A Little Bit About Shiply
Just like eBay is an online marketplace for buying and selling goods, Shiply is an online marketplace for transporting goods. Users simply list items they need to move - free and with no obligation and then receive low cost bids from thousands of feedback-rated transport companies.
By matching people up with delivery companies who have spare capacity, Shiply helps to dramatically cut down on wasteful journeys and reduce CO2 emissions. At the same time, costs to the consumer are up to 75% off.
Launched in June 2008, Shiply has:
- Over 570,000 registered users
- Over 44,000 registered transport companies
- Received over 963,516 quote requests
- A new quote request made on the site every 19 seconds
- Had over £100m of work available
- Had 4 million bids placed on delivery listings
- Saved over 33 million miles by making use of spare capacity in lorries and vans
- Won over 10 business awards ranging from Nectar Start Up of the Year 2009 (£2,000) to Shell Springboard (£40,000) & The Dutch Postcode Lottery Green Challenge (EUR 100,000)
