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.
Please note nail varnish, liquids and batteries are prohibited. Always provide the recipient contact details on your booking.

All good so far. The collection was on time, the currier was also nice. Delivery went well. I have sent another parcel so I wait for that one to arrive before saying anything else.
Packages arrived safely but delayed. So instead of two days as written on the website, it arrived after almost a week
A parcel was sent to Germany and it was collected on the expected day and arrived on the expected delivery day with no drama
very cheap and reliable service. Cheers Pete
Excellent service thanks, my expensive large package got to Czech Republic safely and my customer was very happy ???? ????
Used them 3 times. twice excellent.on one occasion took a while to get to destination abroad.but it got there .it was Christmas so if sending at Christmas give a bit extra time as Spanish delivery where very busy
Parcel collected from my door on Tuesday, arrived safely in Germany on Friday, and was much cheaper than the Post Office. Although ironically, it was the Post Office that collected it from me in the first place.
Good service and competitively priced. The estimated delivery timescale was 3-5 days and that was spot on. Ive used other couriers when Ive sent large parcels to mainland Spain and this is the first time that its been a problem free experience.
