Household Removals on Shiply
Household removals are a little harder to organise than your run of the mill delivery. A million factors can seemingly affect how smoothly your moving day goes. Using Shiply you can take out of the hassle of searching through house movers and let them come to you instead. With a little research and knowledge of you want to be moved you can sort out your household removals in a pinch.
Before even considering removal quotes, you will need to work out what is being moved. Separate all possessions into two piles: one which you intend on moving to your new destination and a pile that you can afford to throw or give away. This will probably involve finding a lot of items you forgot you even had. Any unused items that are being transported is extra work for yourself and potentially a costlier house move.
Shiply provide a simple to fill out inventory when you list your house move. You can mark what items (and how many) will need to be transported and the resulting total volume will be calculated. This means home movers will be able to fully assess the job and quote accordingly. It will also mean that house movers who are ill-equipped to move your items, such as basic man and van services, will be less likely to quote on your job by mistake. Quotes that you do receive will be relevant and your house move will be less stressful!
To list a move on Shiply all you need is the collection and destination postcodes and the inventory of items to be moved. House movers will then quote against one another to win your work. The reverse auction format on Shiply creates healthy competition between home movers and the resulting household removals quotes are up to 75% off the industry standard.
Because every household removals team is different, it is best practice to thoroughly research moving companies credentials before accepting a quote. On Shiply this can be checked all on one page. You will be able to see their level of insurance, their size and importantly their feedback reviews from past customers. House movers with a lot of positive feedback can be trusted to complete your move without a hitch.

When Will I Receive A Quote?

If your delivery is urgent, you can try our 'featured delivery' feature which moves your listing to the top of the search page for couriers.
How Many Quotes Will I Receive?
Whilst there is no guarantee of quotes, 98% of our listings receive at least 3 quotes, so you are likely to find someone who can undertake the delivery of your items.
Does Shiply Provide Packing Materials?
If your item requires packing materials or extra care then you should make sure this is highlighted in your listing and discussed with any transport provider whose quote you are considering. Couriers on Shiply are able to provide all levels of service and can help pack your items, just ensure you inform them of your needs.
Will My Goods Be Tied Up Securely?
Transport providers will almost always tie up an item in the transport vehicle, as the risk of damage from moving around during transit is high. You should always confirm safety precautions and packing needs with transport providers before accepting a quote.
Can Items Be Taken Upstairs?
Yes, items can be taken upstairs if needed, and can also be assembled. Transport providers on Shiply are happy to provide these services, but you should ensure that you are mentioning these requirements in your listings as it may mean a second person is required for the move.
Can I Travel With My Goods?
The majority of transport providers on Shiply are only insured for the transportation of goods, however, some are also able to take people. If you need to travel with your goods, make sure to mention this in your listing and highlight this to any courier who quotes on your listing.
What If I Need To Cancel My Booking?
If you have accepted a quote and paid the deposit but wish to cancel the delivery, then you should first inform your chosen transport provider that you no longer require the delivery. You should then contact us at to have your deposit refunded.
Can I Change The Address Of The Delivery?
If you have not yet accepted a quote then you are able to change the address of your listing. Note that editing details of your listing after publishing will result in active quotes being voided, so you will have to wait for new quotes to come in. If you have already accepted a quote and need to change the address, please let your transport provider know and contact us at .
