“I am pleased with the way you get quotes in very quickly. I do believe the Shiply HQ could spell out the fact they have nothing to do with the transport drivers and the contract is only with the driver. All the HQ could do was send an email to the missing driver. Unfortunately went missing for days due to being struck down with Covid. Hopefully back out of isolation and goods should be delivered soon. It was very worrying not knowing where the goods were and I was at the point of reporting the driver as a missing person to the police. Overall I would use again as it is a great cost effective service.”

“You would have got 5 stars but you dismissed my complaint as 'not possible' - it is, and didn't reply to my e-mail. Ticket ID – 611917. The service from the transport company was brilliant.”

“Had huge problem with my delivery and support was unsupportive. Also the Shiply website specifically says “pay after delivery” as one of the benefits, but they don’t tell you you must negotiate this with the transport company. So when I refused the demand to pay before delivery, I was held to ransom by the transport company. And Shiply were no help at all. They didn’t even bother to reply to my last email asking why their website states this”

“It was difficult to get in touch with you, and the drivers didn't speak English, and then I panicked because you didn't send me the invoice to pay until I rang you up on the day, so I was worried you wouldn't deliver my boxes. Apart from that they arrived safely but was a stressful experience!!!”

“There are still a few fantastic couriers operating on Shiply but the site is now largely dominated by a major Polish carrier operating under two different user names. It pitches high and then 'undercuts' itself by a pound, using its two identities to give the impression that their pricing is in some way competitive. This happens every time I post a job to Shiply. I have used this company and they do a good job, I just wish that Shiply was more transparent and didn't facilitate this kind of price fixing.”

Hi James, Sorry to hear you feel this way. The majority of our transport providers do a fantastic job, unfortunately, it's the small minority that let down the majority. We take all efforts necessary to reduce the number of unreliable transporters on our site, and this includes a thorough vetting process and continuous monitoring of service delivery standards. I would kindly request you to leave some feedback for your transporter on their Shiply profile so that other users can be made more aware of your experience with them. I hope this one transporter does not taint your view and opinion of Shiply, and hope you consider using us again in the near future. Regards Anne

“The men were v polite and friendly but rather disorganised. Never know when they were coming although I had 4 hour time slot it was often changed and delivery also. I’m sure if they get themselves organised better they will do well”

“Its a good concept and works fine. But... several serious dislikes 1. some of the navigation is hopelessly complictaed 2. Impossible and counter intuitive to find how to log out 3. Not easy to contact despatchers. 4. Phone service (call centre) ridiculously long wait. Blamed on Covid ! Unbelievable given the pandemic has existed for more than 12 months, plenty of ti,me for the company to sort out their call centre arrangements.”

“Shiply provided a simple way of finding a means of transporting a large item from Scotland to southern England. The bidding system was an effective and rapid means of getting a competitve bid. The 'Deposit' which is the cut taken by Shiply is however a rather large part of the total cost and I shall try to avoid paying it in future.”

“Shiply are good at what they do, collecting quotes for deliveries, but they need to monitor the companies they allow to use their site. Although my choice to use this specific delivery company they were not good, price kept changing and my delivery was 5 days late. Great concept Shiply just monitor who you use ?”

“Shiply were great throughout the whole process they kept in regular contact with me and updated me frequently, until my item arrived and the delivery men called me from the bottom of the stairs asking me for £20 cash to bring the item up the stairs. I advised I had never been informed of this charge before and would not have used the service if this had been the case. It was extremely awkward for me being called at night and asked for £20 which I wasn’t prepared for at the very last minute. The men delivered the item regardless but I felt a bit stressed by that last part of the delivery.”

“I asked for a quote to possibly transport a car. It’s easy to use the site and I had loads of replies very soon. The sale fell through so I started answering all the people who had been good enough to contact me. I’d only got 3 answered when I got a nasty email from the person I’d just thanked for the quote, their reply took me by surprise. It was rude and offensive and unfortunately I won’t consider them again and certainly wouldn’t recommend them due to this. All it takes is 1 unprofessional answer with a very unpleasant manner to put anybody off. The only saving grace is, I never gave them any work. I contacted the company but had no response. Don’t care now, I won’t consider them again”

“disappointed. purchased an item off ebay as the quotes received were reasonable only to find once I'd made the purchase & wanted to book non of the people who quoted could provide the service specifically asked in the quote request so now I have to pay an extortionate price to a proper furniture remover.”

“Well the jury are out I guess. They certainly got the quotes coming in but I am very concerned with the response from the chosen company. The Shipley phone Consultant Sarah was however delightful. And I hope her efforts are successful.”
