Want to move big and bulky items across the country cheaply, including cars???? Or just move a package as normal?
http://www.shiply.com/ is an innovative new web site which matches people who need things delivered with empty lorries already making journeys in the same area. Shiply say 25% of all lorries on Britain’s roads travel completely empty - that's more than 112,000 lorries pumping out an unnecessary 36 million tonnes of CO2 a year.
Members simply list goods and eBay items they need delivered on the site for free, and wait for offers from the thousands of transport providers who are already making similar trips to make a bid. As hauliers are fitting deliveries in with an existing planned route they can offer discounts of up to 75%.
Shiply has also developed tools which allow bidders to import items they have won or are currently bidding on from eBay into Shiply – ready to receive to bids from transportation service providers. At any one time there are over 930,000 items listed on eBay which are listed as available for local collection, usually because they're too big (and therefore expensive) to send. Ordinarily, arranging a courier is time consuming and pricey, but Shiply make it simple, easy and cheap.
A Daily Telegraph reporter recently used the service and saved £81 moving a sofa from Berkshire to London.
Shiply is a great way to save money, avoid congesting Britain's roads further and cut pollution - find out more or give it a try by visiting www.shiply.com.
