Claim damage and lost items
I bougth a service to bring my stuff from the UK to Portugal from Parcel Monkey via DPD on 02/01/2024 (3 days delivery) but on the other way I never received and was returned from DPD on 10/01/2024. The package was visibly damaged and, upon inspection, revealed missing items from the original shipment.The returned package arrived with evident damage, and upon further examination, it was discovered that Air Jordan 1 Mid "Bred" Collector's Edition, was lost, £350 is the of value because of rarity and condition.Nintendo Switch £200. ASUS ROG Gamer Edition the value for an ASUS ROG gaming laptop can vary greatly based on the model, specifications, and condition, this one was already used but I still paid for it £500. Timberland boots £100.. The condition in which the package arrived is concerning, and the missing items greatly impact my satisfaction with the return process.
Claimed loss: Around £1100
Desired outcome: £1500

parcel delivery
I paid for a same day collection and delivery service of a very important item that I was taking to a funeral.
No-one turned up on the day, and no reason why.
The next day someone said they'd attempted collection, which they hadn't.
It was collected, and has been sent to two different depots, and still not reached me, it is now four days late.
This is a very very personal item that is of great sentimental value and part of a funeral ceremony.
The staff at parcel monkey are no help at all.
I am terrified I've lost my item. My whole family are upset. I can't believe it hasn't got here and there are no updates and no reasons why.
What are you going to do?
Desired outcome: I want my item!!!
Is Parcel Monkey Legit?
Parcel Monkey earns a trustworthiness rating of 91%
Highly recommended, but caution will not hurt.
A long registered date for parcelmonkey.com can be seen as a positive aspect for Parcel Monkey as it indicates a commitment to maintaining the website and its domain name for a long period of time. It also suggests that the company is organized and has taken steps to secure its online presence.
The age of Parcel Monkey's domain suggests that they have had sufficient time to establish a reputation as a reliable source of information and services. This can provide reassurance to potential customers seeking quality products or services.
Parcelmonkey.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.
Parcelmonkey.com has been deemed safe to visit, as it is protected by a cloud-based cybersecurity solution that uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to help protect networks from online threats.
Several positive reviews for Parcel Monkey have been found on various review sites. While this may be a good sign, it is important to approach these reviews with caution and consider the possibility of fake or biased reviews.
We looked up Parcel Monkey and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information
This website offers payment methods that provide the option for customers to get their money back, which could be a positive indicator of the company's commitment to customer satisfaction.
However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:
- While Parcel Monkey has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 3% of 57 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
- Parcel Monkey protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.
Missing Package
I used PM to ship my package and it has never arrived. I contacted PM customer service multiple times. They global team is non-existent. There is no number to reach and you basically have to wait for them to respond to their lies.
I even contacted the CEO asking him very nicely to return the cost of content in the box and of course, silence. I even paid insurance for my package.
Desired outcome: Return $150, which is the content of the package. This is a legal document, which I had to write on the immigration customs form for UPS.
Lost Package Claim Form
I shipped a UPS parcel via Parcel Monkey. The package was lost in the mail. After 3 months of back and forth, Parcel Monkey says they have finalized the claim with UPS, but will not give me the documentation from UPS with the tracking number associated with the lost parcel. PayPal will only refund me if they get a notice from UPS saying that the parcel was lost. Now I'm out almost $700 because they will not give me this information
Desired outcome: Claims form from UPS with the lost parcel tracking number.
Overcharged
I was ordering the courier, he didn't collect the package because it was wrap wrongly, so the person who was sending me that did it again and they collected next day.
Now they are charging me £124.60 for bigger packages. Together with my previous payment it's £169.11 in total for sending dog guard , which is a flat piece of metal weight 3kg!
It's that a joke? I need from them a proof of how much bigger and much heavier was than I was telling them.
I ordered courier on the 17th and paid for it (£44.51). Today 27th they charged me £124.60 saying that my parcel was bigger and heavier than I said! Not true! They want me to provide evidence. They don't want provide evidence from their side. Help me, please!
Expedited Shipping
I paid for shipping that was due to arrive in 5 to 10 working days on a box from USA to Australia - it took a month. The kicker, though, was that when I wrote a review on their site and gave it a low mark, they removed it as violating their policy..so I watered it down, saying only that I would continue to use Parcel Monkey but would avoid that carrier going forward - STILL violated their policy. I wrote and asked if they ONLY accepted positive reviews, got a response just reiterating that reviews that violate their policy are removed. lol. SO, don't let all the high mark reviews on their site trick you into thinking they are flawless.
Desired outcome: Warning other customers
Shipping - parcel was damaged never received and cannot get damage claim processed.
I shipped and oven from Illinois to Rhode Island.
Cost was 139.00
I also paid UPS 150.00 to package the oven. I paid insurance for 390.00.
The damaged oven was sent to parcel money location in New York.
The oven cost 5K.
They have not sent oven and have gone thru escalated support message process since July.

Shipping to India
In August, I tried to return a watch back to a shop (Pink Moon Jewel) in Surat, India
as it was not as described. This was through Parcel Monkey. After 12 days they said the recipient wasn't there to accept it and 16 days after that it was returned to me saying they had insufficient address. I tried again. They collected it from me 12th September and it has been stuck in customs since the 16th September. No one can tell me anything. It has cost me nearly £60 in postage for both attempts. I keep getting told that once it's left the UK it has nothing to do with them. Who is responsible for my order? The return is for £250. I can't afford to lose that amount. Plus the postage costs.
Desired outcome: My monies back on both postage attempts fir the amount of stress they have caused me and either a refund on the watch value, or my item delivered to the recipient so I can get a refund from them for the watch.

Lots of double talk from Parcel Monkey Customer services. Just want to know Where is my package? And what do these thieves want with birthday cards and family photos for an elderly relative?
Desired outcome: I just want the cost of the shipping refunded $42 USD and also the contents which according to the service I purchased means I'm covered for $100 USD. So that would be $142 USD.

I paid for one day delivery package on 13th May. It's 17th May already and parcel is still in the USA!

Laptop couriering and delivery
We arranged a brand new laptop (costing £550) to be collected by Parcel Monkey from our north London and delivered in Manchester in January this year.
Unfortunately, the laptop was delivered completely smashed with the screen cracked. The laptop was very secure in its original manufacturer packaging, so it must have been hit with extreme force to cause such magnitude damages.
Parcel Monkey has instantly dismissed our complaint citing Parcel Monkey terms and conditions which essentially state that the company doesn’t have to deliver goods undamaged, and accepts zero responsibility at all times.
Desired outcome: Full refund and compensation
Unauthorized additional charges
This company is an absolute scam! I used multitude of services for over a year and periodically I would noticed additional charges, additional charges, it got to the point where nearly every package had an additional charge and these were not small amount 50.00, 60.00, sometimes 148. Dollars additional charges in over a year I prob lost at least 500-1k dollars using this criminalized shipping company. The last issue I had was regarding a specific package that I had images and weight documented at drop off that came back at nearly 150.00 additional charges and I argues back and forth with them they help in absolutely no way, im convinced its primarily computers operating sending messaging and bogus names! Im surprised the company has not been shut down for fraud because it sure appears that they specifically lure in customers knowing they have your credit card ir debit card and will abuse it, not a matter of if. They are crude and rude enough that they will make up anything to charge you additional fees. Please someone investigate this business and shut them down, what a shame. Do not use them!
Desired outcome: NOT RESOLVED , THEY ARE NO HELP STILL OUT 148.07 AND MORE!!
Parcels destroyed by Parcel Monkey due to inaccurate Customs Declaration
I am absolutely appalled at Parcel Monkey who has messaged to say they have destroyed the 4 parcels which I have shipped through them (paying circa $300) from the US and intended for the UK.
In their brief communication, Parcel Monkey state that I have inaccurately completed the customs declaration and since the parcels contain cigars they have destroyed the parcels! They then followed up with a link to their Terms & Conditions - las if anyone truly reads through all the Ts&Cs!
Firstly, I have committed no crime nor am I transporting illegal goods. The parcels have not yet left US Shores and so they can simply be returned to sender if indeed they don't want to ship the contents of my parcels internationally.
Secondly, I have made the declaration that any customs charges applicable to my parcels in the UK will be paid.
Finally, they have no right to "destroy" my personal goods before writing to me to obtain clarification.
Clearly I am not convinced that they have destroyed the items as they have provided no evidence or proof despite me explicitly requesting this - they have in fact completely ignored this part of my communication in their response.
Needless to say I will not sit back and accept this. If they do not locate my items and either ship back to sender; or ship to the intended address, I will without prejudice take legal action against them.
They have provided no evidence that the parcels have been destroyed and I will be escalating this matter externally unless they recover the parcels and return to sender.
Any evidence they do have, must show both the time and date the parcels were destroyed to verify that this was not done after I raised an issue.
Notwithstanding any evidence they provide, they have no right to destroy my personal goods (which are not illegal substances or goods) and certainly not before contacting me to obtain clarification.
In the interest of an amicable solution, I hope that they recover my parcels and either return to sender, or ship to intended address.
Desired outcome: All parcels and their content to either be returned to shipper or shipped to intended address
After six weeks of excuses, Parcel Monkey is refusing to resolve my Claim
I shipped a package through Parcel Monkey on 05-26-2021, using FedEx as the shipping service :
Actual Weight: 36.99 lbs
CAD: [protected]/WSXl2600
Parcel Monkey Number: PMS65FDNPMS65FDNOID5693688
FedEx Tracking Number : [protected]
Package was shipped from Henderson NV to Seattle WA.
The package contained a 1957 Singer Sewing machine, the first "portable" mid-sized sewing machine made.
I paid for $300 insurance on the package, even though the sewing machine was heavily packed in bubble wrap and plastic packing material.
The box was dropped in transit and the box was noted to be damaged by the new owner upon arrival (the bottom edge of the box was crushed and pushed upward.
The box was clearly marked in Bold/Large Print "FRAGILE" on all sides and "PLEASE DO NOT DROP" was also marked clearly on all six sides.
The 1957 Singer Sewing machine was in its own case. The box was dropped from an unsafe height or was otherwise mis-handled to the extent that one corner of the sewing machine's case (the actual base for operation of the machine) was broken. The bottom of the case/box forms a box-base, upon which the machine needs to be attached in order to operate. It functioned flawlessly before FedEx dropped it and now it will not operate because the machine's sewing head appears to have been bent as well. Neither the box nor the sewing machine can be repaired. They are not designed to be dropped hard enough to break the case and bend the sewing head.
I reported the loss immediately to Parcel Monkey after being informed by the recipient that the box and contents were damaged.
Parcel Monkey sent me a Claim Form and all the photos that were requested (from me before the damage and from the new owner AFTER it was damaged in transit) were provided with the completed Claim form to Parcel Monkey during the LAST WEEK OF MAY, 2021.
I received notice from Parcel Monkey that all photos, along with the completed Claim Form and the valuation for the package (actual outlay was $314 but the insurance was only for $300) had been forwarded to their "Investigations Desk". It was inferred that their (Parcel Monkey) Investigation would take place concurrently with a FedEx Investigation before the Insurance payment could be issued.
It has been over six weeks since Parcel Monkey received all the requested information and advised me that the "investigation" was in process.
Every time I've asked for Status of the Claim, the request prompts a ridiculous response...the latest being that the "investigation (still won't say if it's Parcel Monkey's or FedEx's alleged investigation) is delayed because of Covid-19 requirements for maintaining social distancing."
I have asked ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS for the FedEx Claim Number and contact number for the FedEx Investigations Desk and keep receiving "not authorized to provide that information" replies.
I feel that, after six weeks, FedEx has had more than enough time to review a simple damage claim and pay the insurance amount. As a Fraud Investigator, I work with Claims Investigators every day and have NEVER seen such incompetence...either by FedEx for not being able to handle this simple claim investigation OR by PARCEL MONKEY for treating their customers like we are stupid.
TO DATE, I have still not received what I've asked for (FedEx Claim Number and phone contact so I can inquire why they are refusing to pay a legitimate claim after 6 weeks) and/or received a response from Parcel Monkey that is not a "canned" reply from a Bot.
I have never heard from anyone at FedEx and neither has the recipient of the damaged package. Someone is not telling the truth and I believe it is Parcel Monkey who is delaying resolution of this simple claim.

Please Note that I am attaching selected photos from BEFORE the damage occurred, AFTER the box was dropped by FedEx, as well as photos of the box and packaging materials after it was received by the person who bought machine in Seattle WA. There are many additional photos, ALL of which accompanied the Claim Form when it was sent to Parcel Monkey on 05-30-2021.
Desired outcome: Have FedEx Pay the Claim immediately (it has been over six weeks) or explain why they are refusing to pay it so I can take their information to the Better Business Bureau and Complaint forums on Social Media.
Package lost
The company just lost my package and don't give me any explanation.
The only explanation was "Unfortunately we lost your package".
They don't have any responsibility to manage someone's object.
Edit 2021-03-09:
They still saying "Unfortunately we lost your package".
Refusal to refund a lost parcel
I have just been contacted by Parcel Monkey saying that they will only refud the cost of the postage not the value of the parcel, despite admiting that they lost the parcel.
Shipment PM8181129 was collected via the Parcelforce 48 service on 8 April 2020. The item was not delivered and after a few messages they informed me that they will only refund the postage costs as they were not notified that the parcel was not delivered within 10 days of the expected delivery. This was an online sale and I had no idea that the parcel had been lost.
The recipient expects a refund and I expect to be reimbursed for the lost parcel.
The value of the parcle was £120 and the cost of delivery was £12.89
Invoice: 6837524
A parcel sent from UK to Qatar
I sent a parcel to Qatar through parcel monkey There was a mistake on parcel invoice fedex called me to query value which said £11.200 I said absolutely not it's approx £200 they said they would amend it. But the parcel arrived still with value at £11.200 so Qatar customs wanted £600 which I cannot and will not pay. Contacted parcel monkey and after many exchanges saying I can't pay it and it's not worth it and also can't send it back as I'm in Qatar not UK anymore, parcel monkey are still saying I will have to pay for disposal but not telling how much. I do not see why I should be more out of pocket with the cost of sending was£140 and the the mistake was Fedex did Not amend the the value of my parcel. Regards giovanna vettese
Have you came to any conclusion here as I am in a similar situation ?
Item not picked and instruction not followed
I placed an order on 2nd Feb/20 for an item to be picked from Las Vegas to Ireland fully paid. Parcel Monkey confirmed that item will be picked from Las Vegas on 17th Feb/20.
Several dates were mentioned in which FedEx was to collect item and never did. I was frustrated with their team emails reassuring a pickup that never happened.
I requested for refund they didn't confirm, my money is not refunded item not collected. THIS IS A SCAM COMPNAY PLEASE RUN AWAY FROM THEM. RUN, RUN, RUN!
