Great price (over £11.00 for a 17kg package)! But massive issues with the postage label not printing. Nothing to do with my printer (I went to my neighbour and tried printing on their printer, with no joy). The file containing the postage label was corrupt and would not print. Looked at Parcel Monkeys help page and there wasnt a dropdown that covered "label not printing". I resolved the issue by taking a screen shot of the postage label, cropped and saved it. Then inserted into a Word Doc and printed it. A lot of faffing around. I probably will avoid using Parcel Monkey in the future, too much of a risk.

Excellent service
Only thing I would say were I sent my parcel in Germany they were required to pay a customs charge which has left me confused as I did a customs declaration
I thought Northern Ireland didn’t have to pay custom duty in Europe……confused

You collected and delivered promptly which is exactly what I paid for ????

The initial price looked good but with the extras needed it ended as being more than double. Bit of a shame.
However the order placement and label printing was easy.
Although the parcel was tracked, I would have liked to be informed that the parcel had been delivered as it had a value of several hundred pounds.

Sent a parcel to Jersey and it got retuned because the PM label said Guernsey and Jersey in the address, a glitch on their system which PM were not interested in sorting out, poor customer service, not happy at all

Initially used Parcel2Go and Hermes as the courier. Hermes failed to collect my parcel 4 times even after I provided a picture of the warehouse and a google maps reference. In the end I had to cancel the booking and ask for a refund.
I decided to use Parcel Monkey with ParcelForce as the courier. What a difference they collected first time on the correct day and delivered on the next day. (even though I booked a 48hr service they delivered within 24hrs). Last but not least they were £10.00 cheaper.
Very impressed, great service and keen price.

Always late, and though the staff give a formally apologetic response, you can tell there is no real empathy about the issue you may face. I thought that with their buying power they could lobby for a better customer service experience for their customers but thats not the case. You are better off going direct and then ringing the company yourself.

Theres absolutely no point in using this company, they just make things far more complicated. Booked collection and next day delivery, no one turned up. Spoke to the live chat support and collection had to be booked again, they also didnt show up. The parcel should have been delivered by now and it hasnt even been collected. Customer service do nothing, all they can offer is to book the collection for a third time or cancel it all together. They cannot even contact the courier that is due to make the delivery and shun all responsibility saying they "are often blamed for the actions of the courier agents". Live chat agents just copy and paste "we apologise" messages and wont engage or listen to reasonable ways to resolve the issue. They have no control over the couriers, they cant track them, cant contact them and offer no compensation or alternatives when they simply dont show up. I will never, ever use them again.

Booked a collection for a parcel online. They gave me a time slot the next day which they didnt show up in. Then I was told to wait until 6pm, when they still didnt show up. At 6pm I wasnt offered any explanation, my collection was just booked on to the next day without consulting me and no offer of compensation. The next day came and they didnt even send a time slot. I requested a refund and Im still waiting. They have now stopped replying to me after I cancelled the shipment.

Thank heaven people at Parcel Monkey understand the written word. I had trouble with getting a simple collection and delivery with Hermes who said the item hadnt been delivered but was never actually collected despite sending me an email saying they had tried to deliver it! BUT Parcel Monkey and Express 48 did it no problem at all. Collected, transported and delivered all on time; no fuss, no bother, no lies and no issues. WELL DONE PARCEL MONKEY people. Ill be using the service again. Does what it says on the tin ????

The courier service was fine, but the account service is abysmal. Im currently locked out of my account, which means I cant receive a refund for the shipping cost, as Parcel Monkey do not send a cost breakdown as standard. As there seems to be no way of contacting the company without logging in, it appears Parcel Monkey have just locked me out of a full refund.

Excellent service from start to finish. Would recommend other companies need to learn from Parcel Monkey & DHL.

Terrible company and know help after parcel dropped off at parcel company location, two days later it’s still sitting there.

I changed my country from the UK to Turkey, and as I lived in the UK for five years, I had many boxes to send to Turkey. I did send all of them with parcel monkey, and it was an excellent experience for me. All my stuff were safely delivered to my address. Thank you!
