Booked a delivery. All great, put in exact measurements and weight to the nearest gram. When the parcel force courier turned up - this was a bass amp they were collecting, wouldnt take it because it was not parcelled up. A BASS AMP!!!! Heavy and needs the handles showing, tough and not easily damaged. Very disappointed at the service. First I heard about it was on the delivery note saying couldnt collect. Why not state clearly the exact terms for large items. Not clear, not concise enough.

The parcel arrived at a French depot in reasonable time. But it then failed to be delivered because they couldnt find the address. They failed to ring or make any contact. I had to track down the depot. The online tracking does not indicate the depot which it should. When I got to the depot they claimed that the address was hard to find, this is nonsense, its a tiny village, anyone would have pointed them to the house. They also claimed that they did not have the telephone number, but this was clearly printed on the delivery label. The next time Ill stick a map on the parcel.

I used Parcel-Monkey (PM) to send a present to South Africa. PM (as expected) uses third-party courier firms to transport goods abraod. In this case my parcel was passed to DPD. However, it was then passed to another company (Arrowmax) who in turn passed it on to a third (Dawn Wings). Dawn Wings then sent me an invoice for import tax / duty (again this is to be expected). However, so far it has proved impossible to pay this invoice. As a last resort I asked that my parcel be returned. However, Dawn Wings have refused to do so. As things stand I am unable to pay the import duty or have my item returned to me... I paid PM for a service (i.e. to deliver my item). however, they appear to have passed responsibility on so many times that I am unable to get a response as to how to proceed. I advise anyone to deal with the courier firm directly and avoid the draw of saving a couple of pounds by using this Website.

From the easy to use website to the friendly pick up driver to delivery in Canada and the USA the whole experience was 5 star! Well done you guys. And not to mention the service was the cheapest too.

Great, I ordered the 24 hr service..this did mean that the parcels where picked up from there collection point only! I got them the day after! all was fine. will use again in future.

Id never considered using a comparison site for a parcel but the search engine worked well and the fact that the website provides ongoing support for invoices and tracking is a big bonus.

Clear pricing structure on the web site making it easy to choose the appropriate service. Simple to book with instructions on label printing and collection. Very competitive, thoroughly recommend the service.

I sent a parcel from UK to Greece using Parcel Monkey 9 days ago and am still waiting for the parcel or an update on when it will be delivered. I have contacted Parcel Monkey (via chat) twice and theyve promised to update me by email once the Greek courier has replied to them. However two days have passed and Im still none the wiser. My parcel arrived in Greece 5 days ago and seems to be stuck at a sort facility. The Parcel Monkey staff who dealt with me were very helpful and polite but this has not helped me to find out where my parcel is and get a firm delivery date. This seems to be a common problem with Greek couriers used by any delivery service. It seems that you can track a parcel all the way to Greece, but once it arrives here it gets stuck and problems occur. I have put two phone numbers on the parcel so that when the courier arrives at my village I can arrange to meet him and take delivery (there are no street addresses here) but the courier hasnt contacted me and is obviously not replying to Parcel Monkey. I will update this with the outcome when something else happens but so far, I have heard nothing about when my parcel will be delivered.

I feel let down by the service as I sent two parcels to Denmark for my daughters birthday, I paid for a 2 to 3 days delivery which cost more but I wanted it to be there on time. It took 6 DAYS , I AM SO UPSET.

Very good service, fast, efficient and cost effective.

Post office gave me a price of £12 & £15 to deliver two packages Which meant I literally couldnt afford to deliver a couple of lower cost but heavy items. Parcel Monkey did them for £7 and £8 and delivered! Excellent.

..All went well .. thanks

Parcels got collected next day and we got a specific time frame for the collection same for the delivery. Only the delivery man didnt want to bring the parcels up to the flat so a point off for that.
Generally a very good service. Thank you

Good service, easy customer interface and competitive pricing.

Sent a package from UK to Italy. UK side was super smooth, prompt pickup, good communication, excellent tracking info. Only slight glitch was that Italian courier (BRT) was a bit slow to deliver.

A good service that does what it says on the tin, well done and thanks.

had to send a 4kg parcel to Austria and found the best price via Parcel Monkey. Easy to use website and good service.
24/02/16
Great comparison meant I got the best price, then good communication when the delivery address was queried, so I cant fault the service.
Much better and easier than approaching couriers direct.

Parcel Monkey are a shambles.They accepted my order to Luxembourg but failed to send a shipping label. It turned out the standard L-XXXX postcode format didnt work in their system, but there is no notification to tell you that. The agent said the next day she re-entered the order and I still didnt get the label and missed another day. Then at 9 AM this morning, they say the earliest they can collect - from Central London is TOMORROW!
24/02/16
The website said 2 days to deliver my parcel. In the end it took over 6 days.
24/02/16
Really easy to place an order for multiple packages, and more flexible in regards to size / weight than a lot of their competitors. Will use Parcel Monkey for all my deliveries going forward.
24/02/16
Great value shipping options and always extremely prompt customer repsonse. Cant fault them!

please contact me regards compensation for these damaged goods

Last year, I paid for a large parcel to be shipped to Scotland. It vanished despite tracking. Clearly stolen but no help from Parcel Monkey. Just emails saying sorry, go through our extremely convoluted claim process designed carefully to put you off bothering. Left it a year, tried again. Bad move. Booked a service off their website, parcel to Canaries. Paid and parcel collected. Some considerable time later, message saying that they cant deliver unless I pay more money! Told them it was their problem and they should get it delivered. Zero response to that. Buyer in Canaries now wants to cancel. Message back to Monkey and same response, cant deliver. Totally disgraceful behaviour so its litigation time, sadly.

Couldnt be better: easy to use site, all the various options for parcel services there in front of you to choose. The price seemed very competitive (I thought Parcel Force would have been much more expensive). Pick up delivery just as said. Will definitely use again.

Took parcel to local pick-up. Collected and delivered in good time. On this basis, excellent service.
24/02/16
Lost parcel of contents worth over £100 I allowed a couple of weeks extra for parcel to arrive as it fell over the Christmas period, after a month of chasing and never receiving an answer. Finally got told the parcel was lost and I cant claim as it falls outside the T&Cs Cannot speak with anyone, its all done over IM. Finally received money back for initial postage but PM couldnt even tell me who the courier was. I enden up with a disappointed family in OZ with no gifts received. Rude, pathetic, appauling service!!!
24/02/16
Everything arrived safely and perfectly on time with no issues.
Thank You Parcel Monkey, excellent job.

Ive sent a parcel to Romania and after 3 weeks I still got no answer, no tracking or anything ... The parcel was supposed to arrive at the destination in 6-8 days and they say you can track the parcel but the only information available was that the parcel left UK on the 09.02.2016
