All went well and at a very good price. IF I had oneniggle, it would help if the collection slot was narrowed down to a few hours rather than waiting in all day, otherwise all good.

Loved the picking up system with the text to my phone. Package arrived quick, service was not expensive.

The DPD delivery through parcel monkey is advertised as a next day delivery service. On the day of the drop off, I took the package to the first pick up location but the staff did not know what they were meant to do with the parcel. They asked "what are we supposed to do with this and do you have a receipt with instructions?" Hey? I retrieved the package and went straight away to another pick up point who proceeded to start a new order with another courier because they were also not aware that DPD were supposed to collect from them. Eventually the manager got involved and showed the staff how to input the parcel into the DPD system so that the collection request can be activated. Immediately after, the status of the parcel was showing on the DPD tracking service as accepted. Two days later and the parcel was still at the drop off point. In the end it did get delivered on the third day after posting. NOT a NEXT DAY service then. Very POOR.

I investigated the cost of sending a 2.5 kg parcel to Australia and decided on Parcel Monkey as they were £10 cheaper than Parcelforce. The service suffered when DPD failed to notify us as promised when they would be collecting the parcel,they eventually turned up at 1530hrs after my wife waited in and our dog missed a morning walk. Sort that out and you get 5stars. P.S. The promise was delivery in 6 days to Australia so it looks like a broken promise by how much I dont yet know.

Great, simple, convenient. Pick up by DPD was on time and the 1-hour collection window was advised in advance. Parcel tracking all of the way to its destination. What more could anyone want?
22/11/15
I like that you can compare prices before purchase. Great service would use again

Collected parcel on a Monday afternoon and it was delivered first thing Tuesday morning. Couldnt have gone any better.

It was my first experience of using parcel monkey and although I messed up my collection they were very helpful and considerate organising a collection for the following day. They also sent multiple reminders via text and email.
The only thing that stopped me giving a fantastic 5 star rating was that I was contacted by email before my collection, to tell me my parcel was on the way, which was confusing. I assumed they meant they were confirming collection. Also I understood I would get a text just prior to pickup which I did, but it was a standard collection message for that day, not a "we will be with you shortly" message. But otherwise no complaints

Posted a parcel to Melbourne Aus and was delivered within a week of it being collected, Better than any other parcel service for speed and delivery. Will definitely use again.
21/11/15
Another brilliant delivery to Australia. Thank you.
21/11/15
I ordered the service on the net, which was very easy and price was very affordable
I was provided with several parcel dropping point (shops)
I printed the delivery label and placed it on the parcel. I dropped it and was given a tracking number
Parcel was delivered the two days later
I will definitely use them again

All worked very smoothly and will happily use Parcel Monkey again. Website could do with some improvement.
21/11/15
The service itself is excellent!! The first parcel I sent with them, they text to say when it would be delivered.
Would use again, but would not use the same drop off shop again.
Owner was very rude
21/11/15
I arranged next delivery and some items had not been delivered for 3 days 😕
21/11/15
Very easy to arrange and very efficient pickup. Delivered on time the following day as stated.
21/11/15
Prices were very reasonable, and it was easy to book,
It would be handy to have a two or three hour window specified for collection - I cant always stay in all day waiting.
How the parcel industry works is baffling - DX were far cheaper than Parcelforce, so I booked with them, but it was the same very pleasant and helpful driver from Parcelforce who frequently delivers to me who collected!

Good, useful service which Ive used more than once.
One minor quibble is that the website isnt always as easy to navigate as youd like - when I couldnt log in, there was no option to reset my password and then when my partner tried to say she was a new user, it still kept complaining that her password was incorrect (even though she was clicking the "New account" button.
But that aside, its a good service which Ill continue to use.

Parcel collected and delivered when projected.
No hidden costs.
A trusted courier service.
21/11/15
Was easy to book and pay for, no complications. Parcel was collected on the day specified and a receipt issued, it arrived at its destination two days later, in good condition.

I dropped off a parcel at our local newsagent for collection by DPD on Friday 14 November. The parcel was not collected until Tuesday 18 November and only delivered on Thursday 18 November - all this on a next working service. When I tried to check progress I found I could not log into the tracking software. In the end I had to telephone Parcel Monkey and the operative admitted he did not where the parcel. To be fair he did take steps to find out where my parcel was and notified me but only after I had to check with the addressee. The organisation seemed to be chaotic - I was very disappointed with the service.

Brill from start to finish. Best price too!
