I was charged an additional amount by parcel monkey after a package which clearly wasn’t mine was weighed in transit - my package which I correctly weighed ahead of sending was just under 2.5kg so that’s what I listed and paid for. Then I had a message to say it had been weighed at 8kg with no evidence to support this and as such I was being charged an additional £55! I straight away contacted parcel monkey to advise it was a mistake eventually after a chain of messages they asked me to supply evidence of the box being weighed, unfortunately they asked for this after it had arrived with my sister, by the time I asked her to send a picture of her with the package and also to put it on a weighing scale she had already opened it. The photos still show the sender ID and the fact it was 1.9kg. Parcel monkey are now seemingly requesting additional photos of the dimension when I don’t think this is possible as highly unlikely my sister will still have the box 48 hours after opening and embarrassing to have to ask- also as far as I am aware the dimensions have never been in dispute. This is clearly a mistake as there is no way the contents. (2 mugs, some sweets and a photo frame and a small ceramic olive bowl would come to anywhere near that) I have since sent parcel monkey a picture of my sister unboxing the package and one on a scale showing the correct weight and they have yet to removed the charge. Highly frustrating and unlikely I will ever use parcel monkey again.

Absolute shower, I sent a parcel to holland it took 16 days. I then get told it will be returned and I had to pay and admin fee, I did. I then received someone elses delivery and then got charged an extra £65 as the weight was wrong! talking to them is just an absolute commedy of errors they dont have a clue. AVOID.

The company dont keep to date
05/01/23 by Customer
Using the website, no problems. Pick up was great and left the UK to the USA, fine. But then no update for 24 hours after clearing US Customs. Hoping it arrives within the 3-4 time frame as posted on ParcelForce site.

AVOID - What an absolute shower, customer services are appalling ..... got a quote based on the ACTUAL weight of my 21kg parcel being returned, and agreed collection date. Several days later I receive an email stating that the couriers laser guided measuring equipment made my 21kg parcel .... 35.5kg! ...... 14.5kg MORE! THE WEIGHT OF 21KG IS PRINTED ON THE ORIGINAL BOX SHIPPED TO ME!! They then Debited an extra £24.60 from my card, even though I have sent pictures as proof, and have since ignored ALL my correspondence... this company is a JOKE! Next stop.....my bank, to reverse this total saga!

Website very easy to use and was very impressed

Always excellent. Highly recommended. Best of all - you get to plant a tree with every parcel you send, to help offset your CO2 emissions. Whats not to love?!

Parcel not collected by evri, no contacts, marked as customer cancelled when they didn’t turn up, chat bot takes you round in circles & says it was cancelled & no other help, no reply on insta & not delivered on Facebook, tried email main manager & no reply, I even paid extra to ensure safe delivery. It’s a joke !

Assurances given that my parcel would be collected by UPS on 23rd December and delivered the same day, failed. Called UPS the following day and I was asked to make an additional payment and even then the parcel would not be collected till 28th December. I had to decline the offer and made other arrangements for the delivery.

Parcel monkey has very safe and capable hands in handling the small as well as big parcels.
I really liked the way it has always handled my parcels - god bless the team .... And thank you so much for keeping things safe and as it is.

Very simple to use and delivery was in the time stated.

Not impressed. The advertised "3-4 days" when booking is a lie. I posted a parcel to Australia on 20th December 2022. It is now 4th January 2023. The parcel has still not arrived at the address in Australia. The delay between the email alert that "invoice description is not adequate" to what the courier is doing in country is not co-ordinated. I have just paid ANOTHER £16.00 to have the Second parcel to Switzerland returned to me! Every time I use Parcel Force via Parcel Monkey the service is appalling. Shall go direct to UPS or DPD next time. Not using this service again. After 3 years and 5 out of 6 parcels arriving late, not worth it.

Easy set up. Came to pick up early and delivered as promised. Door to door service. Excellent

Delivery time nearly three weeks when it was advertised as 4 - 5 days. Whilst it was a busy time, the parcel took way longer than the information suggested.
04/01/23 by Susan Smith
Useless, powerless third party. I would advise booking directly with courier services as they can amend services and you can discuss fulfilment of lazy courier company pick-ups directly with supplier of service.

I was very pleased with parcel monkey competitive prices will come back again
04/01/23 by Customer
A quick comparison of services available for my needs and then, pay print and drop round the corner. Next day delivery in the week before Christmas. Awesome

Easy to understand website.
Only snag, not understanding how to access the codes needed for the goods I had packaged.
03/01/23 by Miss S Bell
What a awful company, sent some golf clubs using them, imputing accurate dimensions and weights of my package, paid my fee, the package was collected on time and everything seemed fine at this stage, the package was delivered and the buyer was very happy. Then a week later a get a final fee taken automatically from my pay pal for more the double the original fee I’d already paid stating mis-dimensions for the extra cost, lies. I have since challenged this asking for evidence of the supposed mis-dimensions and they can’t provide them saying that I have to provide them with evidence that I didn’t give mis-dimensions. I would highly recommend staying well clear of this company, they will rob you after the job without giving any evidence of why. Disgraceful

When I got a quote for this online the lead time said 2 delivery days and therefore we booked it as our customer required delivery prior to Christmas. It was collected the next day, so very prompt, but was only delivered today (03.01.23) and therefore late.
03/01/23 by Customer
Disappointed by the length of time to take a parcel inside the UK. Promised 1-2 days but was really 3.

Considering the chaos with the postal strike and the Xmas period and the weather. they still managed to deliver my parcel in time for Xmas. Thanks
