Great value and efficient service

Smooth collection and delivery, no hassle much better than interparcel or TNT who are still trying to locate the package that they delivered to wrong address !!!

used this for the first time to send a large parcel to Northern Ireland. There was a large saving on the price quoted direct from Parcel force and the price from Parcel Monkey using Parcelforce! So Parcelforce service for less than Collect+ or Hermes service who wouldnt carry it anyway as it was too large. Whats not to like??

Hi booked for a collection through PM with Parcelforce as the carrier. They did not collect on the day and on ringing them they had cancelled the collection. I tried to ring Parcel Force my local branch but could only get through to my local branch if they were not busy. This is because the calling system redirected you to any Parcelforce in the country to pick up the call even though I needed to speak to my local depot. Eventually got through and the notes on the system said collection cancelled with no communication back to me as reason. This may be a parcelforce **** up but as it was booked through Parcel Monkey the review is for them.

After waiting 10 days for DX to another courier they have now lost it! Parcelmonkey do not have a customer support phone number. Everything is done by email. When you raise an issue they say they will look into it but never actually do anything about it.

Although I had to wait for the collection having no idea when it would be during the day, my boxes where delivered within 3 days as planned. I would recommend the service.

I decided to use Parcel Monkey to collect a heavy item for me that I purchased on EBay. I only bought the item, as their web site told me it would cost around 13 pounds for the 20 KG to be delivered to me. Once I agreed to continue the shipping process and enter the dimensions for the package (Bicycle carrier), is suddenly became 37 pounds to deliver. Unfortunately I had already purchased the item so was committed. Service by the actual courier (Parcel Force) was faultless, but wont be using Parcelmonkey again.

I found the online form filling frustrating. Perhaps there was a fault that day. I put in my postcode in order to choose a post office, selected a post office which then changed to another. Then my postcode was changed to that of the delivery address. I ended up having to go to a different post office to the one I preferred because I was unable to select it. It seemed to take a long time and I remember getting very cross.

Once the carrier had been selected & payed for the service was great its just that I found it a little confusing at first but it is the first time that I had used it.

Have had no problems using Parcelmonkey to send my parcels overseas. Easy to sort out and organize collection - sometimes takes longer to arrive than the specified time given by the courier (not Parcelmonkey fault). In all a very good service.

I booked a collection by Parcelforce, using Parcelmonkey because it was cheaper through them than anywhere else. The collection was booked for a couple of days ahead. Everything went very smoothly and the parcels were collected on the day promised.
This was my first time using Parcelmonkey. I usually book through parcel2go but their prices were much more expensive for this particular collection. I was worried that the price would prove to be wrong once the courier arrived but all was well. I cant fault Parcelmonkeys service. They did exactly what they promised theyd do and you cant ask any more than that. I am very happy with the service.
(I have seen a few other reviews giving them a hard time because of delivery problems but thats down to the courier, not the booking service so those comments are irrelevant and unfair.)

We had to return a Vellux blind to Hungary. Parcel Monkey was the cheapest quote we could find, their website was easy to use and the service was extremely efficient, with Royal Mail picking it up, bringing a pre-printed label, and it was delivered within a week.

Parcel monkey were excellent as always. The website works, the price was low with collection and delivery at the times promised.

Took my parcel to the office at 6.30pm one night - was signed for in Leicester at 10.21am the next day - couldnt have asked for quicker service

As per the title, Parcel Monkey provided the cheapest quote (they often do), delivered within the stated time frame, and the recipient reported no problems.

Absolutely fantastic service. Easy to use website, pick up as promised, tracking very good snd a delivery much earlier than expected. Would use them again without hesitation.

Fast and efficient service, prompt collection following customers preferences, delivery on expected time!

Very good service

This process really does work and can deliver much better prices than going direct to the courier. I have used them a number of times and so far so good. Watch out for the small print on claiming for loss or damage as sometimes these dont match the couriers offer.

Rather than going through the royal mail service I did it via parcel monkey and saved 25% for exactly the same service.

Super easy to use, always kept up to date, what more could you ask for!!!

Parcel Monkey was recommended to me and initially I found it hard to understand how they could be so much cheaper than my local post office with the same carrier. But they were! The parcel was left outside my door collected, and delivered the next day. I can see no point personally in using any other service in the near future.

This is the second time i have been using parcel monkey, their website is very easy to navigate and get prices, my parcel has been picked up on the same day delivered within days to europe and i can track the progress, and i am happy with the price.
