“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”

“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.”

“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”

Helpful Report

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

“The actual Shipley website is a very good concept and I have used Shipley very successfully on a couple of previous occasions. I have just used the service again and found the courier company to give very poor customer service, texting to confirm that my delivery was under an hour away and then advising me that they had forgotten to put my item on the van and so I consequently had to wait a further 4 days for delivery. When I texted back to say it was poor customer service nobody contacted me to acknowledge the situation or apologise. Useless.”

“Contacted by goodfellas for a quote to move a bed frame. Price and times agreed. Goodfellas appear to also be provia. Lots of emails sent to us usually in duplicate. Let detailed instructions for delivery as was at work. Left on voice message, email And delivery information. Driver snd mate had not been provided with this and if they did did not understand it. My neighbour who has self quarantined for months had to get involved ringing my wife to replay the instructions. Used Shipley twice 1st time excellent this time probably easier to hire a van.”

“I used the service a few weeks ago and was quoted a reasonable price.Your servicewas recommendedto me by a friend.The company I dediced to use weren't the best.Communication was very poor.However the driver and his colleague were excellent. The quotes varied greatly and I picked one, maybe I should have reviewed these companies first and not relied on the fact that they must be okay as Shiply was sending me quotes from them. This time I used the service for a quote and it was far too expensive.I hired someone from Facebook and got the job done at a fraction of the price and no hassle, job done, item delivered promptly in one hour from beginning to end. I am unsure if I would use you again.If I did I would have to go to the extra work of Google searching the individual companies myself, which sort of defeats the object.”

Hi, We recommend allowing a reasonable amount of time to receive as many quotes as possible in order to get the best price. If you are in a rush then you may only receive a few quotes and they can be more expensive. It all depends on the circumstances of your delivery and the drivers available at the time. Shiply makes it free to list, receive and review quotes so there is no risk or cost incurred in listing your item and seeing what sort of quotes you receive. I hope you will use Shiply again in the near future.
