“My first time using Shiply. I didn't have a good experience unfortunately. I had problems with the delivery company and telephoned Shiply - got the impression that the person that I was speaking to really wasn't bothered and was cut off which having waited in a queue for 20 minutes to speak to someone did not impress me one bit. I emailed Shiply as I didn't have any confidence in the call handler and to be fair got a quick email back. They did email the delivery company to press for progress but it was very clear to me that this was going to be the full extent of their assistance. The item was delivered - in a damaged condition. I did not think that there was any point complaining to either Shiply or the delivery company in view of my experience with both - a lot of effort on my part for very little return. In short - I would not rule out using Shiply again - but would be very wary and it would be my last resort.”

“Removal men spoke little English and were quite rude. Very unhelpful if moving item required any kind of thought. Left my table outside and my friend was able to get it in so they should have been able to. Would not recommend”

“Found it frustrating. Chose a company who then could not do the job in the required timescale. I wanted to select my second choice but because Shipley had closed the job, I actually had to re-post I.e. start again. Very, very irritating especially as the next time I posted the offers were all much more expensive.”

“Transben me mandó un presupuesto con una fecha concreta. Le dije que no podía ser esa fecha y, en vez de proponer otra, me dice que no lo hace y que les reclame los 20 euros de reserva a ustedes. Lo siguiente que se de ellos es que me dicen que soy regular mentalmente. Una joyita y muy educados.”

“Useful, but clearly don’t care about quality of their sub contractors. If so, why use Proovia?”

“Excellent idea but it didn't work for me as I am 80 and inexperienced having never used a courier before. When I was messaged by Shiply to ask my chosen courier to bring proof of his licence and insurance alarm bells rang as I thought that was their job to check before adding him to their list. I cancelled the courier and messaged Shiply explaining why and asked for my £12 deposit back. I haven't heard from them and haven't been refunded.”

“The goods eventually arrived after the driver revisited the collection point 3 times !!! And didn’t understand the simple instructions. Caused a lot of extra communication to resolve what should have been a simple Collect and delivery. Disappointing”

“Waited 2 weeks (my maximum allowable time) to find out the day before pickup they were going to collect between 9pm and midnight!! Absolute nonsense of a time. Spent about 2 hours trying to get through on the phone with the most annoying waiting message that predicts a wait time of 1 minute regardless of queue length (both times it was 25-35 minutes wait). Had to rearrange pickup for 2 days later to get a reasonable time so they ultimately missed the 2 week delivery window I had. I thought going with a more independent company would give a better service but I found it very stressful and difficult. It may of been covid/NY related I don't know but I obviously don't care as I pay for a service and expect better than I received, there are no excuses and it is when things go wrong you find out how good a company/service actually is”

Please contact us so we can assist further with this matter.

“Kinda works, but for newcomers not always. For example, once you've worked out how to edit your description to make it more accurate, you lose all your bids, then it's too late to wait for more because your deadline is approaching. It perhaps makes sense to lose all your bids but there should at least have been a warning. The worst of it is having to pay £125 to Shiply (more than a quarter of the total bid) for doing not very much, when the courier does much more work and has more expenses.”

“DO NOT USE IF YOU ARE TRANSFERRING BULK ITEMS. We had a terrible experience, we were transferring over 200 items from one location to another and the service was terrible. You had to wait over 30 minutes on hold to speak to someone, sometimes when you got through the line cut off. We placed our orders and paid and then they wanted more money out of us because they did not quote correctly their end, which was their error and they were not willing to collect our items unless we paid more. We had to keep chasing to speak to someone to confirm pick up times and delivery it was a logistical nightmare constantly being on hold or being cut off the line. You only get this several hours before. THE WORST PART - We provided all quantities, size, measurements on the quote and when the lorry when to collect on two occasions they sent a half full Luton lorry with other customers items to collect ours. We then had to wait another week for this to be resolved and collected, more painful phone calls and emails, which were not responded too. THE NIGHTMARE - It didn't stop there!! We had a collection for over 200 chairs and we had 52 missing chairs, these went missing for over a week! We called constantly and they kept saying they delivered all chairs. It's only until we provided them with REG vehicle numbers and times, that one van that arrived at collection point in the evening, did not arrive at deliver with the remaining chairs. We checked all CCTV and only then a week later did our chairs miraculously appear, funny that! It was a shocking service from start to finish and i would not use again or recommend. Please be careful, the prices are VERY CHEAP for a reason!!”

Hi, Thanks for your review. However, it should be made clear that your review is for your experience with your chosen transport provider, not Shiply. Shiply is just the marketplace, we do not do any transporting ourselves. Regards Simon

“Perhaps this relates only to US-based replies but my freight request MN to FL drew 3 replies none of whom would identify themselves including one with an abbreviation similar to Fed Ex and another which was your basic LTL consolidator with a database and not-to-be-believed low rates masquerading as an individual hauler. Sites like these encourage cowboys mentioned above to sign up and offer bids but apparently, some here have had successful transactions. I'm just pointing out the cruel "other side of things." If you come here instead of to the major haulers themselves you add risk to your delivery. It doesn't mean you fail. You simply increase risk by seeking a cheaper price. Only you know if the risk is worthwhile. This site isn't here to accept responsibility for anything nor should it be. It's a bulletin board/marketplace site as old as the internet itself that takes a cut of an accepted bid price then moves on to the next transaction. Period. Anyone expecting amazing customer service beyond "it's between you and the carrier" will be sadly disappointed.”

“OK, but the whole financial process should be held within the Shiply sphere. I do not like it that Shiply take a fee and then leave it to bank transfer. Shiply should take full responsibility, manage issues properly.”

“I was not impressed with the company you allocated my dresser to. It took exactly 1 month for me to get my dresser, the reasons I am not happy with them is 1 they made arrangements with Jenny to pick it up from the storage place in the evening and left her waiting in the cold and rain for 3 hours before they text her to say that they would not be able to fit it in the van, she was very angry with them and I totally agree with her.when I was cleaning it I found that a piece of the lip around the base of the top cupboards had been broken off, if they had given it to me I could have glued it back on. I know it wasn't damaged before because of the photos she sent me.”

“The pick up driver demanded to be paid on loading the bench saw into his truck. This I did not do as Shiply had advised it was not a requirement; indeed, Shipley expressly instructed that no payment was to be made until delivery was complete. The office of the carrier was informed and they apologised.”

“Whilst fundamentally a good idea, I would urge people to reasearch the 'company' they are considering employing. My experience was a bad one and clearly not all of the companies on this portal are as they proclaim. It's a shame that one can't therefore consider this a trusted site.”

Hi, I am very sorry to hear about this bad experience of yours. We put all our transporters through vigorous checks before they are able to start bidding on our platform. This includes checking insurance details and contact details. If you can contact us and give us further information about this incident we will look in to this. We can be contacted on 020 3137 2454 Monday-Friday 9am-6pm, or alternatively, send us an email to support@shiply.com if there are any outstanding issues. Regards Anne

“I recently engaged your services, had a quote. Then a revised quote, which would have saved me some £20. Upon enquiring about the reduction - No useful help was offered. I was not very pleased. Many Thanks, Brian”

Posted 7 months ago

Hi, Thanks for your review. If you have accepted a quote you aren't able to then accept another. This makes the service fair for both the user and transport provider. If users were allowed to change their minds every time a lower quote came in it would not be an efficient service for either party. I would encourage you to allow a greater number of quotes to come in before accepting one, this way you are giving yourself a greater chance of getting the best possible price. Regards Simon

“After 3 attempted times, piano was moved fine but by a company that had quoted less than the one I had booked. Very frustrating, should have used local man with a van who had the wheels to move a piano”
