Finding delivery companies can be time-consuming, especially if you want to get multiple quotes for the same job, phoning around for estimates can be a long winded process. Shiply helps you bypass the hassle of finding multiple companies to quote for your delivery.

We operate as an online transport marketplace, which means that when you post a job on Shiply (free) any of our 45,000+ registered transporters can quote a price for the delivery.

Delivery companies compete for the chance to complete your job. It works just like an auction, but in reverse – the more transport providers that quote for your transport request the more the price gets driven down, meaning a cheaper delivery service for you.

You don’t have to accept the lowest quote for a delivery (there’s no obligation to accept any quotes at all); you can choose the offer that suits you best. You can analyse the transport provider's feedback score and comments left by previous users to understand the level of service expected for example.

You might ask how the transport providers can afford to carry out jobs for so little, given prices on Shiply are typically up to 75% off standard rates. Transport companies use Shiply as a way of supplementing their regular full priced contract work and often have spare capacity along a route or return route similar to your delivery.

It’s far better to deliver something than to just have empty wasted space in the van or lorry. Shiply was founded on the principle of helping transport firms keep their vans/lorries full for as much of their journey as possible and cutting down on un-necessary dedicated trips.

Shiply doesn’t just help users save money on their deliveries, it also helps offset a lot of harmful CO2 by reducing the number of vehicles needed to transport goods.

When transport providers get extra work through Shiply they are helping to keep their vehicles full, which helps them make extra money off journeys they already have planned.

By posting delivery & transport jobs on Shiply you can help thousands of transport companies make more efficient trips by keeping their lorries and vans full. More efficient journeys mean fewer vehicles on the road – fewer vehicles mean lower carbon emissions.

In fact, to date we estimate that through using Shiply, our users and transport providers have helped save over 35 million otherwise un-necessary road miles. That's about the same as driving around the world 1,404 times.
