It was expensive to send a parcel from the UK to Taiwan, but the speed with which it arrived made it so impressive that it was worth the cost! The parcel was collected from my house at noon on Monday and had arrived by noon on Friday! I think that is better that second class post UK to UK!
Awesome

Easy online instructions to follow. Label easy to print. Turned up on the pre arranged day. Not like some companies! Receipt given for tracking the parcel.

Very efficient as usual.

Disgusting service from Parcelforce. Booked through Parcel Monkey. Driver signed as received from me and left a guitar outside open to the elements for a week when I was away. Parcelforce passing the buck. Ridiculous illegal behaviour.

Totally useless, Tracker states Exported for 3 weeks now and it has never arrived in the destination country. Contacted Customer services after a week in this state and was told it is exported, when challenged passed to another agent who informed me it was in country but was awaiting unpacking and this could take up to 3 months !!! . Call back a week later to be told their agent has no record of the parcel so it is lost and they will be in touch about opening a claim. Guess what no contact from their claims department either guess that is lost also. And just to top it off it takes forever to get through to someone on the phone and they have answered the call and hung up immediately so as not to have to talk to you. Would never use again and grandchildren will miss out on expected gifts this summer that no pitiful claim will compensate for. Use at extreme risk but you have been warned !!!!!

Easy to use with good advice on preparing your package for transport.
It would have been useful to have an estimated time for collection but the driver did come just after 10am didn’t mean I was waiting in all day
Driver was also able to confirm our package was adequately secure and that was a comfort

this was a big parcel a sink and with Parcel Monkey it only cost £12 to send in the U.K All good give it a go .thanks

feeling like youve been raped is an understatement. Parcel was insured for £250 and returned to me (after they posted it to the wrong address). When it arrived it was battered and busted with pieces missing. Parcel monkey asked for photos which I gave but didnt want to see how it was packaged. After sending pics of the packaging itself they said 1.5m x.5 meters of bubble wrap with more bubblewrap and paper for cushioning in an oversize box wasnt sufficent. Zac (the rep Ive been dealing with) has been worse than a joke, the only response is send a letter of complaint to simple questions that they should know about parcel monkey proceedures. Small claims court it is then

Booking made on Tuesday for collection by Parcelforce on Wednesday. The driver showed up on Wednesday morning but informed me his van was full and that he would return later that afternoon. No one came. I contacted PM who rebooked the collection. No one came Thursday. I contacted PM who rebooked the delivery. I was told they could not trace the job or driver to inform me when the collection would be made. Parcelforce was also as unhelpful. The driver showed up Friday morning and took the parcel which at best will arrive 2 days late. Parcel Monkey advised they have no involvement in claims and can not offer compensation. Note the booking number given by PM does not allow Parcelforce to locate the booking. PM advised to monitor the tracking, however the tracking only applies AFTER the parcel is collected. There is zero visibility prior to collection. Waited in from 8am to 6pm 2 days running.

Good prices, with Parcel Force we drop off at local Post Office at 3pm and our customer receives around 9am next day - this has to be the best available.

Not happy with the way you handled my parcel . Parcel arrived with damaged Box showing contest not sure if everything missing so far until I speak with the sender. Not happy at all. I have a picture to follow my report if you want it please let me know ASAP

Parcel was returned to me in error and never received refund, Parcel monkey just ignored my request to being refunded and like other people have said on trustpilot, this currier company is NOT reliable at all. Will never use again

Simple, easy and always the best prices for parcel post.

Parcel Monkey was ok, website not very user friendly.. carrier horrendous. A parcel insured for £1000 and a note to say hand to recipient was left unsigned for on the doorstep of the property which is situated on a busy main road. No doorbell rung, nothing. Just left.

It was the first time I had sent anything with Parcel Monkey UK and was very happy with the service and will certainly use them again.
15/07/21 by Irene Hay
Absolutely terrible they have taken a payment fit the correct weight and size placed and 1 week after they have taken another £51 as well as the £51 postage fee

On delivery to the repair shop the item had a broken pipe and I am trying to recover the cost of the said repair it was a bit annoying as it was an expense I was not expecting,I am now waiting for the bill to come in so I can try and claim the broken pipe repair back
15/07/21 by Mr & Mrs Morris
Parcel picked on the date specified.
Arrival was within the time specified.
A first class service from the U.K. to Qatar.
It is the only company we will use.

Parcel was returned to me in error and never received refund from parcel monkey. Parcel Force would have reimbursed me had j booked direct with them. Parcel monkey just ignored my request to being refunded and like other people have said on trustpilot I too eventually gave up and was out of pocket to the sim of £22. Will never use again
15/07/21 by ANNE STEPHENSON
Very happy, the price was very reasonable and the website was very easy to use. Would definitely recommend!

Great service
14/07/21 by Mr Garry McIntosh
Avoid at all costs! I paid for a 24hr service, what I actually got was a 5 day service! I was continually fobbed off by customer service and told they had done nothing wrong. I won’t be using them again and will definitely never recommend them.

My parcels have been missing since the 29th June but I am not getting any help from Parcel Monky or Parcelforce. At the moment I am totally disgusted by the way I am being treated as I just keep getting pushed around and getting nowhere. They do not seem to be very keen to arrange a search for my parcels the value of which are nearly £400. I think I will think twice about using this company again. Not a happy bunny at all

Fair selection of quotes. Prompt service. Delivery arrived in Singapore as promised.
