Have your item collected and delivered the same day by express courier in the UK. Learn more.
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 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.

Great service
Delivered after we werent available first time. Very impressed they tried a second time.
Very disappointed with this delivery because I have given 5 well deserved star ratings previously. Parcel was indeed received by international recipient 12 days after collection (6 had been quoted on carrier choice), however the collection and tracking of this parcel was very poor. The carrier company arrived as planned but was a very negative and unfriendly individual, saying that they were not informed the parcel was so big and didnt know if there was enough room on the collection vehicle. There was fortunately but I didnt feel confident about the parcel arriving at its destination at this point. The parcel was only tracked to its English hub prior to continuing on to Europe. The tracking link on Parcel Monkey stopped working once it had been delivered to this hub with no explanation or details. The tracking number I had been left with only tracked to the hub. The recipient was receiving emails to let them know when the parcel would be delivered, I however received no communications and relied on recipient to let me know when it would be delivered.
Collected and delivered as per agreed. Very good in that respect. Price a little higher than I expected with hidden additions to initial price. The next time I will shop around a little more - just to be sure that I have the best price.
Good value, quick delivery to Germany (although didnt collect parcel until day after scheduled collection date). Parcel arrived in good condition.
Very efficient service offering a good value for money solution compared to the household names. Based on my experience I would certainly use them again.
Great service, prompt pick over and delivery.
