It was easy to compare couriers. Once booking the print label is provided by Parcel Monkey directly.

Needed to send a heavy box of old magazines. Tried ParcelMonkey for the first time and got a price that was about half anywhere else. The box went via parcelforce, so I guess the experience is largely of parcelforce. The parcel seems to go as if sent by parcel monkey, so Im unclear what happens if it gets lost or whatever. But as my parcel was delivered perfectly Ill definitely look to Parcel Monkey next time too. On a much lighter, smaller parcel Parcel Monkey was not the cheapest (Royal Mail was) so always worth checking different sites for each parcel

Despite paying for customs using this site, a letter was sent to the recipient asking them to pay more money for the parcel. Terrible. Awful experience.

Used Parcel Monkey many times to send various things inside and outside the UK. Easy to compare the service + price to choose the best courier.

Advertised delivery was 3 to 4 days. It took 10 days. Granddaughter disappointed on her birthday.

Great Service the only downfall is the big time slot 8am-6pm. Would be good to get a notification half hour or so before delivery/collection.

I needed to get a 20Kg bag of Plaster of Paris from Birmingham to Edinburgh in a hurry. Parcel Monkey collected it and delivered it the next day without a hitch. Excellent service at a very reasonable price.

I arrange courier service to pick up and I got the customer to stay in all day and they didnt come but marked it as the have been so re-book it for the next day available and they didnt come again not happy. So the customer dropped it off at a drop off shop so his time and his petrol ,and parcel monkey do not even care and Ive paid for it to be collected I didnt get a refund

Sent some books to myself ahead of my move to Portugal. Tracking was completely broken. Selected the parcelmonkey by road option and the tracking was claiming delivery before the package even left the country. Also, pretty sure it was sent by plane and not road. Ended up having to interact with one of the subcontracted companies a submit documents parcelmonkey already had for customs purposes, as well as paying some customs charges on personal goods.

Easy to use at much reduced rate than if you buy direct. Do beware though as I bought next day delivery on a Thursday and, whilst it was collected on Friday, the parcel was not delivered until Monday. This was not notified during my purchase. Otherwise a good service.

WORK WITH THEM IF YOU WANT TO RUIN YOUR BUSINESS. One of the worst companies, no different than others, they lost my parcel and did not even bother to help. I am really shocked about their customer service, they are unexperienced, rude and not helpful. Now i have lost my parcel, my customer and my money, all because of this company, Why i am responsible for your fault? I will take you to the Court, i want my parcel back!

OMG, how do I begin to describe the absolute shambles that is Parcel Monkey? In the final week of June I sent some golf clubs over to Italy to use whilst there this summer. I shipped them to a friend/neighbour with an estimated delivery of 7-10 days. After 2 weeks that hadnt arrived & I chased, after 3 weeks they had not arrived & I chased. My neighbour left to go on holiday. After 4 weeks they arrived with a 280€ bill (apparently Italian VAT & customs fees) & my neighbours son, knowing nothing about them, rejected the request to pay so much cash for an unknown item. At this point they were to be returned to the UK. After 2 weeks we heard nothing. They were last tracked after 3 weeks in the wrong depot. That was 7 weeks ago. I chase every week, if I didnt nothing would happen. Parcel Monkey standard response is: We will rechase the courier. Despite having insurance, they refuse to start a claim until the courier (who theyre chasing) confirms that they are lost. And so it goes on. Avoid.

Never got a receipt for delivery

Excellent service from all the parcels sent do far thankyou

The cheap prices is not worth the pain! On the surface seems like a great idea, get a comparison of different couriers and find the right service and cost. That’s where it stops. Placed an order for collection, the courier never turned up despite emails from them confirming times for collection. You can only speak to customer services on webchat who reassure you that they are still turning up and then they don’t, Day 2 and receive another email to say the collection will happen a day late. Speak again on webchat to customer services who say the driver is on his way and no surprises for what happens next… no one turns up. Had to offer the person I was sending the item to a refund on the delivery costs because of the delay. Contacts Parcel Monkey who didn’t really care and only offer to cancel the courier and refund as an apology. That is not an apology that is my basic right for a courier service failing to do the one thing you hired them to do. So now I’m left out of pocket having to arrange another delivery company and refund the delivery costs to the person waiting on the item. If Parcel Monkey were actually the courier and not just the middle man they would give a damn but they don’t. Complete waste of time and money. I dread to think how many other people get scammed and don’t even get a refund. Steer clear

We havent heard from the company we returned the item to but your tracking shows it was delivered in good time. Thank you for this item. We will surely use your service again if we have to send a parcel.
