Please avoid using this company. We had a very important consignment going to Spain. They said were issues with the address - it was in fact accurate, however we suggested alternative pick up points (rural southern Spain). Despite reiterating this repeatedly over the course of a week, Parcel Monkey failed to convey the information to the local delivery team and the parcel is now on its way back to Scotland. What is extra frustrating is that there is no way of talking to these guys on the phone - very poor customer service. There is no way of raising a complaint or the level of customer support. There are only what seems to be pre-programmed, impersonal messages. Now we have lost a major customer. There is no clear complaints procedure that is immediately apparent on the websit. Absolutely the worst experience to date, and I have been exporting for over 10 years.

Offer a good selection of carriage choices and competitive prices hard to beat for packages, unfortunately, when we tried the pallet service it was let down by the carrier not collecting the pallet, although that was not Parcel Monkeys fault, rather the pallet carrier not doing their job.

So the price seemed OK, and I liked the ability to compare and see the best value options through the website. Collection was fine, I had carefully weighed, wrapped and labelled the package (a DeLonghi coffee machine I was shipping to Australia as part of my emigrating there from the UK). I was subsequently hit with a further charge, apparently this was because the courier had used lasers to "volumetrically calculate" my parcels weight, and they billed me roughly a further 10% of what I had already paid. OK thats fine Ill pay what I owe to get my item over to the new house. After a while, my father-in-law signed for a small parcel with my name on it. On opening the parcel, there were some reflective lights inside. On closer inspection, the label with my details on had been affixed over a label for a gentleman in Victoria, Australia, 2250km away. The gentleman’s name was completely different to mine, his parcel much smaller and 11kg lighter than mine. I got in touch with Parcel Monkey and it was deeply frustrating to say the least. Each time I had to deal with a different person, several people seemed unable to understand the situation and I found myself re-explaing the problem over and over again via their online chat system. When I asked to deal with management, there seemed to be some reluctance by the member of staff I was dealing with to refer it on, but eventually I got through. Unfortunately, after several weeks and multiple investigations with the courier, I was told my parcel would be unrecoverable, and they would not provide any assitance in forwarding on the parcel I incorrectly received. They said as I had not purchased additional cover they would not do any more than provide a refund for the sending of the parcel in the first place. It just took up so much time and money and effort, particularly over the Christmas period, and in the end, Parcel Monkey just passed the buck on to the courier and washed their hands of the situation. If I could give anyone some advice, it would be spend 5min researching couriers, go direct, and that way there are clear lines of responsibility when things go wrong. DO NOT USE PARCEL MONKEY!!!!!

Good service.

OK but DHL who collected the parcel didnt leave a certificate of collection and I kept getting emails saying they tried to deliver but no one home and will try again at my address! So I had to call DHL direct who put me through to 3 different departments before I got an answer of " we can only speak to the recipient not the sender!"

Доставка хорошая. Все в целости и сохранности.

I will never use Parcel Monkey again or recommend them to anyone . On the day they were meant to another couriers they never turned up . There were two of us in all day so there is no way we missed them . However the message on my account said they attempted collection . I rearranged collection online for the next day with them and they didnt come that day either . I ended up having to take my parcel to the Parcel Force depot myself . Absolutely useless .
