Excellent service at a good price. Large package sent from UK to US west coast via UPS. Collected promptly and delivered 4 days later at a price that was less than using UPSs own website. Couldnt ask for more.

I booked my parcel with UPS via Parcel Monkey on Monday afternoon and was told it would be collected on Tuesday between 9am and 5pm. On Tuesday I received an email at 4.51pm notifying me that the parcel had been collected which it hadnt. I then expected the parcel to be collected first thing Wednesday which it wasnt. On Thursday afternoon I phoned customer services at UPS to complain about their service and they said the collection would be made on that day before 4pm which it was. On Friday our customer complained of non-delivery and cancelled the order so we have since had to pay for its collection from our customer (in Eire) so the whole experience has been a disaster!! UPS agreed to deliver the parcel FOC but to date, Parcel Monkey havent passed this on. On top of this Ive had to pay for a remote collection from Eire which was considerably more expensive than the original delivery cost.

Seems to be a sharp practice of charging for insuring valuables then in the small print, excluding valuables. Not impressed. Should be illegal. Either you pay for extra insurance and your item is insured or you dont you cant have it both ways.

Did exactly what it said on the advert. A parcel coming to me from another parcel company took 5 days longer an cost more

I saw your driver pass my house twice at speed at about 2.30 today. I tried to wave him down but no luck.

I have used Parcel Monkey for many years, mostly without issue. Recently though, their service and communication has deteriorated drastically. Now any shipments that have not, or could not be delivered, are returned to Parcel Monkeys office and not the sender and despite my efforts and enquiries they still have two of my shipments at their office with no effort made to return them to me - the sender. One of which they have had for over a month! So PLEASE BE AWARE that if your shipment does not get delivered, it will be returned to the office of Parcel Monkey and youll find it difficult and time consuming to recover your, or your customers property. Heres a transcript of my many recent messages in an effort to get my shipments to me. Note the absence of any replies from Parcel Monkey. They simply no longer care! You Sunday 8th December 2024 @ 16:19 Its been a month since I posted this and your returns department has still not contacted me. Can we consider it lost and make a claim? Thanks Maureen from Parcel Monkey - No reply You Wednesday 4th December 2024 @ 18:14 Do you have a number for your Returns Team, as they have still not contacted me and I posted the item three weeks ago? Thanks Maureen from Parcel Monkey - No reply You Tuesday 3rd December 2024 @ 12:44 I NEED THIS SHIPMENT RETURNED TO ME OR AT LEAST A REPLY TO MY PREVIOUS MESSAGES. Otherwise, Ill need to seek legal advice. Regards Maureen from Parcel Monkey - No reply You Monday 2nd December 2024 @ 11:33 Hello. What is happening with this shipment and can you return it to me by Wednesday? Maureen from Parcel Monkey - No reply You Friday 29th November 2024 @ 22:43 Id like to report this shipment as lost in transit. Regards Maureen from Parcel Monkey - No reply You Friday 29th November 2024 @ 10:44 Hello. Its been three weeks since I posted this item and Im still waiting for it to be returned to me. Please advise. Maureen from Parcel Monkey - No reply You Wednesday 27th November 2024 @ 00:48 I need my shipment back. I cant be contacted by phone. I posted this item weeks ago. Your service isnt good enough! Maureen from Parcel Monkey Tuesday 26th November 2024 @ 07:44 Hello, We do apologize for the inconvenience. I will now forward this to the relevant department which can help you with your returned parcel. Thank you. Kind regards, Maureen Jessel from Parcel MonkeyMonday 25th November 2024 @ 10:38 Hello, We are sorry for the inconvenience. Please be advised that the parcel was returned to our office first as you have booked with us. Our Returns Team will contact you regarding this matter. Again, apologies for the inconvenience caused.

In all the years I’ve used parcel monkey I’ve never ever had one bad experience easy to use website and great choice at reasonable prices

You took my order, I paid the quote for Next Day collection. It was picked up 2 days after the order, no explanation. The package was delivered. I then subsequently received notice Id been undercharged and you helped yourselves to £52 from my PayPal. I immediately notified you that there was an error (my pkg was 7kg but you claim the estimate was 40kg, and the actual was 50kg???). I was informed the relevant department would be in touch within 24hrs. Its now 3 working days and I have had zero response or explanation. That is really poor customer service.

Excellent and reliable service.Easy to negotiate website. Competitive prices. Option to post or have collected. Parcel arrived in USA from UK on time. Used Parcel Monkey for several years now and will continue to do so. Highly recommended

Awful service, parcel not collected on 2 occasions and so lost the sale on eBay. The mains problem is that you cannot directly call to discuss options.

Very simple process to compare prices and to book parcel. For international shipping they make the tedious customs documentation very straightforward.

easy to use ,quick delivery

I put in all my details. Chose the service I wanted which cost under £5, added extra insurance, which cost under £3. When it took me to the next page, the bill had jumped up to over £26. Was not happy, went back and changed to a different delivery service and got it all for under £10.

Sent from uk to Bahrain and parcel arrived quickly and tracking is spot on
08/12/24 by Allison Mackay
Efficient international door to door service. The price and sevice comparisons made choosing a company to use to send gifts to family in Canada much easier. Instructions on how to fill out various bits of paperwork were very helpful. Tracking the parcel was easy and collection and delivery times were exactly as promised.

I always use Parcel Monkey for obtaining best price when sending parcels abroad. It is easy to keep track of delivery status. Highly recommend this company
08/12/24 by Christine
Not fast as I expected, but very reasonable price and my package came safely and whole and Ill do it again.
Thank you

Booking and delivery are easy and good but the customer service for the chosen store location was coarse. The person was unaware that they have a label printing service available at their store. I Need to tell him that there is a printing at the store available for parcel on it for their customers.
