I used it in 2017 to move 3 cars, I checked the feedback and spoke to the companies. Very happy with the company I ended up using

I've used Shiply a few times now - all good. However you have to treat it like eBay. Beware of very high bids at the start (I'm sure a bit of shill bidding goes on) and always check feedback. There are some pretty strange characters on there.

Thanks People.

Peterws1957, you are so right regarding the charachters, some of the responses have been strange to say the least.

In the end I went with someone whose ratings and reviews I checked thoroughly and who spoke well (i.e could string a sentence together).
