I used parcel monkey for the first time just before Christmas and was thrilled with their service. I was able to compare all postal options and choose the one that suited me. I selected collect from door and deliver by next day and the parcel was collected within 15 minutes of my booking. It was delivered, in good order, exactly when we were told it would be delivered.

Was quite sceptical about sending my parcel to HK recently. But it was collected on wed, saw the regular updates and was delivered that Sunday. Extremely pleased and simple to use.

Worked like clockwork and DHL were superb
They and DPD are leagues above the rest giving time slot info for collecting and delivery is where the industry should be. Makes Royal Mail and Parcelforce look like tin pot operations! Now.

If I could give a 0 star review I would I took out insurance as it was an expensive item made sure it was wrapped correctly and then although they took the money for the insurance refused to pay out for the damaged item. I made them aware the delivery driver had 2 tyres in the back of his van that he was throwing around damaging other parcels but they did not take any of this into consideration. I will never use this company again

So much more expensive than in person. I assumed — wrongly — that this was a genuine comparison site that would give the best price. It certainly does not. I saved £8 on a £39 Royal Mail by not using Parcel Monkey and going into the post office. Even if you use Parcel Monkey, you still have to drop your package off anyway.

Initially all good, good price, I chose my service and dropped my parcel off. DPDis the carrier and it was supposed to be a 3-4 day international tracked delivery. It was tracked for 2 days then disappeared when it left the UK. 25 days later and I’ve contacted customer services numerous times and they always just say that they are contacting the courier company and just need more time. No real updates and nobody will tell me the timescale for declaring the parcel as lost and paying out on the insurance. I won’t use a 3rd party company again as it leaves you at their mercy if things go wrong.

Everything went like clockwork from collection time of parcels to update of tracking to delivery next day on time with photo of parcels drop by driver. All done in last days before Christmas delivered Christmas cheer to our Grandchildren who
could not visit due to travel restrictions Excellent service great value First Class.

I used this service to send a parcel to the US and it was better than my experience with DHL in the past.
05/01/21 by APM
This company are great when everything goes to plan but when it does not they are truly terrible. You cannot contact them by any other method than e mail. When claiming for a lost parcel they do not pay you back the shipping fee just the claim for the contents. The staff get very nasty and rude and will not let you enter a complaint anywhere, they just ignore the question. Do not use if you can help it.

Nobody has collected my parcel. Dont ..just dont.
05/01/21 by Customer
Easy to use and select appropriate service. Price through ParcelForce would have been £40 more but the service still performed well: 2 parcels collected and delivreed 400 miles away well within 24 hours.

Very good service, recommended.
04/01/21 by Mr Stephen Thomas
First time we have used this service and it was excellent. Came to collect our two parcels saying they would arrive at their destination in the Cotswolds within two days, they arrived the next morning at 8am. We were so pleased and would thoroughly recommend this service.
Thank you.

Honestly amazing. After Boris scuppered our Christmas plans and one of our family members was stranded on their own for Christmas I was able to courier all of their gifts to them so that they would be able to have something resembling a Christmas Day. Bearing in mind that we did this ON CHRISTMAS EVE, and the gifts were with their recipient 2 hours after I booked, it truly was a Christmas miracle. Prior to using Parcel Monkey I did try booking directly with the courier but it was a) way more complicated, b) more expensive (!) and c) their payment process failed. Will definitely use again.

My parcel left Cornwall on Tuesday to be delivered on Wednesday. By Saturday my daughter gave up and took an unnecessary journey in Tier 4 to collect it herself from the Hatfield depot. I wish I had never used Parcel Force.
