Id never heard of Parcel Monkey until I Googled cheap shipping services. I had a suitcase-full of clothes to send to Denmark and PM quoted me less than £17 - far less than I expected and it was even collected from my door. It had to packed in a box - the suitcase was not acceptable - and it reached its destination five days later. Excellent service.

We have had the majority of orders collected and delivered fine, but when there is an issue (Parcelforce not collecting etc) they are not very helpful in their responses. Eg, "we will rebook the collection for tomorrow" instead of calling the courier to find out what is going on.

48 hour parcel force tracked service worked perfectly

Parcel arrived safe and sound in Italy on time. Only had a few problems entering an Italian address in the online form.

Really happy with all my recent experiences. The site is easy to use and the prices competitive.
Good quick delivery with problem free tracking

Used this company to send 2 parcels through parcel force. They lost 1 parcel & I am still trying to get my compensation of £200 from them, they are trying their best to get out of paying asking me for proof of collection & when Ive rang parcel force they said proof is on the website of collection times & tracking, sent this to parcel monkey who now asking for it on headed paper! ABSOLUTE JOKE OF A COMPANY stay well clear

Website easy enough to navigate but Parcelforce not only failed to deliver their 24 service but, one week later, havent responded. The most expensive delivery option failed completely. Id hesitate to use them again and would think twice about Parcelmonkey if its partners are so poor.

This company is awful. They failed two another courier on three separate days. Each day I complained and they rescheduled collection for the next day only to find that they never came. Worst of all is that You have know way of contacting the courier company to find out what went wrong. Shocking service, awful company, never again will I deal with these monkeys!

Good choice of couriers and reasonable prices.
11/05/16 by Roger Blair
What a waste of time....book with the courier direct. If you use them the courier wont deal with any problems direct as the contract is with this joke of an outfit. Also dont believe anything they state on delivery days on their website....the worst is Parcel Force....what a laugh...7 days to the Philippines...they failed by two months! I had to send another parcel by Courier in 5 days. They wont give me any refund or anything....never use again!!!!!
11/05/16 by John
I will certainly use this company again

They make other couriers look 2nd rate...5 star
11/05/16 by Dennis Luckett
I had previously experienced a few problems with using parcel monkey. A failure to collect meant completely rebooking a collection and a wait for reimbursement but my latest experience was a better service without any problems

Good experience at a decent price - bang on time 24 hr pick up & delivery

having waited in ALL day and been let down by another parcel delivery company (who shall remain nameless but Austrian folk singing comes to mind) - I sought refuge in Parcel Monkey and was not disappointed. Collection point very local and transaction was smooth and slick. Before I could track the parcel, it had been delivered and signed for. Happy days!

Everything as you would want. Picked up Friday in the UK arrived Tuesday - no probs with package and item working fine (electrical). Cost extremely reasonable and live help online to change pick up date 10/10

My company uses multiple couriers booked through several sites. In this instance the client we were shipping to provided incorrect delivery details - not our fault, nor that of Parcel Monkey. Parcel Monkey immediately on being informed of this took the view that they were not willing to help redirect or recover the parcel - which is frankly nonsense. To that end I would not recommend using this company - and I certainly will NOT be doing so in future. I am in process of seeking legal advice to recover the loss we have incurred due to their refusal to even accept additional payment to ensure the return or delivery of the parcel. You have been warned.

I must be mad. I think to myself "Maybe theyve improved, lets give them another chance". I had 5 consecutive collections not show up. Different courier services were used and I refuse to believe 3 different carriers were at fault. Its parcel monkey. I just tried them again. Lo and behold, two more consecutive non collections. Yes they refund, but the time wasted is incalculable. Please use another company otherwise you will lose time. And increase your blood pressure unnecessarily.

If something gos wrong your on your own. If you manage to talk to a monkey on their contact us site. You will be hanging around for an hour inbetween each contact and then all you get is apologies. I was on my laptop all day and still never got an answer to what i should do. USELESS

Hi all If you dont want to have the worst courier experience just prevent them.....after they couldnt delivered my item I wanted it back as it didnt happen they literally disposed my parcels....VERY frustrating, this companies which offer services for cheaper, think that they can treat you like you dont have any rights and ignore you..
09/05/16 by Gabor Salamon
I will use them again in the future.

The fact that they are maybe a little cheaper than the rest, doesnt mean that they dont have to deliver the service you pay for! We moved from one country to another and hired their services to send some boxes. the day they have to come to pick them up they didnt come, and they didnt contact us at all to let us know. We have to waste a whole day waiting for them.. We tried to contact them but it was impossible. We sent them many messages in the only way we could, through their website. They didnt reply at all, and next day, they didnt come! We were flying the day after and it was a very stressful situation. We send them messages again, and the only thing they did was copying and pasting a text from their website, so basically they ignored us.. Thankfully a friend of us made us the huge favour of taking all the boxes and taking them to his place, so we needed to change the pick up address. We asked them and of course it took them couple of days to reply, and they said we couldnt do that because the price may change. UNBELIEVABLE! So they dont do their job, and they dont give us any solution whatsoever! We had to cancel the order, and do the whole thing again. We ask them for a compensation for all the inconvenience, for our time, our friends time, the gas of his car (this was in London, so distances are really long), etc.. They ignored us once again and never replied to our complaints. The best thing, is that on top of it, when the boxes came, one of them, a plastic one, which I bought for 16£, came broken.... VERY frustrating, this companies which offer services for cheaper, think that they can treat you like you dont have any rights and ignore you.. Aaaaand now they send me a message saying that our boxes were heavier (I doubt it because we weighted them all before sending), and they took 28£ from my account!!!

Great cheap easy service, would definitely recommend
08/05/16 by Customer
There is one item missing within the box. Unacceptable

Delivered a large caravan awning some 300 miles to the door weighing 20kg for £11, good value.Customer reported no damage;would use again.

How can a company get so many things wrong? Firstly, no e mail arrived so I was unable to print out the labels for my package and had to contact customer services to arrange it. Secondly, the package was to take 2 days to arrive meaning it should have arrived today. Parcel Monkey have no idea where my package is. Thirdly, the tracking number failed to work. finally, I was unable to telephone Parcel Monkey because none of the staff have access to a phone. Advice? Go to a reputable company and leave this Mickey Mouse outfit wither away.

Important parcel sent on 2 day service to Germany through dpd. Inaccurate information from their website and it appears that the service is 5 days and wont be delivered in time. They have shocking customer service, they couldnt give a toss, provide evasive answers, blame others and have a passive wait and see attitude. If you need something done - go direct. I would avoid these guys like the plague, because they simply cant or even worse, wont help when things go wrong and it really matters. OTHERS have mentioned Watchdog and Trading Standards?
06/05/16 by Stuart Ralph
very easy, very quick would use again
05/05/16 by Customer Mrs Veronica Bond
I contacted the PM support team before sending a MAC Book Pro to overseas. PM support team confirmed if it was fine to send overseas. Ended up package is returned because they said Laptop is unsafe to fly which I appreciate but why the support team provided the mislead information at first place. will never use this company again.

I was so happy how fast my large package got to Miami and with no complications! I only wish I had of discovered their delivery service earlier as I had sent many parcels prior directly with the courier companies and paid nearly double of what I had paid with Parcel Monkey - they definitely get the best rate. Highly recommend Parcel Monkey.
