Man and Van & Man with A Van

A man and a van are the perfect solution for most shipping needs. For many large deliveries, using a man with a van will be a great, affordable option. Man and Van couriers mean that you will not only have a man with a van who drives your item from A-B, but also is on-hand to help with handling, loading and unloading large, awkward and bulky goods. This differs from traditional small package operators.

Man and Van operators often carry large goods and furniture such as beds, tables, chairs and for the extra large items often bring along a drivers mate who can offer extra assistance (although this will often incur an additional cost).

Man and a Van teams are commonly the best solution when a lorry service is simply too large for what you need to move. A man with van outfit will often have several deliveries to complete within a given area; by using Shiply they can fill up spare space they may have on a delivery route. This means the savings made are passed on to the users of Shiply, who pay less than the standard rate as a result.

Man with vans come in all shapes and sizes, so it is important you choose the right one for your delivery work.

Make sure you measure your items to be delivered as accurately as possible, this will make it easier to know whether a van’s capacity will accommodate the transportation of your goods.

When choosing a man and van operator, it is important that they are properly insured to carry goods for hire and reward. Also, with Shiply, each transport provider is feedback rated so you really know who to trust before entering into any agreements.

As with any large or bulky delivery, it is advisable to take photos of your items before they are picked up by the man with a van, just in case there are any damages in transit or disputes at a later date. As always, making sure your goods are packaged/protected as best they can will help ensure a safe passage. Further, most "White Van Man" operators do carry padding/blankets to further protect your goods in the cargo area.

Once the transportation has been completed it is essential to check the condition of your goods, preferably while the man with van driver is there.

If the man with van transport was organised through Shiply, it is important to leave feedback so that future users will know what to expect from the company.
