AVOID! Shocking. Actual customer service is non existent. You cannot communicate with a human at all...if it goes wrong, they just blame the shipping company, so, in essence, they can get away with whatever they want and take your money (especially if its already lost / stuck in transit). I am currently trying to claim my money back for 2 unsuccessful attempts to collect and deliver items...my customers were very unhappy. The courier company (Courier) lied about coming to collect, saying I wasnt in...I waited in all day and my CCTV proves they didnt come (Avoid them like the plague too). When I queried with Parcel Monkey, nothing was done, no apology, no compensation, no solution. Whats the point in using them if they wont help when something goes wrong? I took them to the post office in the end and paid more, so Im over £75 down. Use these at your peril, knowing the risks...if it works, its fine...if it doesnt, you are totally screwed. The mark of a bad (dodgy) company is not having a direct live chat and / or customer service phone number so you can speak to a manager, or be dealt with in present time...they dont have this so they can hide behind emails that take hours to arrive... Go direct instead, try DPD (reliable, friendly, and with GPS tracking and 1hour delivery slots), or Royal Mail. Avoid Parcel Monkey, Courier, Hermes & UPS...look at the google reviews too...it speaks for itself...I will never use this company again.

Poor service on this occasion . Having booked a parcel to be delivered by parcel force to Gibraltar through parcel monkey I was disappointed that lt took 8 days to reach its destination , rather than the 4 days advertised by parcel force . This is the 3rd time using parcel monkey in 3 months ,and they are usually excellent. I’m putting this occasion down to a blip .

Would recommend, love the fact that their preprint your label for collection and you can track your parcel and it looks like they getting better looking after the parce,but wish it was easier to contact them if a problem does arise and maybe send a text to the person the parcels going to not everyone has email,do they no when to expect the parcel

Booked a collection slot for the next day. Received a text to say what time the parcel would be collected, and no one turned up. Stayed in all day then just incase the text was a flook, but still no one arrived to collect my parcel. I went onto the website and had to rebook the collection for the next day (luckily, I didnt have to pay again). The next day came, the driver came to collect and then got funny with me because there was only one parcel, when on his paperwork it said there should be two. I ordered the collection before the cut off point, so dont understand why this happened.

I paid for a parcel which weighed just over 2kg. I had paid for 2.5kg but we just did not have anything more to send my family abroad. I felt at the time it was a bit of a waste, but nonetheless sent it off. I was absolutely astounded today to receive a notification from parcel monkey to say that they had made a deduction from my credit card as the weight was 4kg. The problem is you have absolutely no way to prove your case. You are relying on the integrity of your supplier, and in this case there seems to be serious “MONKEY BUSINESS”

Parcel Monkey great at finding good deals so very happy with the service. However, my international parcel was damaged and then lost but eventually turned up. I believe not the fault of PM but the courier. Will use PM again ????

Awful company. Parcel held for 8 weeks in Italy with no explanation. Fobbed off over email by Parcel Monkeys poor excuse for a Customer Services department who couldnt be bothered to pick up the phone to their carriers. Never send items abroad with these people. Cost a lot of time and still no items in sight.

However the delivery courier lets the service down.

I will never use parcel monkey again, not only did a 24hour service take 4 days, they charged me £82 in fines to send a simple parcel within my own country just because the weight was off by a few kg. Awful rip off

Still have not received my parcel after 4 days waiting. Called parcelforce 4 times and they have yet been able to update me about the collection or delivery. They also have not contacted me once.
