I usually use MyHermes to send packages, but they dont do anything over 15kg. I did a quick Google and Parcel Monkey came up. Brilliant price and collected the next day!

Not the cheapest but the best service and most reliable.

Its a very good idea, but Im not sure why the quoted price for a package is so different from the actual price - quoted about £12, it came to over £30. The person who received the package said it arrived damaged. Not a fan of having to wait in between 8am-6pm for pickup.

Easy website to use, plenty of choice, cheap prices - Excellent all round
Will use again.

Initially, Parcel Monkey seemed to be easy to use and good value, BUT... First problem - the box in which to input the pickup and delivery addresses on their website are ridiculously short. I have a normal-length address and could not fit all the characters in the box. I think the limit is 9?? Secondly, I tried to change the delivery address - queue many, many emails. More incorrect addresses etc etc. Thirdly, the pickup was made by the courier (DPD, who I actually rate) and then PM then contacted me to say the pickup would be made the next day. All very confusing. And on. And on... Not great, although my item did eventually get delivered, it took a lot of emails backwards and forwards...

Had a great experience with parcel monkey, hope they will keep the service as it is cause its just brilliant. I recommend it to anyone who needs to send quickly stuff nationally or abroad. I have sent boxes from uk to italy without any issue. Thank you parcelmonkey ! ;)

Was a bit unsure at 1st using a courier I hadnt heard of. I wanted to send a 22kg guitar amplifier from the UK to Germany. Quotes from other companies were extortionate, but the quote from parcel mokey was very very competitive.
It was picked up in Northern Ireland on a Monday and arrived safe and sound in Germany on Wednesday.
Would definitely use the service again.

Unlike another parcel company which was hard to use and contact, Parcel Monkey gave a quick - efficient - and easy to use service. Will use again and recommend them.

Picked up on time and delivered safely on time

easy website, good prices, delivered within time frame quoted

Just a simple straight talking no nonsense does what it says service like the fact it emails me to tell me when it going to be delivered - if the client calls and chases me I know a time slot and boom its sorted !

Wont be using again. Parcel was meant to be collected on the Monday, didnt get picked up until Wednesday. I had to chase for an explanation and apology. They dont have a contact number so had to do this through their chat forum which I personally didnt like. Didnt receive some sort of compensation for the delay.

Happy with the service, most defiantly and highly recommended

The delivery was easy to set up online with various options for the date of pick-up and delivery. I had to get the parcel collected from my work address as there was no way of knowing what time of day it would be collected, but that was not really a problem. It arrived safely.

My delivery was a day late which annoyed my important client which is bad for my reputation. The tracking is all automated so I had no idea what to tell my client about where their package was and the parcel monkeys live chat was totally not helpful on the day my parcel was missing being told-its loaded for delivery 3 times doesnt help me . Parcel forces automated tracking info is just frustrating. A humans voice would have been more helpful I feel.

Parcelforce lost my parcel, told me lots of different stories about where it was. It was finally found and delivered 3 days late to a very unhappy customer
21/09/15
Better than expected service, delivered before time. Well done. Will use again.
21/09/15
Had to wait in until 4.30 for collection, however large parcel was collected from London and delivered to a Scotland address 3 days later for £13, including insurance - very impressed

Absolutely brilliant service. Cannot believe that you can send a large parcel from the UK on a Monday and it arrives in Canada on the Thursday! Brilliant. Very competitive prices also. Well done.
20/09/15
everything was perfect they pick up the parcel on time and it arrived a day before it was supposed to arrive.
Thank you

Easy to use website. Fast service. Beats going to the Post Office!

Initial price quoted on the site was wrong. Good accurate communication for collection. Bitter upset at delivery end as Israeli courier now wants an additional £30 to deliver.
20/09/15
Does exactly as it says
20/09/15
Site is very easy to use and there were no problems with pick up or delivery.
20/09/15
Parcel force was a day late after you sent me a reminder text to say they where coming to collect. This meant I had to take time off work to wait for parcel as it was an important parcel for the receiver. Comments please

Does not always point you to the least expensive courier, but as long as you have an idea of things in your head I guess its useful enough. My concern is that sometimes you could end up paying more than might be possible.

Parcel force did not put all of the address on their label. The agent in Bulgaria could not deliver to the right address. The receiver had to make a special journey to collect the parcel from the agent. I will not use them again. I will stick to Courier they always get it right.

Late delivery. Causing my self and my customer agitation !! Extra cost and time of tracking and telephone calls to discover the where abouts of the parcel. Late delivery caused embarrassment to my self and the loss of confidence in my contract with my customer. A 48 hour delivery was purchased and a 60 hour service was delivered.
20/09/15
Bad service always delay
19/09/15
Was worried when I dropped of my parcel at a designated shop as they said I didnt need any paper work or to sign anything, but the parcel arrived at the destination 2 days later, and I was kept up to date with where it was and and exact hour slot of when it was to be delivered. Couldnt be happier.
