Frequently Asked Questions

  • What time will my package be collected?

    Delivery companies make package collections throughout the day and they do not normally provide you with a set time of when they will come to collect. If you are able to wait at home for the package to be picked up, the collection windows the couriers use are from 8 am to 6 pm.

    If the courier does come and you are not in they may leave a calling card with further instructions but if not just contact our customer support team and we will be happy to rebook a new collection slot for you. Parcel Monkey is not a courier so we do not make the collections, but we will contact the service provider and resolve any missed collection issues for you. 

    Not able to wait at home? Book a collection from a work address. Another option is to leave the package with someone else you know and trust and when you book the delivery company, set up the collection from their address.

    If this type of collected service is not suitable for you, why not book a drop off option such as DHL eCommerce, or choose from many of our other drop off services.

  • Can I arrange for it to be collected from someone else?

    Yes, Parcel Monkey allows you to arrange a collection of your package from wherever you want it to be collected from as long as you provide a valid address.

    Our courier services can help you book a collection for somebody else, maybe a relative, so that all they have to do is print the shipping label and any customs documents and attach them to the package. 

    Sometimes people selling on eBay might not be willing to arrange the shipping, so you can use the Parcel Monkey shipping calculator to sort your own shipping and then the sender just has to prepare the package and hand it over to the courier when they come to collect. 

    There is a long list of reasons why you might need to have a package collected from someone else at an alternate address.

  • When will my label be available?

    The shipping label is the most important thing you need to have correct in order for the courier to know where you item is being sent to, and on what delivery service. 

    Shipping labels will appear on your account a few minutes after you have placed the order, but please allow up to 20 minutes before contacting us as often it is awaiting verification of addresses from your chosen shipping company.  If the label does not appear or you receive an error message, please contact our support team who will be able to assist with this.

    Labels should be attached securely to the box so that they do not come off in transit, so the courier companies can have full view of all the shipping details to prevent any issue with the goods being delivered. You may be provide more than one shipping label. so if this is the case it is important to attach them both to the box securely. These labels are both used, one to take your package to a sort depot in the US, and the second one to the final delivery address. DHL eCommerce is an example of this type of labelling.
