I shipped a car from England to Germany. The transport company Transportpackages owned by a Mr Thomas Davies took a deposit of 250 gbp. A day before pickup got a message that the he had problems with his driver. After that no response to meesages emails or phone calls. He claims on the feedback on Shiply to. Have refunded me after my bad review.
As far as I can see this fraudster is still trading, and Shiply take no responsibility. The derails that they forwarded me were false. It appears they do little to no vetting.
In short there are some good transport companies on Shiply but when they connect you up with a fraudster they wash there hands.
