I used Shiply for a recent transport. On Shiply i found 407 drivers. They are a shell company that is very likely operating illegally in Canada from the US. They picked up my sprinter van and left it with the keys in it on the side of the road some 14 days later, I had to get the Toronto police involved. Long story short, I did get my van back after it being left in downtown Toronto for 5 days, and they never refunded me. Shiply did not help with this situation at all. They did not do their job and verify the companies they recommend or allow to operate on their website, this was obvious as 407 drivers was obviously a shell company, my mistake for trusting Shiply to be a intermediary. They do not offer any assistance during disputes, they took 3 days to reply to my email stating that my sprinter van was "stolen" when it was left in Toronto and the location was not disclosed to us. They did not offer a refund for their blatant incompetency and lack of verification of this company. They took no responsibility, So what value are they? The answer is none, they just take a fee and offer no assistance. Why bother using them and paying their fee is they offer absolutely no value and false sense of verification and safety.

I was frustrated with Shiply as this was not the first time I had paid a deposit of £6, only to have my chosen courier pull out at the last minute due to problems with his van breaking down. I was then forced to carry on using another Shiply courier when I may have wished to choose another company. However, to be fair to them, Shiply transferred the deposit onto the courier I did end up using, so all was well in the end.

It is not an easy process when you need to contact a seller to arrange a collection date and time, and then ask the courier whether they can make that, followed by going back to the seller etc etc. Not always possible, and I have lost various courier quotes as a result.

Great company to talk to and will help and refund when they can, just a shame they allow bait & switch pricing as well as absolute cowboys to trade on their site.

DO NOT TRUST THEM.
December 29, 2019

Shiply is not a real company. They are irresponsible and indifferent to any deal and agreement with customers. They even don't respond to costumers. DO NOT TRUST SHIPLY. They will give you a significant financial loss as they did to me. NEVER TRUST THEM. They feel no responsibility and have very poor customer service. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR PLANS BASED ON THEIR PROMISE.
