Complicated form and did not tell me I needed 3 copies of customs document. Recipient then had to pay 48 euros for duties! Not what should happen with a gift…. Won’t be using this service again unless I really have no other choice

Filled in the form, measured the parcel and got charged £60 for a med parcel of about 2.5 kg to US. About right, not cheapest but offered quick service . Then, two weeks later got charged an extra £50 because the parcel weighed 20kg.. never! It weighed 2.5 and I entered the dimensions correctly. £50 extra! First and last time time with you monkeys. I feel cheated.

Couriers don’t bother picking up parcels and customer service to resolve this is appalling. Won’t be using parcelmonkey ever again

Be warned this company is a fraud, collected a parcel knowing what it was then failed to deliver it and then said they cannot deliver it as their provider cannot deliver a car bumper. I was then asked to collect item at my own expense from a depot 20 miles away. No phone number useless email service don’t waste your money.

The guy did come to pick up but did not even rang the bell and dropped a slip in the door that no one was home. He did not realize that we have canara installed which clearly shows guy coming to the door and dropping the slip and going away. Could not find a way to re arrange the deliver. Very bad service and completely unprofessional and unacceptable

Charged £92 for a roof rack to be delivered. £67 was an additional charge but dimensions and weights were correct. No response from parcel monkey

Fist time I have used this company (for a return to seller as item wasnt needed) and the last time, sadly. The parcel was delivered albeit late - but badly damaged and therefore the receiver is refusing a refund to me. I had the item insured but it is impossible to upload all the information that they are requesting as their system just does not want to accept. I have requested help and just being ignored. I suspect they are waiting for the refund period through insurance to expire so they do not have to settle the claim. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - truly shocking

I have used parcelmonkey for several years, the few times I have had to contact them for a claim it has been a massive hassle but more fool me, I continued to use them. Now I have had two emails to say they have charged me £65 on one order and £75 on another order due to the size being wrong. The sizes I entered were correct and if there was a slight discrepency, these surcharges are ridiculously high. No phone number to reach parcelmonkey. I have contacted them about both orders in their messaging system and have no reply from either. I have gone into my settings to remove the saved bank card to prevent them charging me any more and there is no way to access and remove the saved card from my settings. The only option is to "go nuclear" and cancel the card with my bank. I will never use parcelmonkey again and strongly advise anyone reading this to look at alternative providers. If you have any problem with parcelmonkey, you will regret ever using them.

Never will i use Parcel Monkey again, i sent a parcel to Austrialia, two small necklaces in a large letter in gift boxes. Size of the letter 22 x 17 x 3cm. They then charged me an extra £9+ saying the dimesions were incorrect, i asked for the couriers dimensions and was given 76cm x 56cm x 26cm, for two small necklaces!!!!???? All i was told was to provide proof of dimesions, weight etc, that was on 30th Jan, i responded but nothing since. So i called parcel force, spoke to a lovely lady who was willing to help a little, she confirmed that the dimensions given by parcel monkey were incorrect, and they had in fact a large letter size, not a parcel, in their system. Parcel Monkey i think are charging people and saying it is the courier, when you try to query it, you get no response at all, no phone number to ring, daylight robbery. Never again, I use another courier instead, much nicer, can talk to them and they dont help themselves to extra money out if your account without permission for false reasons.

I had arranged a collection from one company to another. The goods were ready and in the area as suggested. I assumed all had gone well, however the goods were never recieved. When i checked the tracking details it said confirmed other when i checked with the collection customer the goods were still there. When i tried to speak to parcel monkey i was passed from person to person, i was put on hold in total for over an hour , the call died several times (not my end) in the end i gave up as i was 1hr 20 into the call and still had not properly spoken to anyone - do not use they are rubbish!

Took 6 days to get to them
10/02/23 by Amanda Pigg
I am happy with the service once the package was on its way. The tracking worked well and kept me informed. Thank you.
I was frustrated trying to fill in the details re customs codes and such or even recipients address abroad (post code/spelling of street names). That could be better explained.

Very easy to select courier and place order

Not impressed with this courier Co. I paid for the 7 day service to deliver a gift parcel to Australia for my sisters 50th birthday. Was collected on the 31st January and stated it was to be delivered on the 7th February. Her birthday was the 8th February...as of now it has still not arrived! (10th) I have been tracking on the website and it is still stating "exported" ...it has not even arrived in Australia yet!!! Poor!
10/02/23 by Michelle Leigh

My parcel to Uganda was picked up as promised - I was worried about the effect of strikes by postal workers in the UK. Neednt have worried - quick delivery and in time for Christmas - to a rural address well away from the big cities in the country. Perfect. Well done Parcel Monkey!
