Shiply

Shiply provides the best value service providers. I would recommend shiply any time for sourcing transport service providers.
Reliable and cost effective

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.

They do NOT screen the transportation providers on their website. My experience with Shiply and their provider was awful to the point of fraudulent. The first transportation company provided to me through their website did not pick up my vehicle yet made multiple charges to my credit card. I had to incur significant costs to store my vehicle and the fees to use a ride-sharing service to get around at my current location while I waited for my vehicle. Shiply did nothing to resolve the issue with the original transportation company and the bare minimum (transfer of my original deposit to a new provider). DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICES UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE SCAMMED.

I needed a lamp I had ordered from Ebay to be collected, wrapped and delivered to me at a reasonable price. Most well known companies will not wrap items just collect and deliver. The company sends you details of any driver wanting your business - you pay Shiply a fee upfront and the rest is paid to the driver on the day.
The large pottery lamp was delivered smashed because the driver had allowed a member of the public onto his van who then dropped a chest of drawers on my lamp. This person did pay for the cost of the lamp, but in my shock (I had been searching for over 25years for such a lamp!) I paid the driver his fee.
Once I recovered from the shock I complained to Shiply as I wanted my money back (the driver must have been insured) but they ignored me. They then sent two emails a few weeks apart asking what I thought of their service and both times I gave a negative review and still no response.
Basically they just want your money and couldn't care less about customer service - its not as if they are not insured so cannot afford to give refunds in order to keep customers happy. If I had been given a refund I would probably have used them again as accidents happen, but as they are not interested whatsoever I will never use them again so please beware.
