It was easy to use, instructions were clear and options for which carrier readily identified.
I choose a carrier which I knew had successfully delivered to the address.

Hello, Paid for Parcel Monkey to deliver a parcel. Was advised will take four to five days. Its been nearly three weeks and the item appears to be lost. Contacted Parcel Monkeys Customer Service Centre and the communication has been disappointing as no clear roadmap on resolving this issue. Always a different person responding with either a one line response or a cut and pasted reply. Nearly two weeks have past and no one at Parcel Monkey can help me. Ive noticed that the Parcel Monkey customer service team on Trustpilot appear to pick and chose which enquiries they wish to visually respond to which is concerning. I could not recommend Parcel Monkey to anyone, its better to pay a bit extra and use a courier who has a Customer Service Team who will take Ownership and Responsibility over lost item and actually care about the service they deliver and about how the customer feels. No phone call from Parcel Monkey with a full update, however they always ask for my number. Ive provided Parcel Money with the tracking number and photo of the parcel and still they are unable to resolve my enquiry. My experience with Parcel Monkey has been very disappointing as no one really wants to help. It only seems like Parcel Monkey reply in order to comply and reach their own internal KPI / targets of responding back with a one line response within their own internal targeted timescale. Look forward to hearing back from Parcel Monkey with a full explanation. Thank you

I have been booking shipments with the monkey for few months now and have been getting consistently good results .I have however noticed that when using Parcelforce it seems to make difference which post office I drop my parcels off at? Is this a courier issue or postmaster issue ?I have found a happy medium which works fine so good enough

Good service, thanks, a much better price than the likes of Royal Mail too.

Parcelmonkey have been great for many deliveries weve sent both home and abroad, but this time a Courier door-to-door from Brighton to London picked up Friday for a birthday on Monday had to eventually be picked up by the recipient from a local shop 4 days late. Very unimpressed. Have previously sent a parcel door-to-door just before Christmas to exactly the same receiving address from the same sending address with no problem and it arrived bang on time. Might have been a Courier problem so may avoid using them in future.

Efficient and speedy service. Collection was punctual and delivered within the time booked.
I struggled a bit with the new tariffs codes.
Maybe a dropdown selection would make it easier to select.
Over all excellent.

I always use Parcel Monkey and had no problems they even sorted out communication with courier for me when a parcel was very late in being delivered that was no fault of theirs but they sorted out the problem when I was getting know where so 10 out of 10 Parcel Monkey thank you

Easy to manage and book a collection. DHL confused matters slightly by not turning up on the day & time agreed. A new pickup time was arranged for the following day, which worked out.

Simply the best site for deliveries, easy to use, recommended to all out there.

Parcel was collected on 11th Jan and appears not to have moved in more than 3 weeks according to the tracking system. Have had multiple conversations with the customer communications team and while they respond quickly, my parcel has not been located, and no indication that it will be found or shipped. Recognise that the issue is most likely with Parcelforce, however Parcelmonkey make it clear that we should not talk to the courier directly. In future, work directly with the courier company.

Very happy with Parcel Monkey after being let down by another courier to send out a large item.
Parcel Monkey made it easier to insert the dimensions and weight of my parcel and get the right price.

Parcel Monkey offers good value and are very reliable.

Very pleased with whole process. Delivery was extremely fast!

Excellent . Easy to use and very large savings compared to other delivery services. I chose a Parcelforce 48 offer which ,when insurance for the goods to the value of £475 was added ,cost me roughly a third of what it would have been had I gone direct to Royal Mail Parcel force. Well worth checking out anytime a parcel needs to be de,ivered.

the company they use have been excellent

Easy to book
ParcelForce have had difficulty in delivering my parcel in Japan because of Covid. Tracking did not work once parcel exported. Parcel Monkey investigated on my behalf.
04/02/21 by Mr Arthur Nicholls
Parcel was collected as it should of been then 3 days later I received an email to say that there was a prohibited item, nothing to say what this item was. Contacted them via the chat and they couldnt tell me what the item was just sent me a copy of the prohibited list and the terms and conditions. Thats great but I want to know how ive broken the rules. Now ive had no choice but to pay even more money for the parcel to be returned to my mother as the collection point is at the other end of the country. No contact number or complaints email on their website which now rings alarm bells. Do not use this company, this could be a scam as they could just take your money and then say there is something prohibited in the parcel without proving it.

Good communication from placing the order.
Next day collection in Suffolk and delivered to Hampshire in approximately 24 hours.
Very impressed and would use again.
I was recommended to use Parcel Monkey UK and have happily recommended the company myself.

Great price and delivered in 24 hours for one third of the price Ebay wanted.

Really easy to use, with a good range of options. The door-to-door service is very helpful.

When using any courier service; if it works then the customer is happy. The trouble with using these Agent-type companies is that if there is an issue with the delivery, then you cannot deal with the Courier company direct, because you are not the customer; the Agent is. And so when i paid extra to upgrade a parcel for next day before 10:30 with ParcelMonkey, and the Courier delayed the delivery, i had to go through a lengthly and tiresome rigmarole with ParcelMonkey (as agents) to seek any recompense. Just be aware of this.
