Everything excellent! Parcel monkey and DPD done an excellent job. Nearly 1 year without see my mum, dad and family, I decided to send a box to Portugal with some small gifts for them. Parcel monkey and DPD helped me a lot, delivering a "bit o mysel" to my parents. My mum cried when received the box. Thank you so much for deliver good emotions to others.

I sent bicycle rack to a buyer in England. Parcel Monkey offered the best deal for large packages. It went via Parcel Force. I was able to track it all the way. Very impressed with their service. Will definitely use them again. Thank you Parcel Monkey

I tried to use Parcel2go and got a cheaper option, however the collection box did no work. I went to Parcel Monkey and only got the choice of one carrier, but this was quick and efficient.

I paid and ordered a next day delivery which never happened. the parcel was never picked up. When trying to sort out the issue I was told that there is no guarantee that parcels will be delivered next day even if you pay for it. In the end Parcel Monkey helped me to reschedule but I was offered no compensation for the missed delivery because Parcel Monkey leaned back on their T&Cs rather than thinking about the customer. A simple aploogy and compensation , paying for the delivery would have been sufficient and this review would have had 3 more stars.

Really pleased with the service provided by parcel monkey. It was my first experience in posting parcels this way. It was so easy, just filled out the paperwork and it was collected on the day and delivered within the 48hrs. Brilliant !
The only comment I would make is that it would be great to be given a delivery time scale as I had to wait in for my parcels to be delivered. That may have been possible though but I didn’t see any information regarding this.

Parcel delivery was great; price was very competitive would have been 5 stars but had to ring the helpline for the labels due to problem with website, may have been my browser and although resolved quickly and efficiently with a link provided by online chat it was a nuisance hence 4 *

This was the first time I have sent a parcel to Australia, I was really pleased with Parcel Monkey UK it took all the uncertainty and possible errors out of the equation.
The comparison of couriers prices, step by step guide with all the documents required and even safe packing of the parcel to ensure the contents arrived in one piece was brilliant.
Can definitely recommend them and i certainly will use them again.

I have been using the company’s services for 3 years now and had sent 10 parcels to different countries. I have not had any issues at all. They collect goods as stated and deliver swiftly using multiple providers.

Just good service
14/10/20 by Customer M.Antonucci
Really pleased with the service. Easy to get a quote, set up the collection and delivery. And best price I found, as well.

First class service as usual, 6/7 years using them with zero problems.

A parcel was dropped off at a post office on 15th September and has now gone missing with no tracking info, I have given Parcelmonkey the Proof of Postage, a written letter from the recipient stating non delivery, a signed letter from the post office manager who confirms the parcel was collected after viewing the CCTV. On two occasions now Parcelmonkey say the claim has been rejected by the courier Parcelforce as the parcel was not collected, this parcel was worth £750, do not expect Parcelmonkey to be of any assistance if you have any problems with your parcel, once they have your money they wash their hands of you. This parcel was fully insure too!!! I have sent hundreds of parcels with this company so clearly loyalty counts for nothing. This is now in the hands of my solicitor

I find Parcel Monkey useful when booking parcels for ParcelForce - the rates are very good.

Easy to use website. Polite & helpful staff when dealing in person.

Can’t fault the booking system, however the delivery from dhl was appalling!! Left parcel outside in the rain and claimed a 6 year old signed for it!! As it was a gift addressed to a child. I won’t even bother complaining to DHL as trying to get through to customer service is a nightmare!

Fast efficient and cheap service

Mostly a good , simple way of sending parcels. One annoyance is that from time to time they say there is a problem with an address even though weve shipped to that same address many times. This normally gets corrected but the response when the problem is flagged is not that quick.
14/10/20 by Jerry Judd
Excellent and affordable service. A parcel was sent from the UK to Zambia and arrived in 7 days. Cant fault it at all.

I left parcel today office at 11am Wed morn and was delivered at 11am Friday morn.
Was delighted with service from Parcel Monkey

Easy to use website, and importantly, no need to print out labels so ideal when using a phone.

I have used Parcel Monkey numerous times and still cannot believe the savings. I booked a 27 kilo parcel through them with Parcelforce, 24 Hour Signed For. Cost with extra insurance just under £16. I looked to see how much booking direct with Parcelforce would be - just over £48, extra insurance not included. Booking is easy and all you have to do is print the address label, either from the website or from the confirmatory email. Parcelforce collected the parcel as arranged.

Shockingly bad... arranged collection for Thursday via Courier, repeated emails to say they are comnig spanning till the next Monday. Then get a message saying they tried to collect but we werent home.....its a business address with 6 staff and CCTV, crackers beause even when we explained it was lies they had attended they simply waited till the next day to attend. Overall a week to get a parcel to a client on a next day service.

I sent two parcels bound together which became detached and never made it to the recipient. One item was returned to me and the other is lost somewhere in a Parcelforce Depo. Despite paying for insurance, I have lost my money on the item as it was on Parcel Monkeys exhaustive list of prohibited items. They sent a "sorry it was on the list and please accept our sincere apologies" type message and seemed to have washed their hands and are not helping me find the lost item or refunding me for NOT delivering the items to the recipient. I have asked it they can help me locate the item in a lost property department and no one is responding!!!!

Quick reliable service to Turkey. More cost effective for slightly larger parcels.
