Parcel Monkey's Europe by Road service allows you to send your parcels into Europe from the UK for less, using our discounted courier rates. It is simply a hybrid set up, and due to the volumes of goods we ship with the couriers involved, they give us low-cost courier rates.
The goods are collected from your home or work address by a premium courier such as Parcelforce, who then take it to a Freight Forwarder who then dispatch the parcel to Europe via Road.
The service comes with full tracking door to door, so you can follow the parcel using the tracking number provided at the time of booking.
Parcel Monkey Europe by Road is perfect service for goods that do not need an Express Courier, which may suit customers who are looking to keep the cost of shipping down. The road service is designed to make customers lives easier as you can still enjoy full door to door tracking. The courier, generally Parcelforce will come to collect your parcel between 8 am and 6 pm.
The only difference would be that the transit time may take a little longer than an air express service, but transit times via road or air into the relatively local market of Europe are all around 2-4 working days anyway.
The Parcel Monkey Europe by Road service comes into its own when sending large or heavy goods, as sending such freight by air can be costly. Shipping these by road is far more cost effective and if you are relocating or have something large to send you can still do so in a reasonable shipping time, without having to spend a fortune.
Send a 40kg parcel to Germany using this service from around £52 + VAT
Send a 40kg parcel to Italy using this service from around £60 + VAT
Send a 40kg parcel to France using this service from £53 + VAT
Send a 40kg parcel to the Republic of Ireland using this service from £50 + VAT
The goods are still shipped by premium courier services, based on our long-standing relationships with carriers such as Parcelforce and DHL who route the parcels via a freight forwarder.
Our Europe by Road courier prices is a fraction of the amount that the more established shipping companies charge and the only sacrifice is an extra day or two for delivery time. The costs are kept low as we provide the couriers with a large volume of orders every day, so in turn, they give us a discounted rate which we pass on to you.
Our courier partners are agile enough to help resolve problems whereas some of the larger couriers would simply return the goods, whereas on this service the utmost effort will be made to fix any problems.

Sent some books to myself ahead of my move to Portugal. Tracking was completely broken. Selected the parcelmonkey by road option and the tracking was claiming delivery before the package even left the country. Also, pretty sure it was sent by plane and not road. Ended up having to interact with one of the subcontracted companies a submit documents parcelmonkey already had for customs purposes, as well as paying some customs charges on personal goods.
Timely delivery, user friendly website, highly recommend ????
Service was great. Price was convenient.
Parcel collected as instructed and delivered on time and in perfect condition - thanks
Excellent service. My parcel arrived in Gibraltar ???????? in the same condition I handed it over to the Parcel Monkey driver. Very impressed with this service and will certainly use it again.
Sending a rather large and unwieldy parcel from UK to the furthest Eastern borders of Bulgaria, without spending a fortune, in the week before Christmas had the potential for disaster BUT all went well. Online ordering, payment, label printing couldn’t have been easier. Pick up was exactly as advised. Tracking throughout was easy and kept me informed and the final delivery to my village house in the middle of nowhere was perfect. Highly recommend.
4 parcels, 3 to Yorkshire, one to Sweden. 2 arrived on time and were well tracked, Another arrived safely but was not tracked. The 4th. arrived safely but much later than expected. It was held for a long time at Copenhagen. Tracking was not very good.
Pleased my parcel arrived on time for Christmas but tracking could have been been better not very informative or up to date.
