to help.
Kind regards
James
My parcels were split up and delivered randomly over the course of two weeks. Still waiting on my last box... Have contacted customer service, still no response or solution. When they finally arrived, the boxes were all bashed up and some of my books were ruined.
