Shiply is an online marketplace for moving stuff. You list what you need to move on the site and then thousands of delivery companies who are already making similar journeys bid for the job.
Established in 2008, Shiply was born following the founder’s discovery that many vehicles were driving around with unused space with 25% of trucks on the road running empty and 50% only part-full. The debt we owe the environment is high, and Shiply has helped to pay some of that debt back by saving a total of over 26million kg of CO2 since launch.
Shiply is for delivering anything larger than a parcel (cars, house removals, furniture, pets, you name it). Just make a listing on the website and you’ll receive quotes from vetted delivery companies already going in your required direction, carpooling your delivery and saving you money as a result – up to 75% compared to standard delivery prices.
Once you’ve received a number of quotes, take a look at each transport provider’s experience, previous feedback and insurances. After choosing and accepting a quote, you pay a deposit to secure your booking. The rest of the balance is paid to the transport provider.
With Shiply, you can avoid the heartbreak that comes when seeing a ‘collection only’ item on eBay. As an eBay-compatible application, you can get listed even faster by inputting the product URL for the item straight into Shiply and the fields will automatically populate themselves with all the required information.
Next time you need something large or bulky moved, try carpooling your delivery to keep emissions and costs down.
