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.

Parcel delivery to Norway Easy to use service highly recommend it- Ive used it several times n ow and no issues. :)
Excellent service and would recommend over land. We have used various companies in the past to send our goods by air. This time we chose to send over land as it was a little cheaper. Our box arrived today in tact and earlier than expected. In fact it took less days than delivery we have had by air.
Always on time.
We have used Parcel Monkey many times usually with Parcelforce as the Carrier and have been extremely happy, in fact we recommend them to our friends who want to ship from the UK to European destinations. This time our Carrier was Norsk European Ltd and this is the first time we have had a problem. We weighed and measured our parcels (44.80 kg) before making our booking. The parcels arrived with the large plastic box damaged, the corner was smashed off and a wheel missing. Now we have received an extra charge because Norsk European says when weighed, laser scanned for precise measurement and volumetrically calculated the correct billing weight was in fact 54.49kg. 10 kilo is a very big difference and we would dispute that amount. However we have paid Parcel monkey and will continue to use them but will make sure not to use Norsk European again.
Three parcels picked up on time and all delivered to Ireland in a few days, easy to book online and reasonably priced. Good service all round.
Very good service indeed.
Very good service. Good contact
The tracking service provided in your website wouldnt work directly. I had to contact customers service where they provided me with a link to the actual delivery company.. not very straightforward The package arrived ok, though it took a bit longer than expected.
