Easy to complete and explained what to do easy.
Also the price is so good you would be daft not to use you.

My parcel was easy to send to the US when other methods I tried were made complicated.
Easy instructions to send.
Good value, cheaper than other methods.

A bit slow but got here in the end with no damage

Booked and paid for a parcel collection via DX. Waited in, and nobody turned up. No notifications via email, text, or call - just nothing. Asked for a refund, but have to wait until Monday to hear back. Potentially lost a sale. Wont be using again. Next time I will go directly to the parcel company, at least they might get in touch if theres a delay or a problem.

Easy drop off for parcel going to Montreal - and it arrived safely in 5 days - Fabulous service!

Its been about 3 months since I first sent my parcel and about 1 month since parcel monkey said they lost my package and said that the claims team would be in touch so I could claim on my insurance. Theyre completely ignoring me. Theyre hiding behind the fact that they dont have a phone number you can call when things go wrong. Theyre fraudulently selling insurance when sending parcels and not actually allowing you to claim! Im currently waiting back a reply on trading standards. Absolutely disgraceful company. Dont waste your time with this company, its not worth the hassle

Super fast, reliable and price competitive!

The courier did not deliver the parcel to address. I had to investigate to find it and after a week it turned out to be in a local post office. No communication. The receiver had to carry it themselves to the house. This is unacceptable.

No collection made, rearranged twice and still nobody has picked up my parcel. The customer service is poor.

More improvements lately from parcel monkey, they should keep it up.
21/11/25 by customer
Fast efficient service, package that was sent to me was posted on a Friday so after 2 (working) days in process & shipping from the South to up where I live in the North West of England it arrived when expected (Wednesday). Was kept up to date when package was being sent & within 2 hours it had arrived.
Only reason Im not giving a 5 star rating is whoever delivered the package made no attempt to check that I was in, knocking on the door or ringing the door bell instead they just dropped the delivery behind a gate next to my house so it was at least out of sight of potential theft etc. But that minor gripe takes little away from overall satisfaction with service so once again thank you for everything.

Delivered to time and with care

Ignore any generic apology response they give, DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY. Ordered courier collect and deliver for £100 worth of goods. Received email saying it had been destroyed in transit. Questioned what happened and how it will be resolved? Refusing refund of courier service or reimbursement of goods because of **waves terms and conditions section 305 part B amendment 22 etc in your face** I am £100 down plus the courier fee and no Christmas pressie for the wife. Might as well have set fire to cash at least I’d get some heat out of it. TOTAL JOKE.

It’s a great dependable service. Never let me down.
I try to pick parcel-force options.
Tend to choose collect and drop off.

Only giving one as I cant rate zero. I have (and still do) a list parcel from a consignment of 6. Despite numerous attempts and information being provided, I am going round in circles. I paid insurance for this consignment but noone wants to talk about that or issue a refund. Will never use their service again. You arent allowed to go direct to the courier, but you have to use them and they are quite frankly worse than useless. To give an example. Email sent twice and screen shots provided. Then they take 24 hours to respond and they ask what address was used. The address is very clearly in the screenshot. Then I get asked for details of the parcel. That would be fair, if I hadnt already twice in the same thread that. The courier didnt label the items in the same way I did so I have no idea which one is missing. Today (items should have been delivered on the 4/11, that the courier will now start looking for the parcel. What theyve been doing for the last 15 days Ive no idea!!!

My experience with Parcel Monkey is probably one of the worst experiences Ive had with a company. It takes a lot for me to write a review, but I want to let others know how untrustworthy this company is so that you can avoid it and dont make the same mistake as me. I was charged an extra £90 for weight adjustment (it was a £15 delivery and £50 item), even though I checked with the driver who collected it and provided the exact dimensions of the package. They took this money via PayPal, so make sure you disable any direct debits that are automatically set up to avoid something like this happening (IF you do ever decide to use them). I would personally recommend using a more professional and trustworthy company, even if it means paying a bit more. Their customer service is terrible, as it was impossible to communicate with anyone to rectify the issue I had.

Excellent service
20/11/25 by Denise Willetts
I booked a parcel through them to be collected today and my parcel was never collected I spoke to Mary who said to wait until 6pm when I noticed it’s late she should have contacted them but no. When I tried to chat with someone no one answered or responded and my parcel is really urgent and it’s going outside the country it will not make it to the freight I’m highly disappointed with them rubbish !!!!!

Terribly misleading. Had to pay further charges for duty to Germany. Was not made aware of prior. Item was only a knitted jumper and ended up costing in excess of £30 for delivery.
19/11/25 by Louis Amoah
Absolutely awful - con scammers and very very poor service My parcel to Australia they claimed was bigger than I claimed which it absolutely wasn’t but they just took the extra £20 without discussion !! Parcel never got to recipient but they claimed they attempted and left card which they didn’t / finally got my parcel back in UK in very poor state - never use these Conner’s again - dreadful - will send the story to rip off Britain - disgraceful

My goods arrive damaged. It was quite obvious that it was a coffee table from how it was packaged. It had been dropped because the top of the table was completely split. I would not recommend using Parcel Monkey.
