Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

1.6

GPA, above 2 of the 80 other shipping software we grade

Parcel Monkey is a UK courier comparison and booking service. You enter a parcel's weight and size and it returns quotes from carriers such as DHL, DPD, Parcelforce, DX and CitySprint, covering UK, European and worldwide delivery. It serves individuals and businesses, and bookings can include several parcels or a bulk upload.

To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Parcel Monkey, taken from its own pages and our grades.

You enter a parcel's details for a quote, and what else it asks for is not on record.

The report card

Best for comparing UK parcel couriers

ParcelMonkey compares couriers for UK, European and worldwide parcels, with bulk upload and pages for same-day, large items and eBay returns. No prices could be confirmed because its site blocks automated reads and quotes need your parcel's details, and the homepage lists no store integrations or apps.

Who Parcel Monkey is for

  • Fits if you send occasional parcels in the UK or Europe
  • Works for people sending several parcels at once through bulk upload

Who it is not for

  • Skip it if you want published prices, as none could be confirmed
  • Not for you if you want Shopify or an API, since none is listed
  • Tight if you want a phone app, as none is mentioned
  • Watch out: the site blocked automated reads, so this rests on the earlier listing

Good to know

Good for

  • Individuals and small businesses in the UK comparing courier quotes
  • Sellers who book several parcels at once

Worth knowing

  • No prices could be confirmed: the site blocked automated page reads, and its homepage shows no figures; quotes come from entering a parcel's details.
  • The homepage mentions a free account but lists no store integrations such as Shopify or an API.
  • No mobile apps are mentioned on the homepage.

Part 02 · Pricing

What it costs

Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved

Parcel Monkey's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.

No prices could be confirmed, so it is graded as an ordinary C.
From our grade for value for money

We could not confirm Parcel Monkey’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. parcelmonkey.co.uk has them.

Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own

2/80

Other shipping software it is graded above

Parcel Monkey's GPA of 1.6 is higher than 2 of the 80 other shipping software we grade, and level with 9.

It stands best on value for money (C, above 10 of 80) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

To replace Parcel Monkey you would be making discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 69 of the 80 other shipping software grade higher.

What you could not

  • Discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier.
  • Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.

What this rests on. Parcel Monkey’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.

Where this guide comes from

The prices, plans, platforms and features were read from Parcel Monkey’s own pages on Nov 13, 2026, and the grades were given on Nov 13, 2026. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from ParcelMonkey's own pages on 13 November 2026; the site returned a bot check on a later read, so the grades rest on the listing alone. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews.

Every tool we list gets five grades, A to F, each with its reason, and a GPA that averages them. How each is decided is at toolgpa.com/grades. This guide is ToolGPA’s own work; it is not made, paid for or approved by Parcel Monkey Ltd. Prices change, so check parcelmonkey.co.uk before you buy.
