“Personal effects to New Zealand”

★★★★★

written by on 21/06/2015

Wanted to send daughter's ski stuff 2 New Zealand and Parcel Monkey was cheapest option. Few queries were answered efficiently by webchat. Arranged collection which was as promised. Box arrived ten days later in NZ. Took longer than expected but 5 of those days were NZ customs inspection. Delighted. Slightly concerned as updates seemed vague but contacted PM who gave me DHL ref and updated regularly. So one happy bunny! Thank you PM ..

First experience of Parcel Monkey, picked up a victorian loft ladder from Oxford and delivered it all the way to Edinburgh on time, in perfect condition all for £27. Very pleasing first time experience!

“really easy, really cheap”

★★★★★

written by internetshopper41 on 04/12/2012

Easy to put in item types and get a quote. Very cheap compared with other courier sites. Parcels collected and delivered on time and as requested via City-Link. Items scheduled to be collected next working day. As an ebay buyer I needed to have some suitcases collected from the seller and this was the most cost effective and easy way for me to do it. Less than half the price of the couriers advertised on ebay. Will definitely use again and would certainly recommend. Happy shopper.

“No Monkey Business Here!!”

★★★★★

written by on 05/04/2012

Well I think Parcel Monkey has got to be the best courier company around. Been using this company regularly for the past couple of years, first class, professional service, never let me down, the odd query I have had has always been answered very quickly by their very polite and efficient customer service team .... City Link drivers are the best - always polite and helpful, nothing is too much trouble ..... would recommend to everyone!!!

I would be interested to know how you contact their customer service team as most of us have significant trouble contacting them let alone getting an actual reply from someone who knows what is going on. If you have a number none of us know about we would be most grateful as I still have ongoing problems with them.

“EXCELLENT SERVICE”

★★★★★

written by on 17/03/2012

Been using Parcel Monkey since RM went on strike and had to find another carrier (2 years?). NEVER had a problem. Parcels delivered next day. We used to have a file for Compensation Claims with RM so many went missing and unfortunately used RM again last month for one parcel and guess what it has not been delivered! Another compensation claim to RM. Will always stick to Parcel Monkey now. Easy website, collection from your home/office and the cheapest rate we can find.

“simple to use”

★★★★★

written by on 12/03/2012

Simple and reliable! There booking in system is simple and easy to use. Very good for start up businesses who are having difficulties with courier prices direct from the companies. I was spending £3k a month on parcels through there website and not had many problems apart from a few with the couriers themselves. Price are steep now due to city link but I had a very good experience and saved slot money with the express service. People giving bad review with 1 item that they sent, I was sending 80-100 a week through them without having problems. Highly recommend!

“Great service.”

★★★★★

written by DaisyDo on 17/08/2011

I was worried about using them after reading reviews but had already booked a collection by then. However, I needn't have been. The service was amazing collecting from Sheffield by midday and delivering to South London before 9 am the next morning. I purchased a timed delivery (before 9 am) to avoid staying in all day which cost just £24 - a fraction of several other company's quotes I had received and was so impressed to get the item (chest of drawers) just after half 8 the next day. Really great service for the money spent and wouldn't hesitate to use again. Very impressed and perfect for ebay items which are usually collect in person.

“Used several times and been very impressed”

★★★★★

written by BeelzebubUK on 13/08/2011

I've used their service for a couple of international deliveries as well as several UK ones and the service has been great. I've saved a lot of money compared to the normal royal mail / parcel force options that I used to use. Have recommended to friends and will definitely be using again. Only thing I can't comment on is the customer service as I haven't had reason to. I expect a lot of the issues are with the couriers rather than with PM.

“I bought a bike on eBay and was stuggling to get it...”

★★★★★

written by Chopper71 on 19/05/2011

I bought a bike on eBay and was stuggling to get it couriered from Middlesborogh to London as a few companys said that it was oversized and couldn't take it ,one wanted to charge me over £120.It was getting extremely frustrating, I contacted City Link directly and was advised that as I didn't have a corporate account with them they couldn't deal with me directly but directed me to Parcel Monkey.

I got a quote online and arranged the courier over the net. There seemed to be a problem as I couldn't download my label and raised a ticket, this was answered with 10 mins and it all worked out fine as the label was not ready as Citylink were processing but the answer back was very fast.

After paying for the collection, I googled Parcel Monkey and was pretty shocked to see the low ratings. Started getting really worried as my bike was worth £800 new. I needn't have worried as it was picked up and I was able to track it's progress on the website. The information was excellent and reassuring.

Not too sure why the ratings are so low, maybe people only give feedback when they have a bad experience. Based on my one experience, I am delighted with Parcel Monkey. Normally I don't write reviews but am as the whole process of getting a bike couriered was frustrating until I used these guys.

Thanks

“Was rather nervous using Monkey Parcel after all the...”

★★★★★

written by on 21/04/2011

Was rather nervous using Monkey Parcel after all the bad reviews here but I'll only speak for my 1 and only experience with them. Was expecting the worse but it was a breeze using them. DHL came to pick up my documents (they did make me open up my envelope to check the contents) the next day and I was just tracking the delivery on DHL's website. Documents got to HK in less than 48 hours so was very please. Good assurance as well since I can track where the documents are every step of the way.

Certainly the most affordable of all the courier services I've found online. Think I would still be nervous if I were to use them again since they're reliability is quite poor looking at all the reviews here. Perhaps everyone's got a diff experience...that said, having checked all the other courier service's reviews, can't say monkey parcel is that much worse off compared to the others...including DHL's own review.

“Second time I've used Parcel Monkey and second time...”

★★★★★

written by on 16/04/2011

Second time I've used Parcel Monkey and second time I've had a totally trouble free experience. They don't give you a pick up time so if you don't want to waste a day off work waiting for them, do what I do and get them to pick up from your place of work.

Item was delivered at other end of country the very next morning.

To be honest I probably wouldn't use them, or any other courier for really important time limited items, but for things like ebay sales it really fits the bill at a totally affordable price.

You will need to contact the courier service with whom you've sent a parcel with in order to find out their claims procedure on this matter, you might need to wait the full estimated delivery time depending on their policy before your claim can be submitted either online or asking for form to be posted to you. Hope this helps.. Regards

Actually, if you used Parcel Monkey to send the package then you need to contact Parcel Monkey for the refund. Your contract is with Parcel Monkey, not the courier that they used.
