Sent books, very well packaged/boxed to Amazon Advantage 1st March. Amazon alerted me that they received them with oil covering the box and this had leaked onto 9 out of 25 books. I got this message 48 hours after Amazon had signed for the books. In my Parcel Monkey account it stated that I had until 26th March to claim so I emailed Amazon for evidence, I received photos on the 16th March and opened the claim with Parcel Monkey.

I'm not at all surprised with the NEGATIVE response below. Basically Parcel Monkey are refusing to refund me anything because I apparently should have reported the damage within 24 hours of Amazon signing for the goods. Way to change your Terms & Conditions when you feel like it.

Its official Parcel Monkey are on the bare bones of their arse having just raised prices approx 70% and like most internet companies they believe they can do as they please with customers' money. Unfortunately not with mine, they'll be in court. I love a good day out.

Parcel Monkey you are run by cockroaches who do not support their customers, not good enough. I will watch your demise with pleasure. My Parcel Monkey account is now closed and I am using ParcelPlease.co.uk and Interparcel.com via TopCashBack.co.uk to save on each shipment versus Parcel Monkey prices.
