Very efficient system and easy to use. Item collected in a timely manner, though the delivery was one day later than the 48 hour express service bought. Overall I would use again, though this time, the items had to be sent onward as we missed the schedule for delivery to London.

Needed to return a bicycle and parcel monkey made this easy, the website was easy to navigate and follow. Collection of the parcel from us was great and it was delivered to its destination the very next morning. Proof of collection and delivery was very reassuring , will definitely use parcel monkey again.

Always a pleasure to use parcel monkey. Parcel did take longer than normal but with all the strikes going on, understandable.

Failed to collect on agreed date and then failed to collect on the second day (DX) Paid extra for compensation if not collected and now they say they will only cancel the collection and refund Complained but they repeated the same thing - dont care that the person stayed in two days running and I have no item arriving NOT recommended!

Very good as I can send a very heavy parcel which my previous company didn’t .

Ordering and prices were reasonable. Unfortunately the mirror that was booked for delivery got damaged in transit. Even though it was well pkged. But neither parcel monkey or delivery company are willing to help in form of compensation to repair the mirror so to replace the glass as been left at my expense so customer is happy

I will never use these useless jokers again! Website is a bunch of delivery expectation lies to encourage you to book but they cant deliver. Customer service is no help at all.

very cheeky. in spite of already charging me they again tried to get the money from me for an envelope which is 11* 22 saying it is 4.5kg. Aweful.

Used these successfully before = tried to send a parcel yesterday, got to the payment page, after inputting payment details, got a wasnt processing message, screen froze, retried and got the same message - contacted support to enquire if payment had been made, twice, once or not at all - 24 hours later still waiting for a response. a total useless support area advise not to use this business,

Parcel was due to take 4 days, parcel is 10 days into its journey and the tracking is not being updated, package appears stuck. Contacted Parcel Monkey and, despite having all the details in the original order regarding package contents, value, size etc. Insisted I provide all the details again before they contact the courier. Zero confidence the package will ever arive at this stage. Mostly the fault of Parcelforce but would have hoped Parcel Monkey would be able to use the details they have to track things down. Kicking myself for not taking a photo.

Great service

I wish there was no star option as well. Worst worst service ever. You parcel will not move for days together and the customer service is disgusting, beacuse they dont know how to solve. They keep saying we are looking into this and will come back. but waste of time and money. Also they tell that your package weight is more after midway just to charge you money.

Arrived on time a great relief when not delayed
23/08/22 by MARGARET OTWAY

Easy & quick would you again.

Good value for money, generally very pleased, would have been 5 stars but it took 2days to get a response from the Help site which claimed it would take 5 minutes. Sorted the problem before the response came. Would use again and recommend.

excellent customer service thanks x

Been using Parcel Monkey for years and always ensure I put slightly larger dimensions and weight to be on the safe side. Just been hit with another invoice due to the parcel being 1KG heavier. No way is this true. Sent an email to company and heard nothing. My suspicion is that they are clawing back price rises from unsuspecting customers probably by the 1000,s. Will never use again.

22/08/22 by Susan Rixham
Always use Parcel Monkey for sending my parcels. Its convenient and the service is very good. Pricing is competitive too and there are lots of delivery options to choose from.

This was my first time with Parcel Monkey and it was very straight forward to book . The parcel was uplifted as per booking and I am told that the refund for returned parcel is being processed
As I have no printer I had to go to the library to do the label …. but that’s life !!
I would use them again and recommend to a friend !

I have user Parcel Monkey loads of times and they have always provided good service. Reasonably priced and many options of dispatch makes it a service second to none. Happy to recommend!

I paid a premium for 48hr courier delivery through parcel monkey. After 20 emails and a week later it turned up, i am then told this is acceptable by Parcel Monkey
22/08/22 by Darren GELDER
All was ok until August 4th when I saw they had automatically taken over £60 from my account and emailed me to say my 2 parcels were underweight and actually weighed over 22kg - for 2 pairs of shoes I doubt it…. I measured both parcels correctly with a tape measure and overcompensated on weight by 500g. I emailed them to complain and 2 weeks later I have still got no response, at this rate they are basically scammers who can’t be bothered to investigate when things go wrong. I am now charging back with my bank all in all a massive waste of time, I’d give 0 stars if I could. Disgusted overall

Easy to arrange, fair prices, but do wish all drop points offered a printing service for those of us who dont own printers.

Excellent service and very fair prices.

Absolutely fantastic, Incredibly easy to use, and at an amazing price, even had my doubts to good to be true. Picked up from my home and delivered easily within 48 hours highly recommend it and will most certainly use it again.

Very good easy to use
21/08/22 by SUE
Useless customer support. System cant print a correct customs label and requires manual intervention. When couriers fail to come, they rebook a fresh label creating two collections for the courier. Its just a shambles and they have no idea what theyre doing. Equally as bad as another courier. Wont use again.
