Shiply

Very nice site, easy to use and it is quite friendly. I will recommend to friends and family. I have had problem with delivery as i bought an item on ebay without figure out the distance believing i will get somebody to deliver. I never realize how expensive became, then i started to search for parcel delivery but most of them don't deliver heavy stuff. Until i came across shiply.com where i found a right person with a right price

On the website pages about the deposit, it is claimed that said "small deposit" ensures that the client is faithful and does not cause expensive damages to the moving company with last minute cancellations. But at 27% of the moving quote, which in my case was a whopping £1500, this amounts to hundreds of pounds to give effectively to a middle man that does nothing when you have agreed the quote already with the moving company.

Long story short, they are out to rip you off so just rely on good old Google.

It is disappointing that Shiply (like Uber) takes no responsibility for the service they broker. I was badly let down by a transport provider, and, as a result, was forced to re-book at short notice with another one at considerably greater cost. All Shiply offered was to refund the booking fee for the first driver. Just as Facebook must accept that they are publishers, and Uber take responsibility for their drivers, Shiply should offer compensation or some other recourse rather than simply wash their hands of the service they broker.

The whole idea of Shiply is just great: 1) it allows me to book transport for moving stuff at a price I can afford. 2) it allows us little people to connect directly with independent drivers at a price that they too can afford; it doesn't take mass overheads from the drivers as other platforms do; it's almost like a networking service at a nominal fee. 3) it has allowed me to become independent and made waste prevention accessible; I can now buy second hand goods at a price I can afford and get them delivered. I cannot stress what a game changer this is; most of us would love to buy second hand but lack the finances to do so. Shiply has changed that. 4) It's almost like car-sharing; without having to be a car-owner - this is when technology is used for the greater good!

We got a variety of expansive and competitively priced responses to our call out and found a really good company at a great price. Importantly I think care has to be taken by checking the reviews of the companies who give the quotes - if you don't you could end up with difficulties. Shiply just provides a platform for you to receive bids. I think we were able to choose a competitive price and reliability through this Shiply platform as I could access all the info before we booked them. It worked well for us.

The provider that contacted me quoted $1600 to get my camper to Georgia from Nebraska. I paid $271 deposit. Picked up problems and couldnt make the move. Sent an email to return my deposit l. Seems like they are based in london. Never saw my deposit again. Looked like an indian lady on the other side. Thanks for nothing.

After I paid the deposit they charged £10 extra for every flight of stairs - down and possibly up again. They claim it is in the terms and conditions but I could only see that after I was already committed i. E. after I paid the deposit. So I tried to cancel. No refund. Lost my money. And no delivery either. So the item I paid for is stranded with the seller. What a waste!

Bought a Nathan sideboard on ebay. Needed to get it delivered to us in Plymouth from Exmouth, distance of 55 miles. Chose a company that assured us if we paid extra for packaging it would be insured. This was important as we had paid £150 for the furniture. Have to say the transaction went ok, our only criticism was that it took two weeks. Of course, there was a public holiday during this period which we appreciate. Would recommend.
