The website guided you well to making sure where your parcel was coming from and going too, as well as packaging it. The delivery we allowed and day or two longer due to the opening times of the parcel office receiving and the part of the country in Europe it was going to and recently becoming popular way of delivering.

i really like using your website but it makes me nervous how slow it is to print off the scanning label once it have been processed. i always think i have been ripped off, because i have to wait at least 15 minutes if not more. other vendors are a lot quicker

What would be useful is time of collection as I waited in nearly all day, even a ballpark est would be useful. Would use again tho.

great service....the fact that drivers label item themselves is an absolute godsend...most ebay sellers will not/cannot print labels...this service s a huge plus for buyers on ebay

Service was really great ! no damage , package reached safely on time. Feel the tracking status should be improved as it did not show the status accurately

Great service although did not receive texts to mobile phone to update on parcel delivery. Did not put me off as received email when parcel delivered. I love the fact u can drop parcel at our local chemist shop.

Returning parcel from England to Germany. Deliverey was before stated time and I was able to track where my parcel was at anytime throughout the process.

I used this company to book a courier for large heavy car parts bought off eBay. It was easy to book. I had full tracking and the deilivey arrived early the next day after pickup. A really good value service. Highly recommended.

£80 to ship my 30KG package from Edinburgh to Vancouver in under 3 days. It arrived in perfect condition with no custom fees. Ill be using them twice over the next month to complete my move and recommending them to everyone in the future.

The most inefficient service !!! Not able to talk to someone at customer service when things go wrong is a nightmare. Forget about Parcel Monkey and work directly with the courier.

Will definitely use them again and also tell my friends about them.

First Parcel Force did not collect, after Chat messages I got it rebooked for the following day. This time it was collected. I did not get the service I paid for so felt I had a justifiable complaint. Complained to Parcel Farce (deliberate spelling mistake) nothing to do with them they said ? And I would have to contact Parcel Monkey. So again to the only immediate contact you can have with Parcel Monkey, to Chat and the guy I chatted to just did not bother to read my post and yet again rebooked the collection, when I finally got him to understand my issues he said fine I would get a refund and he would cancel the collection. Got an email the following day to tell me I had a collection due, Chatted again and it was seemingly cancelled. Except at half pat three a courier arrived to collect my already delivered parcel. Parcel Monkeys customer service I feel employs monkeys as this was a farce. Sent a written complaint finally.

Ive never sent a parcel by courier so was originally nervous and googling lots of different companies.
Parcel monkey came up a few times and they had the best price for what I wanted-sending a parcel abroad.
Ive been really impressed-2 days to get a parcel collected from the UK and delivered in the Netherlands.
The only downside was their tracking site wasnt as clear as I thought it could have been.

Efficient, worked well.

Parcel Monkey recommended Parcel Force to take my 28kg parcel from South Somerset to the Lake District overnight. Collection was about 1.30pm and the goods got to their destination in just under 24 hours. The charge made was very reasonable and the parcel tracked most of the way. Well done guys.

Great job thanks

I sent a box to Ireland which was easy and quick. I drop off the box in the closest centre and it arrived three days after that. They sent me an email of the expected day and time of arrival!

Was so easy from start to end will use again

I sent a package with Parcel Force via Parcel Monkey using 48hr express delivery. 5 days later and I still havent received my package. When I contacted Parcel Force to enquire where my package was I was directed back to Parcel Monkey who provided me the details I could see already from the online tracker. I am still no clearer what is going on and not happy with service.

I found Parcel Monkey to be the cheapest option, using a comparison site to consider my options. Payment was easy, and there was not huge amounts of info to fill out about the contents.
I logged the weight and size as slightly over what it was, it made about £7 difference to the total than if Id measured accurately, but then it meant I knew they werent going to charge me for the measurements being wrong.
They could not give a collection time so we were expecting between 8am-6pm, however they collected promptly at 9am - ideal!
We did get stung with Customs at the destination, but theres no avoiding that... if there is, let me know! Either way, we paid less in total including Customs than the competitors prices just for postage!
Will definitely use again.
23/01/16
Easy to use and good price

Easy to use and hassle free!

i queried why I had a message advising me of receipt of goods I had despatched. I had no response to this query so I am unhappy about the service I paid for.
22/01/16
Wow what can i say fast reliable and cheap no problem with the delivery on time, no complaints 5 star
22/01/16
This was the first time I have used Parcel Monkey and it will not be the last much cheaper than other carriers and I would definately recommend them. Parcel was quickly and efficiently sent to Belgium, no problems
