Well, My package wasn't even sent. I wrote a wrong address by one number and they told me to cancel it. My package was sent to the wrong address to begin with and I need delivery service to get it for me before the house owner throws my package away. Still, not even a single help reached me when my refund needed some process time. Like a lot of people, I live by the pay after each week and don't get a lot of money to rebook it without a refund. Not even a single help like contacting a UPS store to keep it when the house owner thinks of dropping it off at their store or providing any support for me. Denied every request and doesn't care probably until I rebook the damn thing because I am not a customer after I cancel the booking. Talking to them makes it feel like they just hate losing and pretty lazy about their response. They are just inflexible as much as their incompetence. I always hate the braindead service in the west, keep being passive all the time, and don't care about anything. They even insult me after I am saying that "you probably didn't really care" like it is my own fault for writing the wrong address by one number and got no intention to help rebooking customers because I am not their customer yet. What is the point of being on customer service if you can't even send one email to a company or store in association with your company to ask for help with the customer. They know it full well with all the talk we have that if they do nothing, I will lose my package and they will get nothing out of it because I am just one in a million of customers and they can't make an exception or help me with my package. Not gonna think about going back again. The Review on their own website is probably a scam since They can easily remove negative reviews from it.

Absolute rip off. Do not pay these jokers a penny. They will use Parcel force who are well known for smashing parcels and they will not pay out on a claim, or a loss, even if you pay extra insurance just as i did. They have lied and lied to me and i am out of pocket by well over £250 . They are disgusting little insects.

HI All, Do not use this company the staff are very un-helpfull, arrogant as if to say " You are wrong " would not contact the main courier company for advice . Say's on there website "Do not contact the courier" (DPD) so I did and guess what they agreed with me that there was a problem with system. I claimed back £57 plus the cost for P. Monkey to send my goods back to me another £27. Chargebacked so its costs them more money . Stuffed them HA HA. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

Just now Absolutely shocking!!! Absolutely shocking!!! Waited all day 8am-6pm no courier showed up (paid for a 24hr tracked service as had to return furniture). Paid extra too! Customer service was a bunch of robots apparently no way to contact courier service all could do was rebook for another day or refund. If you need to use a reliable service to get something delivered by a specific time and don’t have days you waste staying at home for a collection that doesn’t happen don’t use them!!!!!

My parcel was picked up and arrived in New Zealand without a problem. My issue was after delivery when I was charged an additional amount and now no one will correspond with me! I sent an item that was 1.68kg according to the manufacturer/retailer Add the wrapping and you may get close to what I weighed it at, 3kg, well within the 5kg limit for the rate paid. I have now been charged extra because They say I am 7.2kg. This is impossible! Someone has either made a mistake or is running a scam charging more after offering the best price! Be careful!!!!

I've had a terrible experience with Parcel Monkey UK. My parcel arrived damaged, and 3 pairs of sunglasses were completely bent. Despite my 300 GBP insurance coverage on my pack, the company hasn't paid for my losses. Their excuse was that I didn't hold a receipt for the glasses. The damaged glasses are still available to purchase online, and those websites clearly state the price of the sunglasses. I only advise using Parcel Monkey and its insurance services if you have a RECEIPT FOR ALL THE GOODS in the parcel otherwise having and insurance is pointless as Parcel Monkey UK will be ripping you off.

They've sent parcel and used senders details instead of the receivers which resulted in parcel being shipped around the globe and never delivered, then offered to dispose of the package. I can't find a reason why this company should exist and confuse people by suggesting that someone can actually get things delivered via their service.

Paid over £50 to send a parcel with insurance covering the items value. Courier damaged the parcel and took 3 days to deliver. Opened a claim with parcel monkey and they are offering half of the insured value, asked them to recheck there findings as I had sent them an invoice, they took 6 days to reply saying that my parcel had been packaged incorrectly. Baring in mind they had already made the offer the week prior.

"Saturday delivery option" doesn't work. Booked to deliver on Saturday and date was changed to Monday. Useless customer service thereafter. Very dissatisfied with them.

Paid additional pricey insurance for a heavy parcel I was returning in its original packaging to the supplier. It arrived damaged and looked like it had been dropped, dragged along the floor. It was a heavy carton and I was charged accordingly, as over 25kg I assume it was a 2 man lift. But on that basis it wouldn't have been so damaged. Parcel Monkey refused my claim for the £39 worth of damage I was deducted by the company for the returned goids. PM refused a payout from the insurance, ignored a posted letter and follow up email complaining. Might consider small claims court or some other avenue of claiming. Terrible PM service (24 hour delivery took 5 days too). Never use them. Cowboys.

SCAM ALERT Beware of this company. Once you pay for the service, they will recharge your credit card for more money, fraudulently claiming that the dimensions and weight were inaccurate. I had my card charged for an additional $100+ fraudulently. The company is well aware of this unscrupulous practice but continues to do so. See the attached FedEx receipt that clearly shows the package weighs 31 lbs. The company later claimed it was over 35 lbs without any proof. Sent me a bogus invoice for the additional charge. The actual dimensions on my package were 16x16x17 and Parcel monkey claims it was 35x20x17. See attached pictures.

They will not provide even the most basic tracking information without the creation of an account. I've been around far too long to give a marketing department that much personal information.

The best help I can give any future customers is AVOID AVOID AVOID this useless company. They are acting illegally when they sell insurance that covers almost nothing, tell you have a week to claim, total illegal. Parcels are flung around and they take your money with no responsibility.

DO NOT USE!! Paid for 48 hour delivery, our boxes arrived 3 days late. This we could cope with but when the boxes did arrive they were severely damaged. Whole sides were ripped off boxes and various items were smashed, broken and damaged. We packaged everything in line with the guidance and so we are obviously extremely disappointed with this service. We took out insurance and this counts for nothing!! They are refusing to give compensation for things NOT on the restricted items list. Absolute cowboys. They have broken so much of our stuff and I will have to replace it all myself.

No refunds are given for incomplete service Parcel Monkey got the fee, arranged the pick up of my luggage. A secondary deliver company (parcel force) picked up the delivery. They returned back the parcels to the pick up location 3 days later without any explanations. Parcel Monkey refuses to give refunds. I am charged for a service that is not completed at all! Parcel Monkey is a scam company, don't use them. My advice is use DHL or FedEx instead.

I insured the delivery of a TV. I clearly stated in the description during the purchase of Insurance that the Item was a TV. After they delivered my TV damaged they refused to pay for the damage telling me that TVs are not included in T&C of Insurance. They accepted and kept the money I paid for the insurance knowing the content was a TV. The support told me to write a complain and so I did. They didn't even bother to reply. On my opinion This is a scam and consumer should be protected!!!
