Delivery was stated to arrive on 24/12 Xmas eve but it only arrived on Tuesday 29/12. Disappointed this being my first experience with company.

Booking the courier was inceredibly easy and they did try to deliver on Christmas Eve so it was express but they delivered the parcel to someone else, who was happy to sign for it. The courier didnt leave an attempted delivery card at the recipients address so I had to tell her about the delivery. She went to the person who had signed for the parcel and they denied having it, so my friend and godson didnt receive their Christmas gifts. Understandably Im not happy.

I use them quite often and had a bad experience with the yodel driver, parcelforce and dpd are really good

Having had some serious issues with Parcel2Go and DPD (who are the most utterly inept company Ive ever had the misfortune of dealing with) I gave Parcel Monkey a try. The entire experience was seamless and very easy to get collection ordered. Collection happened as advertised and my parcel got there when it said it would - A complete turn around from my last horrible experience using P2G and DPD.

Used a number times now. Good service. Like the options to use different carriers based on your requirements. Its also much cheaper than Parcelforce for overseas and heavier/larger UK items. Highly recommend.

Really great service,cant fault it! Parcel was picked up in Glasgow and delivered next day to my brother in a pretty rural part of Wales in all in time for Christmas! Will definitely use again.

My parcel was delivered to Taraz in Kazakhstan, which is 400km from the actual delivery address - Courier refused to deliver it any further. The recipient of the parcel had to drive up to pick it up. This is unacceptable and not the service I paid for, so I will be claiming for a complete refund from the Parcel Monkey.

Easy process and well priced

On the website they will promote attractive prices. Chose to use ParcelForce through Parcelmonkey, was disapointed with both. My parcel is still missing somewhere.

I am in Canada and I had to organize a pickup for two tires in the UK to be delivered to a friend there. I was able to use Parcel monkey to get a good quote and have the parcel label downloaded as a PDF which I then emailed to the seller. Due to the Christmas Holidays (2015) there was a slight delay in delivery, but in the end the two tires were delivered with no problems. Very stress free way of doing things.

simple,no problems

I like that I can choose to take my parcel to a delivery service or have a service collect. Plenty of services to choose from and is so easy to use.

Their customer service team really struggle to speak English, giving a very unprofessional impression when dealing via email. Parcel Monkey act as an intermediary, which is a fundamental problem with their entire business model, as the actual courier cannot then speak to the sender (me), because as far as they are concerned the sender is in fact Parcel Monkey. The problem is that you have to communicate with the courier via Parcel Monkey only, who are grossly incompetent, making effective communication very difficult. My parcel has still not arrived 1 month after sending, with an initial estimated delivery time of 3-5 days. Parcel Monkey say they cant help and the courier say they will only speak to Parcel Monkey.

Very happy, thank you

Just waiting for an answer; no idea of where my two boxes are.
29/12/15
Very smooth, dropped off the parcel at my local pharmacy and away it went and was recieved before Christmas. The only minor thing i would improve upon is that the form gave me the impression the parcel was being collected.
29/12/15
The collection of the parcel (from England) was on-time, and the delivery (to Germany) was on-time as well. The parcel of Christmas presents was delivered in excellent condition. An excellent service for a very good price, would use again for sure

I have paid Parcel Monkey £100 to send a parcel to Germany. My parcel has still not been collected and my customer is complaining they have received a chocolate bar instead of a Rolls Royce Grill!?!?!?!?!?! I have written a complaint email which I am awaiting a reply, as my parcel has not yet been collected, instead I get a survey asking about the service received!?! Please can Parcel Monkey call me today to resolve this issue! Richard Evans 01223 263911 29/12/2015

Easy process and only reservation was the delay between paying and being able to access the postage label.

Have family abroad and always seem to have problems posting parcels there, especially around christmas! But no problems with parcel monkey, brilliant price. Clear instructions on what to do and dpd collected it from my door and it was delivered on time and I was able to track it the whole way, they even sent updates to the recipient. Will defiantly use again :)
29/12/15
What else can I say, they came, they collected, they delivered.... all within 24 hours.... and at a price that did not break the bank.
29/12/15
Everything went really smoothly - it was collected on date specified - I was kept informed and it arrived safely in 4-5 days as promised. Really pleased!
29/12/15
Delivered ahead of schedule. Would definitely recommend. 10/10.

It was disappointing, having not done this before, to wait in for the 3 days before Christmas only to get an email each day saying that I had requested a rearranged collection, I did not. I understand that it was Christmas but Parcel Monkey should not have agreed to do the job if they were not able to fulfil the contract.

This is the third time I try to send my parcel with this company without any success. First time the driver didnt even find my parcel and left without even trying to call me. Second time he found the two parcels I wanted to send than he said to the guy at the reception that he has just one booked in his system even though I paid for two and decided to not to take them at all. Again the phone number was clearly stated on the label and he suppose to have it his system as I gave all the details what the company was asking for during the booking. Also I cant understand why the label that I suppose to glue on the parcel arrives just few hours or sometimes minutes before the driver arrives. Me as I am working in the night and sleep during the morning period find it extremely uncomfortable that I am expected to watch my email permanently in order to put the label on the parcel before the driver arrives. When I could do that without any problem a day before.

Very pleased with the service

Even though the parcels were collected late in the day, they still arrived the following day from Kent to Watford & Harrogate respectively.
