So we have ad hoc deliveries all over the world but a lot in the UK. We used to list deliveries on there and get 10-20 quote every time. The last few I have put on we've had bugger all!

Is there another rival site thats set up I dont know about?

We have a car panel to go from West Yorkshire to Kent on Friday and nobody quoting at the moment!

I've also had nothing from Shiply since listing a car for transport.

Used to get half a dozen quotes inside an hour before.

Anyone know what other services exist or can recommend the one mentioned above?

Had a listing with them since last night and not a bean. Both seem incredibly quiet.

Bit of a random thing to look for, thought you were sending a car panel? Think bigger items you should give http://www.tuffnells.co.uk/home a go instead as they specialise in big bulky items like that, or https://www.dxdelivery.com/

This is a car site and I did say I was looking to transport a car! wink

I thought taking it apart and posting all the individual parts was more random. biggrin

I was wondering how a website like Shiply could possibly go under considering they're just a middle man and even a six form business studies graduate should be able to work out how much of a cut they need to take in order to be profitable!

Cost of customer acquisition a huge driver in such a competitive marketplace.

Funnily enough this was my post and I was struggling yesterday with another delivery. Brexit has impacted the provision of services by a lot as there are less drivers around these days. Shiply have come out on top though any van it just doesn't seem like there is anyone on there any more.
