They will overcharge your credit card with no reason. BEWARE of thieves and scammers.

All good until the start of September when a regular delivery of cartons (no more or less) rose from just over £42.00 to just over £115.00 without prior notice. Also you only find this at the final stage just before payment. Very disappointing to see an unparalleled increase of 173%

First class, prompt service. Also very reasonably priced. Would recommend this service to anyone.

Terrible. Misleads you into thinking you can book after working hours on a Friday for collection on a Monday. Waited all day Monday and all day Tuesday. Its now 3pm Tuesday and Im still waiting. All Parcelmonkeys live chat can say is "Your collection is booked for today, please allow until 6pm" At some point they conceded to say, "Sorry for the inconvenience" but never offered an explanation. I dont know what to do; my sons belongings are all here, hes had to head off to uni (late for collecting his keys from reception) and has no idea when his clothes will arrive. Have a got to wait in tomorrow too? Does the fault lie with Parcelforce? - If so theres no point in me cancelling and booking through another third-party service that might use them too. If I could rewind the clock and pay £100 instead of £30 for a reliable service I would.

The web form does not allow input of non english characters, hyphens, dots or slashes which are all used in International mail addresses.

Booked on Sunday to pickup my parcel on Monday, by 1900 Monday no sign of them, contacted them and they said sorry for no pickup, they offered to re-book but i had no faith in them so cancelled, today Tuesday Parcelforce came for the parcel, they told me they knew nothing of the collection on Monday or of the cancellation either, use this company at your peril, just to add i also let down a friend. they are now not answering my enquiries, says it all, the driver today apologised to me, i said it isnt his fault, this gives Parcelforce a bad name.

Once service was used, this deceitful monkey business joke of a company arbitrarily decided to charge me over £50 for returning a delivery to Amazon. Thankfully Amazon covered the costs, no questions asked. Never will use Parcel Monkey again. You should not either, unless you like surprise, exorbitant charges.

Still waiting for parcel. Would be better to ask me to review after you have delivered the parcel. Status says problem with delivery address. As explained to you preciously this is because you decide to replace the address label I stick on with an address label of your own which is a complete different address. Heres a tip for you, peel of the delivery label you have stuck on to look at the delivery label I stuck on and you will have the correct address to deliver to. Also there is no way online to arrange a place for me to go collect or details of what I do now or how I communicate with anyone to actually get my parcel. There is no attempt to contact me by email I gave you or the 2 telephone numbers I have given to even try to attempt and deliver. Basically my parcel is stuck at a random depot somewhere until eventually it will be returned to sender. Would be much easier just to leave the customers address label as is and deliver it to the said address or at the very least..... call me!

Well worse company to deal with. Offered compensation for damaged parcel that was deliberately damaged by the courier. I refused it as only covered the return and sending of the parcel. I knew this was going to happen due to the nature and behaviour of the courier that collected the parcel. another courier does a far better job and is more sympathetic. I do fair amount of business with Parcel Monkey but no more!

VERY frustrating that the package was not picked up on the scheduled day. someone was waiting in the house, with the phone number given at booking. when followed up i was told the driver did not have a phone so they couldnt not contact him to go back and get the package. who does not have a phone!?!?! refused to even give an AM/PM estimated time for pick up the day after.
anyway. rebooked the following day. picked up and delivered promptly. so 4 stars... minus one for the driver/phone nonsense
