I had made cakes for my nephew who is severely underweight with cystic fibrosis and diabetes. I am disabled and on that day could not get it to him so decided a courier was the best way. The hospital agreed they would get cake to him if dropped at reception. This was all done within a few hours and the driver even said he would put the tin on the passenger seat. A great service and the cheapest I could find. Thank you

Found through Google search and found the website easy to navigate and book a collection and delivery through an established courier (parcel force). Not much communication (e.g. Courier on the way, item collected, item will be delivered at x time etc.) which is why I cant give 5 stars.
To improve I would suggest an up to date tracking system.

The online registration was easy and taking the parcel to the nearest delivery point was no problem. Everybody seemed to know what they were doing. Ill do that again.

Large bulky parcel collected as arranged and delivered as promised. I cant say much more really, it was like clockwork. I would recommend tham on this basis.

I sent a large box to Bulgaria for our grand daughters birthday. Although it arrived a couple of days later than the 5 it stated I am very pleased with the service. Having lived in Bulgaria I know the postage system there.
Will definitely use them again.

The whole thing went EXACTLY as arranged and went flawlessly!

As this parcel delivery was costing 75% less than my traditional method I was a wee bit wary. However, not only did I not need to take it anywhere, it was collected exactly when I expected and arrived at its destination within 3 days of this. (Again, much earlier than using traditional method.) If prices stay as low as this, I will definitely be using Parcel Monkey again.

I am delighted with the recent service received from DPD via Parcel Monkey. My collector was extremely friendly and picked-up the parcel in the hour time slot given to me and my parcel arrived in Australia in less than a week. Regards from a very happy customer.

We live a mile from the tarmac road in the north east of Scotland and had a bulky parcel to be collected. Parcel Monkey performed brilliantly in organising a collection by the postie who then handed it on to the carrier. Nicely done.

Terrible service from Parcel Monkey, advised on fragile goods and paid for insurance neither of which have been honoured. Not recommended! Should have used the Post Office, at least they care about their customers
19/08/15
Excellent service and communication from both Parcel Monkey and DPD, I would have no hesitation in using the service again.
19/08/15
Disaster all three parcels damaged, arrived looking like they fell of the back of their lorry, a total disgrace, will never use again.
19/08/15
easy simple and it works

Parcel monkey offers rates that arent available directly from carriers. They offer easy payment services and have a decent website to navigate.
My only gripe is the login system which appears to need me to recover my password almost every time I use the site with a gap of more than a month or so. Irritating, but manageable.

First time i used them to send a parcel to china and it would be the last time! apparently the custom invoice got missing on the way and the parcel was sent back to the depot. i even asked the driver to see if the invoice where i Attached was ok and he said spot on! now to send it back they guy on the live chat said i will have to pay more money in order to that even though i had the invoice attached and they lost it. so have to wait till the depot manger gets in touch with me and tells me how much i need to pay for them to reprint the invoice and attach it!

Great service and price comparison in the parcel sending minefield.
19/08/15
I dont have the parcel. You tried twice to deliver it and I missed you, then I requested another delivery and no one turned up!
19/08/15
My parcel was late, because the parcel wasnt collected on time. I had to rearrange the pickup for another day, because the courier didnt show up
19/08/15
Easy to use.
Very good communications.
Polite and courteous collection driver.
Good value for money.

I had a package for delivery to the USA, collection was on time and delivery was super quick, very impressed.

I had difficulty finding the service needed to send a parcel as I found it difficult to compare different services having in the end to make notes on each carrier and go back into the site about 3 times before I found what I wanted. Then I found a problem with getting delivery details accepted as I had no phone number for the person I was sending the parcel to and had to enter my mobile number. I did use your help line but the person talking to me on line only answered my first question and I could not get a response to my second question to clarify what they had said in their answer. I also took at least 3 attempts to work out how to print a label and then found I could only do it when I received conformation email from you. Even so although this was the first time I had used Parcel Monkey and I had difficulty with using the site I would use it again as next time I would hopefully be able to find my way around the site better and know what information I need and what happens for printing a label.

My parcel was collected within a couple of hours of booking and arrived on time in Ireland, with useful tracking throughout.
19/08/15
Booked a pickup for same day, pickup arrived 24 hours later which resulted in the parcel arriving 24 hours later, should have gone for the cheaper 48 hour option. Also website not the easiest to use, random error messages when putting in address that do not make much sense, the online chat support was helpful to overcome this but shouldnt be that hard in first place.
19/08/15
the DPD tracking information is telling me that the parcel is being returned to me today, I get an email saying its being delivered to the correct address then today ,i paid £5 extra to get my parcel delivered monday ,what a complete and utter shambles ,never again
