Shiply

The concept of the site is excellent. In reality you have very poor business people running the actual deliveries. Shiply also are not straight forward in showing you how to resolve issues and once an issue arises it's very hard to even complain let alone resolve the problem. My items were not on time and also arrived damaged. The seller has sent me pictures of the wheels before they were sent. So I'm assured they were in decent condition. However no care was taken in transit hence my anger. Waited a long time for damaged goods to arrive. End result is... just bend over and take it if something has gone wrong as your willing to take a risk on internet sites you just googled to get a job done

Courier tore my new sofa, scratched the arms... and then damaged my property significantly by denting one wall, taking plaster off the wall and ceiling, scratching one door and breaking another door. Complete cowboys! Shipley will not cover you as they claim to be a matchmaking service only. Courier is only covered whilst in transit - so while items are inside the van. Courier was completely unprofessional, Shiply offer no resolution so I'm stuck paying for damage to my item and property. Avoid at all costs or this will cost you dearly!

Courier changed the agreed days (booked and deposit paid) for the job to days which were entirely unsuitable. No attempt to fit in with my needs and wishes so I asked Shiply to refund my deposit. This was done promptly, but only into my newly created Shiply account to use on their services in the future with a 2 year limit. It is not like I am needing to move furniture as a normal householder very often-so I have lost the money!
I have never had this experience with any other business or shop, so until their attitude to refunds change, I cannot recommend them

Shiply is expensive. I paid $116 to them in an initial transaction just to find my shipper on their platform. There was a separate transaction to pay the shipper for his work. It's my own fault for not realizing the amount I was paying Shiply just to use their platform, but lesson learned. I will never use Shiply again.

The shipping was ok. Nothing to say other than the contracted party showed up and did what I paid him for. He did not exceed my expectations, and I don't want to write a neutral review and potentially hurt someone's business. So, I ignored Shiply's request to post a review. And then they send me the email I have attached here so you can see it with your own eyes. If I don't leave a review, they are going to post their own positive review. This is highly deceptive.

I won't use Shiply again, and I highly recommend against them!

We had a motorcycle shipped. When we received the email for a review, it does not allow you to submit a negative review. No matter what we did, unless we clicked "positive" the site would not allow our review. So someone would have to go in and read a positive review to know it was negative. The site just kept posting "A negative review can't be left until ##/##/##." A date that was 2 weeks out from the shipment. They are hoping people forget. We did have an issue - bike was dropped and clutch handle broken. Shipper said not them, although dealer had photos and video of loading showing no damage. Also, shipper was not very professional. DO NOT TRUST the percentage of positive reviews on their site.

Stay alert that Shiply is the playground of scammers. Scammers are easily get verified by Shiply and after the fact that scam happens, Shiply provides no refund for your loss. I personally lost almost 1800$ on Shiply over a booking to ship my car. The scammer easily got away and Shiply did nothing about it.

So late in may I hired shiply to transport a piece of equipment from California to new York and after waiting for it to be picked up the driver decided not to load it. This was after I gave the request $440.00 deposit. With that I hired someone else which was $525.00 higher but they picked it up and delivered it without a deposit. Several times shiply kept telling me I will get a refund however I was having some issues giving them the required paperwork. After 3 months after I told them to just keep my money and leave me alone well once again they got in touch with me and with some help we got the required info they needed and once again we waited to find out once again we were jerked off.
I inquired what was the status of our refund and got a dear John letter informing me that I canceled the load, with no reference to the $440.00 deposit or the driver failing to load the equipment.
Once again I told them to stuff my money in their $#*!.
Never use these people!

IAmos710 was a pleasure. He was prompt in response, kept us well informed of his progress and delivery of our new 4 by 6 enclosed travel trailer went without a hitch. A true professional and would use him again for any delivery needs.

We paid shiply to send a 2016 ford escape from winnipeg to Montreal. The vehicle was subcontracted by shiply to a company called Fyre logistics. The vehicle was never shipped. It ended up in a shipping yard in Toronto with damage to the bumper and hood of the vehicle. The truly unbelievable part is that they had put over 3000 km on the vehicle! Shiply referred us to Fyre, who would only respond by email to tell us they went out of business and where the vehicle could be picked up. Shiply has refused all responsibility for the damage, wear on the vehicle, and refused to refund the cost of shipping that never occurred. Currently seeking a lawyer to recoup costs.

Some of the prices are totally ridiculous but wait for a few as they get lower
Make sure you have all estimates before you choose
I would not use any other firm now as far less hassle getting all prices at once instead of having to contact individual couriers. Have asked Anyvan in the past and no where near as competitive as Shipley. Please not this site is to connect customer with firm. Shipley do not contract the courier and they state on their site that you should check courier has all the correct credentials, but that is fine because you know before you hire, so check courier reviews and insurance before making payment for Shipley services, they are simply an intermediary to get prices in one place
