Perfect Delivery Service
30/09/24 by Darren
I used their online service, paid for the UPS Express 1-day service to ship from UK to London. A label is supposed to be sent to you - no label was sent to me. I was told to wait for 60mins. And by that time their customer service had closed at 5pm. So no package was able to be sent out. Dont use - its just a pack of scammers. I used ParcelHero instead, and a label was sent to me ASAP as you would expect. Now I need to claim the money back from these Monkey people. Apt name.

Poorly trained staff sending the same message over and over. They are also never in a haste to chase things up. My parcel is yet to be returned after over 4weeks. I paid for the return yet they emailed me again today that I may have to pay again. Beware of parcelmonkey.

I sent a small parcel via FedEx.Kettering to Bristol. It was dropped off at 2.50pm on the 23rd September. I paid for next day delivery. It has not yet arrived. Today is the 30th September. I tracked it. It left my town on Thursday and spent 3 days in Newcastle. It apparently will be delivered in Bristol today. Awful. Parcel monkey has always been spot on in the past but theyreally need to check their clients advertising. I could have walked to Bristol with it by now!

I’ve used Parcel Monkey for my last four shipments, and the pricing is more competitive than booking directly with the couriers. The parcels have always arrived on time, with clear status updates at every stage

Simple, very efficient, good communication and tracking.
Parcel sent to Brunei, arrived 6 days later! Excellent service.
Will use again & again!
Have used other delivery companies in the past, none have been this good!

Not happy at all with the tracking system. The number given to me has been unrecognised by their app. And am still not sure if my purchase had reached its destination

Useful to be able to compare shipping prices all on one site. Easy to use.

Its good when its good. Once there is a problem CS people are absolutely useless.

Package hasn’t been collected as yet.

Paid for 24hr next day delivery with parcel force. Dropped off at post office on a Sat and missed the post was collected Mon afternoon and didnt arrive till Wed Noon time some 48hrs later!! The agent I spoke with on PM was absolutely no use asking for evidence of me sending such as invoices and pictures of the item all because I said the tracking information wasnt showing as collected or even where the item was until the Mon 6pm onwards in which I called the post office directly which they was more helpful than parcel monkey!! Moral of the story go to the post office and pay them rather than be told to go back to the third party to talk via text which didnt solve anything at all!!

It was very easy to find the best company with the best price to use to send my 10 kg parcel.
I was able to drop my parcel off at a location close to home and it was delivered the following day.

Evri have always done a good job for us both delivering and sending parcels.
27/09/24 by ROGER
Very bad service. They didnt provide a photo as proof of delivery. I called them twice, but they couldnt help, or rather, they didnt want to help. They just said, Oh, we cant help you, call later. We even checked the CCTV, and no one came to deliver the parcel at the time they provided in the tracking.

Easy to use web site.
Found the best price and best date that suited me.

Item damaged. Made claim in July.Had to settle out of court in late September. Compensation paid by BACS which took 5 working days to arrive. Very little, almost non-existent communication from Customer Service or Claims Team. Extremely poor customer service standards. Had to send a Letter before Action for them to acknowledge their liability. Will not be using them or sister company another courier again.

Parcel Monkey directed us to many options from which to choose our service, so Im happy with that. I chose EVRI as they were one of the cheaper options and Ive had stuff delivered successfully by them before (even though Ive never arranged a collection from anyone, so I had no previous experience to go on). This didnt go so well and the problem is that theres no-one to speak to about problems that arise. I went to their website and typed through all the options on the chatbot, explaining the problem as clearly as I could; I did have the tracking number so that did help. I then followed up with a phonecall, but this was simply an AI experience as well. They said, "I can see there is a query on your order. We aim to resolve issues within 24 hours". 3 working days later, I was still trying to get through to someone to find out what was happening. Theres no way to find out the status of your query or to speak to a real person, so I ended up just having to cancel and take the parcel down to the post office. I hope I get a refund but havent seen it yet.

The package was stuck in the warehouse for more than the estimated time of delivery and till now, there is no delivery date thats confirmed. I am really disappointed and outraged by the service and there are no updates of when the package is going to be delivered

No email or phone communication of progress of parcel. Parcel was return to sender without even a phone call or email.
27/09/24 by Customer
Was stupid enough to use this company to send a parcel down the country. I packaged it extremely well, with "handle with care" label, and the buyer received it damaged. However, the worst part of all this is how they have dealt with it afterwards! I paid extra for insurance cover just incase they decided to handle it incorrectly and throw it about - which they did. Put a claim in, sent all pics and info and my claim was approved. But, after almost a week of them telling me they sent payment via BACS - still nothing and they are now ignoring me. Shambless of a company and I cant stress enough for people to avoid. I will be taking this further - embarrassing ????♂️

Excellent Shipping Comparison Site
First time I have ever had to ship large parcels to the US. Parcel Monkey just made the process so easy. Even the customs invoice was a doddle!
