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.
Not trustworthy at all, i shipped my car using shiply.com. The company i deal was another agent too unfortunately, they said it needs 10-12 day's it took a month and it was scratched from both sides and from the back. After i reported with shiply for the delay before i got it they just replied back we are just agent we can't do anything try to contact the company again. The company name is carshippingsolution his name is Alex
Agreed the the cost time and they delivered with no delays, all communication was clear the company did what it said on the box.
All went smooth from quotes to selection and then collection and delivery
Courier was customer friendly

Shiply helped me find the best price for the movers, the communication over Shiply is quick and easy, and the service providers are reliable.
Managed to get my broken down vehicle back home from France via a Shiply transaction. It all went smoothly and the vehicle was delivered at the stated time by the haulier. Had to trust the Shiply reviews but the haulier was excellent and communicated well throughout. Think the Shiply fees are a bit high for their part of the delivery process but guess this is offset by cheaper delivery costs from the hauliers. Would use again.
I have used Shiply to find carriers several times now and it every time it has saved me money. I will use again!
It is cool to receive many quotes, however my first experience was negative with the guy not showing up to collect goods and not even bothering communicating properly ( to be fair he was new to the website and I gave him rust with no reviews). Shiply hasn't been much useful with this, but at least they recovered my deposit.
I then tried again and I got an excellent service by a Polish transporter with many positive reviews.
What the user should know is that negative or neutral reviews can't be left for a number of days (10?), so beware.
Great way to find car movers which can be difficult otherwise.
Seemed to work well with plenty of interest in my fairly small job.
Did pretty much what it said on the tin, but allow a good few hours for quotes to come in.
I was lucky to get a small local starter guy who did the job for a very good price.
The nearest quote was more than twice.
The only criticism I have is that the operators may not be given enough initial information to make a good quote.
Multiple bids for my business, sent very quickly. Ridiculous range in cost from about £50 - £300+! Some companies are simply stupidly greedy as such a price range for the same delivery cannot be justified! In the end I went for a low quote, but still far from the cheapest, and have no complaints.
Shiply is a brilliant concept and works well. My experience was entirely positive.
Tip for consumers:
Just use Shiply - no hassle, multiple quotes in about six hours.
I may just have been lucky, but the seller of the sideboard was as impressed as I was - collection on time despite short notice.

Good_fellas courier service to pick up and deliver a sideboard from Manchester to Dumfriesshire
Best way to find the best and cheapest courier to transport goods bought on eBay. Plenty of reviews help you find the best provider on the basis of your needs (ie most cheap, fast, specialist, etc).
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.
Company was punctual, communicated exceptionally well and price was fair. Driver was polite and obliging and goods in transit were looked after well.
A superb way of finding businesses/individuals to transport goods around Europe or within the UK. Site is not always that clear to use and you can get a bit overwhelmed with emails from suppliers submitting quotes - often multiple ones, however, it is effective. Shiply respond well to emailed customer services but their customer service number appears to be non-operational. I required a refund as my first supplier let me down- this was processed quickly and effectively by Shiply who take the initial (approx) 20% deposit directly.
I have used Shiply several times... It is important to pick well-rated suppliers as some can be rather unreliable.
Great service that took a lot of hassle out of a purchase that would have been awkward to fulfill for a collection angle.
Reliable and quick service to arrange the collection of the things we need picked up. Easy to arrange, good website and user friendly.
Easy to use it gets the job done, links me up with competitive hauliers very professional its easy to link to ebay
I would never have been able to get my collection of vintage cameras to the French Alps without the various quotes from Shiply's great MEMBERS!
Easy to use invited good quotes deposits easy to pay good email communication and advice good feedback access to choose the best people and avoid the unprofessional ones
It provided me with an excellent person to transport my vintage car. However, as a private individual rather than a commercial operator it took me some time to get to grips with the online system.

Shiply meets a real need, and manages what it offers with professionalism, clear communication and support. My only niggle is having to wait a Sunday to get a response when the company I chose let me down. But otherwise excellent.
Great service. However I think they take too higher cut from drivers so they often ask to be paid outside of the system and although this has always been fine, it isn't ideal.
Good quick communication, had a bit of misunderstanding but all sorted amicably at the end. Delivered by lunchtime as agreed. Professional service.
Dudes, I got the job done in the end, BUT i had a few mishaps but they were sorted out to my satisfaction. The item arrived in good condition and didn't "disappear" on the way which in my view is all about trust. Communication is key here as nothing is perfect so always check the couriers feedback and speed of replying to your emails and text messages in a timely manner
Collected a composite front door and delivered nearly 200 miles away. Arrived safe and on the date asked for. Would use again.
Thanks.
Great service 90% of the time. On occasion delivery people stop responding meaning I have to restart the process. Otherwise excellent!
Shiply is mostly an excellent app to use to find a company for transportation of goods collected and delivered at very good reasonable prices. I find by being patient and waiting for about 5 bids from different transportation companies, reading their introductions to determine and fully checking their feedback from other users is the real determining factor for me, rather than just blindly choosing the cheapest bid. The last transportation company I chose were great, professional throughout by first asking me the right questions so they could determine both situations at collection point then at delivery point which told them how many stairs to climb etc, and if they needed 1 person or more.
I only rated Shiply 4 instead of 5 because there are a few unscrupulous people who will bid for a job and state £225 for payment. I can only conclude that these bidders do not have any other background commercial or domestic deliveries to make and purely rely on just bidding for jobs on Shiply, which isn't what Shiply is designed for, it's designed to keep costs of transportation down. So please be aware. However, as long as you can recognise the pitfalls one should be fine. As I can't drive, Shiply enables me to buy certain items even if they're halfway up/down/sideways across the country and gets them delivered to my door.
Thanks Shiply :)
